The Oneness of God! (Please read!)
Posted at 06:40 PM on April 2, 2008 by HolyJedi
Holy Greetings! in the name of the Lord Most High who is Jesus Christ. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. This bulletin is titled, "The Oneness of God" which is a simple yet profound term in our world today. For most people whom are seemingly religious or profess to be serving God most High have not understood what the oneness of God is. Therefore, most have leaned unto their own understanding to create, teach, and preach their own belief of what the oneness of God means. And they end up promoting and teaching heresy which is a work of the flesh that will cause one to end up in the lake of fire for all eternity. One such concept called the doctrine of the trinity has been commonly promoted in many churches across the planet. The doctrine of the trinity affirms that there exist one true and living God whom subsists or consists of three distinct (separate) persons whom are co-equal in power and authority, co-eternal, and...

Marquest Burton: Greetings! in the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Jack Barnes: Quoting you) " I do believe that Jesus is God most High and as I mentioned above I do not believe and scripture affirms this that the Son of God was not God but simply a man whom the Father which is Jesus dwelt inside." Question: what is your biblical justification for making a distinction between "Jesus"--who is God, you admit--and the man we commonly refer to as "Jesus Christ" who appeared 2000 years ago? You seem to see these as two entities, not one. Cite verses to that effect please. I haven't found such a distinction in the last 38 years. My Bible includes a Person calling Himself the Son of Man (who you say isn't God) accepting worship as God, assuming for Himself roles only God has (judge of the world, etc), and accomplishing things only God can. You can assert that the Man Himself wasn't really God, just the "Jesus" inside Him was; but you are engaged in flights of theological fancy no responsible professor of NT embraces, nor does the Bible. I could decide the Holy Spirit is another name for the archangel Michael, or that president Bush is Elijah reincarnated, but it would be no more justified than your creative assertions. If "Jesus" and the "Son of God" aren't the same, which one died for you? Which one is coming again? Which is "with us until the end of the age"? You have a hard case to make, friend.
Marquest Burton: Thank you for your concern and thought provoking questions! However, there is scripturally justification for drawing a distinction between the Son of God/Son of Man and the Most High God. For the holy apostles drew such a distinction realizing that Jesus Christ functioned from two simulaneous roles or modes. Let me give you scripture to prove my point.
Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle separated unto the gospel of God (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the holy scriptures) Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh And declared to be the Son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness by the resurrection from dead (Romans 1:1-4)
And it is written again in the sacred and infalliable word of God most High
God is faithful by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. (Galatians 1:9)
And it is written again in the holy word of the Most High God:
Blessed be God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort (II Corinthians 1:3)
And it is written again in the inspired and sacred word of God most High Almighty
I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. (Philippians 3:14)
And it is written again in the holy scriptures of Jesus Christ who is God most High
We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ praying always for you. (Colossians 1:3)
And it is written again in the holy scriptures of God most High
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men the man Christ Jesus (I Timothy 2:5)
And it is written again in the holy scriptures of God most High
Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: (II Timothy 2:8)
And there are plenty of over verses in the holy scriptures that affim a distinction between the Son of God/Son of Man and the Most High God Almighty or the Humanity and Supreme Deity of our Lord Jesus Christ. So it is scriptural for us (the people of the name and the one true church of this present generation) to draw a distinction between Jesus Christ's humanity and Supreme Deity. We must come to realize that it is not an affimation or agreement with trinitarians or other polytheists to cite and affirm a distinction between the Son of God and God most High. For it is wholly scripturally and a true representation of the doctrine of the Most High God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Any other questions? Comments? Or concerns?
May God most High bless and keep and guide you unto all truth that you may be perfected.
In the name of the Lord Most High who is Jesus Christ. Amen.
Marquest Burton

