00:03

let those who fear you turn to me that they may know your commandments. Lord, I pray that you would open eyes that they may behold wondrous things out of your word.

00:13

In Jesus' name I pray, amen. Long ago, at many times and in many ways,

00:18

God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his

00:25

Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.

00:32

The Son is a person. He is a Son. Hebrews 1 -2 indicates that this

00:40

Son was instrumental in the creation of the world. The Father created the world through the

00:47

Son, which indicates that he is there at the creation, in fact predates creation. The Son as such, not merely as a word, a concept, or an idea, but as the

00:59

Son, the Huyas of the Theos. In one, God is Theos and he speaks, in these last days he speaks to us by his

01:08

Son. This Son was there at the creation of the world. Let me hammer this point home, make it explicit and clear.

01:17

The Son predates his own incarnation. He doesn't become the Son. He has always been the

01:24

Son, eternally the Huyas. According to Hebrews 1 -2, he's the

01:29

Huyas before the world is created. This concurs with Philippians chapter 2, verse 6.

01:39

In verse 5, we learn that we should have the same mind which was in Christ, who though he was in the form of God, the morphe of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.

01:50

He didn't count, meaning the word here is hegesato, to think, to be of the opinion.

01:57

He was not of the opinion. He did not think, he did not count, he did not consider his equality with God something to be grasped.

02:05

So, the obvious deduction from that is that he is a person who is capable of considering.

02:12

Even prior to his kenosis, his humbling, humiliating of himself to take the form, the morphe of a servant, he's in the morphe, the form of God.

02:24

He humbles himself to add to his deity the humility of being a man.

02:31

Humbling himself, taking the form of a servant. Well, in order to make that consideration and not grasp to the prerogatives of his deity in heaven, he must be a thinking person.

02:44

Himself not grasping to the prerogatives that he had with his father, because it says, who though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God.

03:00

So, his equality with Theos is not something he's going to hold on to. Here's the point.

03:05

The simple, clear, unmistakable, unavoidable point, he's considering things before coming.

03:11

He himself is not merely an idea, a logic, a concept in the mind of the father.

03:17

He himself is considering things prior to the incarnation.

03:23

He eternally exists as the son. This is what John 1 -1 actually teaches.

03:29

Contrary to the teachers who say that this is merely referring to Jesus being a logic, a logos in the mind of God, the way

03:39

John uses logos is, in fact, referring to the person of the son.

03:45

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was

03:51

God. Someone will say, well, word means logos. It means logic, but John is not using it that way.

03:57

He's investing the meaning of personhood because he explicitly says in verse 2, he, that personal pronoun.

04:04

This is not just an idea in the mind of the father. This is he was with, was in the beginning with God.

04:11

In the video I posted December 11th, 2019, I brought up this verse and I taught that the

04:21

Greek language that is used here, the word was God, does not jive with a modalistic understanding of God.

04:30

There's not an identity. There would be a way for the author to say that Jesus, the word, is the father, and the father is

04:40

Jesus, and they're interchangeably so. That there's no distinction between father and son.

04:46

There would be a way to do that. In fact, what you would do is you would just say, ha theos in ha logos.

04:52

It's not what it says. It says theos in ha logos. Ha, that definite article modifying logos, makes the subject the word.

05:03

So, the word was God. That indicates the divinity, the full divinity of the son, but it does not say that the fullness of who the father is is the son.

05:15

You can't flip that. You can't make an identity based on the Greek language there.

05:21

You can't do that. That's not... There would be a way to do that. You would say, ha theos in ha logos, but that's not what the text does.

05:27

So, it indicates the deity of Christ without creating an absolute identity.

05:32

There's a way for for the Greek language to be employed to teach a modalistic philosophy.

05:39

It would be easy to do that, to actually say, Jesus is the name of the father.

05:45

There's Greek language for that. Jesus is the language of the son. That's not what the Bible does. In fact, it creates, it identifies

05:52

Jesus with God, but it does not create an identity as if there is no distinction between father and son.

05:59

In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God, and the word was God. This is hinted at in Genesis 1 -26, where there is a plural used as God addresses himself.

06:11

Let us make man in our image. And just because there's also singularity introduced thereafter, does not negate the fact that God has used the plural because he's speaking within the

06:25

Trinity. Father speaking to the Son, to the Spirit. Let us make man in our image. Just because he later uses a singularity because listen, we understand that there is only one

06:35

God. There's one essence, one nature, one being of God. But within that being, there are three persons.

06:44

There's also a distinction that the Bible creates. The Son is with the Father. The Father is creating the world through Him.

06:51

The Son is considering things prior to His incarnation. So these are some of the things that were raised in the last video, and I've been disappointed with the comments underneath the video because they're rather belligerent.

07:08

The most liked comment says something like, you know, this idiot doesn't know what he's talking about, and everybody likes that.

