094 The Fundamentals: God The Trinity

Do you know the Bible is God's Holy Word? Do you know it is

inspired, in errant, and infallible? If so, like, share,

subscribe and support this podcast. So we are Maranatha Ministries and now Reduction Draweth

Nigh. Welcome, Ladies and gentlemen, Welcome to the program. We are

your host, Mariah and Matthew. Tonight we have another episode in addition to

the Fundamentals series. And I love how Mariah titled this. She titled this

in a way that won't get your attention, because well, I'll just give

it to you. It's God the Trinity. Now, all of us are

used to saying God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.

I've never heard this said God the Trinity. I've never heard that.

So it's amazing how her insight is just it's just well, it's it's I

couldn't name it God the Father, God the Son, the Holy Spirit because

it'd be too long, because it'd be too long. Right, So give

us your opening comments on this. Why why why did you choose this?

Because I did not. You chose this next in the series. As a

matter of fact, you're the one that chose the series to begin with.

Well as we've talked about before. The reason why I wanted to start this

series was because there are certain things that you can't You can't say that you're

a Christian if you don't believe this, because there are just there are just

certain things you can't deny as a Christian, and God the Trinity is one

of those things. If you walk up to someone and you say, hey,

do you believe in the Trinity, and they say, oh, Jesus

wasn't God, you would say, Holy Cow, which which cult is this

guy from? That's my initial thought whenever I talked to If I ever talked

to someone, if they say anything sideways from God is the Trinity, I

will not only I would feel very I would not only feel uncomfortable, but

I would probably also feel offended if you if you imply anything even close to

the idea that away from God the Trinity insinuating anything like Jesus isn't God,

or the Father is and the Son or the Holy Spirit isn't part of the

anything like that, I will immediately become a very worry of you. And

I think as Christians the Trinity is one of our it's one of it's one

of the biggest parts of our testimony, our gospel is God, the Trinity.

If we don't, you know, if we don't believe that Jesus is

God, what's the point of believing in Jesus. We don't believe in Jesus,

what's the point of what's the point of being a Christian? Right?

There is no point? I mean, you're not a Christian, okay,

if you don't believe that Jesus Christ went from being the Son of God to

God the Son. And if you don't believe, then there's no point in

you professing Christ. There's no point in you professing Jesus because he didn't die

for your sin. So what it matter? So you're absolutely right about that.

It's just that I never looked at it. And yes, everything you

said is true. If if anybody denies the Trinity, Okay, immediate walls

go up, immediate walls of protection. And you stated it, right,

which cult are you a part of? That's the only I mean, really,

you'd stated what your conscience would naturally, Yeah, lend credence to this

is not a Christian. This is something by far worse. Uh. This

is someone who says they're a Christian because they haven't written their own book.

Someone who wants to take bits and pieces of someone else's book and make their

own story and make their own which is the tale of a cult. Yep.

That is a cult anny cult. So you you put that in such

a very simplistic and easy way that even though I hadn't verbalized it, you're

describing exactly what's what happens to me. And you're right, it is God

the Trinity. If you step on that, you're you're the enemy. Okay

you may think you're not my enemy, but you most certainly are the enemy

if you do not hold to the fundamental fact of the Trinity. Yep.

So I had some comments with you about this. You said you wanted to

make a document, and you you did, you put together the document.

But I see that that my two interjections have floated to the top. Oh,

because that's because well, verse John five seven eight was the first one

that you gave me, that verse before even started. And then Genesis,

the Genesis one one through five goes very well with Genesis one one through eighteen,

which I already had on there. And Genesis one one through eighteen is

by far that is the one passage that proves to me beyond a shadow of

a doubt that the Trinity is true. If you if you don't believe John.

The first chapter in John is describing the trinity and is concrete proof of

the trinity and is literally telling you what the trinity is. You are I

don't know what's going on with you. Maybe you haven't read it. But

if someone were to say that to me and be like, you haven't read

it, you have a completely opposite thought process of me. And this is

the truth. If I was going to start laying out a set of tracks

leading to the truth, I would not begin laying the track with John Chapter

one. I wouldn't. And you state just the opposite. You would state

that, no, no, this is where you start. So you're taking

me by surprise again. I mean, this is the chapter that explained the

trinity to me. You mean, independent of your mother and I. When

you're reading the Bible, this one explained it to you. Really. When

I was younger, Mom had me read this chapter and I never really understood

what it was about. So when I was older, I went and read

the chapter, got to understand what it was about. And that was actually

when I was trying to read all four of the Epistles, and I started

reading, and I was like, oh, so this is about the Trinity.

