"We know that we have come to know him
IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS. The man who says, 'I know him,'
but does not do what he commands is a LIAR, AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM." (1 John 2:3,4)
But the seed on good soil stands for those with a noble and good heart, who hear the word, RETAIN IT, and by PERSEVERING produce a crop. (Luke 8:15)

No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only, who is at the Father's side, has made him known. (John 1:18)Though the word trinity does not appear in the Bible, the concept surely does.
Gen. 19:24:
Then the LORD rained down burning sulfur on Sodom and Gomorrah - from the LORD out of the heavens. (Gen 19:24)
Zech 3:2:
The LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, Satan! The LORD, who has chosen Jerusalem, rebuke you! Is not this man a burning stick snatched from the fire?" (Zec 3:2)(God chose Jerusalem, NOT Rome.)
Psalm 110:1:
Of David. A psalm. The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet." (Psa 110:1)The latter verse led to this unanswerable question for Jesus' opponents:
He said to them, "How is it then that David, speaking by the Spirit, calls him 'Lord'? For he says, "'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."' If then David calls him 'Lord,' how can he be his son?" (Mat 22:43-45)

Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. (Mat 28:18)Nonetheless, Muslims, JWs and other heretical groups claim the almighty power was only "given" to Jesus, in their efforts and mental gymnastics, to deny the deity of Christ. Such people do not realize that, at Mt. 28:18, Jesus got his power back, which he had temporarily set aside in order to become man - just for us. Ponder the following:
Jesus' Prayer:
And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. (John 17:5)
And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory." At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke. "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the LORD Almighty." (Isa 6:3-5)To the Church at Philippi:
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! (Phil 2:5-8)
For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; ALL THINGS WERE CREATED BY HIM AND FOR HIM. (Col 1:16)
...Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (1 Cor 1:24)
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. (John 1:1-3)At Mt. 28:18, Jesus was given that power back again, and God does NOT share his glory with another (Isa. 42:8).
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. (Mat 5:7)
He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery." (Mark 10:11,12)

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. It teaches us to say "No" to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live SELF-CONTROLLED, UPRIGHT AND GODLY LIVES in this present age, (Titus 2:11,12)As shown elsewhere, God does NOT want anyone to perish (1 Tim. 2:4; 2 Pet. 3:9; Acts 17:30), and, as stated above, his saving grace has indeed appeared to ALL MEN.
Furthermore, the same passage clarifies that SAVING GRACE is NOT a license to sin, as is wrongly taught by eternal security. Eternal security teaches backsliders remain saved in their vile wickedness and WITHOUT REPENTANCE! As a consequence, many who were once saved - but currently in a backslidden state on the road to hell - do not repent because they do not believe that they need to.
__________________________________
I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. (Luke 13:3)
I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish." (Luke 13:5)One might have to repent multiple times after initial salvation. Jesus told 5 of the 7 churches in Asia to repent (Rev. 2 and 3).

Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of GODLINESS: He was manifested in the flesh, vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory. (1 Tim. 3:16, ESV)

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. (Mat 6:6)**Prayer is a form of worship. To pray to Mary, the saints or angels (or any creature) is idolatry.

A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD-- (Isa 11:1,2)That truth about God is almost universally unknown!

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [there's that word Elohim is used and it is PLURAL], the LORD is one."So here we find out that YHWH Elohim is one. This word "one" shows compound unity. You can draw a little circle around the word "one" and put off into the margin of your Bible, Gen. 2:24 and under that reference write, ECHOD, because that's the Hebrew word.
Gen. 2:24 is a verse that certainly most of us are acquainted with:
For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become ONE flesh.There's the compound unity. The same exact thing that YHWH is.

If a man commits adultery with another man's wife - with the wife of his neighbor - both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. (Lev 20:10)
If a man strikes someone with an iron object so that he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be put to death. (Num 35:16)
If a man gives his neighbor silver or goods for safekeeping and they are stolen from the neighbor's house, the thief, if he is caught, must pay back double. (Exo 22:7)Those same sins (and types of people) are mentioned (and others not cited here) in 1 Cor. 6:9,10, Gal. 5:19-21, Eph. 5:5-7, Rev. 21:8 and Mark 7:20-23, citing those who will be made unclean, will NOT inherit God's kingdom, but instead go to the lake of fire - IF they die as such.
It does NOT matter what any preacher says about the above or what you want to believe; it only matters that YOU are not listed in those passages. Walk holy and set apart from the world to enter Paradise after your death. If you are a Christian, HOLD ON:
...be on your guard so that you may not be carried away by the error of lawless men and fall from your secure position. (2 Pet 3:17)

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful.... (1 Pet 3:3-5)
Before a girl's turn came to go in to King Xerxes, she had to complete twelve months of beauty treatments prescribed for the women, six months with oil of myrrh and six with perfumes and cosmetics. (Est 2:12)Esther went through that ritual.

