    Revelation 4 - The Great and Wonderful Heavenly Cerimony

    A comment about the Throne of God and the Great Celestial Ceremony to deliver the sealed book with seven seals to JESUS, and the opening of them. My concern with all readers is the manifestation of God's Truth. There is a very interesting detail about the sealed book:If nobody could even look at the book, how could any open the scroll and break its seven seals?

    Well, the ascension of JESUS into heaven -the third heaven -happened after the ending of the 4th Day and beginning of the fifth Day, or around year 33AD. What did happen really after the ascension of JESUS to the heaven (the 3rd heaven), exactly in the beginning of the fifth Day?

    ASCENSION OF JESUS-A RESERVED PLACE HAD BEEN PREPARED FOR HIM TO SIT-A THRONE WAS SET IN HEAVEN

    Getting to the heaven, First He -JESUS- sit down at the right hand of the Father. The Father had prepared a Great Ceremony in Heaven. God's work had not finished here, God the Father had yet two more days of work to complete His works of six days.DETAIL:JESUS came in the end of the fourth Day, or around two thousand years ago, and He had said here:My Father works hitherto, I also work- John 5:v.17.Now, or, in the current time, time of Apocalypse, we can say God finished His works of six days, and has just entered in His rest as He had planned since the beginning.

    GOD'S PLAN WAS TO DELIVER A SECRET BOOK SEALED WITH SEVEN SEALS TO JESUS-A GREAT HEAVENLY CEREMONY WAS PREPARED FOR THIS WONDERFUL EVENT

    Revelation chap.4 is a description of the opening of the Great Ceremony in Heaven,actually the third Heaven, and the chap. 4 also describes the things that had inside the celestial environment, including the sealed book or secret God's book, and a multitude was there in the Great Heavenly Ceremony, that is the heavenly environment of the third heaven, which is also the heavenly environment of the Kingdom of God or of the next world- Luke 20:35-36.Check it out

    Brother David, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    There is MORE TRUTH than asking God to help you choose to do what glorifies Him. The Spirit CAUSES you to ask.

    You DIED on the cross with Christ, you were RAISED a new creation; IN CHRIST, at His Resurrection.

    Jesus is now living his LIFE in you, CAUSING you to continue being created in HIS IMAGE.

    Ezekiel 36:24 And I WILL take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

    Ezekiel 36:25 Then WILL I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye SHALL BE CLEAN: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, WILL I cleanse you.

    Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also WILL I GIVE you, and a new spirit WILL I PUT within you: and I WILL TAKE AWAY the stony heart out of your flesh, and I WILL GIVE you and heart of flesh.

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I WILL PUT my spirit WITHIN YOU, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statues, and ye shall keep my judgements, AND DO THEM.

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God that WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and TO DO of his good pleasure.

    Ephesians 1:5 ....according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL..

    Ephesians 1:11 In whom we have obtained an inheritance (sons of God), being predestinated according to the PURPOSE OF HIM who WORKETH all things after the counsel of HIS WILL.

    Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but also to suffer for him.

    Of ourselves we can do NOTHING.

    1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doeth NOT COMMIT SIN (because Christ is doing EVERYTHING) (we SIN because we try to put OUR WORKS with this TRUTH); for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

    This is why Jesus never SINNED. He walked in the TRUTH that the Father did all things FOR HIM.

    John 8:28 ...and that I do nothing of myself...

    John 5:30 I can of myself do nothing ....

    John 3:27 ...A man receive nothing, except it be GIVEN HIM from heaven.

    Repent. You're on dangerous ground.

    The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

    Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

    Isaiah 6:8

    Romans 1:20

    Colossians 2:9

    Acts 17:27-30

    1 John 5:7

    John 10:30

    "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

    Genesis 1:1

    The Father purposes

    The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

    The Spirit (Holy Spirit) performs the spoken word. Action.

    God is spirit. The Holy Spirit is spirit.

    Jesus is Son of Man.

    Anything that is not Truth__is a LIE. We know who the Father of Lies is (Satan).

    Lie is the name of a demon. Reading this is going to seriously disturb "it". If you tolerate its presence, it will let others come inside too. Matthew 12

    You need to get on YouTube and watch THE AUTHORITY of the believer in Jesus Christ. All of them.

    You need to say, The Blood of Jesus has made me whiter than snow. Isaiah 1:18.

    Fight this. Rid your house of any contamination: books, alcoholic drink, pharmaceuticals, the Holy Spirit will show you.

    No,not Google script,you lie.My point is the Holy Scriptures,not your conjectures and false interpretations of the Word of GOD as posted.I have nothing to do with your counterfeit of the Word of GOD,much less to have to comment on your devilish lies.

