who is jesus' father
all right you can turn your Bible to
John chapter 14 there's been a big
controversy stirred up because I've said
that Jesus Christ is God the Father and
I see people going back and forth in the
comments and Friends of the ministry and
things are even disagreeing with me and
saying Brian you don't know what you're
talking about Jesus is God the Son he's
not God the Father let me clarify what
I'm trying to say by this whole thing
okay we're going to read John chapter 14
because this thing shows what's going on
I think better than any any other
chapter in the Bible I mean there's so
many verses that we can go over here but
I think it's important John chapter 14
verse 1 let not your heart be troubled
you believe in God believe also in me
okay and my father's house are many
mansions if it were not so I would have
told you I go to prepare a place for you
and if I go and prepare a place for you
I will come again and receive you unto
myself that where I am there ye may be
also and whether I go ye and whether I
go you know and the way you know Thomas
saith unto Him Lord we know not whither
thou goest and how can we know the way
jesus saith unto him I am the way the
truth and the life no man cometh unto
the father but by me if he had known me
he should have known my father also and
from henceforth you know him and have
seen him
here's where it gets interesting
okay now you can make the argument up to
this point that Jesus and God could be
two separate you know aspects of the
divine godhood or however you want to
say you know I mean you got to be real
careful with this whole doctrine of the
Godhead you know people call the Trinity
and you go well the Trinity is not in
the but I know all that stuff okay but
it's you know God is three in one all
right that's what the Bible teaches here
but here's where you got to be real
careful because there are so many
different extra biblical words that are
coming into play with people and stuff
like this and they're they're
introducing all
well this is you know all the well let's
stick with what the scriptures say all
right Jesus is talking here like father
and him are are there but they're
separate is what it looks like so far
but now check this out he says you know
I have seen him look at that's verse 8
Philip saith unto Him Lord show us the
father and it sufficeth us jesus saith
unto him have I been so long time with
you and yet hast thou not known me
Philip hmm he that hath seen me hath
seen the father and how saith valve in
show us the father believe us now not
that I am in the father and the father
in me the words that I speak unto you I
speak not of myself but the father that
dwelleth in me he doeth the works is
Jesus Christ the father yes he is see
but it doesn't make sense what the other
we're going to get to that why does this
not make sense to our puny little minds
give you a little hint there all right
the Godhead is purposefully set up so
that we with our finite little minds
down here we can't understand it see
this is part of the thing of one of the
mysteries talked about that another
study but here here's the whole thing
does the script do the scriptures teach
the Jesus is the father he just said he
was so you don't say well yes but I can
show you plenty of other scriptures
we're gonna look at the other scriptures
here in this chapter that say about
Jesus and God it looks like that they're
separate alright we're going to look at
those scriptures here as we continue but
you can't abandon this statement to
Jesus Christ makes here so your doctrine
cannot be based on
well I found let's just say two hundred
verses that say make it look like Jesus
and God are separate and you say so then
I'll just ignore this one right here
where Jesus says he that hath seen me
hath seen the father so let's ignore
that one because of the other two
hundred no no no no no that does not
work all right you look for even one
verse of scripture and there's
more than this one you look for one
verse of scripture where Jesus Christ
identifies himself as the father and
that proves that he is God the Father
it's right there and of course what do
we see well if you understand the
Godhead from Scripture Jesus Christ is
the physical body of the Godhead God the
Father is the soul the Holy Spirit is
the spirit they understand where you'd
say the Holy Ghost is the spirit that's
the Godhead so if you're looking at
Jesus Christ he says he that hath seen
me hath seen the father
the father's right there inside of him
as the soul the Holy Ghost is right
there inside of him as the spirit okay
we have a body we have a soul we have a
spirit man is made in the image of God
again I've talked about this thing in
plenty of other studies verse 11 believe
me that I am in the father and the
father in me or else believe me for the
very works sake verily verily I say unto
you he that believeth on me the works
that I shall do excuse me the works that
I do shall he do also and greater works
