Elder Ifeanyi Ndianaefo on Deuteronomy 6 - 10 years ago
Deuteronomy 6 is a revelation of whom God is and His will and purpose for man men women God made man to enjoy life in this world at the same time be part of His kingdom yet to come on one simple instruction obey my laws and commandments All what man need to be secure joyful peaceful fruitful in all areas of life is obedience to simple instruction from the LORD the creator of all creatures It pains d Lord that man is not connecting His blessings because of disobedience Yahweh bless you as you take decision from now to obey our LORD instructions for your own good
(Verse 8) "The Lord protects his people and gives victory to his Anointed King."
The Anointed King is God Himself,Jesus Christ. God often speaks of Himself as if He is another person, but He is not. He does this to confound those who think they are wise, and to uplift those whose hearts are pure. In the New Testament we see the same thing when He speaks of Himself as the Son of man, as in "When the Son of Man comes."
Verse 9 says to the Anointed king, "Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession! Lead them like a Shepard, and carry them forever in your arms." This speaks of God as Christ saving us as the Good Shepard of John 10.
Let's say it like this. David knew there was only one God. So he had to know that the Lord and the Anointed King are one and the same. In other words, David would never have been guilty of saying there are two Gods, or that God is two separate beings. We must get out of the habit of thinking this way:"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! This is recorded in Deuteronomy 6:4, and it is still true.
This verse reminds us, that God-our Creator and Supreme Ruler of this universe, wants us to love Him unconditionally. He wants us to submit to Him totally without any reservation. A total surrender is all that He needs from us, being His created beings. He wants the best from us in all areas of our lives. And when this happens, only then can he impart to us His attributes which will flow and radiate to our neighbors.
In reading William B.'s comments, in particular his final words, "Thank you Lord for allowing me to type these words" brought me to tears. We truly need to be thankful the Lord is there for us and loves us so as we could never survive on our own accord. We do need the Lord as he truly wants our love.
"The Lord our God is one Lord." This means that we must never set up a mental image of God as 3 separate beings and call each one God. This is something the pagans do. They have many gods, all separate from each other. And if it is wrong for them, then it is doubly wrong for God's people. It is even more wrong because this verse says that we should know better.
What I am saying is, if you think you have 2 or more gods, then you do. That is pure paganism at its best. And something that is an abomination to God.
It is pure paganism because it comes from the mind of Satan, and not from God. God's thoughts for us is this, there is only one God. And we are to love him only.
Let's say it plainly: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all the same God. These 3 persons are distinct in their ***ignments, but still the same substance or entity. This is what it means by "Let us make man. ..."
Jesus, the Son, then, is the distinct way or personality through whom God visited us in the Old and New Testament. And the way he died on the cross.
Commenting to Muhammad Kalam's Deuteronomy Chapter 6 comment about verse 4 on 12/22/2012, 11:28am...
No man can even / ever see God or know of God unless he be of Prophet to do God's work whether before or after the Christ. Therefore, believing in the Christ is the only way that any man or woman will ever come close to knowing what Heaven will ever be like! So, no one can ***ume that the Christ is not of the one God!
The Lord thy God (Lord of life, God of all created and evolved). God gave us a Heart when we love the Lord God with all our heart, then we are truly alive; for he gave us a heart to love him with all our Soul, Our entire being (all our mind and senses). You know God's entire being; life-love force encompasses the universe, eternity, surely a fragment of our mind, heart and soul is what he gave us to (look at all we�ve made for this life on Earth that God gave us). Haven�t you done all that you could with all your strength and might. Lord God, let us all by evolvement or your creativeness, LOVE YOU with all the heart and the souls you gave us to live in, and with all our might to care for the Earth that is not ours but God�s. Do you have a mind? Or do you mind knowing that the power of our mind was given to us. Do you know why? Because when your mind is on the LORD THY GOD WHO MADE US ALL IN HIS IMAGE then you shall surely know the meaning of the greatest command ever spoken by his Son. How much does God love you, he gave us to know the meaning of love. His son gave his soul (life for us to his Father), so we could keep ours. The one thing on Yeshua's (God's Son) mind was that he did this from his heart and what did he have in mind when he gave all his strength and might on the torture stake. Next time you hold a child in your arms you may see the answer clearly. For God's Love goes on forever. Are you ready to step into eternity with his God�s son, in the purest words ever spoken. Then Love the Lord thy God with all you heart, for then Yeshua becomes part of your living soul and with all your might and strength you have left. Say Yes Lord God I love you! Why? because Eternity waits for those who can live by this greatest commandment! Have faith in the LORD GOD'S LOVE. YOU KNOW THAT GOD ALWAYS wins. Why? Because he said so, GOD'S LOVE ALWAYS WINS. Thank you Lord for allowing me to type these words.