The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap ETERNAL LIFE. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP. (Gal 6:8,9)
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. (Gal 5:24)
You are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus, (Gal 3:26)** To the same churches, and at the same time, those vital truths about salvation are taught, and they complement one another. Ponder carefully those passages and MEMORIZE them. They are important to know in our dark day.
** Furthermore, in Acts and 1 Thessalonians, these likewise are shown:
I have declared to both Jews and Greeks that they must turn to God in repentance and have faith in our Lord Jesus. (Acts 20:21)
...I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds. (Acts 26:20)
...you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God, (1 Th 1:9)
(BTW: The Hebrew Roots, Torah Messianic Jews tend to hate the Book of Galatians, for it demolishes their beliefs.)

I served the Lord with great humility AND WITH TEARS, although I was severely tested by the plots of the Jews. (Acts 20:19)
So be on your guard! Remember that for THREE YEARS I NEVER STOPPED WARNING EACH OF YOU NIGHT AND DAY WITH TEARS. (Acts 20:31)** The latter reference and mention of warnings were about FALSE TEACHINGS, thus reflecting the DANGER of religious deception.
False teachers are referred to as: hired hands (Jn. 10:13), mute dogs that don't bark (Isa. 56:10), blind guides (Mt. 15:14) and shepherds that feed only themselves (Jude 1:12), among other things.

When David returned to his palace in Jerusalem, he took the TEN CONCUBINES he had left to take care of the palace and put them in a house under guard. He provided for them, but did not lie with them. They were kept in confinement till the day of their death, living as widows. (2 Sam 20:3)He could have had more of each. Perhaps, his example led his son Solomon to this sad end:
He [Solomon] had seven hundred wives of royal birth and three hundred concubines, and his wives led him astray. (1 Ki 11:3)

** Question: WAS STEPHEN SINLESS TOO, SINCE HE ALSO WAS "FULL OF GOD'S GRACE"?
Now Stephen, a man full of God's grace and power, did great wonders and miraculous signs among the people. (Acts 6:8)The truth is: Stephen was MORE than Mary - performing miracles and dying a martyr. John the Baptist was also GREATER THAN MARY - Mt. 11:11.

WITH FLATTERY HE WILL CORRUPT THOSE WHO HAVE VIOLATED THE COVENANT, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him. (Dan 11:32)
I urge you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. For such people are not serving our Lord Christ, but their own appetites. By smooth TALK AND FLATTERY THEY DECEIVE THE MINDS OF NAIVE PEOPLE. (Rom 16:17,18)
These men are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and FLATTER OTHERS FOR THEIR OWN ADVANTAGE. (Jude 1:16)

"We will certainly do everything we said we would: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and will pour out drink offerings to her just as we and our fathers, our kings and our officials did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. (Jer. 44:17)
He did away with the pagan priests appointed by the kings of Judah to burn incense on the high places of the towns of Judah and on those around Jerusalem--those who burned incense to Baal, to the sun and moon, to the constellations and to all the starry hosts. (2 Ki 23:5)
Will you steal and murder, commit adultery and perjury, burn incense to Baal and follow other gods you have not known, (Jer. 7:9)
You have as many gods as you have towns, O Judah; and the altars you have set up to burn incense to that shameful god Baal are as many as the streets of Jerusalem.' (Jer. 11:13)
The LORD Almighty, who planted you, has decreed disaster for you, because the house of Israel and the house of Judah have done evil and provoked me to anger by burning incense to Baal. (Jer. 11:17)
The Babylonians who are attacking this city will come in and set it on fire; they will burn it down, along with the houses where the people provoked me to anger by burning incense on the roofs to Baal and by pouring out drink offerings to other gods. (Jer 32:29)
Then Paul and Barnabas answered them boldly: "We had to speak the word of God to you first. Since you reject it and do not consider yourselves worthy of eternal life, we now turn to the Gentiles. (Acts 13:46)

JESUS has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as THE BUILDER OF A HOUSE HAS GREATER HONOR than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but GOD IS THE BUILDER OF EVERYTHING. (Heb 3:3,4)
For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and BUILDER IS GOD. (Heb 11:10)JESUS is the builder of everything - Col. 1:16. He, therefore, is God; YHWH created everything ALONE and BY HIMSELF:
This is what the LORD says - your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, who has made all things, who ALONE stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth BY MYSELF, (Isa 44:24)

In his days Judah will be saved and Israel will live in safety. This is the name by which he will be called: The LORD Our Righteousness. (Jer 23:6)Jesus will be called: "YHWH Our Righteousness" then. That truth is substantiated here:
It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God - that is, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, holiness and redemption. (1 Cor 1:30)Is that your Jesus OR do you have a fake jesus ("another Jesus" - 2 Cor. 11:4)?