07:14

It's easy to to belittle a person, kind of an ad hominem attack of the person who's making an argument.

07:21

It's a lot harder to actually answer the points, and what I've discovered is that out of the some 800, 900 comments on that video, no one is able to interact with the actual points made in the video, to interact with the exegesis of John 1 .1.

07:38

I think the reason for that is that the teaching of modalism of this, or even if you don't use the term modalism, this oneness theology, the teaching is a philosophy.

07:51

It's built on a tradition that's built up. It looks biblical and pietistic, but it's not exegetical.

07:59

It doesn't actually love the Bible because you don't see in the comment section any willingness to interact with the actual text of scripture and the language of the

08:09

Bible. The personal pronoun usage of Mark 1 .11 that I raised, you are my beloved son, says the father.

08:18

So there is a personal pronoun issue that that nobody seems to want to address.

08:24

The fact that there's communication between the persons, no arguments are made. So we're going to give

08:30

Mr. Jennings an opportunity again to teach and we'll see if he's handling the text exegetically or if he's importing his own philosophy, his tradition.

08:39

He has a oneness tradition. Let's see if that's the driver or if there is actual exegesis of the text taking place.

08:52

Like a dove. He descended like a dove. And lighting upon him.

08:58

Like a dove. The Holy Ghost descended like a dove.

09:04

The Bible didn't say the Holy Ghost is a dove. Right. Why did not the

09:11

Bible say the Holy Ghost is a dove? Because a dove is a creature and the

09:16

Bible said God made every creature after its own kind. And a dove is created, but the

09:23

Holy Ghost is not created because the Holy Ghost is God. That's right.

09:31

Are you listening? That's right. Religious propaganda.

09:39

All right you Trinitarians. You said these three are one.

09:48

You said this is God the Father and this is

09:55

God the Son and you call this bird

10:04

God number three. Now all right let's put them back over there.

10:18

Come on let's put them back over there. It's time to do some biblical surgery.

10:24

We say there's only one God. Only one God. Mark 12 29, the Shema, Deuteronomy 6 4.

10:31

We do not say that there are three gods. Let's put them over there in the corner. There is nowhere in the

10:49

Bible God is addressed as Trinity.

11:02

Whenever God want us to know who he is he told us plainly.

11:09

He said I am and when he talked to Abraham I am the almighty

11:17

God walk before me and be thine perfect. He talks to Moses.

11:22

Moses asked who shall I say send me. I am that I am.

11:28

Not even God addressed himself as being a person.

11:33

That's right. God is a spirit. Now I first want to debunk the label that you put on God as being a person because when you read the scripture a person always point to human.

11:53

Then God is a spirit. Give chapter verse and Saint John chapter four and then let's get

11:58

Hebrews chapter one right and verse three. I want to take my time and just you know old country folk will sit on a porch and get that stick and start out thick but he'll whittle it down.

12:13

We want to break the scriptures down. That's right. I want Hebrews 1 3 then

12:20

I want Matthew 28 19. Right. Then I want fifth chapter of first epistle of John.

12:26

These are the scriptures that the Trinitarians use and then I want

12:32

Genesis 1 26. That's right. I want you to follow me. First in Saint John chapter 4 and verse 24.

12:39

All right. God is a spirit. No God is a person. God is a spirit. Somebody's lying and it ain't

12:45

God. That's right. God is a spirit and they that worship him they that wait wait wait wait wait.

12:55

Now viewers that are Trinitarians if there are three persons in the

13:03

Godhead which one should we wish up? That's right.

13:10

That's right. Which one should we wish up?

13:17

Jesus accepted worship. Did you hear what Jesus said? In Saint John chapter 4 and verse 22.

13:23

Ye worship ye know not what. You don't know what you're doing. We know what we worship. We know what we worship for.

13:30

Salvation is of the Jews. Why? But the hour cometh. And? Now is. When what? When the true worship.

13:36

What should the true worshipers do? Shall worship the father. Shall worship who? The father. Shall worship who? The father.

13:41

How? In spirit. What else? And in truth. Who wants it? For the father seeketh such to worship him.

13:47

What is God? God is a spirit. How do he want to be worshiped? And they that worship him.

13:52

Worship them? Him. Them? Him. How? Must worship him. Must worship singular.

13:58

Him. Him. In spirit. In spirit. And in truth. That's right.

14:10

Revelation 4 and 5. The father and son are presented with distinction.

14:19

In Revelation 6 -17, they are referred to as them.

14:25

So at times there is the plural description of father and son because there's a distinction of persons.

14:34

At other times God is referred to as in Isaiah 46, as in Deuteronomy 6 -4,

14:40

Mark 12 -29. Many places there's only one God because the being or essence of God is one.

14:47

So what we are able to do as Trinitarians is take the whole counsel of God, but a

14:54

Unitarian oneness view must say that God is never addressed with the plural.

