<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong><br />
<strong>IS</strong><br />
GOD<br />
(No matter what the Jehovah’s Witnesses’, Mormons, <strong>Christ</strong>adelphians, Muslims etc. tell you!)
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Introduction<br />
I have been meaning to produce a study-booklet proving that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong> <strong>for</strong><br />
some time now: reason being, because the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>’s Deity is under<br />
immense attack in these last days be<strong>for</strong>e He returns. This booklet is written with<br />
those of you in mind who need a clear concise study to give to the cults (Jehovah’s<br />
Witnesses’ et al.) and false religions (Islam et al.) It has been produced at COST so<br />
that you can purchase in quantity <strong>for</strong> distribution. I would suggest posting one to<br />
EVERY house in the surrounding areas of the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Halls,<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>adelphian Halls and Mormon ‘tabernacles’, warning the people about the<br />
teachings of these CULTS! Let us take a stand against these FALSE ‘prophets’ in these<br />
last days… 2 Tim 3v1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.<br />
I also believe the in<strong>for</strong>mation in this study-booklet will give you enough material to<br />
convince these ‘gainsayers’ - Titus 1v9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath<br />
been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince<br />
the gainsayers.<br />
If you love the word of <strong>God</strong> you will find this study a blessing, make sure you check<br />
every reference in your own Bible, and if you have a wide-margin Authorized Version,<br />
I would suggest making some notes!!! (If you don’t have a wide-margin AV Bible I<br />
would highly recommend purchasing one.)<br />
Paul warns us about those who do not teach and preach sound doctrine… 1 Tim 6v3-<br />
5 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the<br />
words of our Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness;<br />
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words,<br />
whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of<br />
corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from<br />
such withdraw thyself.<br />
Those of you who are involved with reaching the lost souls of this world with the<br />
Gospel, already know that there are some people who just will not accept THE<br />
TRUTH no matter how many times you show/prove to them from Scripture; Paul’s<br />
warning to Titus should be taken into consideration when dealing with ‘timewasters’…<br />
Titus 3v10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second<br />
admonition reject;<br />
1
Once you have read this booklet, pass it on! Too many <strong>Christ</strong>ians do NOT stand their<br />
ground in the fight, and very few are active in reaching lost souls and encouraging<br />
the saints; apathy is a disease that is spreading like wildfire throughout the church<br />
today. What we learn, we should pass on to others… 2 Tim 2v2 And the things that<br />
thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful<br />
men, who shall be able to teach others also. Acts 20v20 And how I kept back<br />
nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you<br />
publickly, and from house to house…<br />
We are living in the last days preceding the Lord’s return (The Rapture!) One of the<br />
greatest ‘signs-of-the-times’ is apostasy in the church. Many <strong>Christ</strong>ians are departing<br />
from the faith… 1 Tim 4v1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times<br />
some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of<br />
devils; 2 Tim 4v3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;<br />
but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching<br />
ears; Deception is rampant today and as <strong>Christ</strong>ians we are told to …earnestly<br />
contend <strong>for</strong> the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1v3<br />
So what follows is a sound defence <strong>for</strong> the Deity of the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>…<br />
No matter what you have been told, taught or read, know this - <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Whoever tells you He <strong>IS</strong>N’T, is either deceived or a LIAR, it’s as simple as that!<br />
Now that includes ALL the cults (Jehovah’s Witnesses (JW’s), Mormons,<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>adelphians, Seventh Day Adventists, Unitarians, United Pentecostals (<strong>Jesus</strong><br />
‘ONLY’ cult who deny the Trinity), <strong>Christ</strong>ian Scientists, ‘Scientologists’ etc.) and ALL<br />
the False Religions (Roman Catholics, Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs, Hindus, etc.); it even<br />
includes the Jews!<br />
In order to teach that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is not <strong>God</strong>, the cults and false religions (as above)<br />
either add, subtract or distort i.e. ‘change’ the true word of <strong>God</strong>, The Authorized<br />
Version Bible (which is perfectly preserved, INERRANT!) They will even try to<br />
confuse you by running back to ‘THE Greek’ (there isn’t ‘ONE’) rather than believing<br />
what the Scriptures say <strong>for</strong> themselves! Do NOT be fooled by these charlatans!<br />
Now this study-booklet is straight-down-the-line and is totally upfront and honest!<br />
We will NOT distort the Scriptures or change them to teach or say something they<br />
don’t, unlike ALL the above!<br />
2
What follows, is a study proving that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is not only the Son of <strong>God</strong>, but that<br />
He <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
If you are really interested in finding out THE TRUTH regarding the Deity<br />
(<strong>God</strong>/<strong>God</strong>head) of the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, please make sure you read this study all the<br />
way through. You will also find my email and postal address at the back, <strong>for</strong> you to<br />
drop me a line with any comments or questions.<br />
1 John 5v7<br />
First of all, let us look at a verse in the Bible that nearly every cult will remove or<br />
distort (check it out <strong>for</strong> yourself)… it is also known as the ‘Johannine Comma’ (if you<br />
would like a study of why it SHOULD BE IN the Bible, drop me a line!)<br />
1 John 5v7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word,<br />
and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.<br />
This causes a great problem <strong>for</strong> the cults and false religions that want to teach that<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> is not equal with the Father and that He is not <strong>God</strong>. Phil 2v5-11 Let this mind<br />
be in you, which was also in <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>: Who, being in the <strong>for</strong>m of <strong>God</strong>, thought it<br />
not robbery to be equal with <strong>God</strong>: But made himself of no reputation, and took<br />
upon him the <strong>for</strong>m of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being<br />
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death,<br />
even the death of the cross. Where<strong>for</strong>e <strong>God</strong> also hath highly exalted him, and<br />
given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of <strong>Jesus</strong> every knee<br />
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;<br />
And that every tongue should confess that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is Lord, to the glory of <strong>God</strong><br />
the Father. What the cults have to do is CHANGE the word of <strong>God</strong> to teach a LIE!<br />
JW’s do this all the time with their corrupt ‘New World Translation bible!’ (The JW’s<br />
have written their own ‘bible’ based upon corrupt manuscripts (Westcott and Hort’s<br />
Greek Text) i.e. Codex B-Vaticanus and Codex Aleph-Sinaiticus – these manuscripts<br />
disagree with each other over 3,000 times in just the Gospels alone; how about that<br />
<strong>for</strong> accuracy!!!) The Mormons have to ADD a whole new book to the Scriptures to<br />
teach their own ERRORS i.e. the book of Mormon.<br />
1 John 5v7 categorically states that the Father, the Word (which is <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) and<br />
the Holy Ghost are ONE! That is what it SAYS without any interpretation or opinion,<br />
THE THREE ARE ONE! No wonder the cults change or remove this verse from their<br />
man-made-bibles!<br />

I and My Father are One<br />
The Jews in <strong>Christ</strong>’s day went to stone the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> because He claimed to be<br />
<strong>God</strong> in the flesh…<br />
John 10v30-33 I and my Father are one. Then the Jews took up stones again to<br />
stone him. <strong>Jesus</strong> answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my<br />
Father; <strong>for</strong> which of those works do ye stone me The Jews answered him, saying,<br />
For a good work we stone thee not; but <strong>for</strong> blasphemy; and because that thou,<br />
being a man, makest thyself <strong>God</strong>.<br />
The Jews understood who <strong>Jesus</strong> ‘claimed’ to be, hence why they wanted to stone<br />
Him!<br />
So just by these few Scriptures, already we can see that <strong>God</strong> is three separate<br />
persons, Father, Son (i.e. the Word – note capital ‘W’) and Holy Spirit, yet there is<br />
ONE GOD! Nobody can fully understand it but the Bible declares this to be the case!<br />
It is also very interesting that the word ‘<strong>God</strong>head’ appears just THREE times in<br />
Scripture…<br />
1) Acts 17v29 Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of <strong>God</strong>, we ought not<br />
to think that the <strong>God</strong>head is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by<br />
art and man's device.<br />
2) Rom 1v20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are<br />
clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his<br />
eternal power and <strong>God</strong>head; so that they are without excuse:<br />
3) Col 2v9 For in him (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) dwelleth all the fulness of the <strong>God</strong>head<br />
bodily.<br />
It is also very interesting that the words Almighty <strong>God</strong> appear THREE times in<br />
Scripture!<br />
1) Gen 17v1 And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD<br />
appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty <strong>God</strong>; walk<br />
be<strong>for</strong>e me, and be thou perfect.<br />
2) Eze 10v5 And the sound of the cherubims' wings was heard even to the<br />
outer court, as the voice of the Almighty <strong>God</strong> when he speaketh.<br />
4
3) Rev 19v15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he<br />
should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he<br />
treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty <strong>God</strong>.<br />
