               Christ The Beginning Of The Creation Of God,

                      And There Is No Trinity

                 By Peter James from:   www.peterjamesx.com

     There is No Trinity - Christ The Beginning Of The Creation Of God - Yet Is God

Revelation 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,

the beginning of the creation of God;

 

How can Christ, be God, and at the same time,

be the beginning of the creation of God?

 

These words were said by Christ Himself, therefore we cannot claim,

that that there is some error.

 

The first question is what is man?

 

Man is primarily a spirit being, in a human body.

The human body is temporary, and dies, and the spirit in man, is of a much

more permanent nature, although it is not immortal.

See our document: The Spirit in Man.

 

We are told, that the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

This is long before the re-creation, recorded in Genesis chapter 1.            

 

Hebrews 4:3  For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said,

As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest:

although the works were finished from the foundation of the world.

 

The reality is that, the spirit in man was made long before, the physical man

ever was, this is at the same time, that the foundation of the earth was laid.

 

We are told that the Lord formed the spirit that was in man.

 

Zechariah 12:1  The burden of the word of the LORD for Israel, saith the LORD,

which stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundation of the earth,

and formeth the spirit of man within him.

 

We are told, that the spirit in man returns to God, who gave it to him in the first place.

 

Ecclesiastes 12:7  Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was:

and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

 

We are told, that there is a definite distinction, between the breath in man,

and the spirit in man.

 

Isaiah 42:5 ¶  Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens,

and stretched them out;

he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it;

he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit

to them that walk therein:

 

    We are told, in both the Old and the NewTestament, that the Eternal God

    is not only the God of the physical, but also of the unseen spirits, which

    dwell in flesh.

 

             Note carefully, that it plainly says the spirits of all flesh.

             The Eternal is God, period.

             This applies to all things created, including all flesh whether human,

             or animal. Humans and animals, have spirits, but they are very different,

             as one spirit makes one a creature, which is made out of dust, into  a human being,

             and another creature, which is also made out of dust,

             is whatever type  of animal, this creature should be.

 

             This is one of the definitions of the Eternal God.

                       

             Numbers 16:22  And they fell upon their faces, and said, O God,

              the God of the spirits of all flesh,

             shall one man sin, and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation?

 

             Hebrews 12:9  Furthermore we have had fathers of our flesh which

       corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be

   in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?

 

             We should not think that the rest of the verse limits this God of the spirits

             to just human beings,because it does not.

 

            Ecclesiastes 3:21  Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward,

            and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?

 

            It is the spirit in man that makes a man different from an animal.

            This simple fact makes an utter nonsense of evolution.

            The educated ignoramuses, have no idea about the spirit world, and therefore,

            they foolishly try to link, all flesh made out of dust together.

            You do not have to be a scientist to understand this.

 

            There is also a difference between the flesh of a man, and that of animals.      

            If you have eaten a fish, a chicken, lamb or beef, you know that there are great differences,

            in many ways, between the construction and texture, of the flesh of these creatures.

            

            1 Corinthians 15:39  All flesh is not the same flesh:

             but there is one kind of

             flesh of men,

            another flesh of beasts,

            another of fishes, and

            another of birds.

             

            The reality, is that to try to link different types of flesh together,

            or plants, with animals and fish,

            by genetic engineering is actually sin.

            The law of species, is clearly defined in Genesis Chapter 1,

            where we are told, that the whole of the creation was limited to its ‘kind’.  

 

            I am fully aware, that parts of pigs are used in operations, to help ill people.

            Due to the differences between the two types of flesh,

            these people have to take drugs forever, to prevent the human body,

            from rejecting the foreign tissue.

            This even happens, when parts from another human being, are used to help

            another person.

             I need to make it clear, that I am not condemning people, who have undergone

            any of these types of operations in any way whatsoever.

            I am simply stating, the reality of different types of flesh.

 

            We are also told that man is made in the image of God.

