The Godhead

Colossians 2:9, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.”
Skeptics of the Word of God often like to point out that the word “Trinity”
is not found in the Scriptures; however, the Word “Godhead” most certainly is. We
find the “Godhead” mentioned in Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, and Colossians
2:9. Colossians 2:9 states it all so well... “For in Him [Christ]
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Literally, the Godhead
came to this earth incarnate in the man Christ Jesus. Jesus was 100% man,
and 100% God. Jesus did not give up His deity when He came to the
earth. According to Hebrews 5:8, Jesus humbled Himself to the Father in
Heaven, even being obedient unto death (the crucifixion). The
Doctrine Of God The Father (Dr. Jeff Owens)
We read in Genesis 1:26, “And God said, Let
us make man in our image, after our likeness...” “Us”
and “Our” are plural in the Hebrew. Clearly, God has manifest (or revealed)
Himself to mankind as a Godhead, i.e., one God (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet three
distinct individual Persons. It may not make good math; but, it definitely
makes good Bible. I didn't author the Bible, God did. Either you believe
that the Bible is God's Word, or you don't.
We plainly read in
Matthew 28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Here we see
all three individual members of the Godhead. Again in Luke 3:22
we see all three individual members of the Godhead, “And the Holy Ghost descended in
a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which
said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.”
These Scriptures cannot be thrown away. Several false religions, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, deny the
Godhead. The argument is that the Trinity originated in pagan ancient
Babylon. However, a distinct difference must be noted between the masculine
Godhead of the Word of God, and the pagan goddess worship which originated
with Nimrod and Semiramis. It was not Christianity that imitated paganism;
but paganism Christianity. Furthermore, there is no ancient pagan religion
which taught the Biblical doctrine of the Godhead. There are an
abundance of Scriptural references to “God the father,” and to the “Son of God.” Clearly, they are two distinguished individuals.
The Godhead is Comprised of Three
Distinct, Individual, Persons
John 1:1-2, “In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and
the Word was God. The same was in the beginning
with God.” How can the Word (Jesus - John 1:14) be WITH God and also BE
God? The answer is THE GODHEAD!!! Jesus is a member of the Godhead, yet
individually exists as God the Son. 1st 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.” Amen!
The Pentecostal Oneness False
Doctrine Debunked (by Pastor Steven L. Anderson)
Notice the clear distinction between God the
Father and God the Son. John 5:22, “For the Father judgeth no man,
but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.”
The oneness Pentecostal (also called Modalism) errantly claims that God puts
on different hats and is really the SAME person, but that is NOT Biblical.
The Bible teaches that there is “ONE GOD” (Deuteronomy 6:4), Who exists as a
Godhead, comprised of three individual, distinct, persons (Romans 1:20; Acts
17:29 and Colossians 2:9 - King James Bible only).
Again, carefully notice the clear distinction
between God the Father and God the Son. John 5:30-32, “I
can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my
judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but
the will of the Father which hath sent me. If I bear witness of
myself, my witness is not true. There is another that beareth witness of me;
and I know that the witness which he witnesseth of me is true.” These
are two distinct individuals.
In the following passage of Scripture, we see
all three distinct, individual, members of the Godhead. John 14:12-16,
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I
do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go
unto my Father. And whatsoever ye shall
ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in
the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I
will do it. If ye love me, keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever.” Repeatedly in the Holy Bible we see the
individual members of the Godhead presented. These are three individual
members of the Godhead, which is God.
Jehovah's Witness' religious cult deny the
Godhead (aka, Trinity). JW's deny the person of the Holy Spirit. They deny
the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. JW's deny the deity of Jesus, teaching
the heresy that Jesus and Lucifer are brothers. JW's teach that Michael the
archangel became incarnate as Jesus, and only in that sense as an angel was
God's Son. Jehovah's Witnesses blatantly deny the doctrine of the Godhead.
This means JW's are not saved. No one who denies the Godhead is saved. A
person may be saved and not have yet learned the truth of the Godhead, but
once they are taught the Scriptures, they will receive it if they are truly
saved. Likewise, no one who denies Jesus' virgin birth, bodily resurrection
or deity is saved. JW's also deny Jesus' bodily resurrection.
John 16:12-16, “I have yet many things to
say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 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. He shall glorify me: for he shall
receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things
that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall
take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. A little while, and ye shall not
see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because
I go to the Father.”
John 16:32, “Behold, the hour cometh, yea,
is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall
leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is
with me.” As you can plainly see from the Word of God, there is a
mountain of evidence that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Spirit are three individual personalities, and not merely different hats
that God wears. Modalism is of the Devil. The Pentecostal oneness teaching
is a false doctrine. The one God of the Bible exists as three individual
persons, all unique and separate in function and personality. The Bible even
calls the doctrine of the Godhead a mystery. Colossians 2:2, “That their
hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches
of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of
the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.”
Thankfully, we don't have to understand the doctrine of the Godhead to
be saved, but we WILL believe it if we are saved.
God the Father Loved God the Son Before
the Foundation of the World
John
17:24, “Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me
where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me:
for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.”
In this amazing passage of Scripture we learn that God the Father loved
God the Son before the foundation of the world. Clearly, they were not the
same person. There is not a more satanic movement today than the Oneness
cult, called modalism, who deny that Jesus has a separate body apart
from God the Father. According to false prophets like Pastor Tyler Baker and
Missionary Garrett Kirchway, only God has a body in Heaven.