<strong>God</strong>’s fingerprints are often seen in ‘threes’… There is something special about the<br />
number THREE!<br />
In the RESURRECTION of the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, He was RA<strong>IS</strong>ED on the THIRD day (Mat<br />
12v38-40) by the DIVINE THREE in the GODHEAD - <strong>God</strong> the Father RA<strong>IS</strong>ED Him (Gal<br />
1v1), <strong>Jesus</strong> RA<strong>IS</strong>ED Himself (John 2v19-21), and the Holy Spirit RA<strong>IS</strong>ED Him (Rom<br />
8v11) (Ask a JW to explain that one and watch him run <strong>for</strong> cover!!!)<br />
The number THREE also shows… THE IMPRINT OF THE GODHEAD IN THE<br />
UNIVERSE!<br />
The significance of ‘THREE’…<br />

So getting back to our study proving from the word of <strong>God</strong>, the Scriptures, that <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>…<br />
John 1v1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with <strong>God</strong>, and the<br />
Word was <strong>God</strong>.<br />
John 1v14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his<br />
glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.<br />
So WHO is ‘the Word’ ‘The Word’ (note the capital ‘W’) is <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> – <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong><br />
<strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
1 John 1v1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we<br />
have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled,<br />
of the Word of life; The ‘Word’ <strong>IS</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
Rev 19v11-13 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat<br />
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and<br />
make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns;<br />
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed<br />
with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of <strong>God</strong>. The Word<br />
<strong>IS</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
1 Tim 3v16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: <strong>God</strong> was<br />
manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the<br />
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. <strong>God</strong> here <strong>IS</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
It’s crystal clear - <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
But what do the cults and false religions do with the above Scriptures Peter tells<br />
us… 2 Pet 3v16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which<br />
are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and<br />
unstable (ALL the cults and false religions!) wrest, as they do also the other<br />
6
scriptures, unto their own destruction. They wrest (distort) the Scriptures to their<br />
own destruction! Regarding adding, subtracting or distorting the word of <strong>God</strong> you<br />
ought to look up the following Scriptures… Deut 4v2, Prov 30v5+6, Ecc 3v14, Rev<br />
22v18+19. We do NOT change the Scriptures; the Scriptures SHOULD change us!<br />
All we have done so far is looked at Scripture, comparing ‘spiritual’ with ‘spiritual’ (1<br />
Cor 2v13-16). Notice we haven’t changed one single word of the ‘word of <strong>God</strong>’;<br />
notice too, that we haven’t run to any Greek or Hebrew text to try to prove anything!<br />
(Do YOU speak Greek or Hebrew) Next time someone says to you “Well in the<br />
Greek...” Ask him if he SPEAKS Greek Cults run to ‘the Greek’ to confuse their<br />
listener – DON’T be fooled by them! <strong>God</strong> has given us a PERFECT Bible in ENGL<strong>IS</strong>H!<br />
English is the most commonly spoken language in all the world and <strong>God</strong> preserved<br />
His word perfect <strong>for</strong> us today in this most common language! The Authorized<br />
Version Bible is 100% ‘absolutely’ PERFECT and PURE; ALL other versions have<br />
ERRORS in them, beware of that fact!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>IS</strong> Jehovah <strong>God</strong><br />
The JW cult insist that ‘LORD’ (note all capitals) refers to Jehovah <strong>God</strong> the Father,<br />
while ‘Lord’ refers to the Son (a lesser ‘god’), but the truth of the matter is that the<br />
Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> was often referred to in the Old Testament (OT) as Jehovah <strong>God</strong><br />
Himself! For example, look at the following verses…<br />
Zech 12v7 The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, that the glory of the<br />
house of David and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not magnify<br />
themselves against Judah.<br />
v8 In that day shall the LORD defend the inhabitants of Jerusalem; and he that is<br />
feeble among them at that day shall be as David; and the house of David shall be as<br />
<strong>God</strong>, as the angel of the LORD be<strong>for</strong>e them.<br />
v9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations<br />
that come against Jerusalem.<br />
v10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of<br />
Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me<br />
whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn <strong>for</strong> him, as one mourneth <strong>for</strong> his<br />
only son, and shall be in bitterness <strong>for</strong> him, as one that is in bitterness <strong>for</strong> his<br />
firstborn.<br />
Now how about that, Jehovah <strong>God</strong> saying that they shall look upon ME whom they<br />
have pierced (crucified). <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> Jehovah <strong>God</strong>! Rev 1v5 And from <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong>, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the<br />
7
prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our<br />
sins in his own blood,<br />
v6 And hath made us kings and priests unto <strong>God</strong> and his Father; to him be glory and<br />
dominion <strong>for</strong> ever and ever. Amen.<br />
v7 Behold, he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they<br />
also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him.<br />
Even so, Amen.<br />
Isa 44v6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of<br />
hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no <strong>God</strong>. Note the<br />
‘LORD’ <strong>for</strong> the Father and the ‘LORD’ <strong>for</strong> the Son – BOTH are <strong>God</strong>! Both are the First<br />
and the Last!<br />
Rev 1v17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand<br />
upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:<br />
v18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive <strong>for</strong> evermore, Amen;<br />
and have the keys of hell and of death. (This is <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> talking i.e. ‘the First and<br />
the Last!’) <strong>God</strong> the Father wasn’t crucified, <strong>God</strong> the Son was! <strong>God</strong> the Father didn’t<br />
die, <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> DIED - I am the first and the last - I am he that liveth, and was dead!<br />
Just by comparing Scripture with Scripture you can see clearly that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong><br />
‘Jehovah’ GOD.<br />
8
Let us look at a few comparisons…<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
Isa 8v13 Sanctify the LORD of hosts<br />
himself; and let him be your fear, and<br />
let him be your dread.<br />
v14 And he shall be <strong>for</strong> a sanctuary; but<br />
<strong>for</strong> a stone of stumbling and <strong>for</strong> a rock<br />
of offence to both the houses of Israel,<br />
<strong>for</strong> a gin and <strong>for</strong> a snare to the<br />
inhabitants of Jerusalem.<br />
v15 And many among them shall<br />
stumble, and fall, and be broken, and<br />
be snared, and be taken.<br />
Isa 28v16 There<strong>for</strong>e thus saith the Lord<br />
GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion <strong>for</strong> a<br />
foundation a stone, a tried stone, a<br />
precious corner stone, a sure<br />
foundation: he that believeth shall not<br />
make haste.<br />
Deut 32v3 Because I will publish the<br />
name of the LORD: ascribe ye greatness<br />
unto our <strong>God</strong>.<br />
v4 He is the Rock, his work is perfect:<br />
<strong>for</strong> all his ways are judgment: a <strong>God</strong> of<br />
truth and without iniquity, just and<br />
right is he.<br />
9<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
1 Pet 2v8 And a stone of stumbling, and a<br />
rock of offence, even to them which<br />
stumble at the word, being disobedient:<br />
whereunto also they were appointed.<br />
Rom 9v33 As it is written, Behold, I lay in<br />
Sion a stumblingstone and rock of<br />
offence: and whosoever believeth on<br />
him shall not be ashamed.<br />
1 Cor 10v4 And did all drink the same<br />
spiritual drink: <strong>for</strong> they drank of that<br />
spiritual Rock that followed them: and<br />
that Rock was <strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
How clear can you get The ‘LORD’ <strong>God</strong> is also <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
GOD the ‘Rock’ is also <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, who <strong>IS</strong> Jehovah GOD!<br />
My Lord and my <strong>God</strong>!<br />
In John 20v24-28 we read… But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not<br />
with them when <strong>Jesus</strong> came.<br />
v25 The other disciples there<strong>for</strong>e said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said<br />
unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger<br />
into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
v26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them:<br />
then came <strong>Jesus</strong>, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be<br />
unto you.<br />
v27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and<br />
reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.<br />
v28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my <strong>God</strong>. Why<br />
Because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>! Now don’t you think that if <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> WASN’T <strong>God</strong> He<br />
would have straightened poor old Thomas out immediately Sure He would have,<br />
just like the angels did when someone bowed down to them… But <strong>Jesus</strong> didn’t,<br />
because He was <strong>God</strong> in the flesh!<br />
A ‘child’ is BORN but a ‘son’ is GIVEN<br />
NOTE - The son was NOT ‘born’ because the Son of <strong>God</strong> is from everlasting –<br />
WHY<br />
Because GOD is from EVERLASTING; He has NO beginning!<br />
The Messiah, the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> was ‘called’ Divine names in prophecy e.g. Isa 9v6<br />
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be<br />
upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty<br />
<strong>God</strong>, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Now only the Lord <strong>God</strong> Jehovah<br />
Himself could satisfy the requirement of these names. ‘The everlasting Father’ – the<br />