Obviously, let me correct you. Just here. Okay, you almost

said apostles, and then you set epistles. It's the Gospels. It's not

the apostles. It's not the epistles. It's the four Gospels. But anyway

you want to apostles, it doesn't matter. You have intrigued me that this

is where you would go. This is this is where God told you the

Trinity was independently of your mother and I. So you're going to have to

read this? Are Are you going to read all eighteen verses? Yep?

Okay, all right, we'll give a lot to read today, all right.

So so I do have to say this. The mainstream of this ministry

now has made a transition from New American Standard Bible to the New King James

Rtune, What are we doing this out? What? What did you?

This is an asp I just need to let everybody know what. But then

the verse that you gave me said, right, you said it had to

be MKJV. So that one is on KJV. The was it first John?

First John five th eight? That one's on KJV but everything else I

can spause A sp is the one that I like? All right? Then

read it for use all right. In the beginning was the Word, and

the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in

the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and apart

from him, nothing came into being. That has come into being. In

him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light

shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. There came

a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a

witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but he came to testify about the light.

There was the true light, which coming into the world, enlightens every man.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him,

and the world did not know him. He came into his own, and

those who were his own did not receive him. But as many as received

him to them. He gave the right to become children of God, even

to those who believe in his name, who were born not of blood,

nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but

of God. And the word became flesh dwelt among us, and we saw

his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of

grace and truth. John testified about him and cried out, saying, this

is he of whom I said, He comes after me, has a higher

rank than I, for he existed before me. For of his fullness we

have all. For of his fullness we have all received, and grace upon

grace. For the law was given through Moses, grace and truth were realized

through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time, the only

Begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father. He has explained

him. Now I'm going to tell you what this passage is talking about,

because you can't. You can't know unless you understand the Word of God is

the Spirit and the word. Okay. So it says in the beginning was

the word, the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

That's the spirit. Okay. So you need to understand that everybody else thinks

that the word is Jesus, not the spirit. So you're saying that the

Word is the spirit. I'm getting to that, okay. All right,

All things came into being through him in apartment. Nothings came to being.

That came into being, and him was life, and life was the light

of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not

comprehend it. Did it say that the Word was the light? Or did

he say that the Word was the life. Did he say the Word is

the life? No? No, it said that in him was life,

and the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

Do we have God, We have the Word, and we have the

light. The Word there was the true light, which coming into the world,

into the world, enlightens every man. The Word became flush and dwelt

among us. The Spirit came down and became the light which was in him.

So so you're talking about the instance of the transfigured, Well, I'm

talking about the baptism where the Holy Spirit descended on him like a dove.

No, I'm talking about the virgin birth where the Holy Spirit came down and

gave Jesus to Mary, who was born of the Holy Spirit. Is he

not? Yeah, yes he is. But once again, you're you're you're

I naturally assumed you were talking about when the Spirit descended on him like a

death. I mean you coming up with I mean, yes, the only

spirit overshadowed Mary, And yeah, that's just there is a neural pathway in

my mind and you just created new ones. Just what you said was true.

But I never would have come at it like that. Okay, So

now that I've presented this to you, let's read it again with this in

mind, so that we can fully understand it. In the beginning was the

Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him,

and apart from him, nothing came into being. That has come into

being. In him was life, and life was the light of men.

The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.

There came a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as

a witness to testify about the light, so that all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but came to testify about the Light.

Did he say that John came to testify about the Word. No, No,

no he did not. No he didn't. I just yeah, I

just now got that. Just now, there was the true light, which

coming into the world enlightens every man. He was in the world, and

the world was made through him. The world did not know him. He

came into his own, and those who were his own did not receive him,

But as many as received him to them he gave the right to become

children of God, even to those who believe in his name. Now when

it says there was the true light which coming into the world enlightens every man.

He was in the world, and the world was made through him.