    To let readers know,here's quoted part of my post you replyed:

    Richard You are wrong.Rev.7 reveals the number of FAITHFUL Israelites who will be saved,they are the prophetic remnant of the 12 tribes of Israel,they will be saved from imminent dangers.As it is written in the Word of GOD,all Jews who do not have the seal of GOD on their foreheads will be grievously tormented,and their torment will be like the torment of the scorpion when it hurts man.

    Furthermore,GOD will punish severely the unfaithful Jews, God will send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie:believe in him whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish-2Ts.2-because they received not the love of the Truth,that they might be saved,so they all might be damned who believed not the truth-BELIEVED NOT IN JESUS-but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

    Yeah, except the sealed and faithful 144K,everyone else will believe in the esoteric,and kabbalistic,and spiritist messiah,a false messiah,"Who will oppose and exalt himself above all that is called GOD,or that is worshipped;so that he as God will sit in the temple of GOD, shewing himself that he is God"-2Ts.2.

    The prophetic message of JESUS will fulfil LITERALLY. John 5:43-47:

    43 I am come in my Father's name,and ye receive me not: if ANOTHER shall come in his own name(AN IMPOSTOR,A FALSE MESSIAH,A DECEIVER MESSIAH),him ye will receive.

    Chapter 7 reveals the number of FAITHFUL Israelites who will be saved, in fact they are the prophetic remnant of the 12 tribes of Israel, they will be saved from imminent dangers. As it is written, all Jews who do not have the seal of GOD on their foreheads will be grievously tormented, and their torment will be like the torment of the scorpion when it hurts man.

    Hi Gaudencio. What you wrote, "We believed GOD is all knowing with infinite knowledge", is indeed the very Truth that all of life on Earth is hinged upon. Since He knows the beginning from the end, with Whom there is no beginning nor end, then He must see all of His creation (including mankind & his behaviour) in that complete perspective. So what we maybe ignorant of by asking, 'why did God allow this or that, or couldn't He have prevented something from happening', is immaterial when one already sees the complete picture. We could never see it, but God has & planned for it.

    If God then created mankind to enjoy His Presence & live in a sin-free condition (as in Genesis chapters 1 & 2), it should be normal to expect God to engineer man's affairs in such a way to bring about the same sin-free, God-glorifying state which man had lost at the first (as in Revelation chapters 21 & 22). The fact that we sinned was not a surprise to God - just as the institution of the sacrificial system & finally sending His ultimate Sacrifice for mankind, was no sudden last-minute decision. God knows, that if His Love is so great & is unfathomable by us, then it has never been in His Mind to annihilate us, but to preserve us to an holy, eternal life in His Presence. What we lost to the Devil, we have now gained in Christ Jesus.

    Yet, the mystery of the Gospel still has to go out, that lost, erring souls might be saved & be made new by God's Spirit. For if they still reject God's Provision & spurn His Love to be restored to a perfect state (fully at that last day), then only God's judgement & rejection awaits them ( Revelation 20:15). So why were Adam & Eve tested? That they might know that after they had disobeyed God, that there is still a God of Love in Heaven Who has the capacity to continue to love & provide for them. And that Love, as all love, requires a response to be made complete.

    What I know is that GOD is from Eternity to Eternity, He has not beginning, neither ending. JESUS is the

    beginning, and the ending. In fact, there was an Eternity in the heavenly environment of Eden, countless

    millenniums, it could have been billions of years, where inhabited a multitude of angels ruled by a Cherub.

    We know that there was a rebellion in the garden of God, the garden of Eden, and after the rebellion there

    was a great changing in the primitive nature, a transformation in the nature of all things here on Earth.

    After the rebellion the time did run away, and God planned to do a RESTORATION of all things, whose things

    God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began as it is revealed in Acts 3:v.21.

    There was a gap of around 500 years, a half of millennium, time between the fall of angels to the beginning

    of God's work according Genesis 1-the first Day-, at the evening and the morning were the first Day.



    As we know, God planned to work seven days to reestitution of all things in six Days and to rest in the seventh

    Day, but one Day with the Lord is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one Day. Now let us see, JESUS

    came in the fourth Day or around year 4.000, or in the TURN from the fourth to the fifth Day of God's works

    -the Word is God. JESUS said: My Father worketh hitherto (fourth Day or year 4.000), and I work- John 5:v.17.