Son was called that! That was NOT His name, but that is what He was ‘called’ – His<br />
name was <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>! ‘The mighty <strong>God</strong>’ – the One prophesied to be the Messiah<br />
was to be <strong>God</strong> Himself; <strong>God</strong> of very <strong>God</strong>… the mighty <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Micah 5v2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the<br />
thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) come <strong>for</strong>th unto me that<br />
is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings <strong>for</strong>th have been from of old, from everlasting.<br />
Human beings DON’T come from ‘everlasting’ - <strong>God</strong> does! The JW’s and such like,<br />
want <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> to have a beginning so they can say that He is NOT <strong>God</strong>, hence they<br />
corrupt the Bible again to teach their FALSE doctrine! <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is eternal and has<br />
no beginning! He came to take the body that was prepared <strong>for</strong> Him - Heb 10v5<br />
Where<strong>for</strong>e when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou<br />
wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me: (Note how the NIV PER-version<br />
‘bible’ has changed this text to ‘ancient’ times; the NIV is based upon the same<br />
manuscripts as the JW’s ‘bible!’ If you would like details about counterfeit ‘bibles’<br />
like the NIV, NKJV, RSV, ASV, NASV, ESV etc. drop me a line!) John 6v62 What and if<br />
ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was be<strong>for</strong>e BEFORE Yes, <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
was with the Father BEFORE He came to earth! He is from everlasting!<br />
10
Who is the I AM<br />
Both <strong>God</strong> the Father and the Son <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> are called ‘I AM’ - Exo 3v14 And <strong>God</strong><br />
said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the<br />
children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Yet in John 8v58 we read… <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Be<strong>for</strong>e Abraham was, I am. Note<br />
again the Jews wanted to stone <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>for</strong> they realised that He equated Himself with<br />
<strong>God</strong>! Note also that <strong>Jesus</strong> didn’t say ‘Be<strong>for</strong>e Abraham was I ‘WAS’, He said I AM i.e.<br />
He claimed an eternal presence! How could <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> say that He was the ‘I<br />
AM’… …because He <strong>IS</strong> the ‘I AM’ – <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Now here is an interesting piece of in<strong>for</strong>mation regarding the italicized words in the<br />
Authorized Version Bible… The italicized words in the King James Bible are words<br />
that were added by the translators (under the guidance of <strong>God</strong> of course!) to help the<br />
reader. This is necessary when translating from one language to another because<br />
word meanings and idioms change (idiom = A mode of expression peculiar to a language;<br />
peculiarity of expression or phraseology). So, to produce a more readable translation, the<br />
King James translators (1604-1611) added certain words to the Bible text. However,<br />
to make sure that everyone understood that these words were not in the available<br />
manuscripts they set them in italics. (J.Melton)<br />
On the whole, you CANNOT translate ‘word-<strong>for</strong>-word’ from one language to another<br />
WITHOUT adding or subtracting WORDS! The AV shows you ALL the added words<br />
that were not in the ‘originals’. Do the NKJV, or NIV or NWT (JW ‘bible’) do that<br />
NO! They are dishonest ‘bibles!’ You can’t tell WHAT was in the original and what<br />
WASN’T!<br />
The Authorized Version Bible is the ONLY Bible to do this and shows the honesty and<br />
integrity of the translation. (Check out your own Bible!) Now look at the following<br />
Scriptures from the Book of John and what <strong>Jesus</strong> says about HIMSELF… NOTE the ‘he’<br />
in italics (i.e. NOT in the originals!!!)<br />
John 8v24 I said there<strong>for</strong>e unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: <strong>for</strong> if ye believe<br />
not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins.<br />
John 8v28 Then said <strong>Jesus</strong> unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then<br />
shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath<br />
taught me, I speak these things.<br />
John 9v9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.<br />
John 13v19 Now I tell you be<strong>for</strong>e it come, that, when it is come to pass, ye may<br />
believe that I am he.<br />
11
John 18v5 They answered him, <strong>Jesus</strong> of Nazareth. <strong>Jesus</strong> saith unto them, I am he.<br />
And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them.<br />
John 18v6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward,<br />
and fell to the ground.<br />
John 18v8 <strong>Jesus</strong> answered, I have told you that I am he: if there<strong>for</strong>e ye seek me, let<br />
these go their way:<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e <strong>Jesus</strong> is claiming the ‘I AM’ title of <strong>God</strong>, why Because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong><br />
according to Scripture!<br />
For all of you who enjoy ‘Biblical-numerics’ note also the term ‘I AM he’ occurs<br />
SEVEN times (i.e. perfection/completion).<br />
(If you would like more details on number patterns and the significance of Biblicalnumbers<br />
drop me a line).<br />
The AV Bible is an incredible book, there is none like it!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> claimed things <strong>for</strong> Himself that no man could claim unless He was<br />
claiming to be <strong>God</strong>! He didn’t claim to be ‘a’ truth, He claimed to be ‘THE’ truth; He<br />
didn’t claim to be ‘a’ way, He claimed to be ‘THE’ way – now that’s quite a statement<br />
to make! That means according to <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> Himself, there is NO OTHER WAY!<br />
There<strong>for</strong>e Roman Catholicism, Islam or any of the cults CANNOT SAVE YOU, ONLY<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> can! Think about that long and hard, <strong>for</strong> if you do not come THROUGH<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>, you will land up in Hell, no matter what ‘other way’ you have taken! It’s a<br />
narrow road folks; make sure you are on it! Mat 7v13 Enter ye in at the strait gate:<br />
<strong>for</strong> wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many<br />
there be which go in thereat:<br />
v14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and<br />
few there be that find it.<br />
v15 Beware of false prophets, (JW’s, Mormons etc.) which come to you in sheep's<br />
clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.<br />
12
ONLY <strong>God</strong> is the FIRST and the LAST, the BEGINNING and the END,<br />
the ALPHA and the OMEGA!<br />
Isa 44v6 Thus saith the LORD the King of<br />
Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of<br />
hosts; I am the first, and I am the last;<br />
and beside me there is no <strong>God</strong>.<br />
Isa 48v12 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and<br />
Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I<br />
also am the last.<br />
(Read in from Rev 1v5-7!!!) Rev 1v8 I am<br />
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and<br />
the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and<br />
which was, and which is to come, the<br />
Almighty. (<strong>Jesus</strong>)<br />
Rev 1v11 Saying, I am (<strong>Jesus</strong>) Alpha and<br />
Omega, the first and the last…<br />
Rev 1v17 And when I saw him, (<strong>Jesus</strong>) I<br />
fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his<br />
right hand upon me, saying unto me,<br />
Fear not; I am the first and the last:<br />
Rev 2v8 And unto the angel of the<br />
church in Smyrna write; These things<br />
saith the first and the last, which was<br />
dead, and is alive; (<strong>Jesus</strong>)<br />
Rev 22v13 I am (<strong>Jesus</strong>) Alpha and<br />
Omega, the beginning and the end, the<br />
first and the last.<br />
WORSHIP ONLY GOD!<br />
Exo 34v14 For thou shalt worship no other god: <strong>for</strong> the LORD, whose name is<br />
Jealous, is a jealous <strong>God</strong>: Yet we read in Heb 1v6 And again, when he bringeth in<br />
the firstbegotten (<strong>Jesus</strong>) into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of <strong>God</strong><br />
worship him. (<strong>Jesus</strong>)<br />
Luke 4v8 And <strong>Jesus</strong> answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: <strong>for</strong> it<br />
is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy <strong>God</strong>, and him only shalt thou serve.<br />
We are told in the Scriptures to worship ONLY <strong>God</strong>! When men bowed down and<br />
worshipped an angel, that angel told them to GET UP!!! Rev 22v8 And I John saw<br />
these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to<br />
worship be<strong>for</strong>e the feet of the angel which shewed me these things.<br />
v9 Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: <strong>for</strong> I am thy fellowservant, and of thy<br />
brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship<br />
13
<strong>God</strong>. (Yet we have just read in Heb 1v6 that the angels worship Him! (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>))<br />
Rev 19v10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it<br />
not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of <strong>Jesus</strong>:<br />
worship <strong>God</strong>: <strong>for</strong> the testimony of <strong>Jesus</strong> is the spirit of prophecy.<br />
But when they worshipped <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, He let them! Why Because He (<strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong>) <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Mat 2v11 And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with<br />
Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened<br />
their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.<br />
Not once in Scripture are you told to worship Mary!<br />
Mat 28v9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, <strong>Jesus</strong> met them, saying, All<br />
hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Did <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
rebuke them<br />
v10 Then said <strong>Jesus</strong> unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into<br />
Galilee, and there shall they see me. He let them worship Him!<br />
Mark 5v6 But when he saw <strong>Jesus</strong> afar off, he ran and worshipped him,<br />
Luke 24v52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy:<br />
John 9v38 And he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped him.<br />
