    Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian:

    JOHN 1:1-2 - LEARN THE FACTS:

    Many emotionally diehard Trinitarians point to how John 1:1 is erroneously worded in many Bibles as, "In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God,and the Word was God." (American Standard Version; ASV), and neglect to look at

    John 1:2 in those same Bibles which says, "The same was in the beginning with God." (ASV); Clearly showing two distinct individuals. Moreover the overlook John1:14 in those same Bibles which says, "And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father),full of grace and truth." (ASV) which clearly shows his as the only begotten ofhis Father, Almighty God (YHWH) in harmony with 1 John 4:9, "Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him." (ASV) once more clearly showing them as twodistinct individuals, one superior to the other and sending the subordinate, hisSon, to be among mankind.

    The next problem for Trinitarians is the salient fact that no matter how you ana

    lyze or translate John 1:1 you only get two individuals or as they falsely claimmanifestations of one individual, which makes NO Trinity or group of three, neither of individuals and/or manifestations; my, my, so much for John 1:1 provinga trinity. It does not do this even with the biased translations of Trinitarians; moreover, there are more accurate ways of translating John 1:1 such as the way the New English Bible whose translators had access to older manuscripts thatdid the translators of the King James Bible, the Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible, and the American Standard Bible. In the New English Bible, John 1:1 reads, "Whenall things began, the Word already was. The word dwelt with God, and what Godwas, the Word was." (The New English Bible; NEB). In fact, the NEB renders John 1:2, "The Word, then, was with God at the beginning, and through him all things came to be;" (NEB), and the fact that his Father (YHWH) after creating him used Jesus (Yeshua) as his master worker is revealed at Proverbs 8:22-30 about Jesu

    s (Yeshua) being brought forth and being his Father's (YHWH's) master workman, "Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old. 23 Iwas set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was. 24 Whenthere were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water. 25 Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth; 26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor thebeginning of the dust of the world. 27 When he established the heavens, I wasthere: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep, 28 When he made firm theskies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong, 29 When he gave tothe sea its bounds, That the waters should not transgress his commandments, Whenhe marked out the foundations of the earth; 30 Then I was by him, as a masterworkman; And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him." (ASV); And J

    esus' (Yeshua's)existence before the earth was is affirmed at John 8:58, "Jesussaid unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was born, I am."(ASV); Thus as Colossians 1:17 says, ""and he is before all things, and in him all things consist." (ASV); And at Revelation 3:14, "And to the angel of the church is Laodicea write: 'These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God:" (ASV), Jesus (Yeshua) is once more shown as the first of creation. Clearly, then, he, Jesus (Yeshua) is neither the same individual and/or manifestation of the same individual; Nor co-eternal, norco-equal with his Father (YHWH).

    All this in strict compliance with the Jewish Law of Agencies which is basicallyas follows, "Jesus (Yeshua) was God's (YHWH's) appointed agent in accordance with the 'Biblical law of agency' described as, "Scripture mentions something bein

    g done by Person A, whilst another mentions it being done by Person B. This is best understood when we grasp the Schaliach Principle, or the Jewish Law of Agency, which is expressed in the dictum, "A person's agent is regarded as the person

    2/23

    himself." Therefore any act committed by a duly appointed agent is regarded ashaving been committed by the principle." (The Encyclopedia of the Jewish Religion, R.J.Z. Werblowski and Geoffrey Wigoder). And 1 Timothy 2:5 says, "For thereis one God, one mediator also between God and men, [himself] man, Christ Jesus,"(ASV). This is why Jesus (Yeshua) could say, John 16:23, "And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name."(ASV).

    This fact is further affirmed at Ephesians 1:20-23 which shows that his Father (YHWH) raised him from the dead and put him at his right hand to administer all for him, "Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, 21 Far above all principality,and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come; 22 And hath put all things underhis feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fullness of him that filleth all in all." (ASV); This fact, thathis Father (YHWH) placed him over all things except himself, a superior one, is

    highlighted at 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, "But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of them that are asleep. 21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; then they that are Christ's, at his coming. 24 Then [cometh] theend, when he shall deliver up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all rule and all authority and power. 25 For he must reign, till he hath put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last enemy that shall be abolished is death. 27 For, He put all things in subjection under his feet. But when he saith, All things are put in subjection, it is evident that he is exceptedwho did subject all things unto him. 28 And when all things have been subjectedunto him, then shall the Son also himself be subjected to him that did subjectall things unto him, that God may be all in all." (ASV). This will bring the f

    ulfillment foretold at Isaiah 45:23, "By myself have I sworn, the word is gone forth from my mouth [in] righteousness, and shall not return, that unto me everyknee shall bow, every tongue shall swear." (ASV). This scripture shows that God(YHWH) will bring the earth back to perfection, i.e., a place where everyone will love their creator, Almighty God (YHWH), and his chief agent or mediator of life, Jesus (Yeshua) Christ, and their neighbor, and he, God (YHWH) will once more be using his Son, the Son of God, Jesus (Yeshua) as his master worker to accomplish this as shown by 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, previously quoted.

    Now when we look at other constructs or translations of John 1:1 the fact that John 1:1 can NOT even support a Duality let alone a Trinity becomes even more readily apparent.Let's look at the 10 possible constructs of John 1:1 that do NOT violate any rule of Koine Greek grammar with the exception of the fact is that THEOS (=God) isa count noun, not a mass noun or an adjective. As a count noun it MUST BE countable, i.e. either definite or indefinite (i.e. either "a god" or "the God") fortwo of the constructs:

    "and a god was the Logos." [example of Bible using, Das Evangelium nach Johannes, by Jurgen Becker Harwood, 1979]

    "the nature of the Word was the same as the nature of God" [example of Bible using, Schonfield, 1976]

    "The Word dwelt with God, and what God was, the word was." [example of Bi

    "And the word was a god" [example of Bible using, The New Testament in An Improved Version, Upon the Basis of Achbishop Newcome's New Translation: With a Corrected Text.]

    "and the Word was divine" [example of Bible using, The Bible: An AmericanTranslation, by J.M.P. Smith and E.J. Goodspeed. }

    "and the Word was God" [example of Bible using, American Standard Version,ASV] [note, this construct violates the count noun rule of Koine Greek and is the common biased rendering of this scripture]

    "He was the same as God" example of Bible using, Today's English Version.]