    An interesting detail is that God revealed Genesis unto Moses, i.e. His plan of restoration of all things after

    two Days and half of work, it was about 2.500 years. Although the Devil has usurped God's creation since Eden,

    God still provided a seed for Himself according to His Plan of Restoration of all things. Cain had killed Abel,

    so God gave birth to Seth and from this seed a parallel generation was formed- Genesis 5:v.1-32,Check it out-

    face to face to the rebels of Eden, these were completely corrupted in a millennium of rebellious-Gen.6:v.1-12, God

    sent the Flood.
  • Adam - In Reply on John 5:26 - 4 years ago
    Hello, this is a common question, but I think includes a false assumption.

    It sounds like the question is if God is all knowing He should already know all outcomes and what's the point of everything, like life and our 'choices'?

    I think what is wrong with this question is we assume God is a certain way and if it doesn't comform to our narrow understanding then we think something must be wrong.

    Here's another way to look at the question: If God is all powerful, doesn't He have the power to let us have choices? If God is all powerful, can't He choose to let things unfold on our timeline and to not need to see into the future for all outcomes?

    The Bible gives examples of God changing His mind. It's in the Bible, so either we believe the Bible or not, right?

    Exodus 32:14

    Jonah 3:10

    Genesis 6:6

    I've also heard people say things like: if God is all powerful, can't He choose to limit Himself? And if He can, then He's not all powerful, and if he can't, then He's not all powerful. I seriously heard an atheist say this claiming it 'disproves' God, but it's just another human logical fallacy. God is God and He is not confined or limited by our silly little logical shortcomings. We are the ones limited in understanding. 1 Corinthians 1:25
  • Ronald L Whittemore - In Reply on John 5:26 - 4 years ago
    GAUDENCIO

    Should we believe God created Adam and Eve not knowing what was going to happen? Many say it was free will they had a choice. If that, do we imply God is not in control. The first Adam was a figure of him that was to come. ( Romans 5:14) A shadow indeed! There are two Adams in the Bible The first Adam was made a living soul (being) the last Adam a quickening spirit. ( 1 Corinthians 15:44-49)

    "The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven". Here we have Jesus as the second man, we know He was not the second man on earth. 1John.3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.

    Was the first Adams purpose to start humankind or the start of the plan that Jesus, the last Adam finished that Satan could not see. There is very little in the Bible about when Satan rebelled but we know by the book of Job the angels were before this world was created. ( Job 29:3-7)

    I am sure some will disagree but I believe God placed the first Adam to do His will and it was part of God's plan that was before this world was. ( 1 Peter 1:19-20) All humans today are descendants of Adam due to the flood, the eight people on the ark came from Adam.

    God bless,

    Gaudencio, May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Romans 8:20 For the creature was made (CREATED) subject to vanity, NOT WILLINGLY, but by reason of HIM who hath subjected the same in HOPE.

    God wants Sons and Daughters that are like HIM. He gives us and EXPERIENCE of natural life so we will KNOW GOOD AND EVIL.

    Adam and Eve's sin wasn't eating a natural fruit (the tree of THE KNOWLEDGE of good and evil is within us, it's not a natural tree), we were created with a evil heart. With just a little enticement from this heart; that wasn't born of the Spirit, Eve LUSTED.

    God TEST every man to bring him to TRUTH. Without ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING. I am your life.

    The POWER and LIFE of the Father which lives in the SON was given to him by the Father. The Father then sent HIS SON to recreate all his sons and daughters into THE IMAGE OF GOD. Christ DESTROYS our EVIL heart by TRUTH and MERCY and gives us his HEART(SPIRIT). Everything given to him by the Father HE GIVES TO US.

    Man CANNOT BELIEVE this UNTIL:

    Philippians 1:29 For unto YOU IT IS GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but to suffer for his sake

    James 4:3 You ask, and receive not, because you ask amiss, that you might consume it upon you lusts.

    Few ask GOD TO CAUSE THEM TO BELIEVE HIS WORDS.

    Few ask to be GIVEN HIS FAITH.

    Without HIM we CAN DO NOTHING.
  • The Terminal Generation of CHOiCE - In Reply on John 5:26 - 4 years ago
    I had to read Genesis really slow to pick up on more information.

    God made them in His image and likeness. He gave them free will to make choices.

    At that time they were spiritually alive, with soul and flesh. Eve could've obeyed God and Not eat the fruit, but she did anyway (her choice). She gave it to Adam (his choice).

    God had set time in motion when He said, IN BEGINNING. By Genesis 3:15, Adam had lost his mandate by then. That verse shows the mandate had passed onto Jesus at a future time.

    Time and Genealogy had to tick along until Jesus came to earth and was born.