Marquest Burton: Greetings! in the name of the Lord Most High who is Jesus Christ. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Robbie Pence: Hello MB, I noticed you criticize those who allow 'their women' to worship with their heads uncovered. Maybe criticize isn't the right word, but forgive me for lack of another. Simply put, Our Lord Jesus did not come to earth to set a block of petty rules- he came to change the heart. This rule concerning women is man-made. In my studies of the culture of the Holy Land, I found that the Chosen People set their own laws 9man-made) above Our Lord's repeatedly. They did what is called 'wall around wall' rules to make sure they stayed within the original Law set by God through the Prophets. If you have proof against this, please provide chapter and verse. Feel free to send me a ,message. PS: I noticed you haven't responded to the message about the Trinity yet. I also am curious to see your replies to that. PPS: Also, provide chapter and verse against wedding rings.
Marquest Burton: Why certainly I will show definitively from scripture my point. For women being commanded to have or worship God with their heads covered, and the prohibition of wedding rings or any rings of that matter is wholly scripturaly and must be recognized as a direct command of the Most High God in order for us to earn the right to enter the kingdom of the Most High God and Saviour Jesus Christ.
First! Women being commanded to worship with their heads covered in and outside of the temple of God.
Be ye followers of me even as I also am of Christ. Now I praise you brethren that ye remember me in all things and keep the ordinances as I delivered them to you. But I would have you know that the head of every man is Christ and the head of the woman is the man and the head of Christ is God. Every man praying or prophesying having his head covered dishonoureth his head. But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven. (I Corinthians 11:1-5)
My dear sir! Paul first stated that we (the one true church of the Lord Jesus of this present generation) are to follow him (a God sent messenger of the Lord Jesus) as he follows Christ Jesus who is the Lord God Almighty. But it not only applies to the Honoruable Minister Paul of Tarsus but it also applies to all other subsequent ministers whom shall be sent out into the world to proclaim the glorious and pure good news of the kingdom of the Most High God. If you notice verse 3 of chapter 11 of I Corinthians--the divine order of God:
First God
Second the Son of God/Son of Man (being that he took Adam's place as the representative of the human race)
Third Man and then
Fourth Woman
And plainly Paul of Tarsus said that when a man pray or prophesy (speak a word that will come to pass or preach and teach the gospel) with his head covered then he dishonours his head which is not only the Son of Man but also God most High. Therefore, the man ought not cover his head when he is worshipping God most High. And then he declares that the woman whose head is the man ought not have her head covered when she worship God because man is her head.
I hope that God grant you understanding in all things concerning this subject.
Next is rings or more more particularly any rings.
In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their thinkling ornaments about their feet and their cauls and their round tires like the moon the chains and the bracelets and the mufflers and the bonnets and the ornaments of the legs and the headbands and the tablets and the earrings the rings and nose jewels apparel and the mantles and the wimples and the crisping pins the glasses and the fine linen and the hoods and the veils. (isaiah 3:18:24)
Therefore, that is the scriptural support for my condemnation and God's condemnation of wearing wedding rings and/or any rings for that matter. I pray that God most High grant you understanding in all things. In the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High. Amen.
Shortly, I will respond to your post concerning the trinity because I have not been on Godtube.come for a while due to the fact that my friend and co-worker has been in a car accident. Please pray that God's grace and power will be with her and that he will use this situation to lead her unto acceptance of the Lord Jesus as her Lord and Saviour. Her name is Jessica Broyal.
Peace be unto you!