Because Jesus was what Jesus was with the spirit. Because before the spirit was

Jesus, the Word was with God. So before the spirit being, It's

like you have God the Father and got the spirit before the spirit came down,

before God had Jesus become part Am I trying to say, before Jesus

was concepted and Mary? Right before then? What before then? He was

in the spirit who Jesus. Okay, Jesus was in the spirit. In

him was life and in him. Yes, so Jesus was there in the

beginning, right in the spirit. He came into his own, and those

who were his own did not receive him, But as many as received him

to then he gave me the right to become the children of God, even

to those who believe in his name, who were born not of blood,

nor of the will of flesh, nor of the will of man, but

of God. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we

saw his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full

of grace and truth. John testified about him, saying, this was he

of whom I said, He who comes after me has a higher rank than

I, for he existed before me. Or of his fullness we have all

received and grace upon grace, for the law was given through Moses. Grace

and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any

time, the only Begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father.

He has explained him. Okay, Now, the reason why this passage

is so important to me when explaining the Trinity is because a lot of people

don't understand. They're like, how is that possible? How is how does

Jesus and this? How does God, the Son, God the Spirit,

and God the Father all connect? How does that? How can they all

be one? God? And this passage explains that we are not a we

are not a religion that believes in three gods. We are a religion that

believes in one God of three. And this passage explains that because before you,

before you do any digging in the Trinity, you have to understand that

the Trinity is one. You cannot go into it without understanding that the Trinity

is one person. And if you go into that, if you go into

that not fully understanding, not believing that the Trinity is one, then your

whole study of it will be confused. You have to understand. And a

lot of people don't, you know, They know they're supposed to believe that

the Trinity is one, but they don't really understand it. And so this

passage read in that way is going to help you understand it. The Word

is God the Spirit, and then you have God mentioned that's God the Father,

and you have the Light and the life that is Jesus. And if

you go into this understanding that and read this passage, it will help you

understand. You need to read it independently to fully get it. You go

ahead and do that, Okay, But it does not say that John testified

about the word. John did not need to testify about the word. He

came to testify about the life. He came to testify about the flesh,

which the word became I'm and now I'm about to do something else, But

I wanted to talk today also about me unpardonable sin, because the unpardonable sin

coincides with the trinity for this exact reason, and understanding the trinity will help

you understand the unpardonable sin, because it did for me. So I'm going

to go to my next passage, which is Matthew twelve twenty two through thirty

two, but I might read all the way to forty five, and this

is the passage describing the unpardonable sin. Then a demon possessed man who was

blind and mute, was brought to Jesus, and he healed him so that

the mute man might so that the mute man spoke and saw, and the

crowds were amazed and were saying, this cannot be the son of David,

can he? But when the Pharisees heard this, they said, this man

cast out demons only by Felsible, the ruler of demons. And knowing their

thoughts, Jesus said to them, any kingdom divided against itself is laid waste,

and any city or house divided against itself will not stand. If Satan

cast out Satan, he is divided against himself, How then will his kingdom

stand if by bees? If I, by feasible cast out demons, by

whom do your solf cast them out? For this reason, they will be

your judges. But if I cast out demons by the spirit of God,

then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Or how can anyone enter

a strong man's house and carry off his property unless he first finds the strong

man, and then he will plunder his house. He who is not with

me is against me, And he who does not gather with me scatters.

Therefore, I say to you any sin and blasphemy shall be forgiven people,

but blasphemy against the Spirit shall not be forgiven. Whoever speaks a word against

the Son of Man, it shall be forgiven him. But whoever speaks against

the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven him. Either in this age

or in the age who come, either make the tree good and its fruit

good, or make the tree bad and it's fruit bad. For the tree

is known by its fruit. You brood of vipers, How can you,

being evil, speak what is good for the mouth speaks out of that which

fills the heart. The good man brings out of his good treasure what is

good, and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

But I tell you that every careless word that people speak, they shall

give an accounting for it in the day of judgment. For by your words

you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned. Now,

Jesus is mad, right, he is thoroughly angry. He wants nothing

to do. And you realize this is in response to what they said about

you cast out demons by the spirit of fusible right, that is disrespect to

the spirit, that is the unpardonable sin. When the Pharisee says, this

is not the holy spirit, this is the spirit of feelsible. And Jesus

it is thoroughly angry. But then then some of the scribes and pharisees said

to him, Teacher, we want to see a sign from you. But

he answered and said to them, an evil, adulterous generation craves for a

sign, and yet no sign will be given to it, but the sign

of Jonah, the prophet, for just as Jonah was three days and three

nights in the belly of the sea monster, So will the son of Man

be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. The men

of Nineveh will stand up with this generation at the judgment and will condemn it,

because they repented at the preaching of Jonah. And behold, something greater

than Jonah is there. The Queen of the South will rise up with this

generation at the judgment and will condemn it because she came from the ends of

the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon. And behold, something greater than

Solomon is there. Now, when the unclean spirit goes out of a man,

it passes through waterless seeking rest, and does not find it. Then

it says, I will return to my house from which I came. And

when it comes, it finds it unoccupied, swept and put in order.