I�m still learning and believing the word "trinity" is not written in my anywhere BIBLE, red or black. Deuteronomy 6:4, HE (JESUS) is not limited by space or time.
This scripture is saying to love Jesus with all, give him your all. These are the three parts of you the devil wants mind, soul, might. God is not asking you, he is commanding you to do this. I want your all I want you to love me with all you have in you. In Matthew Jesus said it again, Matthew 22:37-39, Jesus said to love the Lord God with all your heart, with all your soul, all your mind, with everything you have in you.
To love the Lord thy God is a total experience encompassing all of a person; the mental, physical, social and spiritual. We are His children who can only touch him through our souls, consequently, our love must equally encompass with nothing held back. So how do we accomplish such a feat? Only through total love and submission, i.e. giving to Him on all levels of our formative existence. So love Him then love Him some more.
To Muhammed Kalid, my friend you are mistaken. Isaiah 9 Clearly states "unto us a child is given, unto us a Son is born... and you shall call him Wonderful, Counselor, the everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace". This verse clearly describes Jesus the "child given" as the everlasting Father. Jesus himself in John 8:58 refers to Himself as "I Am" as used in the book of Exodus. In John 10:30 Jesus says "I and my Father are one". In Revelation Chapter 3 Jesus refers to himself as the Alpha and the Omega, with no beginning and no end. Only Almighty God has no beginning. Even the Qur'an states that Jesus is the greatest prophet. I do not for a moment disrespect Muhammad in saying this. You may check for yourself. May God be with you and continue to open your heart to Him.
Timothy Wayne George on Deuteronomy 6 - 12 years ago
Dear Sir, Jesus was born of the Blessed Virgin Mary by the Holy Spirit, so that He could taste death on the cross for everyone. When Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by Satan, He said worship God only, and Him shall you serve. Jesus told Thomas after His resurrection to touch his side, and the nail prints, then Thomas replied my Lord, and my God. Jesus when He came to earth, He set aside some of his rights as God, but He is fully God, and man. He will come again this time as King of King, and Lord of Lords. We pray that you will receive Him as your Savoir. May the Lord bless you.
Make of these what you will: I hope you find your way. Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
I extremely agree that Bible says God is one. But extremely disagree that Jesus Christ (peace be upon him) is Almighty God. Not only the Glorious Qur'an says but also the Holy Bible says that! And there isn't a single verse of the Holy Bible which says that Jesus Christ, or himself said "I'm God" or he said "Worship me". I challenge all Christians on that.
Chastity and Sister Vicky, not all get speaking in tongues! Read 1 Corinthians 13:8-10 and you�ll see that tongues cease when that which is perfect is come (THE BIBLE), then that sign of tongues is not needed! I have been in plenty Pentecostal churches and everyone was speaking tongues, none was interpreting! Apostle Paul said if none was there to interpret, they were to keep silent. God is not author of confusion!
Jesus said in these verse! Go ye therefore and teach all nations baptizing them in the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Jesus did not mention NAMES but name (SINGULAR) (Proper Noun) Father, Son and Holy Spirit is NOT A NAME they are ALL TITLES! It is the name of God (JESUS CHRIST) that we should be baptize and not the TITLE for there is ONLY ONE GOD ( Deuteronomy 6:4; 1 John 5:20; Isaiah 43:10) Jehovah is Jehovah Saviour Jesus Christ revealed in the New Testament that is why there is NOT without this the plan will not be fulfilled, ( Gal 4:3-4) Fullness of time has come God sent forth his Son born of a woman ( Isaiah 7:14) God will give you a "SIGN" ( Isaiah 9:6) This boy will be given a name Emmanuel ( Matthew 1:20-23) That it is the Angel Gabriel who gave the name of this child and his name is Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins. That is why there is power in his name! Jesus will SET YOU FREE ( John 8:32) for Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father except through ME (Jesus). Because BAPTISM refers to REMISSION OF SINS, without baptism our SINS are not forgiven and our soul is destined to hell, that is why He said in Romans 6:23: ��For the wages of Sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through our Lord Jesus Christ��. This is God's Plan of salvation. The offering of Bulls and animals is not good in the sight of God that is why He sent his Son born of a woman to redeem those who are under the law ( Galatians 4:3-4). And God is Spirit ( John 4:24), He came into world as a sinful flesh to die on the cross for our sins. That is why that in the name of Jesus there is Remission of Sins ( Acts 2:38); In the name of Jesus there is salvation ( Acts 4:12); in the name of Jesus there is healing. In other words without this process our soul will not be saved. Our faith must have WORKS ( James 2:24) God bless you all.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other NAME under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
There's only ONE saving NAME !! And that is Jesus!