    "the Logos was divine" [example of Bible using, The New Testament: A NewTranslation, by James Moffat]

    "r war bei Gott und in allem Gott gleich"[He was with God and in all like God] [example of Bible using, Haenchen (tr. By R. Funk), 1982]

    "Gott (von Art) war der Logos" [God (of Kind/kind) was the Logos/logos] [example of Bible using, Die Bibel in heutigem Deutsch, 1980]

    As we can see, here are ten different constructs possible without violating anyrule of Koine Greek grammar except the count Noun rule. So, now, let's look atwhat follows in context in general format at John 1:2:

    "The Word, then, was with God at the beginning," (The New English Bible, NEB)

    "The same was in the beginning with God." (American Standard Version, ASB)

    "The same was in the beginning with God." (Authorized King James Bible; AV)

    "He was in the beginning with God." (Revised Standard Version; RSV)

    "He was in the beginning with God." (The Confraternity Edition of the New Testament - Catholic)

    As is easily seen, John 1:2 is substantially the same in all translations. However, in context it does not harmonize with some of the constructs used which donot violate any rule of Koine Greek grammar with the exception of the count Noun rule to be explained later.

    However clearly some of the ten (10) or more basic constructs agree in context with John 1:2 and some do NOT. Let's look at the point where some do not agreeor harmonize with the context of John 1:2:

    John 1:2 plainly says that the Word, or Logos, who is Jesus (Yeshua) was with God in the beginning which would be impossible if Jesus (Yeshua) was Almighty God(YHWH) himself. This rules out constructs 6, 7, and 10, represented below, asimpossible as they do NOT harmonize with context.

    "and the Word was God" [example of Bible using, American Standard Version,ASV] [note, this construct violates the count noun rule of Koine Greek]

    "He was the same as God" example of Bible using, Today's English Version.]

    4/23

    And two of these constructs do violate the count Noun rule of Koine Greek; to wit, constructs 6 and 7.

    Now exactly what is the count Noun rule of Koine Greek? It is as follows:

    The fact is that THEOS (=God) is a count noun, not a mass noun or an adjective.

    As a count noun it MUST BE countable, i.e. either definite or indefinite (i.e.either "a god" or "the God"). The trinitarian argument hinges on stripping THEOSof its count-ability, so that it is purely qualitative. However, if a noun is PURELY qualitative, it is not a count noun. An adjective or a mass noun may fit their requirement for emphasizing qualitativness only, but a count noun MUST BE countable, for that is what *count* means when describing a count noun. If he accepts this rather elementary rule of English grammar, you can demonstrate that, as a count noun, THEOS may be translated either "the Word was God" (="the Word was The God", which is Sabellianism), or "the Word was a god". Since orthodox trinitarians reject "the Word was The God" (=Sabellianism), they are left with "theWord was a god" -- that is, if they remain true to English syntax (and English syntax is what ENGLISH translations are supposed to follow!). If one argues the p

    oint, let them provide an example of a non-countable *count noun* that is not used in a contrary-to-fact situation, such as a metaphor. I have yet to find anyone, trinitarian or otherwise, who is able to meet this challenge. Rolf Furuli, one of the two best living Koine Greek scholars, discusses this in his book, THE ROLE OF THEOLOGY AND BIAS IN BIBLE TRANSLATION, as does Greg Stafford, in his, JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES DEFENDED: AN ANSWER TO SCHOLARS AND CRITICS. There are also some very good posts by Wes Williams on greektheology that discuss this issue.

    "To preserve in English the different nuance of theos [god] with and without thearticle, some (Moffat) would translate 'The Word was divine.'"

    Notice a literal translation of John 1:1,2:

    "In the beginning was the world and the word was toward the god and god was theword. This (one) was in beginning toward the god."

    In these two verses we see six nouns, three referring to the Greek word logos (word, which most recognize to be Jesus - Yeshua) and three referring to the Greekword theos (god). We notice each reference to logos (word) is preceded by the definite article "the", while two of the three times the word theos (god) occurs,it too is preceded by the definite article "the". For some reason, John does not provide the definite article with theos when it is associated with "The Word".We thus see two definite individuals mentioned in this verse. "The Word", Jesus(Yeshua) Christ, and "The God", who is Almighty God Jehovah (YHWH). John does not say "The Word" is "The God". (In fact, most Trinitarian scholars would arguethat if John had said the word was "ho theos" (The God), it would amount to sabellianism (the belief that Jesus is both the Father and the Son). As such, it iscommonly agreed upon that John was not identifying Jesus (Yeshua) as God (YHWH)but rather, was describing him as deity.) But if John did not say "The Word" is"The God", then what did he mean by saying, "the word was god"?

    In Greek, it is possible for a noun to act as an adjective when it is not accompanied by the definite article. Consider a Biblical example of this in John 6:70."Jesus replied, "Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!"(NIV)

    Here the noun (devil) is not proceeded by the definite article (the). To reflectthis most Bibles place the indefinite article (a) in front of it. Thus, Jesus w

    as not identifying Judas as "THE Devil", he was saying Judas had the qualities of the devil. He was acting like the devil so he was A devil though not THE devil. This example helps us to see how the lack of the definite article can cause a

    5/23

    noun to act as a predication rather than an identification.

    Regarding this point, noted Bible scholar William Barclay writes:

    "When in Greek two nouns are joined by the verb to be and when both have the definite article, then the one is fully identified with the other; but when one ofthem is without the article, it become more an adjective than a noun, and descri

    bes rather the class of the sphere to which the other belongs...

    "John has no definte article before theos, God. The Logos, therefore, is not identified as God or with God; the word theos has become adjectival and describes the sphere to which the logos belongs...

    "This passage then [John 1:1] does not identify the Logos and God; it does not say that Jesus (Yeshua) was God (YHWH), nor does it call him God; but it does saythat in his nature and being he belongs to the same class as God." Or as the New English Bible states, "and what God was, the Word was."

    Mr. Barclay's observations are duly noted in the example we considered with Juda

    s Iscariot being "a devil".

    Now let's consider what the Greek Scholar Jason BeDuhn from the Northern ArizonaUniversity has to say: "The Greek phrase is 'theos en ho logos', which translated word for word is "a god was the word." Greek has only a definite article, like our the, it does not have an indefinite article, like our a or an. If a noun is definite, it has the definite article 'ho'. If a noun is indefinite, no article is used. In the phrase from John 1:1, 'ho logos' is "the word." If it was written simply logos, without the definite article 'ho', we would have to translateit as "a word". So we are not really "inserting" an indefinite article when we translate Greek nouns without the definite article into English, we are simply obeying rules of English grammar that tell us that we cannot say "Snoopy is dog,"but must say "Snoopy is a dog."