Then it goes and takes along with it seven other spirits more wicked than itself,

and they go in and live there, and the last state of that

man becomes worse than the first. This is the way that it will also

be with this evil generation. All right, let's talk about this. So

why is it the unpardonable sin to disrespect the spirit that is because the Spirit

be good Jesus. And if you disrespect the Spirit, you disrespect the Holy

begodding of Jesus through the virgin birth. And if you disrespect Jesus, you

disrespect the Salvation. And if you disrespect the Salvation, you disrespect God.

That is why this is the unpardonableson. Oh my gosh. But I tell

you that every careless word that people speak, they shall give an accounting for

in the day of judgment. Do not speak a careless word about the spirit.

The Spirit is a powerful The Holy Spirit is a powerful thing, and

it is very what's the word people use, underrated? The Holy Spirit is

underrated if you think about it nowadays in this generation, when people talk about

the Holy Spirit, they do not talk about it with as much reverence and

respect as they do God and the Son. In fact, if you talk

to church people about the Holy Spirit, they speak about it as if it

is theirs and it is ours, it is our gift. But the Holy

Spirit is also God, and we need to treat it with such reverence as

it is. And in your opinion, this passage clearly speaks of the Trinity.

I'm saying that understanding this passage speaking about the unpardonable sin helps you understand

the Trinity, and understanding the Trinity helps you understand the unpardonable sin and the

fact that they came back and continued to disrespect it. They say, we

want to sign. Prove to us that you are the son of God.

Prove to us that you have the Holy Spirit and not the spirit of felsible.

Prove to us, show us a sign if you're so good, teacher,

So time out. Who list describe this entity? So they were,

who is this builds the golden What is it? It says, the king

of demons? That's right, it says, the King of So what's a

demon? That's a lot of feeling that you taught me how you want me

to go? Well, I mean a demon is an evil spirit, an

unclean spirit, thought of as very dirty in the Jewish beef. Well,

this is the first time I've ever heard this put like this, because you

what you're saying is that Jesus he was begotten of the Holy Spirit, and

these demons were not. And they are attributing what Jesus is doing not to

the Holy Spirit, to the furthest thing from it and the furthest thing from

it is the first first born son among the demons, And tell me who

begot these demons? Who is their father? Satan? So it is painfully

obvious. But what you're saying is true, It's just I've never heard it

in that light. The Pharisees were saying, no, the Holy Spirit didn't

beget Jesus. The Holy Spirit beget paleople. What they're doing is they were

calling the Holy Spirit a lie. And they were saying, the work of

the Holy Spirit is the work of the most unclean Spirit, not the only

begotten son, but have be but the work of these unclean spirits, that

work be gotten by Satan. I've never seen that in this light. I've

got to be honest with you, I've never none. So Jesus after he

after he, what would you say? He scolded them, He admonished them

for speaking this way about the Holy Spirit. Then they turn it around and

they say, prove to us that you have the Holy Spirit, in which

case they were also disrespecting the Holy Spirit and saying that the Holy Spirit did

not be got Jesus. So they disrespected it twice over. They just made

their sin that was already heaped on their heads so much worse. I mean,

they heard him condemn them for disrespecting the spirit. And they turn around

and they say, oh, well, prove to us, so show us

a sign so that we know that you're gone. Show us a sign,

teacher, And he turns around and said, an evil and adulterous generation craves

for a sign, and yet no sign will be given to them but the

sign of Jonah the prophet. And it's perfectly obvious who's he referring to.

Who they are committing adultery with. They're committing adultery with Bill Zibel. And

I didn't realize that until you just brought this up. That's why Jesus said

this. You're a wicked and adulterous generation. You are playing the harlot with

unclean spirits. I never I never saw that this text in that life.