than these shall he do because I go unto
my father and whatsoever ye shall ask
him my name that will I do that the
father may be glorified in the son if he
shall ask anything in my name I will do
it if he love me keep my Commandments
and I will pray the father and he shall
give you another comforter that he may
abide with you forever even the Spirit
of Truth the Holy Spirit there whom the
world cannot receive because it seeth
him not neither knoweth him but he but
ye know him for he dwelleth with you and
shall be in you he wasn't in them yet
okay this is before Jesus died on the
cross so the Holy Spirit comes upon them
in Acts chapter two you see that there
you know again understand that the
transitional nature of going from Old
Testament to New Testament verse 18 I
will not leave you comfortless I will
come to you yet a little while in the
world see if me no more but ye see me
because I live ye shall live also
that day he shall know that I am in my
father and ye and me and I in you he
that hath my Commandments and keepeth
them he it is that loveth me and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my father
and I will love him and will manifest
myself to him Judas saith unto Him not
Iscariot Lord how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us and not unto
the world jesus answered and said unto
him if a man love me he will keep my
words and my father will love him and we
will come unto him and make our abode
with him I can t say well it was like
two different things get ahead of me
verse 24 he that loveth me not keepeth
not my sayings in the word which he here
is not mine but the fathers which sent
me these things have I spoken unto you
being at present with you 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 see you see the
comforter there is the Holy Ghost so
again we're seeing the Godhead here we
saw it in verse 6 Jesus is the way the
truth and the life right so what do you
have there well God breathed into man's
nostrils the breath of life the Holy
Spirit comes leads into all truth and
Jesus is the door he's the way into
heaven so you see the Godhead there so
what the Bible teaches and this is very
difficult for us to understand as people
as mere mortals you know the Bible
teaches that there are three aspects to
the Godhead and that they have different
things that they can do but yet they're
all one in one body you say but but but
they're scriptures I know I know but you
see again ahead of me again let's
continue I'll show you what I'm talking
about here as we continue let's look at
the scriptures verse 27 peace I leave
with you my peace I give unto you not as
the world giveth give I unto you but not
your heart be troubled neither let it be
afraid you have heard how I said unto
you I go away and come again unto you if
he loved me he would rejoice because I
said I go unto the father for my father
is greater than I so how's that
possible is it they keep with me verse
29 and now I have told you before it
come to pass that when it is come to
pass you might believe hereafter I will
not talk much with you for the prince of
this world cometh and hath nothing in me
but that the world may know that I love
the father and as the father gave me
commandment even so I do arise let us
kill hints okay now you say well see
right there he can't be caught the
father could he's going on to the father
how does this whole thing work well if
you watched my mysteries study
personally chapter 3 verse 16 personally
3:16 and without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness God was
manifest in the flesh justified in the
spirit seen of angels preached unto the
Gentiles believed on in the world
received up into glory okay now it's
very important to understand this
because the main issue here is an issue
of pride of believing what the Bible
says versus saying you know you kind of
line up on these two different sides two
different camps and you say well I
believe that Jesus is God
and but he's not God the Father and I
believe you know this and I'd leave that
and you're fighting against each other
and it's like wait a second what if the
Scriptures teach both what if the
scriptures are saying Jesus is going to
his father Jesus is praying to his
father in the book of Revelation he you
know the lamb that slain goes up and
takes the book off out of the hand of
the one that's sitting on the phone you
know and you're going you know okay I
don't get it that's the point brethren
that's the whole point great is the
mystery of godliness it's a great
mystery to us but I want to know I want
to be able to be definitive on this
thing it's not going to happen our minds
cannot fathom the complex nature of God
the God of the universe I mean do we
really want to be able to understand
everything about our God
would be a very big God wouldn't be a
God worth worshipping in my opinion go
back to Isaiah chapter 55 I'll show you
what I mean back to the Old Testament
and this is just going to be a real