 

            Genesis 1:27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him;

            male and female created he them.

 

            The man that the Eternal God made out of the dust was a composite being, a soul,

            which is comprised of the a physical body, and the spirit in man,

            which is quite different to the Holy Spirit.

 

            Prior to the Eternal God breathing into man’s nostrils, man was just a corpse,

            perfectly formed, but lifeless none the less.

 

            Genesis 2:7  And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground,

            and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 

             Let us consider man, who has, as we have shown, has a spirit in him.

             Let us say, that I look at a very beautiful woman, what do I see?

             I see what I consider to be a beautiful physical body.

             Furthermore, I could ‘fall in love’, with that beautiful body.

             In reality, this means, I desire this beautiful person.

 

             Herein lies a problem for most of us.

Naturally, we tend to get attracted by the appearance, but this gives us absolutely no clue whatsoever, about the spirit in the person.

None the less, there is a spirit in the person,

             as the scripture has clearly stated.

 

             When you look at the person, you do not see two people do you?

             When you look at yourself in the mirror, you only see a single person,

             without any clue about the indwelling human spirit in you.

             I am not speaking about the Holy Spirit, but the human spirit.

 

             It is for this reason, that most relationships fall apart, when the unseen spirit   

   manifests itself. This spirit might not be very nice at all.

   The chance of this happening, is very great, because the spirit

             in man, inherited by all of us, is fallen, due to the sin of our first parents.

             We are truly not the individual islands, that we would like to believe that we are.

 

             The Eternal God, the Father who is all Spirit, determined at the foundation

             of the earth, to come to the earth in the person of Christ.

             At the foundation of the earth, He knew that man would sin.

             Therefore we read that the lamb, Christ was slain from the foundation

             of the world.

             This predates the re-creation recorded in Genesis Chapter 1      

 

             Revelation 13:8  And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him,

             whose names are not written in the book of life of

             the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

 

             In order for Christ to come into the world as a literal human being,

             he needed to have a human spirit.

            I repeat, that a human being, without a human spirit, is just a corpse,

             like the corpse of any animal, and it decays back into the dust.

 

             James 2:26  For as the body without the spirit is dead,

             so faith without works is dead also.

 

             A soul is not some ethereal blob, hidden somewhere in our physical body.

             A soul is the composite man the physical body and the human spirit.

   Neither is a human spirit, an ethereal blob in our foreheads, nor anywhere else.

 

   A human spirit looks precisely as the body, in which it dwells,

   without any deformities.

 

   Christ clearly explained the difference, between a human spirit,

   and a human body.

   He was saying, that they both looked the very same,

   but one was physical and tangible, and the other was intangible.

   This means that it could not be felt, although it could be clearly seen.

 

   Luke 24:39  Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me,

   and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.  

 

         If we sin, and remain in a condition of sin, our fate will be eternal destruction,   death. The soul, the complete composite man can be completely destroyed.

            

    Ezekiel 18:4  Behold, all souls are mine;

as the soul of the father,

the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

so also the soul of the son is mine:

           

             In order to have Eternal Life, we still lack one thing, which is the indwelling Holy Spirit,

             which is none other than the Godhead, which is Eternal, thus the result is Eternal Life.

To be more specific, the Holy Spirit is literally Christ.

 

Document: Christ Is The Holy Spirit

 

             Up to this point, our soul comprises of two parts, the physical body and the spirit. 

 

             This gift of the Spirit, which is the Holy Spirit, also referred to as the Holy Ghost,

             has conditions attached to it.

             See our video: God Calls Whom He Chooses.

 

             We have to make a conscious decision, and we are commanded to choose life over death.

             As with all things, we often make the wrong choice, until the Eternal God gets our full attention.  

             Adam and Eve had this choice, and since that time, until now, and on into the future,

             we all have to make the very same choice. Unfortunately for Adam and Eve, they chose the tree

             of the knowledge of good and evil, which was death.