I don't know how you saw it. I don't know how you saw John

one as the proof text for God the Trinity. I mean, now you've

got me saying it God the Trinity. And the important thing about this and

John one is that it describes to us how important the spirit is. And

it's making you perfectly clear that the Spirit is life. The Spirit is God.

I mean yes, yes, the Spirit is our gift. Yes,

the Holy Spirit is with us and it's in us. But he is God.

He is one with God the Father and God the Son. Without the

Holy Spirit, God the Father and God the Son could not be one.

Gotcha. They are equal, right, they are what got the Son,

God the Father got the skire gotcha. And that's that's why these passages are

important. Because so you're telling me why these passages are important. I appreciate

that. And and I see you're You're absolutely right. The taking of God's

word is polysynic. So this is only one way it's important. But yes,

uh, I can clearly see that now, whereas before I did not.

All right, So where do you want to go from here? I

think now it just comes to now that we've proven why the Trinity is important,

now we can talk about how the Trinity is proven. Okay, where

in the Bible does it prove the Trinity that we can't say we are a

Christian yet not believe the Trinity. Where in the Bible does it specifically speak

of the Trinity. I think a good place if you start with, a

good place to start with p verse John five seven through eight, which is

the worst that you gave me, which you immediately had problems with because it's

not in most modern translations. It's not there. So let me read that

host stanzas shall I. I'm going to read first John six, seven and

eight. Now take note, if I try to bring this up in the

New American Standard Bible, it removes most of the Greek phrases. Yeah,

so I'm gonna read the whole stanza here as it appears in the New King

James version. This is he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ.

Not only by water, but by water and blood. And it is

the Spirit who bears witness, because the Spirit is truth. For there are

three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the

Holy Spirit. And these three are one. And there are three the bear

witness on earth, the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood. And

these three agree as one. You cannot separate the Trinity from these three verses.

That's why the modern translations separate these verses from the Bible. That's why

they do it. But take note, this is reading exactly how John won

through eighteen read. It's reading in basically the same way. And take note

for John thirteen fourteen, who were born not from blood, nor the will

of the flesh, nor the will of man, but God, and the

Word became flesh and wealth among us. We saw his glory, glory not

only be gotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. So you

realize that the verses I just read are built around these two verses. They're

built around them and in the same light, in the same context. So

you're absolutely correct that these are the go to verses. And because you cannot

separate the Trinity from them, those who hate God had to separate these verses

from the Bible. And that's exactly what they did. That's exactly what they

did, And that's pretty important for everybody to know that if you're reading this

out of New American Standard Bible, you are not getting any of it.

New American Standard Bible reads as such. Verse seven is for these are the

three that testify the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood, and the

three are in agreement. That removed most of what it said. The only

way they could do that was just remove the verses from the Bible. But

we know these verses are true because these verses are in the text of the

Adido Regia. Where did we get the chapters and verses from? To begin

with the Adido Regia manuscript step Fanus fifteen fifty. That is the New Testament

that was ratified by every member of Christ Church on the place at the time.

That is why, Mariah, your New Testament has these chapters and verses.

That's why the whole planet knew it. All the German people, all

the Great people, all the French people, all the Italian people, everybody

on the planet in fifteen fifty solidified this is the Bible, Gods old work.

So if you separate these verses from the Bible, you're separating them from

God's Word. That's the only way they could do it. So these are

obviously your go to text. That's why you know this is part and parcel

with why this ministry has switched over to the inn KJV. I mean,

as long as you take a pencil and mark out in the New King James

version Luke, chapter seventeen, verse thirty six, you have the ideal Regia.

Why did they add it? Because stefanis in his fourth edition in fifteen

fifty one, he took that verse Luke seventeen thirty six, and he had

him in the footnotes, not in the text in the footnotes, but the

translators inserted into the text itself. So if you take a pencil and mark

out Luke seventeen thirty six from the new Team James version, you actually have

a solid translation of the iddology. So that's very important. So what would

you use as your next proof text? I'm curious to find out. Don't

know it off the top of your head? Huh? I do I have

it on Matthew twelve? Okay, we just talked about Matthew twelve. Matthew,

did we? Yeah, we just talked about Matthew twelve. Twenty two

through thirty two? Is what you just did? Well? No worried fifteen

to come one? Okay, all right, so what's that say? But

Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed him, and

he healed them all and warned them not to tell who he was. This

was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the Prophet. Behold, my servant,

whom I have chosen, my beloved, in whom my soul is well

pleased, I will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice

to the gentiles. He will not quarrel nor cry out, nor will anyone

hear his voice in the streets. Oh sing some and a battered read will

not break off, And a smoldering wick he will not put out until he

leads justice to victory. And in his name the gentiles will hope. That's

just me, that's proof that Jesus is God. In the passage says it

right here, my beloved, and whom I soul as well pleased, I

will put my spirit upon him, and he shall proclaim justice to the gentiles.