    Now in English we simply say "God"; we do not say "The God." But in Greek, whenyou mean to refer to the one supreme God, instead of one of the many other beings that were called "gods," you would have to say "The God": 'ho theos'. Even a monotheistic Christian, who believes there is only one God and no others, would be forced to say in Greek "The God," as John and Paul and the other writers of the New Testament normally do. If you leave off the article in a phrase like John1:1, then you are saying "a god." (There are some exceptions to this rule: Greekhas what are called noun cases, which means the nouns change form depending onhow they are used in a sentence. So, if you want to say "of God," which is 'theou', you don't need the article. But in the nominative case, which is the one inJohn 1:1, you have to have the article.) So what does John mean by saying "the word was a god"? He is classifying Jesus in a specific category of beings. Thereare plants and animals and humans and gods, and so on. By calling the Word "a god," John wants to tell his readers that the Word (which becomes Jesus when it takes flesh) belongs to the divine class of things. Notice the word order: "a godwas the word." We can't say it like this in English, but you can in Greek. The subject can be after the verb and the object before the verb, the opposite of howwe do it in English (subject-verb-object). Research has shown that when ancientGreek writers put a object-noun first in a sentence like John 1:1 (a be-verb sentence: x is y), without the definite article, they are telling us that the subject belongs to the class represented by the object-noun: :"The car is a Volkswagen." In English we would accomplish the same thing by using what we call predicate adjectives. "John is a smart person" = "John is smart." So we would tend to say "The word was divine," rather than "The word was a god." That is how I would

    translate this phrase. "The word was a god" is more literal, and an improvementover "The word was God," but it raises more problems, since to a modern reader it implies polytheism. No one in John's day would have understood the phrase to m

    ean "The word was God" - the language does not convey that sense, and conceptually it is difficult to grasp such an idea, especially since that author has justsaid that the word was with God. Someone is not with himself, he is with some other. John clearly differentiates between God from the Word. The latter becomes flesh and is seen; the former cannot be seen. What is the Word? John says it wasthe agent through whom God made the world. He starts his gospel "In the beginning..." to remind us of Genesis 1. How does God create in Genesis? He speaks words

    that make things come into existence. So the Word is God's creative power and plan and activity. It is not God himself, but it is not really totally separate from God either. It occupies a kind of ambiguous status. That is why a monotheistlike John can get away with calling it "a god" or "divine" without becoming a polytheist. This divine thing does not act on its own, however, does take on a kind of distinct identity, and in becoming flesh brings God's will and plan rightdown face to face with humans.

    All this is in keeping with what John the Baptist is recorded by the Apostle John at John 1:15, "John beareth witness of him, and crieth, saying, This was he ofwhom I said, He that cometh after me is before me: for hi was before me." (ASV).

    A MORE POWERFUL BAPTISM BY MEANS OF JESUS (YESHUA):

    John the Baptist was grilled by some priests, Levites, and Pharisees at John 1:20-34, "'I am not the Messiah.' 'What then? Are you Elijah?' 'No', he replied.'Are you the prophet we await?' He answered 'No.' 'Then who are you?' they

    asked. 'We must give an answer to those who sent us. What account do you giveof yourself?' He answered in the words of the prophet Isaiah: 'I am a voice cryinhg aloud in the wilderness, 'Make the Lord's highway straight.' Some Pharisees who were in deputation asked him, 'If you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, northe prophet, why then are you baptizing?' 'I baptize in water,' John replied,'but among you though you do not know him, stands the one who is to come after me. I am not good enough to unfasten his shoes.' This took place at Bethany bey

    ond Jordan, where John was baptizing. The next day he saw Jesus coming towardshim. 'Look," he said 'there is the Lamb of God; it is he who takes away the sinof the world. This is he of whom I spoke when I said, 'After me a man is coming who takes rank before me'; for before I was born, he already was. I myself did not know who he was; but the very reason why I came, baptizing in water, was that he might be revealed to Israel.' John testified further: 'I saw the Spiritcoming down from heaven like a dove and resting upon him. I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize in water had told me, 'When you see the Spirit coming down upon someone and resting upon him you will know that this is he who is to baptize in Holy Spirit.' I saw it myself, and I have borne witness. This isGod's Chosen One." (NEB). If he had been a part of a Trinity consisting of Father (YHWH), Son (Yeshua), and the Holy Spirit or Spirit the above could NOT haveoccurred since one individual could NOT come down on himself, and the above record would be utter linguistic foolishness; however, it is NOT as this God (YHWH)dishonoring doctrine is the fable or myth of mankind per the warning at 2 Timothy 4:3-4, "For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;4 and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables." (

    ASV); why so? It is due to the activities of Satan the Devil as shown at Corinthians 4:4, ""In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them whichbelieve not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them." (AV); due to their not seeking sound doctrine per Titus 2:1, "But speak thou the things which become sound doctrine:" (Authorized King James Bible; AV).

    Interestingly right after this in John the first chapter, the Apostle John wrotewith respect Simon Peter the following, at John 1:42, "And he brought him to Jesus. And when Jesus beheld him, he said, Thou art Simon the son of Jona: thou s

    7/23

    halt be called Cephas, which is by interpretation, A stone." (AV).

    GOD LOVES HIS SON, JESUS (YESHUA) AND SENT HIM TO EARTH WITH AUTHORITY:

    John the Baptist testified to the fact that Jesus (Yeshua) did NOT come of his own volition, but had been sent by his Father (YHWH) with full authority as shownat 1 Corinthians 15:20-28, previously quoted. At John 3:31 to 36, we see the a

    bsolute truth of this testified to, "He that cometh from above is above all: hethat is of the earth is of the earth, and of the earth he speaketh: he that cometh from heaven is above all. 32 What he hath seen and heard, of that be bearethwitness; and no man receiveth his witness. 33 He that hath received his witness hath set his seal to this that God is true. 34 For his whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for he giveth not the Spirit by measure. 35 The Fatherloveth the Son, and hath given all things into his hand. 36 He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; but he that obeyeth not the Son shall not see life,but the wrath of God abideth on him." (ASV). This scripture reveals two important facts, First, that God (YHWH) loves his son; Second, Almighty God (YHWH) has sent his Son, Jesus (Yeshua) to earth to carry out an assignment and given himthe concomitant authority to be able to do so as shown at 1 Corinthians 15:20-2

    8, previously quoted.

    And at John 4:24-26, "God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.' The woman answered, "I know that Messiah' (that is Christ)'is coming. When he comes he will tell us everything.' Jesus said, 'I am he,I who am speaking to you now." (NEB). Now note, at this time the Son of God (YHWH), Jesus (Yeshua) was on earth as a perfect fleshly man; whereas the scriptureclearly shows, "God is spirit," thus invisible. But Jesus (Yeshua) was flesh and blood and clearly visible at this time; therefore, there is NO way that theycould be one and the same individual unless God (YHWH) is a liar and the Bible clearly shows this is NOT the case at Titus 1:2, "In hope of eternal life, whichGod, who cannot lie, promised before times eternal." (ASV).

