25 short biblical arguments for the binding author

But you are opposed to the teachings of these holy men.

So let me get this straight.  YOU believe that both the Church and the message of the gospel was an UTTER FAILURE.  

YOU believe that right out of the gate, the gospel was corrupted and lost.  

YOU believe that in fact, the gates of hell prevailed against the Church.

YOU believe that of all of the writings of the fathers who KNEW the apostles, NONE of them reflect the ancient faith in it's pristine beauty?

YOU are a heretic.

If I may step in here to comment on this.

Neither the church or gospel message of the apostles are a failure. This does not mean that there was no apostasy and that there was no development of antichrist as a result of that apostasy.

The entire gospel faith was delivered to the saints in the first century. (Jude 1:3)

God has revealed his truth by means of his holy spirit through the prophets in the Old Testament and through Jesus and his apostles in the New Testament. (Mark 12:36; Luke 4:11; 10:21; 24:27,44; Acts 1:16; 2:33; 10:38; 28:25; Hebrews 1:1,3; 3:7; 1 Peter 3:10-12; 2 Peter 1:21)

God, by means of his holy spirit, especially led the apostles into all the truths concerning Christ and what he said. (John 14:26; 16:4-13; Acts 1:2; Galatians 1:12; Ephesians 3:5; 1 Thessalonians 1:5; 2 Timothy 2:2)

The truths revealed to the apostles and made available to us are recorded in the scripture itself. (Ephesians 3:3-12; Colossians 1:25,26; 1 John 4:6) Of course, without the holy spirit, these things that are recorded will still be a mystery to us. — Mark 4:11; 1 Corinthians 2:7-10.

Anything doctrine or spirit that is contrary to, diminishes, or destroys what has been revealed is not of the truth. — Isaiah 8:20.

God, by means of his holy spirit, reveals through the scriptures that man was created sinless, in God’s character image, and that he was given a dominion, and that through sin mankind fell under the penalty of death and destruction, by which mankind came to be by nature children of wrath, made subjects of corruption, all being under condemnation through Adam, and through which mankind is undergoing exposure to futility and various evils, permitted by God to teach him by experience the evil nature and effects of sin and the desirability of hating and forsaking it. — Genesis 1:26-28,31; 2:17; Psalm 8:5-8 (Mankind does not now have this dominion — Hebrews 2:6-8); Ecclesiastes 1:2-15; Romans 5:12-19; 6:23; 8:20-23; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Ephesians 2:3; Psalm 90:15.
 
God, by means of his holy spirit, reveals that the basis of hope for everlasting life for the elect and the non-elect is in the fact that God “is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe”; that Jesus by the grace of God tasted death for every man, “a ransom for all”; that God “desires to have all men to be saved, and come to full knowledge of the truth,” and that Jesus is “true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world”, “the testimony in its own times (in due time – KJV)”. — 1 Timothy 4:10; 2:3-6; Hebrew 2:9; John 1:9 (New King James Version).

The trinity doctrine diminishes the revealed role of Jesus as the man, Jesus Christ, who gave himself as a ransom for all (1 Timothy 2:5,6), for it would have it that in order for Jesus to have obeyed the Most High, Jesus had to be the Most High, which, in effect, would justify, rather than condemn sin in the flesh, for it would prove that Adam would have needed to have been the Most High in order to obey the Most High. No scripture says that Jesus had to be the Most High in order to obey the Most High.

God, by means of his holy spirit, reveals through the scriptures that man was created sinless, in God’s character image, and that he was given a dominion, and that through sin mankind fell under the penalty of death and destruction, by which mankind came to be by nature children of wrath, made subjects of corruption, all being under condemnation through Adam, and through which mankind is undergoing exposure to futility and various evils, permitted by God to teach him by experience the evil nature and effects of sin and the desirability of hating and forsaking it. — Genesis 1:26-28,31; 2:17; Psalm 8:5-8 (Mankind does not now have this dominion — Hebrews 2:6-8); Ecclesiastes 1:2-15; Romans 5:12-19; 6:23; 8:20-23; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22; Ephesians 2:3; Psalm 90:15.

God, by means of his holy spirit, reveals that the basis of hope for everlasting life for the elect and the non-elect is in the fact that God “is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe”; that Jesus by the grace of God tasted death for every man, “a ransom for all”; that God “desires to have all men to be saved, and come to full knowledge of the truth,” and that Jesus is “true Light which gives light to every man coming into the world”, “the testimony in its own times (in due time – KJV)”. (1 Timothy 4:10; 2:3-6; Hebrews 2:9; John 1:9 — New King James Version). The trinity is contrary to this revealing of the holy spirit, since it declares that the man Jesus is still the man Jesus, thus, in effect, annulling the scripture that says that the man Jesus gave himself as a ransom.

The scriptures declare that Jesus gave his flesh, his body, for the life of the world and the church. (Luke 22:19; John 6:51; 1 Corinthians 11:24; Hebrews 10:10) “No, no, no!”, says that the trinitarian; “we have received a greater spirit (2 Corinthians 11:4) that helps us to imagine, assume, add to, and read more into those scriptures, so that now, by means of this greater spirit, we know that Jesus still has that body of flesh, and will have it for eternity.

