There a number of reasons why this is very important, beginning with the First Commandment.
Mark 12:29-31
12:29 And Jesus answered him,
The First of all the Commandments [is], Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is ONE Lord:
12:30
And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength and serve Him ONLY: this [is] the first COMMANDment.
12:31
And the second [is] like, [namely] this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other COMMANDment greater than these.
Attempting to turn Jesus, the human born of the virgin body of Mary, into God, or into part of some pagan 3=1 deity (the trinity), is breaking the First Commandment. It also makes a mockery of Christ's Sacrifice, a liar out of both Father (God) and Christ (Father's Firstborn Son), Whom Father sent, and would render the Bible a work of confusion, which is most certainly is not. God is
NOT the author of confusion; Satan is (
1 Cor. 14:33).
The very simple and straightforward relationships of all of Creation are explained in the Bible and are consistent from cover-to-cover.
Our Creator = our Heavenly Father = The King Ruler of the Universe = The
INVISIBLE God, Whose Name is YHWH in Hebrew, or the “I AM” in English. Father can
NEVER be a human, as He told us in no uncertain terms in His Law.
Numbers 23:19 God [is]
NOT a man, that He should lie;
neither the son of man, that He should repent: hath He said, and shall He not do [it]? or hath He spoken, and shall He not make it good?
Christ = Father's Firstborn
Son and thus the Heir Apparent to the Throne. He is the Firstborn Son
OF God. Christ is the Chief of the Archangels, the Commander of the Heavenly Host/Army (Lord of the Sabaoth), Whose Name in Heaven is Michael. Micha-El is Hebrew and means “Who is
LIKE God?
Jesus = the Son of Man = the human body that Christ
INCARNATED 2000 years ago.
Colossians 1:12-15 (about Christ)
1:12 Giving thanks
unto the Father, Which hath made us meet to be sharers of the inheritance of the holy people in Light:
1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated [us] into The Kingdom of
His dear SON:
1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:
1:15 Who is the
IMAGE of the
INVISIBLE God, the
FIRSTBORN of every
CREATURE:
Just look at what “Christians” need to do with this passage in their attempt to make Jesus into God. They have to redefine
ALL of the major terms in their attempt to twist its meaning.
A
SON is the offspring of his father.
You can't
INHERIT something that's already yours.
An
IMAGE of something is a
LIKENESS. When looking in the mirror, we see an image of the human body, but that is NOT the real thing; it's an image/likeness.
INVISIBLE is something that cannot be seen. Everyone who met Jesus saw Him.
FIRSTBORN means the first to be
BORN. Being born is to be brought into existence.
A
CREATURE is something that's been
CREATED. There is no such thing as an uncreated creature.
And how could someone be a Mediator
BETWEEN two parties (God and men –
1 Tim. 2:5) while being one of those parties themselves? It's impossible!
Are you starting to see how much confusion and how many outright
LIES this one “little” thing – pretending that Jesus is God – really creates? And who started this obvious
LIE (
King of kings' Bible –
John 8:35, KJV – John 8:44)?
The
REAL reason it's so important for “Christians” to pretend that Jesus is God is because that way, in their twisted minds, they don't have to keep The Law. They can tell themselves the
LIE that “only Jesus could keep The Law because He is (supposedly) God and we are just habitual “sinners” (law-breakers, i.e. criminals), who don't have the power to break our bad habits" even though Christ said
WITH God
ALL things are possible.
It also reinforces the
LIE that got all of us banished here to Earth (
Rev. 12:7-9): that we can kill God, which is ridiculous.
Jesus referred to Himself over 80 times throughout the Gospel accounts as “the Son of Man” to leave
NO DOUBT that He wasn't God.
Christ, through the mouth of Jesus, referred to Himself as the Son
OF God at least 45 times. He
NEVER claimed to be God and made it a point to tell us no less than 50 times throughout the Gospel accounts that He was
SENT by Father (God). Christ was sent not to do Christ's own will, but Father's Will.
Further, the perpetuation of this obvious
LIE that Jesus is God, has been the major stumbling block to bringing roughly two
BILLION “Muslims” to Christ, because the “Muslims” at least understand that God is
NOT some pagan, idolatrous Babylonian 3=1 deity. The King Ruler of the Universe doesn't get sent on errands.
Finally, and most importantly, anyone who continues to believe in
LIES – particularly the
LIE that Father doesn't want us to obey Him and His Law/Commandments, after everything Christ sacrificed on our behalf –
WILL BURN (
Mal. 4).
John 17:3
And THIS is Life Eternal, that they might KNOW Thee the ONLY True God, AND Christ the Saviour, whom Thou hast sent.