    And at John 5:25-26, "In truth, in very truth I tell you, a time is coming, indeed it is already here, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, andall who hear shall come to life. For as the Father has life-giving power in himself, so has the Son, by the Father's gift." (NEB) clearly once more showing all the power and authority Jesus (Yeshua) Christ has were given to him by a superior one, his Father, Almighty God (YHWH); And at John 5:36, "But I rely on a testimony higher than John's. There is enough to testify that the Father has sentme, in the works my Father gave me to do and to finish-the very works I have inhand." (NEB) once more clearly showing that his Father, a superior one, had given him works to do in full compliance with the principles of the Jewish Law of Agencies previously explained as his master worker as shown at Proverbs 8:22-30, previously quoted. And this is affirmed at John 5:37, "This testimony to me wasgiven by the Father who sent me, although you never heard his voice, or saw hisform." (NEB); however, unfortunately the Father's (HYWH's) word through his Sonper John 5:38, "But his word has found no home in you for you do not believe theone whom he sent." (NEB). Likewise, Jesus (Yeshua) stated at John 5:43-44, "Ihave come accredited by my Father, and you have no welcome for me; if another comes self-accredited you will welcome him. How can you have faith so long as youreceive honour from one another, and care nothing for the honour that comes from him who alone is God?" (NEB), once more testifying to two facts, First, Jesus(Yeshua) was both sent by and accredited by his Father (YHWH), and Second, he, Jesus (Yeshua) is a distinct individual separate and apart from his Father (YHWH)who had sent him and accredited him. Just as Jesus (Yeshua) said, John 5:45-47, "Do not imagine that I shall be your accuser at God's tribunal. Your accuseris Moses, the very Moses on whom you have set your hope. If you believed Moses

    you would believe what I tell you, for it was about me that he wrote. But if you do not believe what he wrote, how are you to believe what I say?" (NEB).

    TRUE CHRISTIANS MUST DO THE WORKS OF GOD AS SHOWN BY HIS SON:

    Many read Jesus' (Yeshua's) assignment to his true followers at Matthew 24:14, "And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come." (New International Version; NIV).Now let's see what John 6:28-29, "They said therefore unto him, What must we d

    o, that we may work the works of God? 29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Thi

    s is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent." (ASV); And Jesus (Yeshua) went on to show that his Father (YHWH) was the superior one at John 6:31-33, "Our fathers ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, He gavethem bread out of heaven to eat. 32 Jesus therefore said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, It was not Moses that gave you the bread out of heaven; butmy Father giveth you the true bread out of heaven. 33 For the bread of God isthat which cometh down out of heaven, and giveth life unto the world." (ASV); And at John 6:37, "All that the Father gives me will come to me, and the man who comes to me I will never turn away. I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me." (NEB). Now how much explicit can Jesus (Yeshua) get with respect who sent him and whose will he is doing; thereby, clearly showing neither a Duality or a Trinity exist except as a fable of mankind

    who are being deceived by none other than Satan the Devil as shown at 2 Corinthians 4:4, previously quoted. Jesus (Yeshua) specifically said at John 6:40, "For this is the will of my Father, that every one that beholdeth the Son, and believeth on him, should have eternal life: and I will raise him up at the last day." (ASV), as clearly noted, he was once more showing what the will of his Father(YHWH) is and not his own will; thereby, showing that his Father (YHWH) was thesuperior one and that he, Jesus (Yeshua), was an obedient Son. This same fact is testified to at John 6:45-47, "It is written in the prophets, And they shall all be taught of God. Every one that hath heard from the Father, and hath learned, cometh unto me. 46 Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he that is from God, he hath seen the Father. 47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth hath eternal life." (ASV); And at John 6:57, "As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father; so he that eateth me, he also shall live be

    cause of me." (ASV) once more, here we find Jesus (Yeshua) testifying with respect whom had sent him and showing he was subject to him.

    THE WORLD HATES JESUS (YESHUA) AND THOSE ACCURATELY TEACHING HIM:

    The fact that the world hates Jesus (Yeshua) was testified to by none other thatJesus (Yeshua) at John 7:7, "The world cannot hate you; but it hates me for exposing the wickedness of its ways." (NEB), with this being spoken to his fleshlybrothers [actually half brothers as his father was NOT Joseph, but Almighty God(YHWH) himself] who had not yet become believers in him at John 7:5, "For even his brothers were not believers in him." (NEB). And at John 7:16-18, Jesus (Yeshua) said, "Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, buthis that sent me. 17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether is is of God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him thatsent him, the same is ture, and no unrighteousness is in him." (ASV); once more, here Jesus (Yeshua) is showing he was sent by a superior one and that it was the will and teachings of this superior one that he was making known, and that hewas NOT doing his own will. We should all believe Jesus (Yeshua) that he was sent by Almighty God (YHWh), his father, to do his Father's (YHWH's) will and nothis own since Jesus (Yeshua) is not a liar anymore than is his Father (YHWH).

    The fact that he had NOT come of his own accord is testified to by Jesus (Yeshua) at John 7:28-29, "Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Yeboth know me, and know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that se

    nt me is true, whom ye know not. 29 I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me." (ASV); Now how much clearer can it be that Jesus (Yeshua) was sent by asuperior one, his Father, Almighty God (YHWH). But what did the Jews under con

    trol of the God of this System per 2 Corinthians 4:4, previously quoted, want todo? Let's look at John 7:30, "They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come." (ASV). It is to be noted that at this time the Spirit had not yet been given as shown at John 7:39, "But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive:for the Spirit was not yet given; because Jesus was not yet glorified." (ASV).

    JESUS (YESHUA) IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD AS HIS FATHER (YHWH) HAS GIVEN HIM FULLAUTHORITY ON EARTH AND IN HEAVEN:

    Now Jesus (Yeshua) is shown to be the 'Light of the World' at John 8:12, "Againtherefore Jesus spake unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life. 13The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest witness of theyself; they witness is not true. 14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Even if I bear witness of myself, my witness is true; for I know whence I came, and whither I go; butye know not whence I come, or whither I go. 15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. 16 Yea and if I judge, my judgment is true for I am not alone, but Iand the Father that sent me." (ASV); To this these individuals seeking to do hi

    m harm because they were being misguided by Satan the Devil, he said at John 8:19, "They said therefore unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye knowneither me, nor my Father: if ye knew me, ye would know my Father also." (ASV).And that he was doing his Father's (YHWH's) will and was from his Father (YHWH)they understood not as recorded in John 8:26, "Jesus answered, 'Why should I speak to you at all? I have much to say about you-and in judgment. But he who sent me speaks the truth, and what I heard from him I report to the world.'" (NEB); herewith clearly showing NOT only that he was NOT his Father (YHWH), but had also been taught all he knew by his Father (YHWH). Thus once more showing that he, Jesus (Yeshua) is neither co-eternal NOR co-equal with his Father (YHWH).