And then I have another one in Isaiah to then I shoot will oh

sorry, this is Isaiah eleven one, one through two. Then a shoot

will spring from the stem of Jesse, A branch from his roots will bear

fruit. The spirit of the Lord will rest on him, the spirit of

wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and strength, the spirit of knowledge

and fear of the Lord. Just another one talking about how Jesus is part

of a trie. I mean, if there's a whole bunch of verses in

the Bible, if you don't believe that Jesus is in the Spirit and the

God are all part of the Trinity, you're crazy. Next one, this

is just one that I thought was a good message about Jesus, which Isaiah

talks about prophesying that Jesus will come. Okay, who has believed in our

message? And who has the arm of the and to whom has the arm

of the Lord been revealed? He grew up before him like a tender shoot,

like a root out of parched ground. He had no stately form or

majesty that we should look upon him, nor appearance that we should be attracted

to him. He was despised and forsaken of men, the man of sorrows,

acquainted with grief, and like one from whom men hide their face.

He was despised, and we did not esteem him. And you say,

this is clearly talking about Jesus. Yeah, I'm just talking about Jesus.

Who else is you're talking about? Okay, I'm just making shore, all

right. And then we have John fourteen one through seven, which, really,

oh my goodness, this one just talks all up and down. Jesus

is the son of God. Okay, go ahead, read it. Let

your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me and my

father's house are many dwelling places. If it were not so, I would

have told you, for I go to prepare a place for you. If

I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive

you to myself. That where I am there you may be awesome. And

you know the way where I am going. Thomas said to him, Lord,

we do not know where you're going. How do we know the way?

And Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth,

and the life. No one comes to the Father but through me. If

you had known me, you would have known my father. Also from now

on, you know him and have seen him. Philip said to him,

Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. And

Jesus said to him, have I been so long with you and yet you

have not come to know me? Philip, he who has seen me has

seen the Father. How can you say, show us the Father? Do

not believe that I am the Father and the Father is in me. The

words that I say to you, I do not speak on my own initiative.

But the Father abiding in me, does his works. Believe me that

I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Otherwise, believe

because of the works themselves truly. Truly, I say to you, he

who believes in me, the works that I do, he will do also,

And greater works than these he will do. Because I go to the

Father. Whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, so

that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything

in my name, I will do it. If you love me, you

will keep my commandments. I will ask the Father, and he will give

you another helper, that he may be with you forever. That is the

spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it does not see him

or or know him. But you know him because he abides with you and

will be in you. This just proves up and down Jesus is the Son

of God. I mean, there's this there's this video on the internet that

went around for a while. It was this celebrity talking about how he was

a Christian and he was in an interview and he was asked, why are

you a Christian? And he said, I just can't believe. I find

it hard to believe that this guy changed that the world. Whole world was

changed to such a drastic extent, and so many people were moved in such

a positive way by some crazy old man. Jesus said he is the son

of God. He did not only say he is the son of God.

He said he is one with the Father. The Father is in him,

and he is with the Father. You know him because he abides with you

and will be in you. Dan. Then he talks about the Spirit.

He says, truly, I say to you, he who believes in me

the works that I do, he will do also, He says, do

you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me?

Have I been so long with you and yet you have not come to

know me. Jesus is in the Spirit and the Father, and he If

you don't believe when Jesus says this, if you don't believe this, you

don't believe Jesus. And if you don't believe Jesus, you think he's just

a crazy person. And if you think he's just a crazy person, you

don't believe anything. You might as well not read anything in the Bible at

all. You might as well not even read the entire New Testament. If

you're not gonna read the entire New Testament, don't even think about reading the

Old Testament. It's useless. What good is the Old Testament without the New

Testament? What good is Isaiah without Matthew? What good is it going to

do you? I mean, sure you're gonna be able to walk down the

streets and talk about how high and mighty you are because you read uh Deuteronomy.