Rev 5v11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the<br />
throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand<br />
times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;<br />
v12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power,<br />
and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.<br />
v13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,<br />
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and<br />
honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto<br />
the Lamb <strong>for</strong> ever and ever.<br />
v14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and<br />
worshipped him that liveth <strong>for</strong> ever and ever.<br />
Not once in Scripture do we find the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> refusing worship,<br />
yet we are told ONLY to worship <strong>God</strong>, hence <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
(Unless you are a Bible rejector/corrector of course!)<br />

WHO CAN FORGIVE SINS BUT GOD!<br />
Mark 2v5 When <strong>Jesus</strong> saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy<br />
sins be <strong>for</strong>given thee.<br />
But I thought ONLY <strong>God</strong> could <strong>for</strong>give sins EXACTLY! <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
What did they say when they heard <strong>Jesus</strong> say ‘thy sins be <strong>for</strong>given thee’… Mark 2v7<br />
Why doth this man thus speak blasphemies who can <strong>for</strong>give sins but <strong>God</strong> only<br />
They knew ONLY <strong>God</strong> could <strong>for</strong>give sins, yet <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> did! Why Have a guess!<br />
Because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Here is another comparison…<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
Ps 32v5 I acknowledged my sin unto<br />
thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I<br />
said, I will confess my transgressions<br />
unto the LORD; and thou <strong>for</strong>gavest the<br />
iniquity of my sin. Selah.<br />
Isa 43v16 Thus saith the LORD, which<br />
maketh a way in the sea, and a path in<br />
the mighty waters;<br />
Isa 43v25 I, even I, am he that blotteth<br />
out thy transgressions <strong>for</strong> mine own<br />
sake, and will not remember thy sins.<br />
Ps 130v3 If thou, LORD, shouldest mark<br />
iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand<br />
v4 But there is <strong>for</strong>giveness with thee,<br />
that thou mayest be feared.<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
Luke 5v20 And when he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) saw<br />
their faith, he said unto him, Man, thy<br />
sins are <strong>for</strong>given thee.<br />
v24 But that ye may know that the Son<br />
of man hath power upon earth to<br />
<strong>for</strong>give sins, (he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) said unto the<br />
sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee, Arise,<br />
and take up thy couch, and go into<br />
thine house.<br />
Luke 7v48 And he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) said unto her,<br />
Thy sins are <strong>for</strong>given.<br />
v49 And they that sat at meat with him<br />
began to say within themselves, Who is<br />
this that <strong>for</strong>giveth sins also<br />
ONLY <strong>God</strong> can <strong>for</strong>give your sins! <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>for</strong>gives sins because He <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Now can you see what heretics these cults are and what lies they teach<br />
The whole focal point in this entire universe is The Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> – 1 John 5v12 He<br />
that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of <strong>God</strong> hath not life. You<br />
will never make it without Him!<br />
15
1 John 2v22 Who is a liar (JW’s, Mormons, <strong>Christ</strong>adelphians etc.) but he that denieth<br />
that <strong>Jesus</strong> is the <strong>Christ</strong> He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.<br />
v23 Whosoever denieth the Son, (ALL the cults and false religions) the same hath<br />
not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.<br />
So be very careful who you listen to and who you follow! The man-made cults like<br />
the JW’s, Mormons, <strong>Christ</strong>adelphians, Unitarians etc. will lead you to HELL if you<br />
follow them (and most of them don’t even believe in Hell!) The Bible warns us about<br />
being seduced by these ANTI-<strong>Christ</strong>ian sects… 1 John 2v26 These things have I<br />
written unto you concerning them that seduce you. This is what ‘cults’ do, they<br />
SEDUCE you!<br />
1 John 3v7 …let no man deceive you:<br />
2 John 1v7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.<br />
Anyone who denies that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> is NOT <strong>God</strong> or that He was not <strong>God</strong> in the flesh<br />
is ‘ANTI-<strong>Christ</strong>’ and a liar - they are trying to seduce you! Beware!!!<br />
Submit to the word of <strong>God</strong>, the Authorized Version Bible and you won’t go wrong!<br />
Don’t follow a man or an organisation! Don’t be seduced by the ‘Watchtower’ or<br />
‘Awake’ cult magazines; they are only trying to deceive you! The <strong>Christ</strong>adelphians<br />
talk a lot about the Bible but they are Bible ‘rejectors’ and ‘distorters’. They will deny<br />
that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>, tell you that there is NO Hell and will run to ‘THE’ Greek to<br />
try to prove it! But they don’t tell you ‘which’ Greek Text they are running to, from<br />
the ‘many’ that are available! They are liars and seducers, BEWARE!<br />
Wake up to reality and follow the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> and His word!<br />
You really want the TRUTH How about this <strong>for</strong> a verse… Eph 4v21 If so be that ye<br />
have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in <strong>Jesus</strong>: <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>! The Bible clearly teaches that, cults and false religions DON’T!<br />
Now you must decide whether you are going to follow the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> i.e. He is<br />
THE way, THE truth, THE life, OR, you are going to put your faith and trust in<br />
someone or something that will certainly lead you astray such as the cults/false<br />
religions. Do that, and you will NEVER see Heaven, but instead you will be led down<br />
the ‘broad-way’ that leadeth to destruction i.e. HELL! Let me ‘tell-it-as-it-really-is!’<br />
You want the truth; I’m giving you the truth!<br />
16
I have written to and had debates with numerous JW’s, Mormons, Unitarians,<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>adelphians, Roman Catholics, Muslims etc. presenting THE TRUTH and showing<br />
them the ERRORS in their own sacred books and literature! Very few have ever<br />
written back or tried to sustain an argument! I wonder why<br />
Because TRUTH <strong>IS</strong> TRUTH! You’ll never ‘beat’ TRUTH, and ‘they’ CAN’T!!! They DENY<br />
the TRUTH!<br />
Back to our study…<br />
Only GOD is the Creator!<br />
Obviously if you believe in ‘evolution’ you’re just a ‘monkey!!!’ Evolution is a fairytale<br />
<strong>for</strong> grown-ups! No sane, rational, logical, intelligent human being would believe<br />
in something so ridiculous! To think that some people really believe that ‘hydrogen<br />
is a colourless, odourless gas, which given enough time, turns into people’ is too<br />
idiotic <strong>for</strong> words! I mean, how can something, come from NOTHING!!! If you are a<br />
follower/admirer of those two monkey-men ‘Dawkins and Hawking’ I suggest you<br />
jump ship as their ‘theories’ are sinking deep into the abyss – get out while you can!<br />
The fossils still say NO and they have never found a transitional fossil of a human in<br />
the ‘half-stage’ from the millions of fossils THAT SHOULD BE AVAILABLE all around<br />
the world; doesn’t that tell you something If evolution were true there should be<br />
millions of transitional fossils! I think someone is trying to make a ‘monkey’ out of<br />
you!<br />
Let us leave the Hawking and Dawkins DEAD ‘delusions’ and their fairy-tales, and get<br />
back to reality…<br />
This Universe was CREATED by <strong>God</strong>… FACT! Like it or lump it, that is the TRUTH of it!<br />
Gen 1v1 In the beginning <strong>God</strong> created the heaven and the earth.<br />
Isa 44v24 Thus saith the LORD, (<strong>God</strong> the Father) thy redeemer, and he that <strong>for</strong>med<br />
thee from the womb, I am the LORD (Father) that maketh all things; that stretcheth<br />
<strong>for</strong>th the heavens alone; that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself; (<strong>God</strong> the<br />
Father)<br />
Yet we read in the Scriptures that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> the Creator…<br />
John 1v1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with <strong>God</strong>, and the<br />
Word was <strong>God</strong>.<br />
v2 The same was in the beginning with <strong>God</strong>.<br />
17
v3 All things were made by him (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>); and without him was not any thing<br />
made that was made.<br />
Col 1v16 For by him (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) were all things created, that are in heaven, and<br />
that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or<br />
principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and <strong>for</strong> him: Who Read<br />
on!<br />
v17 And he is be<strong>for</strong>e all things, and by him all things consist. Who Read on!!!<br />
v18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn<br />
from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. Who is the head<br />
of the body, the church, the firstborn from the dead JESUS CHR<strong>IS</strong>T!<br />
v19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; - IN <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> the Creator <strong>God</strong>!<br />
v20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all<br />
things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in<br />
heaven. Who shed His blood on the cross <strong>for</strong> your sins <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
Heb 3v4 For every house is builded by some man; but he that built all things is <strong>God</strong>.<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father even calls His Son, the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, GOD!<br />
Heb 1v8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O <strong>God</strong>, (WHO GOD!!!) is <strong>for</strong> ever<br />
and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom.<br />
v9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; there<strong>for</strong>e <strong>God</strong>, even thy <strong>God</strong>,<br />
hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.<br />
v10 And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the<br />
heavens are the works of thine hands: <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> the Creator!<br />