    In fact, Jesus (Yeshua) as testified to by himself always, per John 8:28, "So Jesus said to them, 'When you have lifted up the Son of Man you will know that I a

    m what I am. I do nothing on my own authority, but in all that I say, I have been taught by my Father." (NEB). He said to those seeking to kill him, per John8:37-38, "'I know that you are descended from Abraham, but you are bent on killing me because my teaching makes no headway with you. I am revealing in words what I saw in my Father's presence; and you are revealing in action what you learned from your father." (NEB); And at John 8:41, "Ye do the works of your father.They said unto him, We were not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." (ASV); And Jesus (Yeshua) answered them at John 8:42, "Jesus said unto them, If god were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me." (ASV) clearly he was showing that he had been sent by his Father and was doing his Father's (YHWH's) works as his Father's (YHWH's) master worker per Proverbs 8:22-30, as previously quoted, and was definitely a distinct being separate and apart from his Father (YHWH). Jesus (Yeshua) clearly showed that these individuals that were persecutingand harassing him were of the Devil at John 8:44-47, "Ye are of your father thedevil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof. 45 But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46 Which ofyou convicteth me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47 He thatis of God heareth the words of God: for this cause ye hear them not, because yeare not of God." (ASV). These Devil guided individuals answered saying, John 8:48-50, "'Are we not right in saying that you are a Samaritan, and that you arepossessed?' "I am not possessed,' said Jesus; 'the truth is that I am honouringmy Father, but you dishonour me. I do not care about my own glory; there is on

    e who does care, and he is judge." (NEB); And at, John 8:54-55, "Jesus replied,'If I glorify myself, that glory is of mine is worthless. It is the Father whoglorifies me, he of whom you say, 'He is our God', though you do not know him.

  • 8/3/2019 Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian

    10/23

    But I know him; if I said that I did not know him I should be a liar like you.But in truth I know him and obey his word." (NEB); Clearly, once more showing that he, Jesus (Yeshua) was not his Father (YHWH) by saying that, "If I glorify myself, that glory is of mine is worthless. It is the Father who glorifies me," so we can plainly see he is a distinct being apart from his Father (YHWH) and taking directions from his Father (YHWH). This fact is clearly shown by 1 Timothy2:5, "For there is one God: and one mediator of God and men, the man Christ Jesu

    s:" (Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible; DRCB).

    GREATER LOVE HATH NO MAN THAN TO GIVE HIS LIFE IN BEHALF OF OTHERS:

    Jesus (Yeshua) being the 'good shepherd' was willing to and did give his life for others as recorded at John 10:14- "I am the good shepherd; and I know mine own, and mine own know me, 15 even as the Father knoweth me, and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. 16 And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and theyshall become one flock, one shepherd. 17 Therefore doth the Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I may take it again. 18 No one taketh it away from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have powe

    r to take it again. This commandment received I from my Father." (ASV); Once more clearly showing that he was distinct from his Father, Almighty God (YHWH) andmuch loved by him since he was willing to lay his life down on behalf of the 'sheep' [the followers of his Father, Almighty God (YHWH) that he had given to hisSon, Jeusu (Yeshua)].

    As Jesus (Yeshua) himself said at John 10:25-29, "My deeds done in my Father's name are my credentials, but because you are not my sheep of my flock you do notbelieve. I give them eternal life and they shall never perish; no one shall snatch them from my care. My Father who has given them to me is greater than all,and no one can snatch them out of the Father's car." (NEB), clearly here showingthat his Father (YHWH) is greater than himself; And at John 10:30, showing thatboth he and his Father (YHWH) are one in purpose, "I and my Father are one." (A

    SV); And at John 10:32-36, "At this Jesus said to them, 'I have set before you many good deeds, done by my Father's power; for which of these would you stone me? The Jews replied, 'We are not going to stone you for any good deed, but for your blasphemy. You a mere man claim to be a god.' Jesus answered, 'Is it not written in your own Law, 'I said: You are Gods'? Those are called gods to whom the word of God was delivered-and Scripture cannot be set aside. Then why do youcharge me with blasphemy because I, consecrated and sent into the world by theFather, said, 'I am God's son'?" (NEB). Once more showing that he was doing NOThis own will, but that of his Father (YHWH) whom sent him; likewise, we to be acceptable to God (YHWH) must do his will and reject doctrines and fables of mankind originating with Satan the Devil and accept the truthful doctrines originating from God (YHWH). This fact is made clear at John 10:37-38, "If I am not acting as my Father would, do not believe me. But if I am, accept the evidence of my deeds, even if you do not believe me, so that you recognize and know that theFather is in me, and I in the Father." (NEB); That he should be doing the will of his Father is made clear at Colossians 1:15-16, "who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him were all things created,in the heavens and upon the earth, things visible and things invisible, whetherthrones or dominions or principalities or powers; all things have been created through him, and unto him." (ASV). Hence we can see he would be like his Father(YHWH) as his Father (YHWH) created him in his own image and used his as his master worker, for details of the Jewish Law of Agencies and Proverbs 8:22-30 expounding on this, go back to the first part of this Documentary.

    PART 2 OF Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian:

    GOD LISTENS TO HIS SON, JESUS (YESHUA) AND GRANTS WHAT HE ASKS:

  • 8/3/2019 Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian

    11/23

    John the eleventh chapter clearly shows that Almighty God (YHWH) listens to hisSon, the Son of God, Jesus (Yeshua) and grants him what he asks at John 11:21-25, "Martha said to Jesus, 'If you had been here, sir, my brother would not have died. Even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will grant you.' Jesus said, 'Your brother will rise again.' " I know that he will rise again', said Martha, 'at the resurrection on the last day.' Jesus said, 'I am the resurrection

    and I am life." (NEB); And at John 11:27, "She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I have believed that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, even he that cometh into the world." (ASV); Clearly once more testifying to the fact that he is a distinctbeing apart from his Father (YHWH) and that his Father (YHWH) hears him and grants his wishes.

    Then Jesus (Yeshua) prayed to his Father (YHWH) at John 11:41, "So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee thatthou heardest me. 42 And I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of themultitude that standeth around I said it, that they may believe that thou didstsend me." (ASV).