15:04

In other words, if even one scripture refers to them as they,

15:10

Revelation 6 -17, then the entire point becomes invalid and it's refuted.

15:23

Must. He said must do. Must. Now, before you get to other scriptures,

15:32

Jesus was on the mountain of transfiguration. Right. He saw that man would try to recognize three.

15:44

Glory to God. The Lord knew that men would try to recognize and honor three.

15:54

That's right. So he left a perfect example here. In the book of Saint Matthew chapter 17.

16:01

I want you that worshiping and looking at three persons. Three persons.

16:07

Now, I'm gonna show you in the Bible where your spirit is.

16:15

It goes correct. Those who want to recognize three.

16:22

That's right. Listen. In the book of Saint Matthew chapter 17, we'll start at verse one. All right.

16:27

And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother. Yes. And bringeth them up into a high mountain apart and was transfigured before them.

16:36

Yeah. Transfigured. The power of God put him in the spirit. That's right.

16:42

And his face did shine as the sun. My God, man of the eternal Holy Ghost got a hold of Jesus. And Jesus was put in the spirit by the power of the spirit.

16:52

And he illuminated. He was shining. And his face did shine as the sun. Face was shining like the sun.

16:58

And his raiment was white. His raiment was bright. As the light.

17:03

Glory to God as the light. And behold there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him.

17:09

Wait. Moses. And Elias. And Elias.

17:14

Talking with him. Hold it right there. Moses was already dead.

17:25

And the Lord buried him. Prophet Elias was already translated that he should not see death.

17:34

Jesus had not died yet. Moses, Elias, Jesus.

17:44

Now, Moses and Elijah that appeared was the spirit of the person.

17:52

The person Moses wasn't there. And the person Elijah wasn't there.

17:58

But the spirit of the person was there. The only person that was there was

18:04

Jesus who was in the spirit. That's right. Are you listening? Let me say it again.

18:11

Moses was already dead. And the Lord buried him. Elijah was already translated.

18:19

So the physical body wasn't there. Because Moses was dead.

18:28

Of all people to use as an example of someone who does not have a body, is not corporal, why would you use

18:37

Elijah, the one person who was translated, in a sense raptured, caught up to heaven, with his body?

18:47

You're going to establish a point on on that. Doesn't make any sense. Of Moses and the spirit of Elijah was there.

18:58

And the only person of flesh that was there was the Messiah, Christ Jesus, the

19:05

Son of the living God. Are you listening? Listen.

19:12

And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elias talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto

19:20

Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here. We're glad to be here,

19:25

Lord. If thou will, if it be your will, let us make here three tabernacles.

19:32

Hallelujah. Let us make how many? Three tabernacles.

19:38

Let us recognize three. Three. Even at one point, the apostles wanted to recognize three.

19:49

Honor three. That's right. Glory to God. I hope you can give this.

19:55

If thou will. What was this written for? Our learning. God allowed this to happen.

20:01

That's right. So he can correct man and redirect man's thinking.

20:07

He wanted to redirect man's thinking. That's right. So here you have the apostles want to recognize three.

20:14

They knew Moses was great. They knew Elijah was great. And they knew their teacher, the master teacher, he was the greatest of them all.

20:24

Listen. Let us make here three tabernacles. One for thee. One for you. And one for Moses.

20:29

One for Moses. And one for Elias. And one for Elijah. While he yet spake, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them.

20:35

Wow. He was putting this out. That's right. Glory to God. A bright cloud.

20:42

Overshadowed them. God overshadowed them. And behold, a voice out of the cloud. A voice spoke from the cloud.

20:48

Which said, this. This. Is my beloved son. This is the one. This is my beloved son.

20:54

This is the one. In whom I am well pleased. I want you to look at this one. Hear ye him.

20:59

Hear ye them. Hear ye him. Hear ye them.

21:05

Hear ye him. Hear ye him. And when the disciples heard it.

21:11

When the disciples heard it. They fell on their faces and were so afraid. And they were so afraid. And Jesus came and touched them and said, arise and be not afraid.

21:19

Don't be afraid. And when they had lifted up their eyes. What did... I just can't watch this much longer.

21:28

This is my beloved son. Personal pronoun, my. A person speaking, communicating with his son.

21:37

And the argument is that there's not a distinction of persons. This passage has nothing to do with an anti -trinitarian rant.

21:47

This is clearly the philosophy, the tradition of a man in oneness Pentecostalism who's been taught this from his youth.

21:54

Taking that tradition and imposing it on the text that has nothing whatsoever to do with the point that he's making.

22:02

He's somehow taking the threeness of three persons.

22:08

Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. And somehow making this giant leap over to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit to negate the latter.

22:19

He says that the former are not persons. Which the text in no way indicates that Elijah doesn't have a body.

