The Way, The Truth, The Life

By Dr. Bud Denner

The Triune God or God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit: Coexistent, Coequal and Coeternal

I am not unaware that the Trinity teaching is the most controversial of all doctrines in the Church. Thayer’s Greek Lexicon admits the dispute continues, and neither they nor Young’s Analytical Concordance will take a stand either way.

It is only after many years of prayerful research and fellowship with the Holy Spirit that I am at last able to share this truth. The necessity of understanding the Trinity lay in the fact that God must not be dethroned by ANYONE, whether it be Saints, Angels, Mary, or even His own beloved Son! In giving the Father this preeminence, we must be careful not to rob Christ of His Deity or relationship with the Father. Therefore, I find myself in a unique position, in that by bringing this truth I do not seek to strip Christ of His Deity, like some others in the past have tried, nor deify as the Father, the Person of the Holy Spirit! I, therefore, can be that link between those in evil intent, and the traditional teaching which now exists.

I believe it is high time for the church to pull her head out of the sand of traditional teaching (old manna breeds worms) and get a breath of truth! Our Father God is the only true God, Jesus Christ is our Lord and Master, and the Holy Spirit is our comforter and Counselor, and it is with Him, the Holy Spirit that we have been commanded to fellowship:

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

2 Corinthians 13:14

I make no apology to those who are offended by this truth, listen to accusing Spirits, or brand me a heretic; knowing that the majority of the church are not Spiritual Christians, nor are they likely to be, but at best, are at a “Babe in Christ” level and content to remain that way (1 Corinthians 2:9–16, 3:1–4)!

Although I pray more and more for the liberation of the Body of Christ as a whole, these teachings are meant for the “hopeful Bride” of Christ who have eyes to see, ears to hear, and a heart that is open to the Spirit of God; who are hungry for Spiritual Reality and stifled by the present bondage, delusions, and corruptions of “ecclesiastical” machinery.

Yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Master, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. However, not all possess this knowledge.

1 Corinthians 8:6–7

As we come down to “the wire” in this present dispensation, we are told in Matthew 24 that the Christians’ love will grow cold, then they will hate each other. 2 Thessalonians 2 tells us that just before the appearance of Christ (rapture), there will be a great apostasy (turning against, renouncing, blaspheming, rebellion) of the Church against God. This is one of the two signs which precedes the Parousia (Christ’s coming for His Bride, chosen out of the “Church”).

My ministry, therefore, is to those who search the Scriptures daily, walk in the Spirit, and want to know the Father, become mature in Christ, and partake of the power and counsel now offered to us through fellowship with the Holy Spirit that they may be ready…

This doctrine is not only a religious myth handed down by papal Rome to the Protestant religions, but a very clever lie of Satan to rob and dethrone God, our Heavenly Father!

Before the Beginning, in the realm of Eternity, there was no God, only a Supreme Being. “God” means “object of worship,” and there was no one to worship Him. This Supreme Being created (Monogenes = Begotten or Created) a Son: Christ (The Anointed One of God). At this moment, He became a Father God! Christ was the Beginning, and the first-born of all creation!

He is the image of the invisible God, the first-born of all creation.

Colossians 1:15

And to the angel of the church in Laodicea write: ‘The words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation.’

Revelation 3:14

The Lord created me at the beginning of his work, the first of his acts of old.

Proverbs 8:22

Through Him, God created all things, in the heavens and on the earth. All things were created for Him and through Him (Colossians 1:15–19; Hebrews 1:1–4; John 1:1–3).

In the beginning was the Word, the Word was with God, and the Word was a God (Theos = a God).

John 1:1

Christ is a God; we worship Him, and every knee shall bow before Him! He is an immaculate conception, and the fullness of God is pleased to dwell within Him; but be careful you don’t pull God off His throne and shove Jesus, His Son, in His place! Remember, Christ sits at the right hand of His Father in His own Throne. This is a Father–Son relationship, not some sort of being playing out three roles.

…yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

1 Corinthians 8:6

There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call…

Ephesians 4:4

For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 2:5

When all things are subjected to him, then the Son himself will also be subjected to him who put all things under him, that God may reign supreme.

1 Corinthians 15:28

And this is eternal life, that they know You, the only true God and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

John 17:3

Notice also, in Old and New Testament text, that the Holy Spirit is more or less excluded in this Father–Son relationship.

Jehovah is a plurality and an office held by both Father and Son. Either may use it: Isaiah 43:14 (Jehovah Jesus), Isaiah 48:16 (Jehovah God), and Isaiah 45:11 (Jehovah plural), Father and Son! Many times “God” is a uni-plural noun meaning “Gods” (Elohim): Genesis 1:1, 1:26, 3:22, and Isaiah 44:6–8.

The Holy Spirit, then, is the executor of the Holy Trinity. In the Gospel of John, Jesus calls Him the Counselor or Comforter (John 14 and 16). He is neither God nor a God! He is a servant in the household of God and does as He is commanded (John 14:25–26, 16:7–8, 13–15).

You shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you…

Acts 1:8

He now takes over in Christ’s place as the “other Counselor” (John 16:7). Notice He does not speak on His own authority, but what He is told that He speaks (John 16:13).

I say to you, the Son can do nothing of His own accord, but only what He sees the Father doing; for whatever He does, the Son does likewise.

John 5:19

I can do nothing on my own authority; as I hear I judge, and my judgment is just, because I seek not my own will but the will of Him who sent me.

John 5:30

…for the Father is greater than I.

John 14:28

That they may all be one; even as you, Father, and I are one, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

John 17:21

But I want you to understand that the Head of every man is Christ, the Head of a woman is her husband, and the Head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 11:3

Coequal? Hardly! Deity? Certainly!