             Thus they died, and so we will also die, and our  physical body,

             will remain dead until a resurrection. 

       

    Deuteronomy 30:19  I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,

    that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,

    that both thou and thy seed may live:

 

    Romans 6:23  For the wages of sin is death;

    but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

 

    I believe, that the next verse can be telling us, that in the realm of physical flesh,

    the first spirit that was created, was the human spirit of Christ.

    Every other spirit was made afterwards.

    I do not believe for a moment, that the Eternal God is in every living creature.

    In fact He only enters into man, upon what we call conversion.

 

    This verse tells us, that He was created before any other creature.

 

    Colossians 1:15  Who is the image of the invisible God,

    the firstborn of every creature:

 

    It is the human spirit of Christ, which was made in the long distant past.

             

    Revelation 3:14  And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write;

    These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness,

    the beginning of the creation of God;

 

    It is in this human spirit that the Godhead dwelt in fullness.

 

John 3:34  For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God:

for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

 

If we look at Christ, what are we seeing?

We see his human body, plus his human spirit, plus the Holy Spirit,

without measure.

You did not see three persons.

You see a single human being.

 

When you look at a converted person

We see his human body, plus his human spirit, plus the Holy Spirit,

with measure.

You do not see three persons.

You see a single human being.

 

The difference is the Holy Spirit.

 

As we showed, we are made in the image of God, that is what He said

in Genesis 1.

We can see how very accurate the image is in reality.

I repeat.

You do not see three persons.

You see a single human being.

 

We also need to remember that we are only seeing through a glass darkly.

 

1 Corinthians 13:12  For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face

to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

 

             We also need to remember that the Eternal God, deals with us on a need

             to know basis. We are also called to believe, sometimes without understanding,

             which might come later, if at all.

 

             The immediate question, from those who read their bibles, is well Christ was

             on earth and He prayed to His Father in heaven, as He commanded us to do.

 

             Luke 11:2  And he said unto them, When ye pray, say,

             Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

             Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven,

             so in earth.

 

This certainly ensures that we are addressing the One True God,

and not the god of this world, Satan.

 

How can we understand Christ, praying to His Father in Heaven?

Christ, the physical garment of the Father,

was on the earth, but the Father, was in heaven.

How can we understand, that God is everywhere, that is omnipresent?

It is only as spirit, that the Eternal God, the Holy Spirit can be everywhere.

How can we understand, that God knows everything, including knowing,

the end from the beginning?

Eternity is not bound by time and space, which are both created dimensions,

with very specific limits. In fact both of these dimensions, were created in Eternity.

How can we understand, that God knows our thoughts, even before we have them?

Because knowing all things is a quality of the Eternal God.

It is called being omniscient.

 

If we go back to my analogy of the magnet, we can see that the Father

could be in heaven, and still in Christ and on the earth at the same time.

 

In actual fact, the list of things we do not know in the physical world,

is literally endless, much less in the spiritual world.

 

The genuine believer, has the Godhead,

which is Christ as the Holy Spirit dwelling in him,

but at the same time, the Father is still in heaven.

 

Personally, I am very appreciative of the things that I have been shown,

and I will patiently wait until I am shown some more, and then I will pass it on.

 

             Isaiah 44:24  Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee

             from the womb,

             I am the LORD that maketh all things;

             that stretcheth forth the heavens alone;

             that spreadeth abroad the earth by myself;

 

    Isaiah 45:18  For thus saith the LORD that created the heavens;

    God himself that formed the earth and made it;

    he hath established it,

    he created it not in vain,

    he formed it to be inhabited:

    I am the LORD; and there is none else.

 

           There is no ambiguity in these verses at all, and there are many other

           similar verses, showing that there is only One God.

 

           When Christ said that He and the Father are one, He literally meant it.

           He did not mean that they were simply of one accord, of one mind,

           which of course they are.

 

           John 10:30  I and my Father are one.      