Now I am not interested in what you ‘think’ or anybody ‘thinks’ regarding the Deity<br />
of the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>! I want to know the TRUTH and so far we have looked at<br />
ample Scriptures, documenting factual evidence from the Scriptures (note -<br />
NOBODY’S opinions!) that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Now you either believe the word of <strong>God</strong> or you don’t, and if you DON’T, it’s at YOUR<br />
peril!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> said in John 5v39 Search the scriptures; <strong>for</strong> in them ye think ye have eternal<br />
life: and they are they which testify of me.<br />
18
Acts 18v28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publickly, shewing by the<br />
scriptures that <strong>Jesus</strong> was <strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
1 Thes 2v13 For this cause also thank we <strong>God</strong> without ceasing, because, when ye<br />
received the word of <strong>God</strong> which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of<br />
men, but as it is in truth, the word of <strong>God</strong>, which effectually worketh also in you<br />
that believe.<br />
Is the word of <strong>God</strong> your FINAL AUTHORITY on all matters of faith and practice If<br />
not, what is - your opinion<br />
Are you willing to risk putting your opinions, your church traditions or your<br />
organisation above or on par with the word of <strong>God</strong> Don’t be so foolish! What<br />
emphasis does GOD put on His word Ps 138v2 I will worship toward thy holy<br />
temple, and praise thy name <strong>for</strong> thy lovingkindness and <strong>for</strong> thy truth: FOR THOU<br />
HAST MAGNIFIED THY WORD ABOVE ALL THY NAME. It is what <strong>God</strong> says that really<br />
matters! Who on earth would trust an ‘organisation’ (i.e. the JW Watchtower) to tell<br />
you the truth about <strong>God</strong>’s word The Watchtower really believes that it is the<br />
‘prophet’ of <strong>God</strong> on earth; what an absurd thought that is, who would be<br />
brainwashed into believing something so stupid The Satanic Watchtower<br />
Organisation is set up to deceive as many people as possible. It has broken up homes<br />
and marriages and wants to control your mind; YOUR LIFE! If you’re IN IT – GET OUT<br />
OF IT!!! You will ONLY find liberty and peace in <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> alone… Luke 4v18 The<br />
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to<br />
the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the<br />
captives, (are YOU a captive in a cult) and recovering of sight to the blind, (ALL<br />
cults/false religions have blinded their followers) to set at liberty them that are<br />
bruised, (are YOU bruised and hurt) <strong>Jesus</strong> said… Mat 11v28 Come unto me, all ye<br />
that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.<br />
Think upon the following verses…<br />
2 Cor 3v17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is<br />
liberty.<br />
Gal 2v4 And that because of false brethren unawares brought in, who came in<br />
privily to spy out our liberty which we have in <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>, that they might bring us<br />
into bondage: (‘cult members’ are ‘in bondage’ – imagine dictating to someone that<br />
you can’t have a blood transfusion to save your life or the life of a family member!<br />
That is what the JW’s do, that is what the Watchtower teaches – you are NOT<br />
allowed a blood transfusion under any circumstance! If you don’t agree to their<br />
teachings and doctrines you are dis-fellowshipped!) There is NO liberty in a CULT!<br />
19
v5 To whom we gave place by subjection, no, not <strong>for</strong> an hour; that the truth of the<br />
gospel might continue with you. True liberty is ONLY found in the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>!<br />
Gal 5v1 Stand fast there<strong>for</strong>e in the liberty wherewith <strong>Christ</strong> hath made us free, and<br />
be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.<br />
Read 2 Peter chapter 2 all the way through!<br />
Back to our study…<br />
Who is the Saviour<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
Isa 43v3 For I am the LORD thy <strong>God</strong>,<br />
the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I<br />
gave Egypt <strong>for</strong> thy ransom, Ethiopia<br />
and Seba <strong>for</strong> thee.<br />
Isa 43v11 I, even I, am the LORD; and<br />
beside me there is no saviour.<br />
Isa 45v15 Verily thou art a <strong>God</strong> that<br />
hidest thyself, O <strong>God</strong> of Israel, the<br />
Saviour.<br />
Isa 45v21 Tell ye, and bring them near;<br />
yea, let them take counsel together:<br />
who hath declared this from ancient<br />
time who hath told it from that time<br />
have not I the LORD and there is no<br />
<strong>God</strong> else beside me; a just <strong>God</strong> and a<br />
Saviour; there is none beside me.<br />
Isa 49v26 And I will feed them that<br />
oppress thee with their own flesh; and<br />
they shall be drunken with their own<br />
blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh<br />
shall know that I the LORD am thy<br />
Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty<br />
One of Jacob.<br />
Isa 60v16 Thou shalt also suck the milk<br />
of the Gentiles, and shalt suck the<br />
breast of kings: and thou shalt know<br />
that I the LORD am thy Saviour and thy<br />
Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
Luke 2v11 For unto you is born this day in<br />
the city of David a Saviour, which is<br />
<strong>Christ</strong> the Lord.<br />
John 4v42 And said unto the woman,<br />
Now we believe, not because of thy<br />
saying: <strong>for</strong> we have heard him ourselves,<br />
and know that this is indeed the <strong>Christ</strong>,<br />
the Saviour of the world.<br />
Phil 3v20 For our conversation is in<br />
heaven; from whence also we look <strong>for</strong><br />
the Saviour, the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>:<br />
1 Tim 2v3 For this is good and acceptable<br />
in the sight of <strong>God</strong> our Saviour;<br />
1 Tim 4v10 For there<strong>for</strong>e we both labour<br />
and suffer reproach, because we trust in<br />
the living <strong>God</strong>, who is the Saviour of all<br />
men, specially of those that believe.<br />
2 Tim 1v10 But is now made manifest by<br />
the appearing of our Saviour <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>,<br />
who hath abolished death, and hath<br />
brought life and immortality to light<br />
through the gospel:<br />
Titus 1v3 But hath in due times<br />
manifested his word through preaching,<br />
which is committed unto me according to<br />
the commandment of <strong>God</strong> our Saviour;<br />
Titus 1v4 To Titus, mine own son after<br />
the common faith: Grace, mercy, and<br />
20
Hos 13v4 Yet I am the LORD thy <strong>God</strong><br />
from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt<br />
know no god but me: <strong>for</strong> there is no<br />
saviour beside me.<br />
peace, from <strong>God</strong> the Father and the Lord<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> our Saviour.<br />
Titus 2v10 Not purloining, but shewing all<br />
good fidelity; that they may adorn the<br />
doctrine of <strong>God</strong> our Saviour in all things.<br />
Titus 2v13 Looking <strong>for</strong> that blessed hope,<br />
and the glorious appearing of the great<br />
<strong>God</strong> and our Saviour <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>;<br />
1 John 4v14 And we have seen and do<br />
testify that the Father sent the Son to be<br />
the Saviour of the world.<br />
So we see from the OT, <strong>God</strong> the Father is the Saviour and in the NT, GOD the Son is<br />
the Saviour!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
ONLY <strong>God</strong> is ALL Knowing!<br />
Omniscience is one of the exclusive prerogatives (a right or privilege to a peculiar<br />
individual) of Deity! ONLY <strong>God</strong> can read the hearts of His creatures!<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
Job 42v1 Then Job answered the LORD,<br />
and said,<br />
v2 I know that thou canst do every thing,<br />
and that no thought can be withholden<br />
from thee.<br />
1 Chron 28v9 And thou, Solomon my son,<br />
know thou the <strong>God</strong> of thy father, and<br />
serve him with a perfect heart and with a<br />
willing mind: <strong>for</strong> the LORD searcheth all<br />
hearts, and understandeth all the<br />
imaginations of the thoughts: if thou<br />
seek him, he will be found of thee; but if<br />
thou <strong>for</strong>sake him, he will cast thee off <strong>for</strong><br />
ever.<br />
Ps 94v11 The LORD knoweth the<br />
thoughts of man, that they are vanity.<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
Luke 5v22 But when <strong>Jesus</strong> perceived<br />
their thoughts, he answering said unto<br />
them, What reason ye in your hearts<br />
Luke 6v8 But he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) knew their<br />
thoughts, and said to the man which<br />
had the withered hand, Rise up, and<br />
stand <strong>for</strong>th in the midst. And he arose<br />
and stood <strong>for</strong>th.<br />
Luke 9v46 Then there arose a reasoning<br />
among them, which of them should be<br />
greatest.<br />
v47 And <strong>Jesus</strong>, perceiving the thought<br />
of their heart, took a child, and set him<br />
by him,<br />
Luke 11v16 And others, tempting him,<br />
sought of him a sign from heaven.<br />
v17 But he, (<strong>Jesus</strong>) knowing their<br />
thoughts, said unto them, Every<br />
21
Ps 139v1 O LORD, thou hast searched<br />
me, and known me.<br />
v2 Thou knowest my downsitting and<br />
mine uprising, thou understandest my<br />
thought afar off.<br />
1 Sam 16v7 But the LORD said unto<br />
Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or<br />
on the height of his stature; because I<br />
have refused him: <strong>for</strong> the LORD seeth<br />
not as man seeth; <strong>for</strong> man looketh on<br />
the outward appearance, but the LORD<br />
looketh on the heart.<br />
1 Kings 8v28 Yet have thou respect unto<br />
the prayer of thy servant, and to his<br />
supplication, O LORD my <strong>God</strong>, to<br />
hearken unto the cry and to the prayer,<br />
which thy servant prayeth be<strong>for</strong>e thee to<br />
day:<br />
v39 Then hear thou in heaven thy<br />
dwelling place, and <strong>for</strong>give, and do, and<br />
give to every man according to his ways,<br />
whose heart thou knowest; (<strong>for</strong> thou,<br />
even thou only, knowest the hearts of all<br />
the children of men;)<br />
kingdom divided against itself is<br />
brought to desolation; and a house<br />
divided against a house falleth.<br />
John 1v47 <strong>Jesus</strong> saw Nathanael coming<br />
to him, and saith of him, Behold an<br />
Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!<br />
v48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence<br />
knowest thou me <strong>Jesus</strong> answered and<br />