22:28

And even if that were the case, that's not the flow of the text making that point at all. I mean this is just absolutely the tradition of men.

22:37

Philosophy imposing itself on the text. This is why it's easy to rant against seminary school.

22:44

It's easy to rant against seminary school. You know what seminary is? It's where young men go and obviously there's tons of horrible seminary schools like Harvard and Princeton and Union where they pray to plants and stuff like that.

23:00

But a young man who goes and works full -time to pay his own way through seminary to learn the

23:07

Greek and to learn to exegete and the whole idea of hermeneutics to translate the scripture and to interpret the scripture as intended by the author.

23:18

This is not a bad thing to learn. But if you have nothing but visions of grandeur as a 15 year old boy and you never take the time to learn how to exegete scripture, you have nothing but tradition to stand on.

23:34

You may call yourself bible only. Just give me bible. Just give me bible. Give me.

23:40

You can say that till you're blue in the face. But unless you allow the bible to speak in the language that it speaks, you're not listening.

23:50

You're imposing your tradition upon it. Matthew 17 is not an anti -trinitarian rant.

23:57

This is an anti -trinitarian rant imposed on Matthew 17. It doesn't prove anything.

24:03

It's not exegesis. They saw no man save Jesus only.

24:12

We should only worship the Christ alone. That's right.

24:20

That's right. And I'm sad. I'm sad today.

24:30

That's my disposition. As I look at that crowd of people who they don't know that the wool is being pulled over their eyes.

24:39

They don't know that a wolf in sheep's clothing is teaching contrary to the scripture the plain meaning of words of language in the bible.

24:49

And because of the theatrics, because of the style, it sounds right.

24:56

But Proverbs 18 17 says one man seems right until another comes and examines him.

25:04

There's nothing in this text indicating oneness theology. This is the tradition of Sibelius and before him

25:11

Paul of Samasota and Michael Servetus. People like this pop up throughout history.

25:18

It happens again and again. And then their movement dies out. Iglesia Ni Cristo in the Philippines, La Luz Mundo in Mexico.

25:26

Again and again. And really this was a liberal movement. This is how Harvard was taken over by Unitarians who turned against the

25:33

Trinity because they didn't believe the bible. The simple language of the text is being rejected.

25:40

But because of the theatrics, because it's persuasive in terms of how it's presented, the passion, the drama, people are amening and there's a sincerity in that.

25:52

There's people there who want the Bible. That's why I'm sad. Because the people who are being led astray often don't know better.

26:01

They don't read the text in the original language. They don't understand that this teacher who's supposed to have been studied in the scripture is shooting from the hip.

26:12

Based on visions that he's had, illusions of grandeur, the idea that he himself would be this great prophet and restorer to the original.

26:23

But really he is reinventing the same modalistic monarchianism that has happened again and again throughout church history.

26:33

And it's really sad. So even the

26:41

Holy Ghost, the everlasting God, he denounced it.

26:49

That's right. He spoke against it. This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.

26:54

The power of God spoke from heaven. That's right. The manifestation of Elohim was made.

27:02

That's right. Elohim spoke. Elohim was standing up and Elohim illuminated the body of the

27:14

Son of Man. That's right. Are you listening? That's right. And pointed everything to Jesus.

27:23

Jesus only. This is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased. What shall we do?

27:28

Hear ye him. And when they looked up they saw no man saved. Jesus only. Jesus only. Jesus only vis -a -vis

27:36

Elijah Moses. Jesus is the one to focus on. Yes, amen. He's the representation, the exact representation of the nature of the

27:46

Father, of the hypostasis of the Father in Hebrews 1 -3. That's not an argument.

27:53

We're not arguing that Jesus is not the focus only. We love Jesus. The problem here is you're denying the distinction between the eternal

28:02

Son, the eternal Father, and the eternal Spirit. You're collapsing that distinction into a monad.

28:11

And that's not just bad theology, that's damnable heresy. 1

28:16

John 2, 1 John 4, it's another Christ not acknowledging that Jesus has come in the flesh, meaning he pre -existed his incarnation and took on flesh, adding humanity to his eternal deity.

28:34

Jesus only. Amen. That's what we are. We're Jesus only. That's right. We're Jesus only.

28:46

Matthew 28 -19, and then first epistle of John chapter 5.

28:53

That's right. Viewers, again I said when I was in Johannesburg, South Africa last month,

29:02

God gave us a mighty victory. In two days we baptized 192 souls. In the name of Jesus Christ, so many men and women came to me and said...

29:17

We're going to get this bragging about how many people are baptized, but listen, this has been the history of the church.

29:23

Missionaries like Hiram Bingham go to Hawaii when 5 ,000 converts.

29:30

The queen denounces Pele, throws idols into the the volcano. Well, what happens next?