quick little answer thing to I mean
don't get all excited here we didn't
cover this neither yeah I know I'm just
trying to answer this thing fairly you
know quickly Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6
through 9 Sikhi Lord while he may be
found call ye upon him while he is near
call ye upon him while he is near I just
had to put that in there because you
know I guess that means believe upon him
while he is near I know it means call
upon him okay whenever sinners need to
get in contact with God they don't just
formulate things in their own minds all
right they call you know when you need
help you call for help you know some
people are just rather stupid they can't
figure these things out but you know
call what is cold mean you know call
such an archaic word I mean it
Elizabethan English or something
apparently we can't figure out what call
means we're going to look that word up
in the dictionary
you're that brain-dead well then I feel
bad for you verse 7 let the wicked
forsake his way and the unrighteous man
his thoughts and let him return under
the Lord and He will have mercy upon him
and to our God for he will abundantly
pardon still true today in the New
Testament verse 8 for my thoughts are
not your thoughts neither are your ways
my ways saith the LORD for as the
heavens are higher than the earth so are
my ways higher than your ways and my
thoughts than your thoughts I'm glad
that I have a God that I worship that I
can't figure out the reason I say that
God excuse me Jesus is God the Father is
because jesus said he that has seen me
has seen the father so I can't say well
I'm just going to ignore that verse and
I'm
to go with verses where Jesus is praying
to God the Father and he says I'm going
to go to the Father and things like this
and and stuff in me and you know because
I got to make the buy will fit my
understanding it's pride is what it is
people call me prideful because I take a
stand and it's unpopular I take a stand
because the Bible says it all right and
if it makes me popular or unpopular or
whatever well I don't really care so
Brian people are making fun of you
you're discrediting your ministry like I
care I mean my word you know I want to
stand before the Lord someday the
judgment seat of Christ and that's where
I'm gonna have to answer and if his book
was wrong or someone else and say well I
just follow what the Bible said Lord
sorry about that you know should have
given me a better book or something I
don't know don't believe that that's
going to happen but Romans chapter 11
because there P people's I went back to
the Old Testament the proof thing okay
let's go to the New Testament Paul on
epistles although I guess if you're one
of these hyper wingnut or hyper
dispensational wingnuts Romans 11 is for
the Jews and Romans chapter 9 through 11
is for the Jews okay you know I mean
yeah I mean good night Romans chapter 11
verse 33 we'll start there oh the depth
of the riches both of the wisdom and
knowledge of God how unsearchable are
his judgments and his ways past finding
out for who hath known the mind of the
Lord or who has been his counselor or
who has first given to him and it shall
be recompense unto him again for of him
and through him and to him are all
things to whom be glory forever amen
see Brian you're rather stupid amen you
rather ignorant amen you're not really
you don't really know a whole lot do you
well compared to Lord oh absolutely not
all I know to do is just believe it
we'll look here that's changed my life
and I've seen it change other people's
lives that's all I know how to do
you say we you can you know but you need
to be able to explain everything in it
well then I would be God I'm not God and
this book Jesus calls himself the father
he that hath seen me hath seen the
father
I'm in the father and the father is in
me but how does it work at present you
just got to believe it okay
you can't let's not form two different
systems here and say you know and say
well I believe Jesus is God the Son okay
then show me that in Scripture show me
in scripture where it says where Jesus
called himself I'm God the Son okay
there's one God God the Father and Jesus
Christ says he that has seen the father
have seen or he that I've seen me has
seen the father Jesus is the body God is
the soul the Holy Ghost is the spirit
you say well how does it how do they
split up then how do they get you know
where you have God's on the throne and
Jesus has taken the book out of his hand
I have no idea I have no idea you know
when we're standing there if you're
saved and we're standing there you know
in formation or whatever else you know
and we're watching this thing happen
when we get raptured up I'll say I'm
gonna elbow you and say you'll see I
told you you know or that's how I work
oh okay alright yeah you know we'll know
when we get there
right I hold but that digest I don't
know if I could take a stand like that I
just laid the book and I suggest you do
the same