    JESUS' (YESHUA'S) FATHER (YHWH) WILL HONOR WHOEVER SERVES HIM:

    Jesus (Yeshua) clearly stated at John 12:26-28, that anyone serving him would behonored by his Father (YHWY), "If anyone serves me, he must follow me; where Iam, my servant will be. Whoever serves me will be honoured by my Father. Now my soul is in turmoil, and what am I to say? Father, save me from this hour. No, it was for this that I came to this hour. Father, glorify they name.' A voice sounded from heaven: 'I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." (NEB); Now many accepted his as the Messiah, the Son of God, which he truly was, butothers did not as recorded at John 12:39-42, ""For this cause they could not believe, for that Isaiah said again, 40 He hath blinded their eyes and he hardened their hearts; Lest they should see with their eyes, and perceive with their heart, And should turn, And I should heal them. 41 These things said Isaiah, beca

    use he saw his glory; and he spake of him. 42 Nevertheless even of the rulers many believed on him; but because of the Pharisees they did not confess it, leastthey should be put out of the synagogue:" (ASV). Their having ears and not hearing was also confirmed at Matthew 13:14, "And unto them is fulfilled the prophecy of Isaiah, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall in no wise understand; And seeing ye shall see, and shall in no wise perceive:" (ASV). Though many believed on him, Jesus (Yeshua) they said nothing due to fear as testified to at John 7:12-17, "And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerninghim; some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray. 13 Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. 14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught,15 The Jews therefore marveiled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? 16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know ofthe teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself." (ASV); Clearly here Jesus (Yeshua) showed what he taught was NOT from himself, but from hisFather (YHWH) a superior one who had sent him. But the multitude was in fear and spoke not in his defense.

    JESUS' (YESHUA'S) FAREWELL DISCOURSE:

    John 13:1 clearly shows that Jesus (Yeshua) knew the time had come for him to lay his life down in behalf of the 'sheep', "It was before the Passover festival.Jesus knew that his hour had come and he must leave this world and go to the Father. He had always loved his own who were in the world, and now he was to show

    the full extent of his love." (NEB); Clearly he knew his time had arrived and he said, at John 13:20, "In very truth I tell you, he who receives any messangerof mine receives me; receiving me, he receives the One who sent me." (NEB), clea

  • 8/3/2019 Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian

    12/23

    rly showing his followers were one in purpose with him and his Father (YHWH). His giving his life as a human up both as a ransom for his 'sheep', the obedientfrom among mankind who were one in purpose with him and his Father (YHWH), and to glorify his father as stated at John 13:31-35, "When he had gone out Jesus said, 'Now the Son of Man is glorified, and in him God is glorified. If God is glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself; and he will glorify him now. My children, for a little longer I am with you; then you will look for me, an

    d, as I told the Jews, I tell you now, where I am going you cannot come. I giveyou a new commandment: love one another; as I have loved you, so you are to love one another. If there is this love among you, then all will know that you aremy disciples.'" (NEB). This act of permitting himself as a perfect human to bea sacrifice for all of obedient mankind clearly shows that Jesus (Yeshua) not only was an obedient Son, but clearly had perfect love for his creator and Father, Almighty God (YHWH); Likewise, Jesus (Yeshua) showed that he had been createdin the image of his Father (YHWH) as stated at Colossians 1:15, previously quoted. Therefore, as he, Jesus (Yeshua) stated, we should if we are his true followers have love among ourselves.

    In his farewell to his followers, Jesus (Yeshua) stated at John 14:1-2, "'Set yo

    ur troubled hearts at rest. Trust in God always; trust also in me. There are many dwelling-places in my Father's house; if it were not so I should have told you; for I am going there on purpose to prepare a place for you." (NEB); And at John 14:6-16, Jesus (Yeshua) states, "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way and thetruth, and the life: no one cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and haveseen him. 8 Philip saith unto him, Lord show us the Father, and it sufficieth us. 9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou notknow me, Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father? 10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Fatherabidinhg in me doeth his works. 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and theFather in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12 Verily, verily, I

    say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than those shall he do; because I go unto the Father. 13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If ye shall ask anything in my name, that will I do, 15 If yelove me, ye will keep my commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may be with you for ever," (ASV); clearly showing that he was the very image of his Father (YHWH) per Colossians 1:15,previously quoted, and as John 5:19-21 states, "To this charge Jesus replied, 'In truth, in very truth I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he does only what he sees the Father doing: what the Father does, the Son does. For the Father loves the Son and shows him all his works, and will show greater yet to fill you with wonder." (NEB); And at John 14:19 Jesus (Yeshua) states, "Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live,ye shall live also. 20 In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and yein me, and I in you. 21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he itis that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I willlove him, and will manifest myself unto him." (ASV); Clearly showing that all obedient men/women would be in Jesus (Yeshua) and his Father (YHWH) just as theyare in each other, that is in purpose and love.

    This fact is further testified to at john 14:23-24, "Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, andwe will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my words: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's whosent me." (ASV); Once more showing two very important facts, First, that all wh

    o keep his word and love one another are in union or a part of him as he is apart of us per John 14:20, "In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you." Previously quoted above; and Second, Jesus (Yeshua) show

  • 8/3/2019 Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian

    13/23

    s the words that he speaks are not his but those he heard from his Father (YHWH)clearly once more showing he is a being separate and distinct from his Father (YHWH). At John 14:25, he states, "I have told you all this while I am still with you; but your Advocate, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name,will teach you everything, and will call to mind all that I have told you." (NEB); once more clearly showing his Father (YHWH) as the superior and stating thathis Father (YHWH), not himself, would sent an Advocate, the Holy Spirit. And at

    John 14:28, he clearly states that his Father (YHWH) is greater than himself, "Ye heard how I said to you, I go away, and I come unto you. If ye loved me, yewould have rejoiced, because I go unto the Father: for the Father is greater than I." (ASV); And at John 14:31, "but that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave me commandment, even so I do. Arise, let us go hence." (ASV); clearly it can now be seen it is entirely indefensible to argue for aDuality or a Trinity as clearly none exist, but only a Father (YHWH) and a Son,the Son of God, relationship exist as testified above by none other than Jesus(Yeshua) himself-hence the Duality and the Trinity have clearly been shown to beGod (YHWH) dishonoring doctrine.

    JESUS IS THE VINE AND HIS FATHER IS THE GARDENER:

    Clearly Jesus (Yeshua) can be likened to a vine and his Father (YHWH) to a gardener and this fact is shown in scripture at John 15:1-10, "I am the real vine, and my Father is the gardener. Every barren branch of mine he cuts away; and every fruiting branch he cleans, to make it more fruitful still. You have already been cleansed by the word that I spoke to you. Dwell in me, as I in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself, but only if it remains united with the vine; no more can you bear fruit, unless you remain united with me. 'I am the vine, and you the branches. He who dwells in me, as Idwell in him bears much fruit; for apart from me you can do nothing. He who does not dwell in me is thrown away likea withered branch. The withered branches are heaped together, thrown on the fire, and burnt. 'If you dwell in me, and my words dwell in you, ask what you will, and you shall have it. This is my Father's glory, that you may bear fruit in

    plenty and so be my disciples. As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you.Dwell in my love. If you heed my commands, you will dwell in my love, as I ha

    ve heeded my Father's commands and dwell in his love." (NEB); clearly once moreshowing that his Father (YHWH) and himself, Jesus (Yeshua) are separate and distinct beings; however, working with the same purpose in mind, and also one with their followers in this activity.