29:37

Within the next 20 or 30 years, Mormon missionaries show up. They begin to baptize from amongst the

29:44

Trinitarians. William Carey goes to India. Adoniram Judson, I think, goes to China.

29:50

So many different missionaries go in with the Trinitarian gospel, and then in the wake of the

29:56

Trinitarian gospel carried by people who lay down their lives for the gospel.

30:02

Martyrs often. You'll have rank heretics who come in, anti -Trinitarian

30:08

Gnostics preaching some secret knowledge that's higher and greater, but it's not.

30:14

It's a deception, and they pick off from the weak among the flock. Those who are not trained in theology, they steal from the flock.

30:21

They're wolves introducing heresy within the flock. The Trinitarian mission goes first, and then along comes a liar.

30:29

This is what's happening. Sadly, you have Geno Jennings show up in a town and pick off from the apostolic churches and churches there people who are looking for something more than they're receiving, and they're vulnerable because snakes like Jakes and Joel Osteen and prosperity teachers are not feeding their soul the truth of the word.

30:51

They're watering down the gospel. Well, it makes them vulnerable. The sheep are vulnerable to someone coming in.

30:57

It's not hard to show up in a town and grab a hundred and some people from amongst the edges of the flock.

31:04

It's not impressive. That's not a big deal. You can go do that all day. We're going to itemize this, and I'm going to show you why you've been lied to.

31:34

That's right. All right. Matthew chapter 28 and at verse 19. Listen. Go ye therefore and teach all nations.

31:40

Yes. Baptizing them in the name of the father and of the son and of the holy ghost.

31:46

You said that's the trinity, and you said that's three persons.

31:53

Right. Look how you lie. Listen to what the bible says. Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the father.

32:01

Who? In the name of the father. Let's find out who is the father. Give me Malachi.

32:06

Malachi chapter 2 and at verse 10. I want to take it section by section.

32:12

That's right. Piece by piece. Yes. Malachi chapter 2 and verse 10. Have we not all one father?

32:19

Have we not all three persons that make up one father? Have we not all one father?

32:25

Have we not all three persons that make up one father? Have we not all one father?

32:31

The bible is talking here. Have we not all? The prophets are testifying here. That's right.

32:36

And you bear in mind that testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

32:41

That's right. Have we not all one father? Has not one God. What? Has not one

32:46

God created us? Wait a minute. How many made us? One God created us.

32:53

Now you Trinitarians, you quote Genesis 1 26. Let us make man in our image after our likeness.

33:01

And you said God was talking to his son Jesus and talking to the third person, the

33:06

Holy Ghost, and all three collaborated together to make Adam. That's right. That's right.

33:13

Because being scripturally illiterate, you thought us would mean more than one

33:21

God. That's right. But he just read how many made us. Have we not all one father?

33:27

That includes Adam. That's right. All one father. You better not tell me Adam had more than one father.

33:32

That's right. I was talking to a fella out of Chicago who supposedly came to Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

33:39

He called me up and said he wanted to debate me on Jesus Christ being God. I said don't do it.

33:45

I said don't do it. Watch the telecast some more. He said but I know the

33:50

Bible. I said I'm very happy for you but don't come. Don't come and do it. I told him don't do this to yourself.

33:58

He went as far as telling me there's two fathers. He said God is a father.

34:05

Jesus is a father. I said how many saviors we got? He said we got two saviors. Jesus is a savior and God is a savior.

34:13

I said all right then who is Christ? He said Christ is the last name of Jesus.

34:21

This is what happened when you get bad revelation. Bad revelation accompanied with bad teaching.

34:31

The Bible speaks plain. Have we not all one father? One. Hath not one

34:37

God? One. One. Oh we take God away.

34:42

In these last days we got to make this one strong. Even David got one stone.

34:53

One. He may have gathered more than one but to do the job he got one.

34:59

One smooth stone loaded in the sling. Why was the stone smooth?

35:05

Because the one stone represent one God. Being a smooth stone mean the stone had no flaws showing you that the one

35:14

God is flawless and in the midst of him being flawless that one

35:20

God has the power to bring down the head of everything. Are you listening?

35:28

Now you said the father is the first person in the

35:35

God head and this is your scripture that you use. Hebrews 1 and 3. Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 3.

35:42

Follow me. I want to talk to you a little. We want to take our time and educate you three person folk.

35:47

That's right. You three person folk. You preach it. You sing it.

35:54

Holy holy holy Lord God almighty. God in three persons.

36:00

Blessed Trinity. You know when the choir was singing last night and it sounded good and then when they got to that part holy holy holy

36:07

Lord God almighty. Or they changed the words totally. They had to throw that lie out.

36:14

I remember my son came to me. You are not only changing the words totally.

36:22

You are changing the tune totally. That is not the tune. The melody.

36:28

Listen. Here's the issue. There are indications in the actual text of scripture that the person of Jesus is distinct from the father and this is what you have to deal with.