 

           The dwelling of the Holy Spirit, the Godhead in us by measure,

           makes us one with each other, and one with the Eternal God.

           However, we will never be equal to the Eternal God.

           There will always only be one God, that will never change.  

 

           John 17:22  And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them;

           that they may be one,

           even as we are one:

 

   Romans 12:5  So we, being many,

   are one body in Christ,

   and every one members one of another.

 

   This was an excellent example of being ‘one’.

   Unfortunately I can no longer find the website

 

   Scientists from the University of Ohio recently removed a leaf from a tree; 

   transported the leaf seven miles away from the tree from which they had

   removed it; And performed the following experiment.
.
   They connected the leaf to a specially designed oscilloscope

   to measure electricity.
.
   They then electrically shocked the tree from which the leaf

   had been taken.
.
   And a full seven miles away, the same electrical shock they had given

   to the tree, was measured on the leaf they had cut from it.
.
   A full seven miles away !!!
.
   That very same test was then completed using a piece of human tissue.
   Producing the exact same results  - - -  Seven miles away !!”

 

             Personally (long before I read this article) I have been saying

             that I feel that even tiredness can be passed or shared between a couple !!

             If one member of a couple misbehaves, and mistakenly believes that the

             other person will not know ,or find out, or be affected, the reality is that

             the innocent party will suffer period,

             although they will not know why they are suffering.

             It is automatic. . . .

 

             This applies to human relationships, and the body of Christ.

             E.G., becoming one flesh, and when one member suffers all suffer.

             There is no question that the physical, and spiritual well being of one

             person affects others.

             This is what we are told.

 

             I would go further, and encourage us to realise that we are not islands,

             but rather part of a continent.

 

             We should therefore act, not just considering ourselves, but also others.

             You might say of course we should, but what I mean is in a much

             broader context.

 

             If you are ill, and you stubbornly refuse to do what you can do to improve

             your situation, or you stubbornly continue in actions,

             that make you a liability either in your home,

             or in the body of Christ, you are directly affecting others.

             This is an unbreakable law.

 

             Unfortunately even amongst true believers, this is a very real problem.

            The end result is that the body in general suffers, and the preparation

             of the bride of Christ is hindered.

            It therefore has a delaying effect, on Christ's return,

            which the world so desperately needs.

 

            We have to put aside either pride or selfishness,

            and let humility walk in the door, for the benefit of others,

            and not just ourselves.

 

   We have also seen that there is no Trinity, and that there is One God.

 

   We have seen, that the spirit of Christ, was the first spirit was made,

   of all the spirits which were made, therefore Christ had pre-eminence in all things.

   Christ as a human being, did not exist eternally,

   as we know he was born around 2,000 years ago, however,

   Christ as God existed eternally, because the Godhead which is Eternal,

   dwelt in him without measure.

 

   In spite of the above, Christ could clothe His human spirit, at any time,

   with a human body. This is precisely what happened in Genesis Chapter 1,

   when the re-creation took place.

 

   This is why, I liken Christ to being the garment, which the Father chose to wear,

   when he humbled himself, and came to earth as a man.

 

   Philippians 2:8  And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself,

   and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

 

   To come to the earth as a man, Christ had to have a normal ‘spirit in man’,

   otherwise he would not be a man, just like you and I.

 

   The difference between Christ and us, is that He had the fullness

   of the Godhead dwelling in Him, unlike us who “only” have an earnest,

   a small amount of the Holy Spirit the Godhead.

 

          2 Corinthians 5:5  Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God,

          who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

 

          It is heresy to say that we will be God, as God is God.

          We are children of God.

          Bearing in mind, the analogy of the magnet, we can now understand how Elisha

          could ask for twice as much of the Spirit that was on Elijah.

          He was fully aware of the power that resided in Elijah.

 

          2 Kings 2:9  And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha,

          Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee,

          let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.

 

         Christ, as it were had to let His humanity override His divinity,

         the indwelling Godhead, in order to fully experience being a man,

         suffering, and dying on our account.

