It is claimed that the Apostles Paul said:
- For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many “gods” and many “lords”), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.“ (1 Cor 8:5-6)
The verses first says that there is only one God [who is] the Father,
FROM WHOM ALL THINGS CAME.
The verse continues saying that ‘
There is only one Lord [who is] Jesus Christ.’
But then it says something strange and counter-intuitive. It says that all things came ‘
THROUGH’ Jesus Christ.
But if all things came
FROM THE FATHER, how did all things come
THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?
((Recall also that trinity says that it was Jesus Christ who created all things….?!))
All [good] things are from the Father:
- “Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.“ (James 1:17)
- “This is what the LORD says— your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the LORD, the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens, who spreads out the earth by myself,” (Isaiah 44:24)
We know that the ‘LORD’ is ‘YHWH’, God; the Father. And it states in that verse in Isaiah that it is ‘YHWH’ that created all things.
Why then does of ‘appear’ that Paul is claiming all things CAME TO BE THROUGH Jesus Christ?
Could this actually be an example of MISTRANSLATION OR ADDITIONAL TEXT by the trinitarian translators attempting to claim that it ‘YHWH’ lied that he and he alone, created all things?
((
Recall also that trinity says that it was Jesus Christ who created all things….?!))
Think what it would mean for the preaching of Almighty God, and his SERVANT Christ, to be brought into disrepute for the sake of deviant ideology?
One way to resolve this confusion goes back to Genesis. In Genesis, God created the heavens and earth in six days and rested on the seventh's day. The questions becomes, how long did God rest, and while God rested, who was put in charge of creation?
In the Earthy Sabbath, which is a shadow of what goes on in Heaven, one is not supposed to work on the Sabbath. If anything needs to get done; daily upkeep like food prep, you will need to be proactive and/hire others to do the work while you rest. The person who was put in charge of the earth and the humans, as God rested, was called the Lord of the Earth.
Satan was the original Lord of the Earth. God had made provisions, for his day of rest, in advance, by placing two trees in the Garden of Eden; Knowledge and Life. Adam and Eve chose the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil, which was occupied by Satan. Knowledge of good and evil, is symbolic of law, with the Old Testament all about the Law. It was not about Life. The dead slept.
Satan, the tree of knowledge of good and evil, and Adam and Eve, all had a natural affinity for each other. God did not intercede, for Adam and Eve, when they were tempted by Satan since God was resting, and God was doing no work. Satan, who was in charge did the dirty work. The "assumed" God of the Old Testament and most of the New testament ,was not the Father, but the Lord Satan; Law, since God the Father was resting, and the Lord Satan was put in charge, while he rested. Man not allowing God his Sabbath rest, on God's terms, is where the confusion comes from.
Flash forward to the time of Jesus, Jesus, before he began his ministry, goes into the desert to fast and pray. He is visited by Satan, which among other things, offers Jesus all the wealth and power of the kingdoms of the Earth, if Jesus would bow down and serve him. Had Jesus accepted this offer, he would have become the Messiah anticipated by the Old Testament Messiah; rich and powerful and able to subdue all the enemies of Israel. This was a promise by the Lord Satan, as God rested.
But Jesus refuses the offer, since he had something else in mind. Jesus never said this offer was a lie or a trick. He knew Satan was Lord of the Earth and the maker of Law; tree of knowledge. Instead, Jesus by refusing to fulfill the prophesy, caused a political divide in Heaven. When Jesus preached about doing away Wirth law he was also ginning after the Satan and his Job. Satan and his supporters would lose their jobs; be thrown from heaven, and Jesus would go on to become the new Lord of the Earth, as God rested.
The biggest problem with Law, is law was not made of the righteous man, but for the sinners. However, is forced onto everyone, even those who it was not made for. In essence, it falsely accuses righteous, since it cannot sort out, who is good and who is evil. At the same time, the righteous is forced to learn the law and thereby be introduced to all forms of evil, that can cause even the good people to become evil. For example, the Alcohol Prohibition of the 1920's in the USA, law, caused evil to increase and not decrease. Sin taking opportunity through the Commands produces sin of all kinds. The prohibition created new type of evil; mafia and corruption in law enforcement.
It is not until late Revelations; the Second Coming of the Christ; Jesus is made Lord, where we start to see epic scale; Godly creation, once again, such as the bejeweled Heaven Jerusalem coming out of the sky to Earth. A thousand years later a whole new heaven and earth would be created.
On the Sabbath rest of God, the miracles on earth were of much smaller scale, because these were done but the Lords, as God rested. I learned this about the extended rest of God, through an inspiration. It resolves so many paradoxes.