The inspired Word of God (King James Bible)
plainly teaches that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God (John 3:16), who
raised up in a glorified physical body (John 20:15-17), appeared to several
hundred people in His resurrected body (1st Corinthians 15:6), ascended into
Heaven in a physical body (Acts 1:9), and will one day return in that same
physical body (Acts 1:11; Revelation 1:7).
Jesus' Bodily Resurrection Teaches
Immortality For The Whole Man In Both Body And Soul!!!
Does
God Actually Exist In Three Persons? (a helpful quote from Dr. John
Rice on the Trinity)
THE
UNITY OF GOD (There's 1 eternally existing God in 3 persons: Father,
Son and Holy Spirit)
John 17:24 is biblical proof
of the Trinity. In order for Jesus to be the OBJECT of God the Father's
great love, then He had to be completely separate from the Father in His
person. Likewise, God the Father loves the Holy Spirit, and the Holy
Spirit loves the Son, and the Son loves God the Father, and the Holy
Spirit loves the Father, and the Son loves the Holy Spirit. In order for
love to exist at all, there MUST be an object of that love!!! This is
proof of the Godhead, i.e., Trinity.
The Godhead is Always Masculine in
Gender, Never Feminine
Also, please understand that the Biblical
Godhead is
100%
totally masculine. There is NO feminine aspect of the Godhead as
feminist
theology, New Agers, witches, occultists and spiritists teach. Satan has
been relentlessly attacking the Bible in these Last Days,
producing the NIV 2011
which removes the pronoun “he” concerning the Holy Spirit in John 14:26.
Satan's new transgendered Bible
caters to homosexuals and feminists.
Also, we see the individuality of the Holy
Spirit in Luke 12:10, “And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him
that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven.” Acts
5:32, “And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the
Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” Notice
the word “Whom,” not “it.” The Holy Spirit is a Person. In John
16:13 we read, “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.” Six times in John 16:13, the Holy
Spirit is referred to as the masculine pronoun “He.”
The Godhead is a mystery. We read of “the
mystery of God” in Colossians 2:2. You either believe the Bible is the
Word of God, or you don't. By the way, many modern corrupted Bibles
have entirely removed the word “Godhead,” such as in the New International
Version (NIV). This is a direct attack on Christ's deity. Also,
wherever the King James Bible says that someone “worshipped” Jesus, the NIV
changes it to “knelt” instead. How deceitful.
Colossians 2:2 refers to the Godhead as
“the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ.” Isn't that a
beautiful Scripture? I really want you to learn this Bible Verse, because it
is the heart of the matter. The Godhead is a mystery. It's ok not to
understand everything. Most people can't explain how a brown cow can eat
green grass and produce white milk, but that yellow butter on your biscuits
sure tastes good!
Thankfully we don't have to understand God to
be saved, we just need to believe (trust) upon His only begotten Son Who died, was
buried and rose again three days later for our
sins (1st Corinthians 15:1-4; John 20:31; Acts 10:43).
The NIV Brutally Attacks Jesus'
Deity
I recently received a letter from
a man, who quoted me Philippians 2:6 from the New International Version
(NIV) of the Bible, claiming that Jesus was
not the manifestation of the Godhead. Here's Philippians 2:6 from the
King James Bible...
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not
robbery to be equal with God.”
Now here's the damnable NIV...
“Who, being in very nature
God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.”
Do you see why so many people are being deceived by Satan nowadays? Jesus
Christ is the manifestation of the Godhead... “And without
controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the
flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the
Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Colossians
2:9 so beautifully states... “For in Him [Jesus]
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” If you want to come
to the God of the Bible, then you MUST come only through Jesus Christ, Who
is the beloved Son of God.
The GODHEAD is revealed (or manifest) in the
Person, life and earthly ministry of the precious Lord Jesus Christ.
“Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He
is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the
Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath
the Father also” (1st John 2:22,23).
If I had
my way, I would burn every New International Version of the Bible in
existence! I would burn every copy of Today's International Version
as well. I would burn every copy of the corrupted New King James Version. In fact, I would burn every perverted Bible out there, including the
Living Bible and Good News for Modern Man. I would burn the
Revised Standard Version. God only wrote one book folks! Matthew
4:4 commands us to live by “every word” of the Bible. To do that we
must have an “every word” Bible. We have it in the 1611 King James Bible which has
been tested and proven trustworthy over the centuries.
The Bible, God's Holy Word,
Proclaims the GODHEAD
This is the doctrine of the
Trinity. Critics of the Bible like to point out that the word “Trinity” is
not in the Bible. Albeit, the word “Godhead” is in the Bible, i.e., if you
have a trustworthy King James Bible. The word Godhead is found in 3
places (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20 and Colossians 2:9).
Deceitfully, the New
International Version [NIV] and all modern corrupt versions of the Bible
totally remove the word GODHEAD. This is blatant corruption of the
Scriptures.
Deuteronomy 6:4 proclaims that
there is one God. Yet the Bible manifests God in 3 Persons of God the
Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. Matthew 28:19, “Go ye therefore,
and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
The teaching of the Godhead is a
fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith.
Acts 17:29, “Forasmuch then
as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead
is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.”
Romans 1:20, “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.”
Colossians 2:9, “For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
Beware of any false minister or false religion
that denies the Godhead.
