I'm a strong believer in CHRIST'S return.
My Church worships Them as one. A Trinity of ONE person who is the one God of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ who is Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Israel would never accept a Trinity of persons.
Rereading your post gives me the true spiritual sense:
I'm a strong believer in CHRIST IS return.
Typos do not just 'happen'. Your contraction was deliberate by your internal spiritual who is waking slowly.
Sorry to tell you -- your statement sounds delusional.
8 Do not correct a scoffer, lest he hate you; Rebuke a wise man, and he will love you. 9 Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be still wiser; Teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. 10 "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11 For by me your days will be multiplied, And years of life will be added to you. 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone."
I see a Christian psychiatrist regularly and he's well aware of what the Lord has called me to do and doesn't consider me 'delusional'.
At the bottom of your profile page you have 'End' then 'Beginning' several times -- is there a significance to that?
Rev 21:6 And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. I will give of the fountain of the water of life freely to him who thirsts.
Go figure, antichristian thinking is frequently delusioned.
Again, you are deceived and attempt to deceive others.
There is indeed one God who reveals Himself to us in various methods. He reveals Himself to us in the Word and historically and livingly as one God, but three different persons.
The Son is one with the Father and the Holy Ghost, but that oneness doesn't imply the same person.
There will be, though, many antichrists who present themselves falsely as the Messiah in the end times. It would also be very convenient for them to defraud fellow believers by encouraging soulish thinking and lacking discernment between the persons of the Godhead, encouraging them to only consider false liars as having divinity even though they only displayed the attributes of a singular person or even convoluted with demon possession.
Israel will accept a Trinity of persons for a Millenium and more.
We all have beliefs in doctrine that we were raised with. I'm here to tell you what the people of Israel will be presented with.
As for attacking another's beliefs, that is NOT loving thy neighbor. Repent your sin.
Then you may want to not attack the beliefs of our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
The whole Trinity of persons was hatched by the Nicean Council. The whole of the Athanasian Creed would be correct except for the plural of person.
Glad to know you are talking with someone. Frankly, I think you're wrong to think you are a messiah or the messiah.
The use of "end" was put on my FReeper page to indicate the end of the page. I added "beginning" to refer to new life in Jesus.
You know, Jesus?
The One Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us, and for our salvation, He came down from Heaven. By the Holy Spirit He became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake, He was crucified under Pontius Pilate, He suffered death and was buried. On the third day He rose again in accordance with the Scripture; He ascended into Heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead. And HIS kingdom will have no end.
That is the Jesus to Whom I refer.

Wellllllll, hopefully they don't lead any little lambs down that delusional path with them.
Baiting me? No thanks.
Groups such as the those who developed the Nicene Creed, may have indeed recognized the Trinity, but then again any student of Scripture, who simply takes in His Word, thinking it, through faith in Him (after confession and turning away from sin for the believer) is now available for God the Holy SPirit to grow and sanctify both the believer's thinking (soul) and his spirit to understand the Trinity per His pace. I discern your posts are spoken as though from one who has no relationship with God, yet speaks from a soulish perspective. They might also simply be those of one who seeks to malevolently deceive, or one who lacks knowledge and has fallen into a form of arrogance. In either case, even more blessed are those who write through faith in Him.
Would you consider the major and minor prophets, John the Baptist and even Jesus Himself delusional? Best not scoff too long, the end of the world is Tues Aug 22 by all accounts.
No thanks.
I am not here to change your thinking. Worshiping three gods, however, is not a correct perception of the Lord Jesus Christ. If a person maintains an illusion of three persons or three gods, conjunction with the Lord is not possible. They will not become enlightened or regenerated until the next life where angels take great care to teach that God is one.
The Lord is not divisible by human beings. He is infinite.
I agree totally the Lord has a Divine plan for all. By understanding His Divine Providence, we can see the things in our past from a spiritual degree. During regeneration, this became very clear.
Luke 19:11-27 11 Now as they heard these things, He spoke another parable, because He was near Jerusalem and because they thought the kingdom of God would appear immediately. 12 Therefore He said: "A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom and to return. 13 So he called ten of his servants, delivered to them ten minas, F122 and said to them, 'Do business till I come.' 14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a delegation after him, saying, 'We will not have this man to reign over us.' 15 And so it was that when he returned, having received the kingdom, he then commanded these servants, to whom he had given the money, to be called to him, that he might know how much every man had gained by trading. 16 Then came the first, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned ten minas.' 17 And he said to him, 'Well done, good servant; because you were faithful in a very little, have authority over ten cities.' 18 And the second came, saying, 'Master, your mina has earned five minas.' 19 Likewise he said to him, 'You also be over five cities.' 20 Then another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I have kept put away in a handkerchief. 21 For I feared you, because you are an austere man. You collect what you did not deposit, and reap what you did not sow.' 22 And he said to him, 'Out of your own mouth I will judge you, you wicked servant. You knew that I was an austere man, collecting what I did not deposit and reaping what I did not sow. 23 Why then did you not put my money in the bank, that at my coming I might have collected it with interest?' 24 And he said to those who stood by, 'Take the mina from him, and give it to him who has ten minas.' 25 (But they said to him, 'Master, he has ten minas.') 26 For I say to you, that to everyone who has will be given; and from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. 27 But bring here those enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, and slay them before me.' "
I know what the Lord has told me through reading and meditating on His Word and its confirmed in countless ways daily. I didn't expect to get a serious reception to my announcement but there it is. I post under my own name.
Eight year olds cannot have a regenerated spirit. Regeneration cannot take place before adulthood. The interiors of a children's mind are not developed yet. 'Original sin' is utter nonsense.
My faith does not allow for mysteries. The nature of the Lord, heaven and hell, his Church on earth and most importantly our own spiritual and celestial development -- our minds and how the Lord interacts with us -- is fully disclosed. We are not asked to beleive the unexplainable.
People of this nation want a true understanding of the Lord before they accept Him and Believe in Him. Trying to scare people will hellfire and eternal damnation does not work. The Lord leads those to heaven with freedom, love and reason.
Blessings,
One may speak of One God, and speak of Him in three persons, without worshipping three gods.
Consider the argument of de re-de dicto.
Bob and Julie are newlywed students. Bob studies hard and late at night, rising early to attend class and returns home after noontime. Every morning Julie arises a little later and walks up the sunlit lane to a bakery for croissant and coffee. Every morning about 830 she passes an elderly gent, who once introduced himself as Jim, walking his little dog and allowing her to pet the dog. They daily exchange pleasantries and talk about this or that over a three month period, smiling and amiably continue along their different ways.
Several months later, Bob has been cramming hard for a mid-term and remarks, "That miserable Dr. Smith, he knows we haven't covered this material in the course, yet he is failing everybody even though we slave without sleep, studying topics he never teaches us!"
Julie responds, "I have never met Dr. Smith, but surely he isn't that miserable, is he?"
Bob exclaims, "Of course you've seen him, everybody has seen him, he's an institution at this cruddy ol' place and probably will be buried here!"
"Julie responds, "No, I really don;t know who he is, but why don't we go have a croissant and relax until your exam...
Bob and Julie walk up the lane as as they approach the bakery, out around the corner comes Jim, walking his dog, surprising Bob, when Julie interrupts and says, Oh, Jim,..please meet my husband, Bob,..and Bob please meet Jim..."
At this point Bob looks at Julie aghast and exclaims, "You lied, you've known Dr. Smith all along!"
In this case one could speak about the same Professor as a different person, on of the subject and one of the object, nevertheless the same Professor.
