God is NOT the Lord!
by Phil Maxwell November 1997
God SAID HE WOULD give His glory to another, Christ:
Beheld my servant [Christ], whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I
have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles....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: I the Lord have called thee in righteousness, and
will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for
a light of the Gentiles; To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the
prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house. I am the Lord [Yahweh];
that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven
images. (Is.42:1,5-8)
God DID give His glory to another, Christ:
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. (Jn.1:14)
And what is the exceeding greatness of his [God's] power to usward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power, Which he [God] wrought in Christ, when he
raised him from the dead, and set him [Christ] at his [God's] own right hand in the
heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every
name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: And
[God] HATH PUT all things under his [Christ's] feet, and gave him to be the head
over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in
all. (Ep.1:19-22)
Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath MADE that
same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ. (Ac.2:36)
And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power IS GIVEN unto me in heaven
and in earth. (Mt.28:18)
For the Father judgeth no man, but HATH COMMITTED all judgment unto the Son:.....For
as the Father hath life in himself; so hath HE GIVEN to the Son to have life in
himself; And HATH GIVEN him authority to execute judgment also, because he is
the Son of man. (Jn.5:22, 26-27)
For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he [God] HATH PUT all things under his
[Christ's] feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that
he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued
unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under
him, that God may be all in all. (1Co.15:25-28)
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;....And he [Christ] commanded
us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which WAS ORDAINED of God to
be the Judge of quick and dead. (Ac.10:40,42)
There is only One God, and there is only One Lord (and they are not one and the same):
One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is
above all, and through all, and in you all. (Ep.4:5-6)
But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in
him; AND one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
(1Co.8:6)
For there is one God, AND one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
(1Ti.2:5)
Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father, AND from our Lord Jesus Christ,
(Ga.1:3, also, 1Co.1:3, Ep.1:2, 1Ti.1:2, 2Ti.1:2, etc.)
THEREFORE,
...IF there is only ONE GOD (which there is),
...and He MADE his only begotten Son, Christ, the Lord (which He did),
...and there is only ONE LORD (which there is),
...and they are not one and the same (which they aren't)....
THEN,
....God is NOT the Lord....Yahshua, God's only begotten Son, IS !!
And the Spirit was sent to show us these things
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and
blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
(Mt.16:16-17)
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I
have said unto you. (Jn.14:26)
But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:(Jn.15:26)
Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God
calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy
Ghost. (1Co.12:3)
THUS, to say "Jesus is God" is...
....to deny that God MADE Him Lord!
....to deny that Yahshua IS the Lord!
...to speak by a source other than the Holy Ghost!
If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all
men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. (Ja.1:5)