said unto him, Be<strong>for</strong>e that Philip called<br />
thee, when thou wast under the fig<br />
tree, I saw thee.<br />
v49 Nathanael answered and saith<br />
unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of<br />
<strong>God</strong>; thou art the King of Israel.<br />
Mat 9v4 And <strong>Jesus</strong> knowing their<br />
thoughts said, Where<strong>for</strong>e think ye evil<br />
in your hearts<br />
John 2v24 But <strong>Jesus</strong> did not commit<br />
himself unto them, because he knew<br />
all men,<br />
v25 And needed not that any should<br />
testify of man: <strong>for</strong> he knew what was in<br />
man.<br />
Acts 1v24 And they prayed, and said,<br />
Thou, Lord, (<strong>Jesus</strong>) which knowest the<br />
hearts of all men, shew whether of<br />
these two thou hast chosen,<br />
John 16v30 Now are we sure that thou<br />
(<strong>Jesus</strong>) knowest all things, and needest<br />
not that any man should ask thee: by<br />
this we believe that thou camest <strong>for</strong>th<br />
from <strong>God</strong>.<br />
John 21v17 He saith unto him the third<br />
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou<br />
me Peter was grieved because he said<br />
unto him the third time, Lovest thou<br />
me And he said unto him, Lord, (<strong>Jesus</strong>)<br />
thou knowest all things; thou knowest<br />
that I love thee. <strong>Jesus</strong> saith unto him,<br />
Feed my sheep.<br />

Can any honest person, from the above comparison, fail to see that the Jehovah <strong>God</strong><br />
of the Old Testament is the <strong>Jesus</strong> of the New Testament <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>IS</strong> Jehovah! <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Who is the Holy One<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
2 Kings 19v22 Whom hast thou<br />
reproached and blasphemed and<br />
against whom hast thou exalted thy<br />
voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high<br />
even against the Holy One of Israel.<br />
Ps 89v18 For the LORD is our defence;<br />
and the Holy One of Israel is our king.<br />
Isa 31v1 Woe to them that go down to<br />
Egypt <strong>for</strong> help; and stay on horses, and<br />
trust in chariots, because they are many;<br />
and in horsemen, because they are very<br />
strong; but they look not unto the Holy<br />
One of Israel, neither seek the LORD!<br />
Hos 11v9 I will not execute the<br />
fierceness of mine anger, I will not<br />
return to destroy Ephraim: <strong>for</strong> I am <strong>God</strong>,<br />
and not man; the Holy One in the midst<br />
of thee: and I will not enter into the city.<br />
Hab 1v12 Art thou not from everlasting,<br />
O LORD my <strong>God</strong>, mine Holy One we<br />
shall not die. O LORD, thou hast<br />
ordained them <strong>for</strong> judgment; and, O<br />
mighty <strong>God</strong>, thou hast established them<br />
<strong>for</strong> correction.<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
Mark 1v24 Saying, Let us alone; what<br />
have we to do with thee, thou <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
of Nazareth art thou come to<br />
destroy us I know thee who thou art,<br />

Acts 2v27 Because thou wilt not leave<br />
my soul in hell, neither wilt thou<br />
suffer thine Holy One (<strong>Jesus</strong>) to see<br />
corruption.<br />
Acts 3v14 But ye denied the Holy One<br />
(<strong>Jesus</strong>) and the Just, and desired a<br />

Only <strong>God</strong> can control the Elements/Weather!<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Father<br />
Ps 89v8 O LORD <strong>God</strong> of hosts, who is a<br />
strong LORD like unto thee or to thy<br />
faithfulness round about thee<br />
v9 Thou rulest the raging of the sea:<br />
when the waves thereof arise, thou<br />
stillest them.<br />
Ps 107v28 Then they cry unto the LORD<br />
in their trouble, and he bringeth them<br />
out of their distresses.<br />
v29 He maketh the storm a calm, so that<br />
the waves thereof are still.<br />
<strong>God</strong> the Son<br />
Mark 4v37 And there arose a great<br />
storm of wind, and the waves beat into<br />
the ship, so that it was now full.<br />
v39 And he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) arose, and rebuked<br />
the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace,<br />
be still. And the wind ceased, and there<br />
was a great calm.<br />
Mat 14v24 But the ship was now in the<br />
midst of the sea, tossed with waves: <strong>for</strong><br />
the wind was contrary.<br />
v25 And in the fourth watch of the<br />
night <strong>Jesus</strong> went unto them, walking on<br />
the sea.<br />
GOD the Father is the husband of His people in the OT<br />
GOD the Son is the husband of His people in the NT!<br />
Isa 54v5 For thy Maker is thine<br />
husband; the LORD of hosts is his name;<br />
and thy Redeemer the Holy One of<br />
Israel; The <strong>God</strong> of the whole earth shall<br />
he be called.<br />
Jer 3v14 Turn, O backsliding children,<br />
saith the LORD; <strong>for</strong> I am married unto<br />
you: and I will take you one of a city,<br />
and two of a family, and I will bring you<br />
to Zion:<br />
Jer 31v32 Not according to the<br />
covenant that I made with their fathers<br />
in the day that I took them by the hand<br />
to bring them out of the land of Egypt;<br />
which my covenant they brake,<br />
although I was an husband unto them,<br />
saith the LORD:<br />
24<br />
2 Cor 11v2 For I am jealous over you<br />
with godly jealousy: <strong>for</strong> I have espoused<br />
you to one husband, that I may present<br />
you as a chaste virgin to <strong>Christ</strong>.<br />
Mat 25v10 And while they went to buy,<br />
the bridegroom came; and they that<br />
were ready went in with him to the<br />
marriage: and the door was shut.<br />
John 3v29 He that hath the bride is the<br />
bridegroom: but the friend of the<br />
bridegroom, which standeth and<br />
heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because<br />
of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy<br />
there<strong>for</strong>e is fulfilled.<br />
v30 He must increase, but I must<br />
decrease.<br />
Rev 19v7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and<br />
give honour to him: <strong>for</strong> the marriage of<br />
the Lamb is come, and his wife hath
Name or ‘names’<br />
made herself ready.<br />
v9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed<br />
are they which are called unto the<br />
marriage supper of the Lamb. And he<br />
saith unto me, These are the true<br />
sayings of <strong>God</strong>.<br />
Mat 28v19 Go ye there<strong>for</strong>e, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of<br />
the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: If <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> wasn’t <strong>God</strong>, why<br />
did He include Himself in the Holy Trinity John 10v30 I and my Father are one.<br />
So just by comparing Scripture with Scripture and leaving it in its context i.e. NOT<br />
changing it at all, it is an ABSOLUTE FACT that the Bible declares that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong><br />
<strong>God</strong>! If the cults say he isn’t, they MUST distort/pervert/corrupt the word of <strong>God</strong>,<br />
which they do all the time; 2 Cor 2v17 For we are not as many, which corrupt the<br />
word of <strong>God</strong>: but as of sincerity, but as of <strong>God</strong>, in the sight of <strong>God</strong> speak we in<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>. ALL the cults and false religions corrupt the word of <strong>God</strong>!<br />
I have heard people say, “Well I can’t understand the Trinity”, yet no-one can fully<br />
understand the Trinity; in fact, how can you understand <strong>God</strong> as a ‘unity’ – YOU<br />
CAN’T! i.e. Eph 1v20 Which he wrought in <strong>Christ</strong>, when he raised him from the<br />
dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,<br />
v21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every<br />
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:<br />
v22 And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all<br />
things to the church,<br />
v23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all. How can you<br />
understand <strong>God</strong><br />
Job 11v7 Canst thou by searching find out <strong>God</strong> canst thou find out the Almighty<br />
unto perfection<br />
Rom 11v33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of <strong>God</strong>!<br />
how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!<br />
Isa 40v18 To whom then will ye liken <strong>God</strong> or what likeness will ye compare unto<br />
him<br />
v25 To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal saith the Holy One.<br />
25
1 Cor 2v14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of <strong>God</strong>: <strong>for</strong><br />
they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are<br />
spiritually discerned.<br />
Of course man CANNOT fully understand GOD! But <strong>God</strong> has given us a Book where<br />
we can get to know Him; yet today, most people do NOT read or study the Holy<br />
Scriptures. 2 Tim 2v15 Study to shew thyself approved unto <strong>God</strong>, a workman that<br />
needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. (In fact, this is the<br />
ONLY Scripture that tells you to ‘study’ the Bible itself! You will find it taken out of<br />
every other Bible version). Somebody (Satan) doesn’t want you to STUDY the Bible,<br />
hence we have an influx of modern ‘bible’ PER-versions flooding the market every<br />
year; these Satanic ‘bible’ PER-versions include the NIV, (look up in the NIV who killed<br />
Goliath in 2 Sam 21v19 then check it out in the AV!) NASB, NKJV, GNB, ESV, RSV, ASV,<br />
etc.<br />
Who created man<br />
Gen 1v26 And <strong>God</strong> said, Let us (the Trinity i.e. Father, Son and Holy Spirit) make man<br />
in our (the Trinity) image, after our (the Trinity) likeness: and let them have<br />
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle,<br />
and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.<br />
Now the JW’s will tell you that the ‘us’ and ‘our’ of this verse is talking about the<br />
angels, but that shows you how immature these cults are when it comes to<br />
interpreting the Scriptures; the JW’s will twist and distort any Scripture that doesn’t<br />
fit in with their man-made doctrines! Let us see what image we are created after,<br />
see the next verse v27 So <strong>God</strong> created man in his own image, in the image of <strong>God</strong><br />
created he him; male and female created he them (NOT in the image of angels!)<br />
…Gen 5v1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that <strong>God</strong> created<br />
man, in the likeness of <strong>God</strong> made he him;<br />
Gen 3v22 And the LORD <strong>God</strong> said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, (the<br />
Trinity) to know good and evil: and now, lest he put <strong>for</strong>th his hand, and take also of<br />
the tree of life, and eat, and live <strong>for</strong> ever:<br />