    As 2nd Adam, Jesus fulfilled the mandate on the Cross by dying for the sins of all mankind. He crushed Satan's head (power).

    Satan was a Created Angel; and he has an evil will. He craved Gods glory and still thinks he can win by destroying everything and everyone God loves.

    We still have Free Will. We can choose to follow God and his Son Jesus; or follow Satan; or wander off till we die and must await the Great White Throne Judgment that God will officiate. Everyone at that judgement will understand that they chose (free will) hell, by not choosing anything at all.

    Romans 1, says that we are without excuse by not perceiving the reality of God. We didn't choose God. We made up excuses. Our choices determine our eternal location:

    Heaven or Hell.

    Nowadays, everyone screams for CHOICES. Well God gave us that right. We can choose everything EXCEPT God and find our conscious souls, eternally locked up with an insane creature that Hates God and people who chose nothing and ended locked up with Satan. No paradise, no Abrahams Bosom, just eternal suffering.

    Time is almost up. Matthew 24 is coming to life. We see the signs everywhere. Pestilence means Pandemic, in 2021. Memorize those SIGNS.

    There's a link out on the red link page, that says, Become A Christian.

    Time is ticking down to zero. Act on your choice.

    This question has been in my mind for a long time now,

    Here is my question, We believed GOD is all knowing with infinite knowledge. Did GOD know already that our first parents will committed disobedience to GOD before HE tested them? If GOD know from the beginning that EVE and ADAM will fall into the temptation of Satan, why GOD still want to test them? Why GOD did not STOP to test them, even though GOD know already that our first parents will be fall into sin?

    Revelation 20:11-15 depicts the great white throne of Christ Jesus. Not all will be with Christ forevermore.

    God gave us these passages, as well as the one's you gave, to help us all to become "Christians or born again believers" in order that we are able to be with Him forevermore.

    God's desire is that we be with Him forevermore as you brought forth in your discussion. But only through Scripture, His way. 1 Corinthians 15: 1- 4; Romans 10: 9, 10; 1 John 5:10-13

    Greetings in Christ, Wesley Masterson

    From everything you wrote in the first paragraph of your post, the most important is linked with the millennium itself, the other things although they are important too, however they are secondary.

    One of the most important event to happen in the beginning of the millennium is to cast down Satan from this heavenly environment in Christ (where we still are in in the present time) to the earth. Immediately thereafter, cast him into the bottomless pit that he should deceive the nations no more - Revelation 20:v.1-3.

    I think that you and all here know that the Word of GOD reveals that on God's six Days of creation and one Day of rest (a total of seven days) plus the Scriptures that teach that one Day is with the Lord as a thousand years ( Psalm 90:4; II Pet.3:8) so MANKIND would go through six God Days of 1,000 years each (a total of 6,000 years) plus a Millennium of 1,000 years rest (now a total of 7,000 years).

    You and all here know that GOD sent JESUS in the TURN of the fourth Day to the fifth Day, or around 4,000 years after Adam. GOD was still working, as JESUS said: John 5:v.17 - My Father worketh hitherto, and I work. And from JESUS until the current time passad more two days or two thousand years, if we call the Christian calendar we would say that have passad 2,021 years. Therefore, from Adam until today already passad around 6,000 years.

    That said, we must discern and understand that we are already living in the beginning of the seventh and last millennium, the millennium of Christ, or seventh and last Day, the LORD's Day. In other words, we are living in the beginning of the first century of the seventh and last millennium. Honestly, in my vision, we are in the last decade of the Devil's world -2020 to 2030-, the week 70th of Daniel 9:v.27 (7 years) is within of this current decade, the times of the END arrived.

    Brother Forest, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Do you think Christ feels like a ROBOT.

    Do you think his Father feels unloved because he CAUSES Jesus to love him.

    Jesus said HIMSELF; of myself I CAN DO NOTHING. ( John 5:30) ( John 18:28)

    Jesus said HIMSELF; ye (man) can do NOTHING YOURSELF ( John 15:5)

    Philippians 2:13 For it is God who WORKETH in you BOTH TO WILL and DO of HIS GOOD PLEASURE.

    We make thousands of choices each day; but every choice has a CAUSE that made us make that choice, and that CAUSE is God.

    God CANNOT be Sovereign and man have FREE WILL.

    Ephesians 1:11 ...being predestined (everything is chosen for you) according to the PURPOSE of HIM (GOD) who WORKETH ALL THINGS after the counsel of HIS WILL.

    FREE WILL is the wisdom of this world that God calls FOOLISHNESS.

    It is really easy to rest IN CHRIST when you BELIEVE HIS WORDS.