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Ephesians 4:5 ONE LORD, ONE FAITH, ONE BAPTISM !
VERSE 6 - ONE GOD AND FATHER OF ALL,
John 1:1-14 ~~ 1 Timothy 3:16
God was manifest in the flesh !!
Their is only ONE saving name and when Jesus told the disciples to teach ALL nations baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: -20- Teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever I have commanded you.
In Luke 24:47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
And now into verse 38-39
Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
A Theological Investigations, reputed Catholic scholar Karl Rahner states that �in
St.�John�s First Epistle ὁ θεός [�the God�] so often certainly means the Father that it must be understood of the Father throughout the Epistle.� Also, the French Protestant Bible du Centenaire concedes in a footnote that the Greek allows for a non-Trinitarian translation. Incidentally, it not be forgotten that, probably in the fourth century�C.E., an overzealous Trinitarian Latin scribe added to 1� John 5:7 the words �the Father, the Word and the holy spirit; and these three are one.� This addition, known technically as the �Johannine Comma,� was protected by the Vatican until
1927, in spite of the fact that even some Catholic scholars had raised doubts about its authenticity
as early as the sixth century. This dishonest insertion shows the lengths to which Trinitarians will
go in their efforts to prove their doctrine
God�s Name and the Trinity
Something that makes God very real to Jehovah�s Witnesses is their knowledge and regular use of his personal name, Jehovah. ( Psalm 83:18) When a member of one of Christendom�s churches reads in his Bible the anonymous expression �the name of the Lord,� it means little or nothing to him. Similarly, when he prays �hallowed be thy name,� the chances are that he does not know what name he is praying about. Jehovah�s Witnesses know their God, they know his name and, like the psalmist and Jesus himself, they love their heavenly Father�s name.� Psalm 5:11,�12; John 12:28; 17:6,�26.
Since God�s personal name appears literally thousands of times in the original-language Bible, why has it been expunged from many of Christendom�s Bible translations, and why is it never used by the hundreds of millions of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant �Christians�? Could the dogma of the Trinity have anything to do with this most extraordinary religious fact?
Interestingly, the Catholic Jerusalem Bible renders Deuteronomy 6:4: �Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one Yahweh.� And a footnote, after giving another possible translation, states: �But it is more likely that we have here a declaration of monotheistic faith.� This, then, is the one God of whom Jesus, speaking as a Jew, stated: �We worship what we know.� ( John 4:22) And this Catholic Bible admits that the name of that one God is Yahweh, or Jehovah. Now, according to Trinitarian theology, Yahweh, or Jehovah, is the name of the God of the Hebrew patriarchs and the Jews, the God whom Jesus came to reveal as �the Father,� or �God the Father.� It follows that for Trinitarians the divine name Yahweh, or Jehovah, designates only one of the supposed �Three Persons� of the �Godhead.� The �Second Person� has a name (Jesus), but the �Third Person� is the anonymous �Holy Spirit.� Christendom�s churches cannot logically use a name for God that does not designate the entire �Godhead.� So their members are condemned to worship a mysterious triune God that has no name.Yet, instinctively, many Catholics feel the need to worship someone they can know and name. This, no doubt, explains why many of them worship Jesus or even Mary. This same instinct to worship a God one can name is even reflected in religious architecture. In scores of Catholic chapels, churches and cathedrals in France and other countries, above the high altar or elsewhere there is a gilded, rayed nimbus representing divine glory. In the center is a triangle, symbolizing the Trinity. Paradoxically, inside the triangle is the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew consonants of God�s name, Jehovah. But how many Catholics today realize that it is God�s name?
�One Lord, Jesus Christ�
After having stated: �There is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him,� the apostle Paul added: �And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are, and we through him.� (1�Corinthians 8:6) Jehovah�s Witnesses subscribe to that further statement. Jehovah, the Father, is the Source; Jesus, God�s �only-begotten son,� the �firstborn of all creation,� is the means by which the Father accomplishes His will.� John 1:2, 3,�14; Colossians 1:15,�16.