Gen 11v7 Go to, let us (the Trinity) go down, and there confound their language,<br />
that they may not understand one another's speech.<br />
Another ludicrous statement I have heard is that the doctrine of the Trinity is Roman<br />
Catholic! I guess it was one of the cults that started this rumour! The doctrine of the<br />
Trinity (i.e. ONE <strong>God</strong> yet THREE separate ‘persons’ - <strong>God</strong> the Father, <strong>God</strong> the Son and<br />
26
<strong>God</strong> the Holy Spirit) is a doctrine that SCRIPTURE teaches! The cults will dream up<br />
anything to get you away from THE TRUTH! Note this verse - Dan 10v21 But I will<br />
shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of truth...That is what we are dealing<br />
with, THE TRUTH of Scripture, not some ‘Watchtower Organisation’ dreaming up<br />
fairy-tales to tell their boys and girls who can’t read the King’s English (KING James<br />
that is!!! KJV.)<br />
If <strong>Christ</strong> isn’t <strong>God</strong> it would be idolatry to address Him in prayer along<br />
with <strong>God</strong> the Father!<br />
Yet that is exactly what Paul does, addresses the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>… Now our Lord<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> himself, and <strong>God</strong>, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given<br />
us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Com<strong>for</strong>t your hearts, and<br />
stablish you in every good word and work. 2 Thes 2v16+17<br />
And what about Stephen in his prayer addressing <strong>God</strong>… And they stoned Stephen,<br />
calling upon <strong>God</strong>, and saying, Lord <strong>Jesus</strong>, receive my spirit. And he kneeled down,<br />
and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had<br />
said this, he fell asleep. Acts 7v59+60 Stephen called upon ‘<strong>God</strong>’ and said ‘Lord<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>!’ Why Because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
It is ONLY <strong>God</strong> who truly hears and answers our prayers!<br />
Read Paul’s following account; he besought the Lord (<strong>God</strong>) three times and receives<br />
an answer from WHOM (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) 2 Cor 12v7 And lest I should be exalted<br />
above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a<br />
thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted<br />
above measure.<br />
v8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.<br />
v9 And he said (<strong>Jesus</strong>) unto me, My grace is sufficient <strong>for</strong> thee: <strong>for</strong> my strength is<br />
made perfect in weakness. Most gladly there<strong>for</strong>e will I rather glory in my<br />
infirmities, that the power of <strong>Christ</strong> may rest upon me.<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> answers Paul’s prayer because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>! It is ONLY <strong>God</strong> who hears<br />
and answers our prayers, that is why we pray to the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> – 1 Cor 1v2<br />
Unto the church of <strong>God</strong> which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in <strong>Christ</strong><br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> our Lord, both theirs and ours: Rom 10v13 For whosoever shall call upon the<br />
name of the Lord (<strong>Jesus</strong>) shall be saved. Praying to saints (as the Roman Catholics<br />
do) or ‘elephants’ (as the Hindus do) or to Allah (as Muslims do) does NO GOOD<br />
whatsoever! There is ONE true <strong>God</strong> (yet three separate persons i.e. Father, Son and<br />
Holy Spirit) – see table 1 on the Trinity.<br />
27
The Bible says that …at the name of <strong>Jesus</strong> every knee should bow, of things in<br />
heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; Phil 2v10 Note EVERY<br />
KNEE! That includes every false ‘god’ of every cult and religion, including the Devil<br />
himself – they will ALL bow the knee to GOD the Son!<br />
Rev 5v12 Saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb (The Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> – <strong>God</strong><br />
the Son) that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and<br />
honour, and glory, and blessing.<br />
v13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth,<br />
and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and<br />
honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne (<strong>God</strong> the<br />
Father), and unto the Lamb (The Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> – <strong>God</strong> the Son) <strong>for</strong> ever and ever.<br />
v14 And the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and<br />
worshipped him (<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>) that liveth <strong>for</strong> ever and ever.<br />
The issues of LIFE and DEATH are with <strong>God</strong> alone!<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> assumes Divine Authority over DEATH! He said to the widows son… Luke<br />
7v14 And he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) came and touched the bier: and they that bare him stood still.<br />
And he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) said, Young man, I say unto thee, Arise.<br />
v15 And he that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him to his<br />
mother.<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> said to DEAD Lazarus… John 11v43 And when he (<strong>Jesus</strong>) thus had spoken, he<br />
(<strong>Jesus</strong>) cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come <strong>for</strong>th.<br />
v44 And he that was dead came <strong>for</strong>th, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and<br />
his face was bound about with a napkin. <strong>Jesus</strong> saith unto them, Loose him, and let<br />
him go.<br />
John 5v21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the<br />
Son quickeneth whom he will.<br />
WHY Because <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> Jehovah <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Only <strong>God</strong> is unchangeable!<br />
Mal 3v6 For I am the LORD, I change not; there<strong>for</strong>e ye sons of Jacob are not<br />
consumed.<br />
James 1v17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down<br />
from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.<br />
Heb 13v8 <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> the same yesterday, and to day, and <strong>for</strong> ever.<br />
There is just so much conclusive evidence from the Scriptures proving <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong><br />
<strong>God</strong>!<br />
28
(We have only looked at some of the most salient (most important) Scriptures, there<br />
are plenty more!)<br />
Acts 20v28 Take heed there<strong>for</strong>e unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the<br />
which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of <strong>God</strong>, which<br />
he (GOD i.e. <strong>Jesus</strong>) hath purchased with his own blood. <strong>God</strong> the Father never<br />
purchased the church with His own Blood; <strong>God</strong> the Son did!<br />
1 John 5v20 And we know that the Son of <strong>God</strong> is come, and hath given us an<br />
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,<br />
even in his Son <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>. This is the true <strong>God</strong>, and eternal life.<br />
Did you get that<br />
…even in his Son <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>. This is the true <strong>God</strong>…<br />
John 5v23 That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father.<br />
(Which cults do NOT do because they REJECT the TRUTH of the Scriptures!) He that<br />
honoureth not the Son honoureth not the Father which hath sent him.<br />
1 John 2v23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he<br />
that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.<br />
John 8v24 I said there<strong>for</strong>e unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: <strong>for</strong> if ye believe<br />
not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. Absolute proof that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong> <strong>God</strong>!<br />
Enough said!!!<br />
The following tables will also drive home with absolute certainty that <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>IS</strong><br />
<strong>God</strong>!<br />

with strong hand, and his arm shall rule<br />
<strong>for</strong> him: behold, his reward is with him,<br />
and his work be<strong>for</strong>e him.<br />
John 17v3 And this is life eternal, that they<br />
might know thee the only true <strong>God</strong>, and<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>, whom thou hast sent.<br />
Ps 91v4 He shall cover thee with his<br />

Isa 43v11 I, even I, am the LORD; and<br />

god but me: <strong>for</strong> there is no saviour beside<br />
me.<br />
Isa 49v26 And I will feed them that<br />
oppress thee with their own flesh; and<br />
they shall be drunken with their own<br />
blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh<br />
shall know that I the LORD am thy Saviour<br />
and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of<br />
Jacob.<br />

1 John 5v20 And we know that the Son of<br />
<strong>God</strong> is come, and hath given us an<br />
understanding, that we may know him<br />
that is true, and we are in him that is true,<br />
even in his Son <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>. This is the<br />
true <strong>God</strong>, and eternal life.<br />
Mat 23v37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou<br />
that killest the prophets, and stonest<br />
them which are sent unto thee, how often<br />
would I have gathered thy children<br />
together, even as a hen gathereth her<br />
chickens under her wings, and ye would<br />
not!<br />
Mat 1v21 And she shall bring <strong>for</strong>th a son,<br />
and thou shalt call his name JESUS: <strong>for</strong> he<br />
shall save his people from their sins.<br />
1 Tim 1v15 This is a faithful saying, and<br />
worthy of all acceptation, that <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
came into the world to save sinners; of<br />
whom I am chief. Heb 5v8 Though he<br />
were a Son, yet learned he obedience by<br />
the things which he suffered; v9 And being<br />
made perfect, he became the author of<br />
eternal salvation unto all them that obey<br />
him; 2 Pet 1v11 For so an entrance shall<br />
be ministered unto you abundantly into<br />
the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and<br />
Saviour <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>. Acts 4v12 Neither is<br />
there salvation in any other: <strong>for</strong> there is<br />
none other name under heaven given<br />
among men, whereby we must be saved.<br />
Titus 2v13 Looking <strong>for</strong> that blessed hope,<br />
and the glorious appearing of the great<br />
<strong>God</strong> and our Saviour <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>;<br />
John 1v4 In him was life; and the life was<br />
the light of men.