Brother Mark Burton: Greetings! in the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
ausnacht: Greeting in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ! This is in response to your post to the Ergun Caner video. You seem like you love the word so I wanted to share a few things with you. Concerning the trinity: As I'm sure you know trinity is not a term within the bible however it is a biblical concept.
Brother Mark Burton: Thank you for you response to my post but I wholeheartedly disagree with your affirmation of the doctrine of the trintiy. I firmly and passionately reject the doctrine of the trinity as heretical and totally foreign to the truth of the holy scriptures. (The apostle's and prophets even the Lord Jesus the Son of God most High did not teach the doctrine of the trinty. Therefore, the doctrine of the trintiy is a combination of philosophical speculation intergrated with scriptrual concepts which makes it inspired of Satan himself and deems all followers and believers in this doctrine as unbelievers in the one true God who is Jesus Christ.)
ausnacht: For instance in your greeting you use the title "Jesus Christ" to this the scripture also uses the Lord Jesus Christ. Lord speaks of positional authority and the Father. Jesus speaks of the Son. and Christ speaks of the anointing or the Holy Spirit.
Brother Mark Burton: Incorrect! Lord and Christ refers to Jesus as the one true God of all creation not some secondary deity that exists in the heavenlies whom is called God alongside a deity known as Father, and Holy Ghost. Truly, truly, you are not taught of God concerning the truth of the oneness of God most High.
ausnacht: Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit are all referred to as God within the bible.
Brother Mark Burton: Incorrect: The son of God is not referred to as God but as a man whom God was temporarily in to manifest his character, power, wisdom through unto the world--that an example could be left to those whom come on the scene after the Son goes away. When the scriptures declares that Jesus is God it is referring to the eternal Spirit that existed in that body of flesh and blood; Father and Holy Spirit/Ghost are designations that refer to the divine nature of Jesus Christ. Whereas Son refer to the humanity of Jesus Christ; ye trinitarians do not have an understanding as to how Jesus Christ could be both Father and Son at the same time. So, ye concieve on your own accord a doctrine non-existant in the holy scriptures even in the mind of God most High.
ausnacht: I believe I have heard you refer to Jesus and the Father as God but not the Holy Spirit. A scriptural proof for this is Act 5:3 But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Act 5:9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. Furthermore if you will study the word you will find that it says that Jesus raise himself from the dead, the Father raised Jesus from the dead, and the Holy Spirit raised Jesus from the dead. Concerning Christianity: They were first called Christians at Corinth. Furthermore Paul sought to convert to Christianity: Act 26:28 Then Agrippa said unto Paul, Almost thou persuadest me to be a Christian. Act 26:29 And Paul said, I would to God, that not only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were both almost, and altogether such as I am, except these bonds. There have been many evil things and many false teachings under the term Christianity however just because someone uses the term incorrectly does not mean we do away with it. There have been many men that referred to themselves as Jesus, yet you and I continue to use that term. I didn't post this to enter into a debate with you my friend. I posted this to give you something to research and pray about. I hope that you will study to show yourself approved. Farewell in the love of almighty God, Deac. Aaron MDiv.
Brother Mark Burton: Again, I do believe that Jesus is God most High and as I mentioned above I do not believe and scripture affirms this that the Son of God was not God but simply a man whom the Father which is Jesus dwelt inside. The holy Ghost is a designation of the divine nature of Jesus Christ never is Holy Ghost associated with humanity.
To recap I totally reject the doctrine of the trintiy which states that one God eternally exists or subsits in or as three distinct (separate) persons. Whom (refers to the three persons Father, Son, Holy Ghost) are co-equal in power and authority, co-eternal and con-substantial. I firmly and passionately denounce the trinity doctrine as false and will continue to do so all the way up to the coming of the Lord Jesus himself--for I have truly come to know the Lord Jesus as the one true God of all creation and not some second person in a trinity.
I do pray that God opens thine understanding and gives you mercy to accept the truth of God and renounce the lie of Satan that authored this lie called trinity.
Peace be unto thee!
Thine in the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High,
Brother Mark Burton

Brother Mark Burton: Greetings! in the name of the Lord Jesus who is God most High. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
Quitarsticks33: He was talking about clothes an ornaments of jewlery that makes us think we are better than someone else, and also the hoods and veils are metaphors for the "veil of sin" . If I was to go by your line of thinking then i would not even be able to wear a wedding band.
Brother Mark Burton: Yes! the wedding band is foribidden by God most High for his church to wear because a wedding band does not make a man faithful unto his wife. And the wedding band does not make a woman faithful unto her husband. But faithfulness comes from one location--that is from the heart. Therefore, I will pray that God most High will convict thine heart concerning the wearing of jewelry--particarlly rings.
Quitarsticks33: That verse is simply saying that our clothes and jewelry should not be what sells us, there is nothing wrong with them. Even women in the bible wore jewelry, Jacob's wife wore earings, david's wife wore earings. And it was also customary for the men to wear rings to represent standing, or belief. And my ring is not a source of pride, however it has been a great witnessing tool because I have had people at my work and people who aren't saved in my own family ask about my ring and I can tell them that it means I am respecting God by choosing to wait.
Brother Mark Burton: Incorrect! the scripture in Isaiah straightly forbids the wearing of ear rings, rings, and other forms of jewerly. Therefore, I will pray that God most High will convict thine heart concerning the wearing of rings--particarly the wearing of a ring.
Peace be unto thee!

And my ring is not a source of pride, however it has been a great witnessing tool because I have had people at my work and people who aren't saved in my own family ask about my ring and I can tell them that it means I am respecting God by choosing to wait. |

my ring is not a form of pride or anything that you siad, it is a symbol of what I stand for and what i will do concerning relationships with the opposite %!!. the ring was a gift from my parents on my 16th b-day, it is no symbol of pride, my pride is unrelative to my ring. |
