No Change & No Birth Trinitarianism claims that Jesus is God. However, there are a couple of problems with this. 1. God can't change Unless "God the Son" was "the son" in the flesh for all eternity, there’s a contradiction because God doesn’t change (Mal 3:6). For him to "add humanity" to something he had for all eternity, so that he might step into our world and "take on human limitations," means he's changed. 2. God can't be born Of course, this contradicts basic ideas of birth, conception, and begetting.  "Begotten" means "only born,"[1] and is specific to Jesus as God's son because he was the only human conceived directly by God's Holy Spirit. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. [2] Holy Spirit will come upon you, and power of the Most high will overshadow y...

The Nature of Man and State of the Dead In this study, we’re going to simply list certain facts related to the “Nature of Man,” “Death,” and the “State of the Dead” and supply the Scripture references. These three topics are very closely related, and if we don’t understand them from a scriptural perspective, then we’re not going to understand them at all.   There’s a lot of confusion about this topic. I know from personal experience. About two years ago, I was challenged to really study these issues more in-depth than I had before, and my conclusions were the opposite of what I’d believed for many years prior. The truth is simple, not confusing, because God isn’t the author of confusion. I pray the Father can use this study to open your eyes. Nature of man and beast Men are souls - Gen 2:7; Acts 27:37 Animals are souls - Num 31:28; Rev 16:3 “Life” is “Soul” - Mar 8:35,36 Man (Soul) dies - Eze 18:4; Isa 53:12; Job 11:20 “Breath” is “Spirit” - Gen 2:7; Psa 104:29; Psa 146:4; Job...

Reason #1—Your “Church’s” Mother is “The Mother of Harlots” In Chapter 17 of The Revelation of Jesus Christ, John has a vision, and in verse 5, we read,  “And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.” This “woman,” which is language typical of describing a church in Scripture (i.e., Ephesians 5; Revelation 12), is said to be the apostate mother of all harlots. The only church which claims the title of “The Mother Church” is the Roman Catholic Church, The Vatican. Surely, astute Protestants will agree the Mother of Harlots is the Catholic Church based on her numerous doctrinal errors. But they’re reticent to identify the “harlots”—this essay helps you do that. This “Mother Church” indeed “gave birth”—if you will—to many harlots during the Protestant Reformation, beginning with Lutheranism. All churches and groups since that time avowing themselves “Protestant” or “Evangelical” in the modern sense are, at t...