    Now what is really important and must exist among Jesus' (Yeshua's) followers?John 15:11-14, shows that love is the all important ingredient, "'I have spokenthus to you, so that my joy may be in you, and your joy complete. This is my commandment; love one another, as I have loved you. There is no greater love thanthis, that a man should lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends,if you do what I command you." (NEB).

    He, Jesus (Yeshua) calls us friends because he has disclosed to us everything heheard of his Father (YHWH) as testified to at John 15:15-21, "I call you servants no longer; a servant does not know what his master is about. I have called you friends, because I have disclosed to you everything that I heard from my Father. You did not choose me: I chose you. I appointed you to go on and bear fruit, fruit that shall last: so that the Father may give you all that you ask in myname. This is my commandment to you: love one another." (NEB); Likewise he reveals at John 15:18, that the world would hate his followers, "If the world hatesyou, it hated me first, as you know well. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, because I have chosen you out of the world, for that reason the world hates you. Remember w

    hat I said: 'A servant is not greater that his master.' As they persecuted me,they will persecute you; they will follow your teachings as little as they havefollowed mine. It is on my account that they will treat you thus, because they

  • 8/3/2019 Documentary on the Book of John Being Anti-Trinitarian

    14/23

    do not know the One who sent me." (NEB). And at John 15:24-25, shows they hatewithout reason, "If I had not worked among them and accomplished what no other man has done, they wiould not be guilty of sin; but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. However, this test in their Law had to come true. 'They hated me without reason." (NEB); thus clearly showing the world would despise his true followers without reason. And at John 15:26-27, Jesus (Yeshua) showed he would send the Spirit to comfort his true followers, "But when your Advoca

    te has come, whom I will send you from the Father-the Spirit of truth that issues from the Father-he will bear witness to me. And you also are my witnesses, because you have been with me from the first." (NEB). Clearly he was doing the work of his Father, but his enemies knew not this Father (YHWH) who had sent his as clearly stated as follows, "they will treat you thus, because they do not knowthe One who sent me."

    HIS TRUE FOLLOWERS WILL BE PERSECUTED BECAUSE THEY DO NOT RUN WITH THE WORLDLY SYSTEM:

    Since his followers are to be persecuted per John 16:1-4, "I have told you all this to guard you against the breakdown of your faith. They will ban you from th

    e synagogue; indeed, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will suppose that he is performing a religious duty. They will do these things because they do not know either the Father or me. I have told you all this so that when the time comes for it to happen you may remember amy warning. I did not tell you this first, because then I was with you; but now I am going away to him who sent me." (NEB); Now much clearer could Jesus (Yeshua) be than he had NOT come on his own volition but had been sent by another, a superior, his Father (YHWH), and that in the end times his followers would undergo sever persecution?

    AT John 16:17-18, he reveals to his disciples, "Some of his disciples said to one another, 'What does he mean by this: 'A little while, and you will not see me,and again a little while, and you will see me', and by this: 'Because I am going to my Father'? So they asked, 'What is theis 'little while' that he speaks of

    We do now know what he means.'" (NEB); And at John 16:24, "In very truth I tell you, if you ask the Father for anything in my name, he will give it you. So far you have asked nothing in my name. Ask and you will receive, that your joy may be complete." NEB). He further emphasis this at John 16:25-28, "'Till now Ihave been using figures of speech; a time is coming when I shall no longer use figures, but tell you of the Father in plain words. When that day comes you willmake your request in my name, and I do not say that I shall pray to the Fatherfor you, for the Father loves you himself, because you have loved me and believed that I came from God. I came from the Father and have come into the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going to the Father." (NEB). Here once morehe shows that the Father (YHWH) is distinct from him, and that he is doing hisFather's (YHWH's) work, and that his Father (YHWH) loves his followers. And atJohn 16:31-33, "Jesus answered, 'Do you now believe? Look, the hour is coming,has indeed already come, when you are all to be scattered, each to his home, leaving me alone. Yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. I have toldyou this so that in me you may find peace. In the world you will have trouble.But courage! The victory is mine: I have conquered the world." (NEB); Here heshows that his Father is one in purpose with him, clearly distinguishing the Father (YHWH) and his Son, the Son of God, Jesus (Yeshua) as two distinct and separate individuals.

    THE LONGEST PRAYER BY JESUS (YESHUA) CLEARLY IS ANTI-TRINITARIAN:

    As will be shown the entire prayer found at John 17:1-26 is anti-Trinitarian, this will be done by a 'Sola Scripture,' critical analysis of this entire chapter,

    "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:

    or looks of our Lord, as here. But this was an occasion of which the impressionwas indelible, and the upward look could not be passed over" [ALFORD]. Father,the hour is glorify thy Son--Put honor upon Thy Son, by countenancing, sustaining, and carrying Him through that "hour." (a) At John 17:5, Jesus asks for, "Andnow glorify thou me, O Father, with thyself, with the glory which I had, beforethe world was, with thee." (The Douay-Rheims Bible), "Jesus said to them: Amen,amen, I say to you, before Abraham was made, I AM." ." (John 8:58 The Douay-Rhe

    ims Bible), "If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?" (John 6:62 The Douay-Rheims Bible). As can clearly be seen, Jesus (Jeshua orYHWH saves) had been in heaven with his Father, Almighty God (YHWH) before he came down to earth to prove himself faithful under temptation, and here he was asking his Father (YHWH) for what he had had before in heaven. This clearly showstwo individuals, one a superior being prayed to and a subordinate asking the superior for what he had had before in heaven. (b) ]>

    2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal lifeto as many as thou hast given him.

    3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Je

    sus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

    5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which Ihad with thee before the world was.

    s to show that A PERFECT RECIPROCITY OF SERVICES of the Son to the Father first,and then of the Father to the Son in return, is what our Lord means here to express. with the glory which I had with thee before the world was--when "in thebeginning the Word was with God" (John 1:1), "the only-begotten Son in the bosomof the Father" (John 1:18). With this pre-existent glory, which He veiled on earth, He asks to be reinvested, the design of the veiling being accomplished--not, however, simply as before, but now in our nature. (a) As can clearly be seen,

    Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves) had been in heaven with his Father, Almighty God (YHWH) before he came down to earth to prove himself faithful under temptation, and here he was asking his Father (YHWH) for what he had had before in heaven. This clearly shows two individuals, one a superior being prayed to and a subordinate asking the superior for what he had had before in heaven. (b) ]>

    6 I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world:thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.

    7 Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee.

