"RE: KML: 07.11.13: Habakkuk 3:3"


KML,

             You had written:

God came from Te'man, AND the Holy One ( Jesus Christ) from mount Pa'ran.
Selah. ( stop, understand, ponder, reflect )
His glory [covered] the heavens, AND [the earth] was [full] of his praise.
There has never been a time [yet] in the history of this world where these TWO saviours were glorified and their praise filled the earth ! Never. Not Yet.

 

I’m sure that you didn’t mean that God is one & Jesus is the other. It must have only appeared that way when I read the above.

 

Jesus is God. Jesus is the Almighty. Jesus is Jehovah.

It’s not Jehovah & Jesus, since Jesus is Jehovah.

We can speak of the Father & Jesus, or the Father & the Holy Ghost, or Jesus & the Holy Ghost.

However, Jehovah is the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

God, Jehovah, is a Spirit, and that Spirit is a Holy Spirit.

It is not a second or third Spirit, called the Holy Spirit.

The essence of the Father is a Spirit.

But to think that he is not a Holy Spirit, because another Spirit is called that, would be incorrect.

It is the same one Spirit of Jehovah:

 

Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

 

The Father & Jesus are the same one God, the same one Jehovah.

The plurality is not in essence, as that would be separate & different Gods, which is not what the church believes that the scriptures teach.

Because the Father loves the Son & the Son loves the Father, doesn’t mean that they are two different Gods.

With people, it is necessary to be two different beings to love each other.

But not so with the LORD.

The LORD is simultaneously the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, with the Father loving the Son, the Son loving the Father, and the Holy Ghost glorifying the Son.

There is nothing in his creation that is like him in that regard, his creatures must needs be separate beings, to be like that.

Sure it is strange & difficult to think of the LORD as a single being, while at the same time knowing that the LORD is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

However, that is what the volume of the book reveals him to be like.

 

In the scriptures, no one ever speaks to the LORD as “ye” or “you” (2nd person plural, in the King James),

but only as “thee” or “thou” (2nd person singular).

Also, in the scriptures, no one refers to the LORD as “they” or “them” (3rd person plural),

             but only as “he” or “him” (3rd person singular).

However, the LORD himself,  refers to himself as “we” or “us” (1st person plural).

The plurality of the LORD is not as three beings, or three Gods, as he is never called a “them”.

Yet, he has revealed that he has a plurality, by speaking of himself as “we” or “us”.

That plurality of Jehovah is revealed to be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Yet, the LORD, Jehovah, is also revealed to only be a single being, a single essence, a single God.

 

Plural & singular at the same time.

Nothing in creation is really like that.

Some people have tried to say that the egg is like that, with the shell, the white, and the yolk, yet it is one egg.

However, the yolk is only “part” of the egg.

But with the LORD, the Father is all of God, the Son is all of God, and the Holy Ghost is all of God.

Jesus is not part of God. Jesus is not a third of God.

 

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

 

The LORD, Jehovah, is singular as one essence, one being, one God,

yet, he is also plural as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.

Jehovah is not 3 Gods.

He also does not have 3 heads, 6 legs, four arms, and two wings.

Yet, that is how the Catholic church used to paint him.

Their pictures showed an old man God, sitting next to a young man God, with a bird God flying over the top of them.

That is certainly not Jehovah.

A painting of the Father as old & Jesus as young, implies that the Father came first, long before the Son.

That is heresy & contrary to the scriptures.

The Father didn’t create the Son in eternity past.

Jehovah is not an old man God giving birth to a baby God, in eternity past, which eventually grew up to be the young man God.

The Son always was and always will be; the same is true of the Holy Ghost.

The singular Jehovah didn’t “become” plural - he always has been singular & he always has been plural.

The LORD doesn’t change, he is immutable, as well as eternal.

 

I’m sure that you believe all this, and it must have merely been confusion on my part, when I read what you wrote.

 

I had sent in three other letters to FiveDoves, where I explained things a little clearer than I did above.

Please to take a few moments to look at them, especially if you are going to reply to this letter.