You know uh, you know what, you know the Ten Commandments,

you know what it means to sacrifice to God. And yet you switch over

to the New Testament. You don't believe in Jesus. You don't believe that

the sacrifice God gave you. So what's the point of the sacrifice you gave

him? I'm sorry? What did you just say? If you don't believe

the sacrifice that God gave you, what good is the sacrifice you gave him?

I see your point? What good? If you don't believe this passage,

do not open your bible. If you don't believe Jesus is the son

of God be gotten through the spirit. If you don't believe in the trend,

if you don't believe Jesus when he says something, do not open your

bible. Because the word of Jesus is the word of God. That's why

they highlight it. Where's not not going to add or take away from that.

So what's the next question? All right there, The next ones are

the ones that you gave me, So we'll start. Yeah, well,

you gave me some about Trinity, and then I, well, you only

gave me like a couple of verses, so I put in the whole.

Okay, So the next thing is John four two through twenty six. You

worship what you do not know. We worship what we know. More.

Salvation is from the Jews. But an hour is coming, and now is

when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth. For such

people, the Father speaks to be his worshippers. God is Spirit, and

those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth. The woman said to

him, I know that Messiah is coming, he who is called Christ.

When the one comes, he will declare all things to us to us,

and Jesus said to her, I who speak to you, am he Jesus

is the Messiah. When she made the reference to the Messiah, she was

obviously making a reference to the truth, right. But he said, when

the true worshippers will worship the Father and spirit and in truth. For such

people, the Father seeks to be his worshipers. God is spirit, and

those who worship him must worship and spirit him. Truth. Do you want

to speak on that verse? Is the other one that gave it to me?

Well, I would? You have put it in a completely different light.

And I'm a calculator, And in order to calculate, you you have

to look at something first. You have to care it apart and divide it.

Okay, really, you have to divide it. You have to put

it into smaller portions, reduce it to its lowest common denominator right in the

you just presented this these verses that I gave you. I'm not going to

touch that with ten football because I have not had time to in this light

break this down to its lowest common denominator in that light. Okay, So

that's as much as you're going to get out of me. Okay, Well,

I will say this in spirit and truth? What do we know is

the truth? Jesus is the Son of God. We know that that's the

truth. And we also know that he states in this verse he is the

Messiah and it's in the Bible. So it's true. Well he didn't say

it's she will, No, he said I who speak to you, am

he am he? And she had said she had talked about the Christ.

So yeah, he was agreeing with her in an absolute way. To this

verse again, groof on proof, up and down. He is son of

God, proof on proof. Huh. I mean he said it himself once

again. He said it in himself, And we must believe. How do

I put this any other way? If you don't believe Christ, you don't

believe a thing, all right. The next one is sixteen John sixteen twelve

through fifteen. I have many more things to say to you, but you

cannot bear them now. But when He the Spirit of Truth comes, he

will guide you into all the truth. For he will not speak on his

own initiative. But whatever he hears, he will speak, and he will

disclose you what is to come. You'll glorify me, for he will take

of mine and will disclose it to you. All things that the Father has

are mine. Therefore I said that he takes of mine and will disclose it

to you. All things that the Father has are mine. Let's read that

again. When He the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into

all truth. For he will not speak on his own initiative, but whatever

he hears, he will speak. He will disclose to you what is to

come. He will glorify me, that is the spirit. He will glorify

me, for he will take of mine and will disclose it to you.

All things that the Father has are mine. Therefore I said, he takes

of mine and will disclose it to you. Trinity, the Trinity. Huh.

This is describing the Trinity communicating all all things that the Trinity, what

the Spirit has, Jesus has, what Jesus has, God has, what

God has, the Spirit has. And this the Spirit is going to take

what God says, going to take what Jesus says, and it's going to

communicate it to us. He's the helper, right, So he's the bridge

between Christ and not yep, And that's what you've told me before. The

Holy Spirit is the bridge. He's going to disclose to us the truth,

the truth, which is what is to come. All right, any more,

verses, we're at the top of the aard already, already. Don't

have to pick which one I want to read. Well, you only have

two left, okay, make it quick. You're trying to rush, No,

go ahead, I was hoping you didn't catch that unfortunately, go ahead.

