Do You Know GOD?

[Question]

God does things with the POWER of Holy Spirit, Holy "Breath", "Wind" (as it means
in Hebrew and Greek) . Notice how God REVEALS it to all Christians- not as
a Ghost, or any kind of Person, as God, Christ and angels have:

Acts 2:1- When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place.
2- Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled
the whole house where they were sitting.
3- They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest
on each of them.
4- All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other
tongues as the Spirit enabled them.

God WANTED them to know what IT was; His POWER!
The sound of WIND (spirit), the physical appearance, not of little FACES-
but power- LIKE 'tongues' of 'flame'; FLAME the one source of energy and
power they ALL used!

 

[Question]

Acts 2:16- this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:
17- And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
18- yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days I will pour out my spirit; and they shall prophesy.

Is one of 3 'God-Persons' "poured out" by one or two of the OTHER 'God-Persons'?
Our does God "pour out" POWER to His believers?

 

[Question]

The distinction between Christ and God is seen once again:

Acts 2:22- Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through him in your midst, as you yourselves also know
23- him, being delivered by the determined purpose and foreknowledge of God, you have taken by lawless hands, have crucified, and put to death;
24- whom God raised up, having loosed the pains of death, because it was not possible that he should be held by it.
25- For David says concerning him:
I foresaw the LORD (Jehovah in Hebrew) always before my face, For He is at my right hand, that I may not be shaken.
26- Therefore my heart rejoiced, and my tongue was glad; Moreover my flesh also will rest in hope.
27- For You will not leave my soul in Hades, Nor will You allow Your holy one to see corruption.
28- You have made known to me the ways of life; You will make me full of joy in Your presence.

Jesus died- and regardless of the spin churches give John 2- it was GOD, not Jesus, who resurrected him.

 

[Garee]

If God is/are the Supreme beings, all "Co-Equal", how do the trinnies see THIS?-

Mark 3:28 -Truly I tell you, people will be forgiven all their sins and all the blasphemies they utter.
29- But whoever blasphemes against the holy spirit will never be forgiven, but is guilty of an eternal sin."

Was Jesus saying it's less of a sin to Blaspheme him, or 'God-the -Father'?
If the Trinity was real, and they were "co-equal", it would be the same for all 3!
In Matthew he added that their lies about himself would be forgiven too- but NOT the spirit!

Was the "Holy Ghost" the most powerful of the 3 'Gods/Beings/Persons/Natures'?
Of course not; blaspheming against the holy spirit was doing so against the One acting thru it: Jehovah, the God of Jesus Christ!

Ghost another word for spirit breath of spirit life

The Holy Spirit of Christ the anointing teaching Holy Father. Named his bride Christian. . . a demonym, residents known by location.

The invisible city of Christ prepared for his bride named after her husband Christ the founder of the city. A befitting name to name the bride of all the nations of the world Previously called her Isreal as in all Israel is not born-again Israel as if sola scriptura had no effect

Ghost Old English gast "breath;

Jehovah meaning our almighty invisible God has become the savoir.

 

[Question]

Acts 2:29- Brethren, I may say to you confidently of the patriarch David that he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day.
30- Being therefore a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that he would set one of his descendants upon his throne,
31- he foresaw and spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.
32- This Jesus, God raised up, and of that we all are witnesses.
33- Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the holy spirit, He has poured out this which you see and hear.
34- For David did not ascend into the heavens; but he himself says, Jehovah [Greek substituted "LORD"] said to my Lord, sit at my right hand,
35- till I make thy enemies a stool for thy feet.
36- Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified.

AGAIN, the CLEAR contrast between God and Christ.
God was NOT the Christ, anointing 'Himself'!
Jesus sits at GOD'S right hand, NOT next to Himself!
And it was GOD who made him Lord and Christ.
God did NOT make HIMSELF so!

 

[Question]

Acts 2:34- For David did not ascend into the heavens, but he says himself:
The LORD (Jehovah in Hebrew) said to my Lord, Sit at My right hand,
35- Till I make Your enemies Your footstool.
36- Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly that God has MADE this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.

GOD (not Jesus) MADE Christ Lord; he wasn't ALREADY Lord.

 

[Question]

Acts 3:12- When Peter saw this, he said to them: "People of Israel, why does this surprise you? Why do you stare at us as if by our own power or godliness we had made this man walk?
13- The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our fathers, has glorified his SERVANT Jesus. You handed him over to be killed, and you disowned him before Pilate, though he had decided to let him go.
14- You disowned the Holy and Righteous One and asked that a murderer be released to you.
15- You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this.

God is NO ONE'S servant, and never died! Jesus was and did!

 

[Question]

Acts 3: 17- "Now, brothers and sisters, I know that you acted in ignorance, as did your leaders.
18- But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets, saying that his Messiah would suffer.
19- Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord ("Jehovah" in the
book quoted from),
20- and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you even Jesus.
21 -Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets.
22- For Moses said, 'The Lord ("Jehovah" in the book quoted from), your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own
people; you must listen to everything he tells you.
23- Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.'
24- And all the prophets who have spoken, from Samuel and those who came afterwards, also proclaimed these days.
25- You are the sons of the prophets and of the covenant which God gave to your fathers, saying to Abraham,
And in your posterity shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
26- God, having raised up his SERVANT, sent him to you first, to bless you in turning every one of you from your wickedness.