36:45

For all the dancing from one scripture to another like a pogo stick from Matthew 28 19 to Malachi to Genesis 1 26.

36:54

Now you're on to a great hymn and butchering that. Just deal with the facts of the scripture.

37:02

Deal with Hebrews 1 2. The fact that the world was made through not just a logic or concept but through the huyas, through the son.

37:11

Deal with the actual text. We don't want to hear you bounce around and emote. We want to hear actual exegesis of the scripture.

37:20

Here's some points. One. Christ refers to God as someone other than himself. How do you deal with that over and over again in the scripture?

37:30

Number two. Christ prays to God. Can you deal with that?

37:37

How do you answer that? Why is it that Christ prays to God? Number three.

37:44

Christ commends his spirit to God when he dies. Number four.

37:50

Christ is addressed and acted upon by God. Number five.

37:57

He says, I and the Father are one. Indicating that he's identified with the

38:03

Father. But in that very verse, John 10 30, I believe it is. There's an and.

38:11

There's a kai. That he and his Father. There is a distinction in that very verse.

38:17

Are one. There's a plural verb because there's two subjects there.

38:23

I and kai, my Father, are, plural verb, one. So deal with the diversity within the persons of God.

38:33

We know that there's only one God. That's why we're Trinitarians. Because there's only one

38:41

God. But deal with the actual text. He said, you gotta change that.

38:47

I said, well, when you change it, I don't even want it to sound like the word Trinity. And when they change it, it came out all right.

38:56

Let you know that God is our Savior. All right, I want you

39:01

Trinitarian fakers to get this. Yes, I'm talking to your pastor. I'm talking to your priest.

39:07

I'm talking to your pope. I'm talking to all of you. But he's not willing to debate this pastor.

39:14

He has refused this debate because he's scared. Now on the internet, people,

39:20

I'm glad he won't won't debate you. Why waste your time? Listen, I'm not saying that that he should debate me.

39:28

If he doesn't want to debate me, how about debate somebody that's more worthy of the great apostle, prophet, overseer,

39:35

Geno Jennings. And I at first suggested Voti Bacchum. Well, you're scared to debate him because you're suggesting

39:41

Voti Bacchum. No, I'm not. That's why I've been challenging this debate. Dan Thompson is the one who went silent and refused to even answer emails.

39:50

So I just made a video on December 11th. Here I am again. I'm willing to actually debate with the rules of debate.

39:57

Ordinary rules. Each person has an introduction. Each person has rebuttals.

40:03

Equal time. Without theatrics. Without drama. The text of the Bible will be the arbiter of truth.

40:11

If you don't want to debate me because I'm just a small fish, why waste your time? Then how about you debate

40:16

Jordan Hall? How about that? I would like to see that. That would be really fun too. That's been sold on the trinitary lie.

40:27

That's right. That's in Hebrews chapter 1 and at verse 3. Follow me. Who being the brightness of his glory.

40:33

Now, begin at verse 1. At verse 1. God in sun -dry times. And in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers.

40:40

Hold it. God in sun -dry times and in divers manners. Many manners.

40:47

Many ways. Did what? Spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophet.

40:52

And hath in these last days spoken unto us by his son. Now, spoken to us by his son.

40:59

Spoken to us by Jesus Christ. That's right. Whom he has appointed heir of all things. Now, he appointed

41:05

Jesus to be heir of all things. Hold it. He inherited God's name. He inherited

41:11

God's authority. He inherited God's power. Until the son of man declared all things the father have are mine.

41:19

He inherited God's name. He obtained a more excellent name than the angels.

41:24

The Bible said all power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

41:32

He inherited. He inherited. He inherited his power. When he lay hands on you, eyes come open.

41:39

He inherited his power. He walked on water. He inherited his power.

41:45

The eyes of the blind came open. Do you hear what he said? Whom he hath appointed heir of all things.

41:51

Whom he hath appointed heir of everything. By whom also he made the world. By whom also he made the world.

41:57

Who being the brightness of his glory. Still talking about the son of man. The son of man was the brightness.

42:04

Of his glory. Of God's glory. He was the clear manifestation of God.

42:12

He was the express image of God. Listen. Who being the brightness of his glory.

42:18

The brightness of his glory. And the express image of his person. Now you out of ignorance said that meant

42:26

God was the person. It was not. The son of God was the express image.

42:32

And this is the word you overlook. His. His. His person. His person. Now the question is who is

42:39

God's person? That's right. Who is

42:45

God's person? His person.

42:51

There's a person that's been owed. His person. Me the person belong to God.

43:00

That's right. Give me John. Saint John chapter 3. Verse 16. God so loved the world.

43:06

That he gave his. That he gave his. Only begotten son. His what? His only begotten son.

43:12

His son was his person. His person. His person was his.