First John four one through six, Beloved, do not believe every spirit,

but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many

false prophets have gone out into the world. But this you know the spirit

of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh

is from God. Notice, okay, let's read that again. By this

you know the spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has

come in the flesh is from God. You need me to read that again,

you can just read it yourself. And every spirit that does not confess

Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist, of

which you have heard that it is coming, and now it is already in

the world. You are from God, little children, and have overcome them,

because greater is he who is in you than he who is in the

world. They are from the world. Therefore they speak as from the world,

and the world listens to them. We are from God. We who

knows. He who knows God listens to us. He who is not from

God does not listen to us. By this we know the spirit of truth

and the spirit of error. Well, you realize that if you put these

verses together with the verses you mentioned before containing Belziple, there's no doubt about

it that the spirit of Antichrists mentioned here is in league with the spirit of

Belsiple. You realize that, right, just wanted to say that. The

most important thing to know that in verse two, when it says, by

this you know the Spirit of God. Spirit there is capitalized. It is

talking about the Spirit of God. Every other time when it mentioned spirit,

it's lowercase. I was talking about two different spirits. Here it's talking about

the Holy Spirit, and I'm talking about the spirit of a Christian. Right,

So it says by this you know the Spirit of God. Every spirit

that confesses, in other words, every person that confesses that Jesus Christ has

come in the flesh is from God. What is our entire thing been about.

If you do not say Jesus is of God, you are not of

the Holy Spirit. You're not a Christian. You don't believe that Jesus is

of God. So the next set of verses we already covered in the first

step. You've got first John five to one through twelve. So if you

have these verses out of the New American Standard, Bible. They're wrong.

First John one through twelve. Oh, first John five one, You're already

covered first. So if you read these out of the New American Standard Bible,

they will be wrong because those are our new Standard Bible, right,

So you are going to have to read it from over here. Okay.

So I'm gonna outline what you need to read. Okay. Oh, I

don't do that. I can just read it on my own. That's terrible.

What's Oh, I can't read it. It's dark blue? Oh,

okay, read away. Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of

God. And everyone who loves him who be God, also loves him who

is begotten of Him. By this we know that we love the children of

God when we love God and keep his commandments. Or this is the love

of God that we keep his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome.

For whoever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory

that has overcome the world our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world.

But he who believes that Jesus is the son of God. This is

he who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ. Not only by water,

but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who bears witness,

because the Spirit is truth. For there are three that bear witness in

heaven, the Father, the Word, the Holy Spirit. And these three

are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth, the Spirit,

the Water, and the Blood. And these three agree as one.

If we receive the witness of man, the witness of God is greater,

for this is the witness of God which he has testified of his son.

He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself. He

who does not believe God has made him a liar because he has not believed

the testimony of God that God has given of his Son. And this is

the testimony that God has given as eternal life. And this life is in

his son. He who has the Son is life, and he who does

not have this Son of God does not have life. These things I have

written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that

you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to

believe in the name of the Son of God, period forever and always.

Amen. Yep, So taken. If you would have removed those verses from

seven and eight. Those stands. It's from seven to eight because it's the

end of seven and the beginning of verse eight they removed. You never would

have been able to grab them. With what this was saying. And these

verses go back to what I was saying. If you don't believe in the

Son of God, if you don't believe in the Holy Spirit of God,

I mean, basically, if you don't believe that the Holy Spirit of God,

you don't you don't believe in Jesus, the Son. I mean,

if you take out any one component of the three, it's useless. I

mean, but if you don't believe the Word of God, you don't believe

the Word. And that's just the way it is. And the Word says

up and down and sideways and topsy turvy. The Trinity is one, no,

it says it in all the directions. It's like the great glass elevator

in Charlie in the chocolate factory goes up and down, sideways and any other

ways you can think of. I'm not quite sure where that came from,

but okay, glass elevator. So anyway, that's that's what I have.

Okay, a document. End of the document. Time to exit out.

We're overtime now. Oh no, did we spend too long reading the Bible?

Well, today we certainly read it in a light had not seen it

before. And that is the truth. And that's that's a good thing.

That's a godly thing. Right. If you don't believe in the Trinity,

you're not a Christian period. That is a fundamental that's a fundamental fact,

fundamental side. All right, Mariah, pray us out of here, okay.

Dear Jesus, thank you for everything that you've given to us. Thank

you for your word, and thank you for opening it up to us and

giving it to us. And thank you for giving us Christ, your Son