What i get out of it is the more you seek the wisdom of God, the more knowledge he allow's you to recieve.And this fact is for anyone who think's that the world is billion's of year's old,it's not!If you read the word of God(Bible)He (GOD) say's that the world is about six thousand year's old.Were coming upon the seventh,according to the word of God.Another thing is,Jesus is God( Isaiah 9:6), Deuteronomy 6:4, John 10:30, 1 Timothy 3:16, Ephesians 4:4-6,ect. it states in the Bible about 2,800 times that there is only ONE God!Jesus is the saviour and there is only one( Isaiah 43:11),and again in Luke 1:47...God my saviour..It seem's pretty straight forward to me,"My sheep hear my voice",are you hearing the word of God? Don't let man's interpetation miss lead you"sheep in wolves clothing",this once saved, alway's saved stuff.Even Paul said"I die daily",so what do you think he's talking about?Do youself a favor,and repent,be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sin's( Acts 2:38,39)that's the"KEYS" to heaven,Jesus gave them to Peter and taght him how to start the"church".Any other way is a thief and a robber,only the straight and the narrow way lead's to salvation.All the baptizum's in the Bible( Acts 8,10,12,18,22...)are in the NAME of The Lord Jesus Christ,not in the title's father,son,and the Holy Ghost.Stop and pray...in the name of Jesus to lead you down the right path!Has anyone ever prayed father,son,and Holy Spirit for a healing and recieved one?There is NO power in the title's!All you do,in word and or deed, do in the NAME of Jesus Christ,that's what God's word instruct's us to do!Do you speak in toung's?Jesus' mother did,and so did the first 120 that gladly recieved the Holy Spirit,in the upper room where Jesus told them to wait for the promise of the Father,Who showed up?Jesus did!!!Not the first part of a three-som,or the second,or the third,it was ALL JESUS and even Thomas said after he doughted,"My Lord and My God!There wasn't 2 Spirit's standing there!Just Jesus,and if you don't believe this salvation message, then you will die in your sin's,according to the "WORD of GOD",you have 2 ear's to hear with,listen...God is calling you.............................
And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart.--v. 6. It's good to teach our children to memorize scripture but it isn't enough. We need to be teaching them why these scriptures are important.
AMEN! AMEN! Im gonna throw you a "Say That" One God. Jesus is God robed in flesh. I have never understood how someone thats says they truly love God cant see that there is only ONE. Only one way to glory. You must repent, be baptized in the Name of Jesus Christ, and you will recieve the Holy Ghist with the evidence of speaking in a new tounge. If anyone can explaine the trinity to me plaese do. If u get confused tring...... just take about three days and fast, pray for the true revelation of the God head and then read your bible and you will be brought in to the wonderful light of oness. Its all in Jesus.... the fullness of the God head is all in Him.
The Anointed King is God Himself,Jesus Christ. God often speaks of Himself as if He is another person, but He is not. He does this to confound those who think they are wise, and to uplift those whose hearts are pure. In the New Testament we see the same thing when He speaks of Himself as the Son of man, as in "When the Son of Man comes."
Verse 9 says to the Anointed king, "Save your people! Bless Israel, your special possession! Lead them like a Shepard, and carry them forever in your arms." This speaks of God as Christ saving us as the Good Shepard of John 10.
Let's say it like this. David knew there was only one God. So he had to know that the Lord and the Anointed King are one and the same. In other words, David would never have been guilty of saying there are two Gods, or that God is two separate beings. We must get out of the habit of thinking this way:"Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! This is recorded in Deuteronomy 6:4, and it is still true.
God blesses those who listen!
What I am saying is, if you think you have 2 or more gods, then you do. That is pure paganism at its best. And something that is an abomination to God.
It is pure paganism because it comes from the mind of Satan, and not from God. God's thoughts for us is this, there is only one God. And we are to love him only.
Let's say it plainly: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are all the same God. These 3 persons are distinct in their ***ignments, but still the same substance or entity. This is what it means by "Let us make man. ..."
Jesus, the Son, then, is the distinct way or personality through whom God visited us in the Old and New Testament. And the way he died on the cross.
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
No man can even / ever see God or know of God unless he be of Prophet to do God's work whether before or after the Christ.