43:20

Alright. This is not a hard thing. Viewer.

43:27

This is your responsibility. Not to get worked up in emotion, but to go to the text of the

43:36

Bible. In Hebrews chapter 1 verse 3.

43:44

Gino just said that the word person there. His person is referring to the son.

43:52

That is incoherent. That is a logical linguistic absurdity.

44:00

It's nonsense. He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.

44:07

The son is the exact imprint. The character of his hypostasis.

44:13

His nature. Whose nature? Of the nature that he represents. The father's nature.

44:19

You can't just turn that around and say that his. Well in the King James it says his person. So I guess all that Gino has access to is the

44:27

King James and has gotten confused by that, but hasn't gone to the Greek hypostasis or hypostasias or his nature as we have here in the

44:35

ESV. Ridiculous. Do not follow this teacher,

44:41

Gino Jennings. Do not follow him. He is lying to you. Go to the text of the Bible in Hebrews 1 3.

44:49

What is the author of Hebrews, whoever that author is, what is he saying? Because these are the inspired words of God.

44:56

He, Jesus, is the radiance of the glory of God. Of Theos.

45:02

Jesus is the radiance of God. And the exact imprint or representation or character in the

45:10

Greek of his nature. Whose nature? Of God's nature.

45:17

That's the flow of the text. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

45:22

This is what Jesus does. What has he done? He's made purification for sins and then sat down at the right hand of the father after accomplishing that work of redemption.

45:31

Psalm 110 verse 1. If you believe the word of God, you have an obligation to study.

45:45

Not to get worked up by the emotional pleadings of a mere man because you will be led astray.

45:52

You have the Act 1711 responsibility to read the actual words of God and interpret rightly.

45:58

Rightly divide. He is the radiance of the glory of God.

46:04

The exact imprint of his nature. And he upholds the universe by the word of his power.

46:12

Jesus is the exact representation, imprint, character of the father's nature.

46:22

It's Trinitarian theology. That's the truth of God.

46:28

Do not believe any liar, no matter how dramatic, how theatrical. Do not believe someone who twists the very words of scripture.

46:39

This is an objective fact. What do these words refer to in Hebrews 1 -3? The Lamb of God.

47:06

God Father was in the person.

47:12

God came in the person of Christ Jesus. God was not the person.

47:22

The Son of God was the person. God was in the person and the

47:28

Holy Ghost filled the person. That's right. God was in Christ Jesus reconciling the world to himself.

47:36

There's a fundamental confusion in Geno's mind about person. He thinks that person has to be a human person rather than an acting subject, a subject acted upon.

47:49

He has that in his mind as a presupposition, a philosophical traditional presupposition, and therefore he can't understand.

47:57

But the actual accomplishment of redemption requires that the Father gives the

48:03

Son, that the Son as the mediator between God and man be in the hypostatic union, fully

48:11

God and fully man. And there is an intercommunication of the attributes of his deity and his humanity in that one person.

48:22

There's only one person, Jesus Christ. In that one person, there are two natures and both are absolutely essential for our salvation.

48:31

And this must be not a mixing of the persons. There must be a full 100 % divine nature and there must be a full 100 % human nature in this one person.

48:46

That's what's called the hypostatic union, which I'm sure Jennings thinks, because it's a theological word, makes it nonsense.

48:54

In truth, his ranting is nonsense. These are biblical teachings that are the very essence of the message of Hebrews.

49:01

When you get into the sacrifice that's made, Jesus must mediate between a holy

49:06

God and sinful men. So becoming fully man, joining his humanity and his deity together.

49:14

First of all, he had deity, he added humanity without mixing 100%, without losing any of each.

49:20

He's fully God and fully man. He can stand in the gap and reconcile men like us to the

49:28

Father. And without that, you have lost the gospel. You don't have a mediator.

49:56

Liar! You can get worked up, you can be dramatic, but the

50:07

Holy Spirit is a person. You can grieve the Holy Spirit. You grieve a person.

50:14

That's the activity of a person, to be grieved. He has emotion.

50:20

He is described as a person with the personal pronouns. When you're sending another counselor from the

50:28

Father and from the Son, this other counselor is a person. He has all the attributes of personhood.

51:11

That's not a compound word.

51:32

To collapse the Father and the Spirit into the same person is to ignore the teaching of John 14 to 16.

51:40

The Spirit is sent from the Father. So what of that language? Why don't you ever address that?

51:47

Why won't you debate to actually look at the text of Scripture and Proverbs 18, 17, be examined on these things?

51:58

Ghost, which is spirit, is the nature of God. So if Jesus of Nazareth was filled with the

52:08

Holy Ghost, you're going to tell me he was filled with a person? The Bible says in the second chapter of Acts, on the day of Pentecost, when the day of Pentecost was fully come, there was always one accord in one place.

