Well, If you think I am a heretic because I absolutely Give God all the Glory, then maybe, maybe I am a "heretic".
I am not a member of a church that is a cult, I might add, my Pastor is a 'Trinitarian'...so I don't fit into that either.
I don't go door to door saying follow what I believe or you will go to hell, I don't try to cram 'religion' down peoples neck,
AHHH, but praise God I have been put down and harassed because I believe there is ONE God, who can do it ALL, He is the Father in Creation, the Son in salvation, and the all the Spirit of God I need to get through this war against the ugliness of who WE really are, filthy rags, worthless sinners, God is never changing, He is the same yesterday, today and forever. We change...
We change our beliefs, we change our minds we change our dreams. We are never the same from one day to the next. The human being pats themselves on the back for all the fine things they have created by their own hands, when there is nothing new under the sun. By God were all things created, Jesus created everything there is. He revealed Himself to this world and they rejected Him in every way.
Some even think that God did not know the outcome from the day He created the Universe and the time and space before and after. He knows ALL things.
He will get the Glory if you believe He is a God who had a child named Jesus He raised in heaven whom He sent down to earth to be born of a virgin and then die for our sins, because He could not go back on His promise of death being the outcome of sin. He will get the glory if you believe He was not able to do it Himself. He will get the Glory if everyone on this earth decided they did not believe in Him at all. To God be the Glory. He does NOT need us, we NEED Him. We are to Serve Him, yet He came as a servant, we are to seek His face, but no man is drawn unless He draws them. He is our GOD and He is our Savior. He alone did all these things.
Isa 42:5
Thus says God the LORD,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread forth the earth and that which comes from it,
Who gives breath to the people on it,
And spirit to those who walk on it:
Isa 45:18
For thus says the LORD,
Who created the heavens,
Who is God,
Who formed the earth and made it,
Who has established it,
Who did not create it in vain,
Who formed it to be inhabited:
“ I
am the LORD, and
there is no other.
Isa 48:
“ I have declared the former things from the beginning;
They went forth from My mouth, and I caused them to hear it.
Suddenly I did
them, and they came to pass.
Because I knew that you
were obstinate,
And your neck
was an iron sinew,
And your brow bronze,
Even from the beginning I have declared
it to you;
Before it came to pass I proclaimed
it to you,
Lest you should say, ‘My idol has done them,
And my carved image and my molded image
Have commanded them.’
“ You have heard;
See all this.
And will you not declare
it?
I have made you hear new things from this time,
Even hidden things, and you did not know them.
They are created now and not from the beginning;
And before this day you have not heard them,
Lest you should say, ‘Of course I knew them.’
Surely you did not hear,
Surely you did not know;
Surely from long ago your ear was not opened.
For I knew that you would deal very treacherously,
And were called a transgressor from the womb.
“ For My name’s sake I will defer My anger,
And
for My praise I will restrain it from you,
So that I do not cut you off.
Behold, I have refined you, but not as silver;
I have tested you in the furnace of affliction.
For My own sake, for My own sake, I will do
it;
For how should
My name be profaned?
And I will not give My glory to another.
“ Listen to Me, O Jacob,
And Israel, My called:
I am He, I am the First,
I am also the Last.
Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth,
And My right hand has stretched out the heavens;
When I call to them,
They stand up together.
“ All of you, assemble yourselves, and hear!
Who among them has declared these things?
The LORD loves him;
He shall do His pleasure on Babylon,
And His arm shall be against the Chaldean's.
I, even I, have spoken;
Yes, I have called him,
I have brought him, and his way will prosper.
“ Come near to Me, hear this:
I have not spoken in secret from the beginning;
From the time that it was, I was there.
And now the Lord GOD and His Spirit
Have sent Me.”
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer,
The Holy One of Israel:
“ I am the LORD your God,
Col 1
For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins.
He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist. And He is the head of the body, the church, who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things He may have the preeminence.
For it pleased the Father that in Him all the fullness should dwell, and by Him to reconcile all things to Himself, by Him, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.
And you, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight—
John 8:13-19
The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.”
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from and where I am going. You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one. And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I
am with the Father who sent Me. It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
John 8:48-58
Then the Jews answered and said to Him, “Do we not say rightly that You are a Samaritan and have a demon?”
Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me. And I do not seek My
own glory; there is One who seeks and judges. Most assuredly, I say to you, if anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”
Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You have a demon! Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’ Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. Who do You make Yourself out to be?”
Jesus answered, “If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. It is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is your God. Yet you have not known Him, but I know Him. And if I say, ‘I do not know Him,’ I shall be a liar like you; but I do know Him and keep His word. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw
it and was glad.”
Then the Jews said to Him, “You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?”
Jesus said to them, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM.”
Revelation 1:8
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the Beginning and
the End,”<SUP> </SUP>says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
And to quote you again...
"So according to what you believe, God raised Himself, sits beside Himself, and gives Himself to Himself to be pour out on us."
:hands:ABSOLUTELY.
I am of the Sect of Jesus Christ God Almighty if you insist I am of a sect.
And you tell me what NAME you or any other person on this earth will be saved by??? None other than Jesus.