    8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. [This is also shown at Ephesians 4:12-16, as follo

    ws, "they . . . have known surely that I came out from (a) Here he, the Son, Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves) , mentions that he has given to his followers, "thewords which thou gavest me," and his followers, "and they have received them."Then he, the Son, continues, "and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me," showing that his followers wouldsurely know that they were one is purpose, "12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God,unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried aboutwith every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow upinto him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: 16 From whom the wholebody fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increaseof the body unto the edifying of itself in love." (AV) and Ephesians 3:9-14, "And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is yourglory.14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," (AV)

    . And at, 1 Timothy 2:5, "These clearly show that Almighty God (YHWH) and Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves) although not one in body, are one in purpose, and since the Father has given mankind to the Son for the present time, we should all r

These clearly show that Almighty God (YHWH) and Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves) although not one in body, are one in purpose, and since the Father has given mankind to the Son for the present time, we shouldall recognize the Son as the only mediator between God and mankind, " For thereis one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1 Timothy 2:5 AV).

    former prayer, "Keep them," was "negative," asking protection for them from thepoisonous element which surrounded and pressed upon their renewed nature, so this prayer, "Sanctify them," is positive, asking the advancement and completion oftheir begun sanctification. through--in. thy truth--God's revealed truth, as the medium or element of sanctification; a statement this of immense importance. thy word is truth--(Compare John 15:3, Colossians 1:5, Ephesians 1:13).

    of the genuine disciples of Christ, drawing them to each other as members of onefamily, and prompting them to loving co-operation for the good of the world--this is what, when sufficiently glowing and extended, shall force conviction uponthe world that Christianity is divine. Doubtless, the more that differences among Christians disappear--the more they can agree even in minor matters--the impression upon the world may be expected to be greater. But it is not dependent uponthis; for living and loving oneness in Christ is sometimes more touchingly seen

    even amidst and in spite of minor differences, than where no such differences exist to try the strength of their deeper unity. Yet till this living brotherhoodin Christ shall show itself strong enough to destroy the sectarianism, selfishness, carnality, and apathy that eat out the heart of Christianity in all the visible sections of it, in vain shall we expect the world to be overawed by it. Itis when "the Spirit shall be poured upon us from on high," as a Spirit of truthand love, and upon all parts of the Christian territory alike, melting down differences and heart burnings, kindling astonishment and shame at past unfruitfulness, drawing forth longings of catholic affection, and yearnings over a world lying in wickedness, embodying themselves in palpable forms and active measures--itis then that we may expect the effect here announced to be produced, and then it will be irresistible. Should not Christians ponder these things? Should not th

    e same mind be in them which was also in Christ Jesus about this matter? Shouldnot His prayer be theirs? (a) Here he, the Son, Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves),then he, the Son, continues, " For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me." (John 17:8 AV), showingthat his followers would surely know that they were one is purpose, "12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: 13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature ofthe fulness of Christ: 14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, andcunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ

    : 16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that whichevery joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love." (Ephesians 4:12-16 AV) and "9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of themystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ: 10 To the intent that now unto the principalitiesand powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdomof God, 11 According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our Lord:12 In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith of him. 13Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is yourglory.14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ," (Ephesians 3:9-14 AV). These clearly show that Almighty God (YHWH) and Jesus (Jeshua or YHWH saves) although not one in body, are one in purpose, and since the Father has given mankind to the Son for the present time, we should all recognizethe Son as the only mediator between God and mankind, " For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1 Timothy 2:5 AV).(b) ]>

    22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one,even as we are one:

    21/23

    23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast lovedme.

    24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

    25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me.

    know what I said. 22 And when he had thus spoken, one of the officers which stood by struck Jesus with the palm of his hand, saying, Answerest thou the high priest so? 23 Jesus answered him, If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou me?" (AV). This is the way of evil doers thatcan find no real wrong done by the true followers of God (YHWH) and his Son, Jesus (Yeshua) as affirmed at Acts 25:17-19, Therefore, when they were come hither,without any delay on the morrow I sat on the judgment seat, and commanded the m

    an to be brought forth. 18 Against whom when the accusers stood up, they brought none accusation of such things as I supposed: 19 But had certain questions against him of their own superstitution, and of one Jesus, which was dead, whom Paul affirmed to be alive." (AV); and it is likewise today, clearly showing we areliving in the time of the end.

    Likewise at John 19:11-16, "You would have no authority at all over me', Jesus replied, 'if it had not been granted you from above; and therefore the deeper guilt lies with the man who handed me over to you.' From that moment Pilate triedhard to release him; but the jews kept shouting, 'If you let this man go, you are no friend to Caesar; any man who claims to be a king is defying Caesar." WhenPilate heard what they were saying, he brought Jesus out and took his seat on t

    he tribunal at the place known as 'The Pavement' ('Gabbatha' in the language ofthe Jews). It was the eve of Passover, 'about noon. Pilate said to the Jews, 'Here is your king.' They shouted, 'Away with him! Away with him! Crucify him!''Crucify your king?' said Pilate. 'We have no king but Caesar', the Jews repl

    ied. Then at last, to satisfy them, he handed Jesus over to be crucified." (NEB). Here clearly we can see the spirit of this world prevailing over individualsthat have been misguided by none other than Satan the Devil, just like many that have been deceived today.

    He later, after his resurrection by his Father (YHWH) appeared to his disciplesas stated at John 20:19-23, and told them many things and especially this, "as t

    he Father sent me, so I send you," clearly showing his Father (YHWH) a superiorone had sent him, "Late that Sunday evening, when the disciples were together behind locked doors, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. 'Peace be with you!' he said, and then showed them his hands and his side. So when the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with joy. Jesus repeated, 'Peace bewith you!' and then said, 'As the Father sent me, so I send you.' He then breathed on them, saying, 'Receive the Holy Spirit! If you forgive any man's sins,they stand forgiven; if you pronounce them unforgiven, unforgiven they remain."(NEB)

    He later appeared to the Apostles by the Sea of Tiberias and had breakfast an emphasis the need to feed his 'sheep' at John 21:15-17, "After breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, 'Simon son of John, do you love more than all else?' 'Yes, Lord,' he answered, "you know that I love you.' 'Then feed my lambs', he said.A second time he asked, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' 'Yes, Lord, you know I love you.' 'Then tend my sheep.' A third time he said, 'Simon son of John, do you love me?' Peter was hurt that he asked him a third time, 'Do you loveme?' 'Lord," he said, 'you know everything; you know I love you. Jesus said, 'Feed my sheep.'" (NEB). Clearly we have seen that the book of John is clearly anti-Trinitarian, and if we want to please God (YHWH) we should not believe in fables and myths that the scripture plainly shows at 1 Timothy 4:7 are nothing butold wives tales, "but refuse profane and old wives' fables. And exercise thyself unto godliness;" (ASV).