God is not the One that would suffer as a man- it is the Messiah He sent!
God is not a Servant- Jesus is!

 

[Question]

Acts 4:7- And when they had set them in the midst, they inquired, By what power or by what name did you do this?
8- Then Peter, filled with the holy spirit, said to them ...

Was Peter "FILLED" with 1/3 God or the POWER of God?

 

[Question]

Acts 4:10- know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
11 - Jesus is " 'the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.'
12- Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name GIVEN under heaven by which we must be saved."

Notice the contrast between the One True God and Jesus His son?
God has GIVEN Jesus as Savior, the Name (name meaning "Salvation of Jehovah") to be saved by.
He didn't become a man- His SON did.

 

[Question]

Acts 5:29- Peter and the apostles answered, We must obey God rather than men.
30- The God of our fathers raised Jesus whom you killed by hanging him on a tree.
31- God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins.
32- And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the holy spirit which God has given to those who obey him.

GOD raised Jesus- not Jesus by himself WHILE NOT ALIVE!
WHY was "Tree" used, instead of "Cross'"
GOD exalted him- God didn't exalt Himself- or One of Themselves!
God gives POWER- His holy spirit- not one of Three God-Beings!

 

[Question]

Acts 5:32- And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the holy ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.

The mis-translation of "spirit" as "Ghost" misleads.
God, thru His Power - the holy spirit- relayed this information to them.
God doesn't GIVE another God, or 1/3 of Themselves! He gives of His POWER!

 

[Question]

Many Trinitarians claim Jesus gave up 'being God' when he became a man. That means they weren't a 'Trinity'!
Stephen saw otherwise; he saw Christ AFTER being resurrected to heaven:

Acts 7:55- But he, being full of the holy ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on
the right hand of God.

God referred to separately, Christ on God's "right hand".
Even others saw the holy spirit for what it was: POWER.
Stephen wasn't FULL of one 1/3 of the Gods.
He saw God and Christ.

 

[Question]

Acts 8:17- Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the holy ghost.
18- And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the holy ghost was given, he offered them money,
19- Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the holy ghost.
20-But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Was one of the 'God-Persons' a GIFT from the OTHER Two?

 

[Question]

Here is an interesting reference to holy spirit:

Acts 8:26- And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem
unto Gaza, which is desert.
27- And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the
charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship,
28- Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.
29- Then the spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot...

If by now, after reading all these many scriptures (in order from Genesis!), you are still thinking the Holy Spirit might be a GHOST-God- why was the ANGEL there with Philip?
To me, it's easy to see that God was guiding both the angel and Philip WITH His spirit (Breath) - His POWER that his servants are "Filled" with, which is "Poured" out and divided. Not Coming Himself and bringing an angel to relay a simple message...

We all have to choose for ourselves!

 

[B-A-C]

19- Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the holy ghost.
20-But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money.

Was one of the 'God-Persons' a GIFT from the OTHER Two?

You're using a quote from Simon the Sorceror to support this?

 

[Question]

Acts 10:34- Then Peter began to speak: "I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism
35- but accepts those from every nation who fear him and do what is right.
36 - You know the message God sent to the people of Israel, announcing the good news of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.
37- You know what has happened throughout the province of Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached
38- how God ANNOINTED [appointed] Jesus of Nazareth with the holy spirit and power, and
how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.
39- And we are witnesses to all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree;
40 - but God raised him on the third day and made him manifest;
41- not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.
42- And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the one ordained by God to be judge of the living and the dead.
43- To him all the prophets bear witness that every one who believes in him receives forgiveness of sins through his name

The TRUE relationship of the Only True God- and His Son.
No shared 'Godhood' , No Ghost-God. GOD (a separate Being) was WITH Jesus.
I/3 God did NOT anoint (appoint) another 1/3 God, with ANOTHER 1/3 God-Ghost!

Dear @Question
How much of this comes from Rhema or is it your own research and prayer?
Maybe, you need to ask him how to answer the questions I posed to you, for you have yet to answer them.

With the Love of Christ Jesus.

[B-A-C]

Trinitarians agree with every verse you've posted here.

Yes Jesus has a God, no argument. Just like you have a family. You are family, you have a family. We've already discussed this.
Jesus is God, Jesus has a God. It's all the same God.

Jesus was made? Yes He was made human at some point. But that doesn't mean He didn't exist before then.
He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. Nothing before Him, nothing after Him.

Almost all of the verses you've posted, enforce the Trinity.

 

[Question]

Acts 10:44- While Peter was still speaking these words, the holy spirit came on all who heard the message.
45- The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of the holy spirit had been poured out even on Gentiles.
46- For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

The Holy Spirit is "poured out" and referred to as a Gift.
No Ghost-God!
God, or 1/3 God was never poured out.