Yes, part of the truth revealed by means of the holy spirit was that there was to be an apostasy, a “falling away” from the truth of God’s Word, with strong delusions. (Matthew 13:24-30; Acts 20:29,30; 2 Thessalonians 2:1-12; 1 Timothy 4:1-3; 2 Timothy 4:3,4) This falling away had already begun in the first century, with some receiving a different spirit and preaching “another Jesus”; the apostasy was restrained for only a short while. (2 Thessalonians 2:7; 1 John 2:18,19; 2 Corinthians 11:4) The apostasy spread rapidly after the death the apostles and developed into the great “Man of Sin”, or more correctly  “Insubordinate Man,” “Lawless Man”, or “Illegal Man”, a great religious system, which claimed to have the authority to add to God’s Word since their revelation was allegedly of God’s Spirit, and these revelations were claimed, in effect, to add more to the faith that scriptures say had once delivered to the saints. (Jude 1:3) The central doctrine became the false teaching that Jesus had to be God Almighty in order to provide atonement for sins. With this spirit of error in mind, the writings of the apostles were totally reinterpreted by means of the spirit of human imagination and assumptions so as to accommodate the error, and many of the Hellenic Jewish philosophies were adapted and added to and blended in with the New Testament, even as the Jews had done with the Old Testament.

Isaiah, in prophesying concerning the stone of stumbling (Isaiah 8:14; Romans 9:23) to both the houses of Israel (Romans 9:6,31; 11:7; 1 Corinthians 10:18; Galatians 6:16), warns us: “To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, it is because there is no light in them.” (Isaiah 8:20, New King James Version) The “law”, of course, is what we call the Old Testament; the “testimony” of this prophecy is the testimony of the apostles, as given in the New Testament. This the way to test the spirits. (1 John 4:1) It is to these and through these scriptures that the holy spirit today gives true direction, and
anything not in agreement with these scriptures is not of the light of the day. (John 11:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:5) In effect, any spirit that does not testify in agreement with what has been revealed is not of the light of new day.

The distortion of who Jesus truly was and is — who while on earth before his death was only human, a little lower than the angels, who gave his flesh for the life of the world — is one of the greatest stumblingblocks to understanding the true Gospel revealed in scripture. Thus Jesus becomes a stumbling stone, not only to the house according the flesh which was corrupted from true doctrine (Israel after the flesh — Luke 13:25-28; Romans 9:30-33), but also the house which claims Jesus, which has also become corrupted from true doctrine through spiritual fornication. — Matthew 27:21-23; Revelation 2:13-15,20-24.

The scriptures reveal that it was necessary for Jesus, in becoming flesh, to become a little lower than the angels, nothing more, nothing less, as the equivalent of Adam before Adam sinned in order to reverse effects of what Adam had done. (Romans 5:12-19; 1 Corinthians 15:21,22; 1 Timothy 2:5,6) In doing this, Jesus, being but a sinless man, nothing more, nothing less, by his obedience, never once falling short of the glory of his God, and by his overcoming all temptation to sin, thereby condemned sin the flesh, and through this means his God and Father  could be found just, and yet at the same time the justifier of the sinner.  (Romans 3:23,26; 8:3; John 16:33; Hebrews 2:9; 4:15; Revelation 3:21)  On the other hand, the added-on philosophies that would exalt Jesus to the glory that only belongs only to the Most High, would, in effect mean that Jesus justified sin the flesh, and shown that for Adam to have obeyed the Most High, Adam would have needed to have been the Most High.

n truth, throughout the scriptures, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is presented as a unipersonal God, and not once is He presented as more than one person. All through the New Testament, forms of the word transliterated as THEOS, when applied to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, is always used to speak of one person, and not once as more than one person. Throughout the New Testament, the unipersonal God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is distinguished from His son. In all of the scriptures claimed to present otherwise, the great spirit of human imagination has be consulted, and the resulting imaginations and assumptions have to added to, and read into, each and every scripture to get added-on dogma appear to be supported by the scripture.

As far as I know, we do not have any manuscripts of these people before the fourth century; while it is possible that the manuscripts we have have faithfully copied the originals, it is also possible that they were corrupted to reflect later thinking. At any rate, just because these people knew the apostles does not mean that they faithfully reflected what the apostles wrote, despite their claims.

For instance, I have studied extensively the works of Charles Taze Russell (who was never associated, and did not believe in an authoritarian organization such as the Jehovah's Witnesses) and am very familiar with what he wrote. I have also studied the works of Joseph Rutherford, who knew Russell, and yet, Rutherford often distorted and misrepresented what Russell had said, although he claimed otherwise. Thus, it is also possible that, without the restraining influence of the apostles, those who had known the apostles grasped the opportunity to present their views as though they were the same as the views of the apostles.

But you are opposed to the teachings of these holy men.

Who passed on the idea that if we set a date for the end of the world and it DOESN'T HAPPEN, we can just set another one?