         This also means that the Father, who is the Godhead experienced all the pain, and suffering,

         which Christ experienced, as the Godhead was dwelling in Him.

         By extension, we can see that Christ, as the Holy Spirit, dwelling in us,

         experiences, our hurt, pain, and joy which we experience,

         It must make our rebellion against Him doubly painful.

 

          Thus Christ could say grieve not the Holy Spirit.

         The Holy Spirit was not some far away distant nebulous something.

         The Holy Spirit was literally dwelling in the Christians, to whom Paul was writing,

         as the Holy Spirit is in all genuine believers.

 

          Ephesians 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God,

          whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. 

 

          The indwelling Holy Spirit can be so grieved that it can actually be quenched.

          This is a disastrous situation.

 

          1 Thessalonians 5:19  Quench not the Spirit.  

 

          Therefore it is a great deception to say that we are tarrying,

          that is waiting for the spirit,

          or praying down the spirit.

          Christ’s instruction to wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Ghost was sent to them,

          was one of two occasions.

 

          The first was to the New Jewish Believers.

         They had to wait in Jerusalem, until the day of Pentecost,

 

  Acts 1:3  To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion

             by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things

             pertaining to the kingdom of God:

  Acts 1:4  And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that

  they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father,

  which, saith he, ye have heard of me.

  (This was the return of Christ as the Holy Spirit at Pentecost).

  Acts 1:5  For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the

  Holy Ghost not many days hence.

 

          The Second was to the New Gentile Believers.

          This showed that there was to be no distinction between Jews or Gentiles,

          who had been converted.

 

           Acts 10:44  While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell

           on all them which heard the word.

           Acts 10:45  And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished,

           as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured

           out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

           Acts 10:46  For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God.

          Then answered Peter,

 

   This gigantic change, which meant that there was to be no distinction,

   between Jews and Gentiles, was a very big, and hard pill to swallow.

   It caused huge arguments, in the early church,

   with Paul confronting Peter on the matter.

 

   After the incident of the vision of clean, and unclean animals, and Cornelius’ visit,

   Peter got the message.

 

   Acts 10:34  Then Peter opened his mouth, and said,

   Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons:

 

   Of course as Peter himself explained, that the visions were not talking,

   about clean and unclean animals, as Churchianity, teaches but instead,

   it applied to the Jews, who regarded themselves as clean,

   and the Gentiles as unclean.

 

          Acts 10:28  And he said unto them, Ye know how that it is an unlawful thing

          for a man that is a Jew to keep company, or come unto one of another nation;

          but God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean.

 

   This is a message, that still is a major stumbling block to the false Jews,

   who regard all non False Jews, as animals and non-human beings.

   This should give us some idea of the gigantic ideological shift that

   was required, by the early church.

 

           We can be praying down the spirit all right, but it certainly is not the Holy Spirit.

 

          Since the two events mentioned above,

          the Holy Spirit has been passed on to new believers,

          by the laying on of hands, by someone, who had already received the Holy Spirit,

          by the exact same process.

         

          This does not mean, that we should limit the Eternal God from how,

          and when He chooses to dwell in believers, as the Holy Spirit,

          by that I mean, how and when,

          Christ chooses to dwell in someone, He has called to be a vessel of His.

 

           Acts 8:14  Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that

          Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:

   Acts 8:15   Who, when they were come down, prayed for them,

   that they might receive the Holy Ghost:

   Acts 8:16  (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized

   in the name of the Lord Jesus.)

   Acts 8:17  Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.

 

   The reality is that just like us today, visually all one saw,

   when looking at these new converts, was that they

   were very happy people, but each just an individual,

   with a body,

   with a human spirit

   with the Holy Spirit.

 

   We have also seen, that the human spirit was made at the foundation of the world,

   and human spirit of Christ, was the first to be made.

 

   Let us all be careful not to quench the indwelling Holy Spirit.