Isa 25v8 He will swallow up death in<br />
victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away<br />
tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of<br />
his people shall he take away from off all<br />
the earth: <strong>for</strong> the LORD hath spoken it.<br />
Isa 43v25 I, even I, am he that blotteth out<br />
thy transgressions <strong>for</strong> mine own sake, and<br />
will not remember thy sins.<br />
Num 14v18 The LORD is longsuffering, and<br />
of great mercy, <strong>for</strong>giving iniquity and<br />
transgression…<br />
Ps 107v29 He maketh the storm a calm, so<br />
that the waves thereof are still.<br />
Ps 119v11 Thy word have I hid in mine<br />
heart, that I might not sin against thee.<br />
Ps 23v1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall<br />
not want.<br />
2 Tim 1v10 But is now made manifest by<br />
the appearing of our Saviour <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>,<br />
who hath abolished death, and hath<br />
brought life and immortality to light<br />
through the gospel: Heb 2v14 Forasmuch<br />
then as the children are partakers of flesh<br />
and blood, he also himself likewise took<br />
part of the same; that through death he<br />
might destroy him that had the power of<br />
death, that is, the devil; v15 And deliver<br />
them who through fear of death were all<br />
their lifetime subject to bondage.<br />
1 John 1v7 But if we walk in the light, as<br />
he is in the light, we have fellowship one<br />
with another, and the blood of <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> his Son cleanseth us from all sin.<br />
Mark 2v5 When <strong>Jesus</strong> saw their faith, he<br />
said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy<br />
sins be <strong>for</strong>given thee.<br />
Mat 8v26 And he saith unto them, Why<br />
are ye fearful, O ye of little faith Then he<br />
arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea;<br />
and there was a great calm.<br />
Col 3v16 Let the word of <strong>Christ</strong> dwell in<br />
you richly…<br />
John 10v14 I am the good shepherd, and<br />
know my sheep, and am known of mine.<br />
v16 And other sheep I have, which are not<br />
of this fold: them also I must bring, and<br />
they shall hear my voice; and there shall<br />
be one fold, and one shepherd. 1 Pet 2v25<br />
For ye were as sheep going astray; but are<br />
now returned unto the Shepherd and<br />
Bishop of your souls.<br />

So in conclusion…<br />
You either believe the Bible or you don’t; you can’t just choose what bits you agree<br />
with and leave the rest. The cults like the JW’s will change everything and anything<br />
to suit the teachings of their false organisation: they have written their own<br />
CORRUPT translation called the ‘New World Translation’ based upon the most<br />
corrupt manuscripts that are known to man!!! All the cults and false religions attack<br />
the Deity of the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>; they either reduce Him to a good teacher, a<br />
prophet or a lesser ‘god.’ They are ALL liars and deceivers – DO NOT BE BEGUILED<br />
BY THEM! Take heed to the warning of Peter… 2 Pet 2v1 But there were false<br />
prophets (JW’s) also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers<br />
(Mormons) among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies,<br />
(<strong>Christ</strong>adelphians) even denying the Lord that bought them, (Unitarians) and bring<br />
upon themselves swift destruction (Roman Catholics). Read Rev 17 to see the end of<br />
Roman Catholicism and read Rev 20v15 to see the final destination of all those who<br />
reject <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> (Islamists/Muslims etc.) as their Lord and Saviour.<br />
If you are or have been a member of any cult or false religion GET OUT and STAY<br />
OUT - NOW! 2 Cor 6v17 Where<strong>for</strong>e come out from among them, and be ye<br />
separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,<br />
v18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the<br />
Lord Almighty.<br />
Find a church that teaches and preaches from the Authorized Version Bible, NOT<br />
some ‘bible-PERversion’ like the NIV, NKJV etc. Read the Bible, study the Bible,<br />
memorise the Bible and LIVE the Bible!<br />
We are living in the very last days be<strong>for</strong>e the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>’s return (the Rapture) -<br />
make sure you are living and working <strong>for</strong> Him, and whatever you do, reach the lost<br />
souls of this world with the Gospel!<br />
If you have read this and you are not a <strong>Christ</strong>ian or not sure whether you are a<br />
<strong>Christ</strong>ian, YOU CAN KNOW THAT YOU ARE SAVED! - 1 John 5v13 These things have I<br />
written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of <strong>God</strong>; THAT YE MAY KNOW<br />
THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of<br />
<strong>God</strong>.<br />
1 John 5v20 And we know that the Son of <strong>God</strong> is come, and hath given us an<br />
understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true,<br />
even in his Son <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>. This is the true <strong>God</strong>, and eternal life.<br />
You must realise that you are a sinner and it is ONLY the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> who can<br />
<strong>for</strong>give you! He died <strong>for</strong> you, was buried and rose again the third day. He took your<br />
35
sin and died in your place so you could be made the righteousness of <strong>God</strong> – 2 Cor<br />
5v21 For he hath made him to be sin <strong>for</strong> us, who knew no sin; that we might be<br />
made the righteousness of <strong>God</strong> in him. 1 John 3v5 And ye know that he was<br />
manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 1 Tim 1v15 This is a faithful<br />
saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong> came into the world to save<br />
sinners; of whom I am chief.<br />
You must also know this, YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF OR WORK FOR YOUR<br />
SALVATION (every cult and false religion teaches you have to WORK to be ‘saved’) -<br />
Eph 2v8+9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is<br />
the gift of <strong>God</strong>: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Rom 4v5 But to him that<br />
worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted<br />
<strong>for</strong> righteousness.<br />
Titus 3v5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his<br />
mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy<br />
Ghost;<br />
Gal 3v10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: <strong>for</strong> it is<br />
written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in<br />
the book of the law to do them.<br />
v11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of <strong>God</strong>, it is evident: <strong>for</strong>, The<br />
just shall live by faith.<br />
v12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.<br />
v13 <strong>Christ</strong> hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse <strong>for</strong> us:<br />
<strong>for</strong> it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:<br />
v14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong>;<br />
that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.<br />
Rom 10v4 For <strong>Christ</strong> is the end of the law <strong>for</strong> righteousness to every one that<br />
believeth.<br />
Gal 3v21 Is the law then against the promises of <strong>God</strong> <strong>God</strong> <strong>for</strong>bid: <strong>for</strong> if there had<br />
been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been<br />
by the law.<br />
22 But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> might be given to them that believe.<br />
23 But be<strong>for</strong>e faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which<br />
should afterwards be revealed.<br />
24 Where<strong>for</strong>e the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto <strong>Christ</strong>, that we might<br />
be justified by faith.<br />
25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.<br />
36
26 For ye are all the children of <strong>God</strong> by faith in <strong>Christ</strong> <strong>Jesus</strong>.<br />
Rom 7v4 Where<strong>for</strong>e, my brethren, ye also are become dead to the law by the body<br />
of <strong>Christ</strong>…<br />
Confess your sins to the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong> and ask Him to <strong>for</strong>give you! Ask Him to come and<br />
live within you and lead and guide you from this moment on!<br />
NOW start living <strong>for</strong> Him in everything you do! - 1 Cor 10v31 Whether there<strong>for</strong>e ye<br />
eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of <strong>God</strong>.<br />
Col 3v17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord<br />
<strong>Jesus</strong>, giving thanks to <strong>God</strong> and the Father by him.<br />
Col 3v23 And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men;<br />
And to finish with…<br />
One day you and I shall stand be<strong>for</strong>e <strong>Jesus</strong> <strong>Christ</strong> and have to give an account of our<br />
life to Him!<br />
Mat 28v18 And <strong>Jesus</strong> came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto<br />
me in heaven and in earth.<br />
John 5v22+27 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment<br />
unto the Son: And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he<br />
is the Son of man.<br />
Acts 17v31 Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world<br />
in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given<br />
assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.<br />
Don’t let the cults and false religions deceive you any longer, turn to the Lord <strong>Jesus</strong><br />
<strong>Christ</strong> with all your heart and ask Him to save you be<strong>for</strong>e it’s too late!<br />
I hope and pray this study has been a challenge and a blessing to you.<br />

You have enough ‘ammunition’ in this booklet to deal with every single cult and false<br />
religion!<br />
I would also suggest that you do some research into Bible versions; as cults, false<br />
religions and also some weak and shallow <strong>Christ</strong>ians think that the NIV, NKJV, NASB,<br />