    Ephesians 1:10 That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together IN ONE ALL THINGS IN CHRIST, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth, IN HIM.

    You said: "They are three in one, not three different persons."

    See, what prevails is the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD.

    1 John 5:v. 7 - There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father (GOD, the Father), the Word (the Word made flesh-JESUS), and the Holy Spirit (who is not a ghost as is written in English language), but a Person - the Comforter): and these three are One.

    JESUS said: I and my Father are One- John 10:v.30. Two distincts Persons, but both are One.

    Concerning the Person of the Holy Spirit (he is not a ghost as is written in English language), JESUS said: John 16:v.12-15: - 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.

    13 Howbeit when HE, the Spirit of truth, is come, HE will guide you into all truth: for HE shall not speak of Himself; but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: and He will shew you things to come.

    14 He shall glorify me: for He shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that He shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

    Matthew 11:v.27 - No man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son,

    and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.

    Hi Denise Rucker-Henry

    Remember: The letter KILLETH, but the Spirit giveth life. 2Cor.3:v.6

    And more: It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are Spirit,

    and they are life. John 6:v.63

    By the way, There are three that bear record in heaven (heaven? Ephesians 1:v.3), the Father, the Word, and the Holy

    Spirit: and these three are One. 1 John 5:v.7

    The"Day" in Genesis 1:5(1:4+1:5)[14th Day and 15thDay of Passover] is capitalized.The word "Day",is a noun.When a noun is capitalized,it becomes a personalized noun.This"Day" is an Personalized Day.This is God's Personalized Day.It is "that Day".It is The Day of The Lord. Genesis 1:3 is not talking about day (as in sunlight),but,rather,the commission of the Gospel,to be sent("there"[Let there(the waters Rev.17:15)be light.The evening and the morning of the Day of the Lord is bumped up into every day of our lives(2cor.6:2[selfsame day]),that we may "know therefore this day(Day),and consider it in our heart".It's really ALL about JESUS!!!!!!+!See these verses(from KJV study bible). [ Gen 1:2;IS 40:13; Rom 11:34; Jer 23:18; Jer 23:22; Jer 25:5;IS 55:6; 2Cor 6:2]Also,[ Gen 1:1; John 1:1; 1John 5:20; John 17:3; 1Cor 11:4; Deut 4:35; Deut 4:39]Would you like to know more?

    Hello,

    If you believe the Bible where it says the "three are one" then, the answer is yes.

    1 John 5:7 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

    Here's other supporting scripture too:

    Genesis 1:26

    John 11:6-7

    John 10:30

    John 8:19

    John 1:1

    Philippians 2:5 - 2:8

    2 Corinthians 5:19

    John 1:3

    1 John 5:7

    Matthew 28:19

    1 Peter 1:2

    2 Corinthians 13:14

    Deuteronomy 6:4

    John 14:10

    John 20:28

    1 John 5:8

    1 John 2:22-24

    Link

    Beware of creative people who will try to either disregard or 'reinterpret' all the above scripture in attempt to get it to mean something else. In searching our conscience, deep down we already know what "the father and I are one" and the "three are one" means. We should all ask God directly for wisdom in understanding the scriptures and to reveal and confirm His truths to us, so we aren't deceived or mislead by false teachers. James 1:5. 1 Timothy 4:1-2.

    Brother John,

    You state that the only sin is unbelief! Jesus never said that. There are many sins, and christians along with believing in Jesus Christ - WE must also strive to be free from sin!

    It sounds to me that you are saying as long as we believe in Jesus Christ we can continue to sin with no repercussions....

    Why would Jesus say in the following verses "sin no more"?

    John 8:11

    "She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more."

    John 5:14

    "Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him, Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee."

    This is "very powerful" scripture telling us that we must strive to be SIN FREE. Yes, we are imperfect, and we will sin and fall short, but when we do we must still pray for forgiveness and strive to change and walk in Christ.

    It's not easy to get into heaven and this verse confirms:

    Matthew 7:14

    "Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it."

    As Christians we CANNOT ignore the above scripture, or we will only be fooling ourselves......

    God bless

    Isaiah 53:5-6 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

    All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

    1 Peter 2:24 Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

    1 John 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him.

    1 John 5:11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.

    Praise and Glory to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! For ever!! Amen.

    I don't see any confusion to be had, I believe the bible lays out the Trinity (diety of God) quite plain, also as in 2 Peter it also plainly states, 2 Peter 1:21 "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

    Mark 10:15 "Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein."

    1 John 5:7-8 "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." 8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."

    John 1:14 "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

    John 14:26 "But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."