52:24

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven. Suddenly there came a sound. The language of filling,

52:29

Ephesians 5, 18, has to do with control. The Spirit fills us.

52:38

He controls us. He indwells us. It doesn't mean that he's a liquid that fills a bottle.

52:44

He's not just a power or essence or energy that emanates from God. He is a person.

52:50

And to be self -controlled is to be spirit -controlled. As a matter of fact, let's just wind this down.

52:57

I have one more clip to show you. And this is some raw footage. We're told the fruit of the

53:03

Spirit is self -control. And I want you to go to 1 Corinthians 14, verse 20 and following.

53:10

Read that passage as you're watching this. 1

54:31

Corinthians 14, verse 20 and following. Brothers, do not be children in your thinking.

54:39

Be infants in evil, but in your thinking, be mature. In the law it is written, by people of strange tongues and by the lips of foreigners,

54:49

I will speak to this people. And even then they will not listen to me, says the Lord. Thus, tongues are a sign not for believers, but for unbelievers.

55:01

While prophecy is a sign not for unbelievers, but for believers. If therefore the whole church comes together and all speak in tongues, and outsiders or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are out of your minds?

55:15

But if all prophesy, and unbeliever or outsider enters, he is convicted by all, he is called to account by all.

55:22

The secrets of his heart are disclosed. And so, falling on his face, he will worship God and declare that God is really among you.

55:30

What then, brothers, when you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation.

55:37

Let all things be done for building up. If any speak in a tongue, let there be only two, or at most three, and each in turn, and let someone interpret.

55:49

But if there is no one to interpret, let each of them keep silent in the church, and speak to himself and to God.

55:58

Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others weigh what is said. For revelation is made to another sitting there, let the first be silent.

56:06

For you can all prophesy one by one, so that all may learn and be encouraged.

56:12

And the spirit of prophets are subject to prophets. For God is not a God of confusion, but of peace.

56:18

As in all the churches of the saints, the women should keep silent in the churches, for they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the law also says.

56:27

If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home, for it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

56:34

Or was it from you that the word of God came? Or are you the only ones it has reached?

56:40

If anyone thinks that he is a prophet or spiritual, he should acknowledge that the things I am writing to you are a command of the

56:48

Lord. If anyone does not recognize this, he is not recognized. These men do not recognize the authority of the

57:01

Apostle Paul. And that authority is derivative from the Holy Spirit, according to 2

57:07

Timothy 3 .16. All of their writings, their actual graphe, their actual writing is theanusta, it is

57:14

God -breathed. It is the very word of God. These men are not obeying 1

57:21

Corinthians 14. People babbling, that is not speaking in tongues by the way, babbling like that, jumping around without an interpretation, in chaos, confusion.

57:31

God is not the author of confusion. The truth of God's word stands. And do not be deceived by theatrics, dramatic teaching, people who tout themselves as a prophet, and go on and on, puffed up about visions that they have, and illusions of grandeur.

57:54

Trust in the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe in the Trinity, because the Bible teaches the Trinity. It teaches that there is only one

58:01

God, one being, one essence of God. It also teaches that there are three who are

58:07

God. Three, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Each of these is co -equal and co -eternal.

58:14

This is the clear teaching of Scripture. Each of the persons of the Trinity are identified as God.

58:19

Jesus in John 1 .1, Jesus in His I Am statements throughout the book of John, He claims deity, claims to be the way, the truth, and the life.

58:30

The Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 5 is identified as God. When Ananias and Sapphira lied to the

58:38

Holy Spirit a couple verses later, they lied to God. The Holy Spirit is God. He's also personal, addressed with personal pronouns, sent forth with personal pronouns, and capable of being grieved.

58:52

In so many ways, the Bible reveals each person of the Trinity. There is distinction between them because the language of the text introduces that distinction.

59:03

The way Paul introduces his letter, so many of them, from the God and Father of our

59:09

Lord Jesus Christ. There would be Greek language after Jesus now has ascended to the right hand of the

59:15

Father, if the Apostle meant to teach that the Father is

59:20

Jesus, there would be language to say and to speak of this collapsed

59:26

Monad. He could have done that. Instead, he introduces with distinction

59:31

God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is a very important teaching.

59:37

To dismiss the distinctions between the persons of the Trinity is to dismiss the eternality of the

59:45

Son, that the Son has always existed. And Jesus walked through the

59:51

Old Testament on the walk to Emmaus with two disciples, and their hearts burned as he showed them that he has always been the eternal

01:00:02

Son of God. To deny that is heretical, and it's dangerous.

01:00:08

It's damnable. So, if you have been influenced by this teaching, repent. God is not the author of confusion.

01:00:15

It's his Word and his Word alone that you can trust. It is not the personality and the theatrics of mere men.

01:00:23

So, believe in the Word of God. Trust as God reveals himself to be the
