This article hit me hard, for I worked closely with some evil people for years, I looked up to them, I trusted them, I believed what they said, and I had no idea they were evil until the one day I pushed back on something they did to me… and then I readily saw their wickedness in full force (and it messed me up emotionally and spiritually).
How could this happen? It happened because the truly evil people today have absolutely no inhibitions in putting on whatever facade they want/need to get their way. They’ll be your friend, they’ll do “good” things, they’ll exude genuine looking kindness , they go out of their way for you (but only for little things). They have no problem saying whatever they think will soothe and appease you to get what they want, even as far as saying they are Christian and love Christ. That’s the problem with evil and Satan and his minions, we humans alone have no defense against their deceit and tricks. We are so easily distracted, manipulated, and defeated.
Luckily for me, Christ was at my side. I prayed, and He answered. The more I did that, the more I found strength, answers, and the ability to decipher and counter their wickedness. Our Creator works in mysterious ways, but He won’t let you down. I’m still in the same job, but now they know that I know who they are, and they now know who I am and whom I side with, and now they leave me alone; they don’t try to gaslight me anymore. Lines have been drawn, and I can now see clearly only by the grace of God. I’m different now, too. I see that the evil ones are scared of God, and I know why.
Wow! Thank you for sharing such a raw experience. It’s awful to discover the true nature of people you trusted, hiding behind fake kindness. Your faith in Christ shining through, giving you strength and clarity to stand firm, is encouraging! I love how you said "Our Creator works in mysterious ways, but He won’t let you down". Amen to that! I’m so glad you found that peace and discernment through prayer. Your courage in drawing those lines is powerful! Thanks for reminding us how God’s grace carries us through :)
"His divinity ensures the atonement’s sufficiency, upholds God’s justice, and reveals His heart." So beautifully and perfectly put! Thank you, Alexandra. Hope you're out of the hospital and feeling better!
Thank you! I'm back at home and taking it all day by day. The Lord is good and I'm seeing some improvement :) I appreciate your kind words! God bless, Dan
Thank you for your prayers Mark! I appreciate them more than you know. I'm doing better and taking it all one step at a time. Thank you so much for checking in.
I love this article. I like the way you have shown how contrasting God and the pagan deities are. I’m getting exhausted of the narrative that the bible was just a hodgepodge taken from other sources such as the epic of Gilgamesh.
Thanks for your work. I’m sorry to hear you were in the hospital, (only from reading other comments). I have been following along for a while now.. seems like a long time. I would have put money on it that you did a video series about the protocols of the sons of the golden dawn or whatever it was called, wearing a black shirt I believe.. but I never was able to find those videos. Am I confused or did you actually have a video series covering that?
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this article and I’m so glad you liked it! I agree, it gets tiring hearing that narrative for sure, especially when it’s so easy to disprove. I appreciate your kind words and that you’ve kept up with me all these years! And you’re not confused, that was my very first round of videos I ever made and they were promptly removed from YouTube 😞 I was even banned from posting for like 3 months back at the beginning of my video uploads because of them! Boy does that tell us who we aren’t allowed to talk about, huh? 🙄
Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! I am really glad to finally have that answer because it was actually those videos that really got me interested in what is really going on in this world.
Also, I need to add that your explanation of God being above the chess board instead of on it (duality) has helped broaden my understanding of so many things.. I have been able to connect so much understanding simply by being able to grasp that concept. The duality thing is a nasty trick on our logic and I had been slipping into that thought process without realizing it. How easy it is to misunderstand God’s character and believe “is good really good without bad?” Biblical things now make sense to me, and I really just want to thank you for your ministry. Your content has been very helpful to me in my journey back to Jesus and it’s also very interesting! I’m grateful to just be able to say thank you for your hard work and that it is appreciated.
You really made my day! ^-^ Thank you so much for sharing how my research has impacted you! It means the world to hear that the concepts clicked and helped you on your journey back to Jesus. That’s exactly what I feel God called me to do with this work, so reading this feels like such a confirmation. 🙏
I’m thrilled that the “God above the chessboard” idea was useful to you! It’s wild how that duality trap can sneak into our thinking, right? Once you see God as completely above that good-vs-bad tug-of-war, it’s like a light bulb goes off, at least it did for me, and so many biblical truths start falling into place. I love how you put it, connecting those dots and seeing God’s character clearly is such a game-changer!
Thank YOU for taking the time to share this. Your gratitude seriously blesses me, and I’m praying for you as you keep walking with Jesus. Keep seeking Him, and may He bless you!
Thank you so much! I appreciate your prayers more than you know. That’s a great idea! I’d love to write my articles contrasting Christ to other gods/belief systems. I did one of the Buddhist philosophy a while back and really enjoyed that one, so thank you for the great suggestion! God bless!
Amen, to all you wrote and proved with scripture! 🙏
You said this so well, "The claim that Yahweh is Baal simply because "baal" means "lord" is a linguistic fallacy that ignores context and biblical distinction."
I have learned about many Hebrew words that have been linguistically misinterpreted or misused in which changes the context of scripture. This unnecessary leavening is to cause man to stumble (in my opinion), but Daniel spoke of the wise having understanding... This is where I have complete faith in Matthew 7:7-12 NIV. “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.
For example: According to BYNV dictionary, Hebrew Transliterations & Definitions for BYNV (The Besorah of Yahusha Natsarim Version) by Lew White, AL, Alah, Alahim are pronouns meaning the mighty, high, or lofty one. The plural ending can refer to the size, overwhelming majesty, enormity, or power of the One Who is lofty, and may apply to the quality, not the quantity. In other cases, the plural "other alahim" is referring to the many false mighty ones worshipped by the heathen. Commonly we see the spelling El, Eli, Elohim due to the subtle distortion of vowels invented by the Masoretes, karaite traditionalists... Those who are concerned that El, and Alah have been used as proper nouns by pagans should distinguish the difference between a NAME and a clean Hebrew word that is a pronoun. Other cultures have picked up many clean Hebrew words and turned them into names such as Aman, Adon, and Molok. When not used as names, these terms are authentic, clean words.
Let me know what you think about this;)
Another prime example of leavening scripture. You also made a great point which you wrote in an article about cherry picking. When one reads cherry picked verses that have been transliterated by the man that ruled that age... the context becomes distorted.
Jesus Christ/ the Messiah (Yahusha Ha mashiak) was born, crucified, and resurrected as the scriptures/prophets foretold. The Moedim (appointed times, feasts festivals of scripture) mirror and forshadow what is to come.
Praise Yahuah (the personal name for our Creator, meaning: I will be, I was, I am)! 🙌 Used 6,823 times in the TaNak, but replaced by translators with other meaning, "lord" across the languages.
Thank you for your hard work and time Alexandra, you bless me with everything you write!
Hope you are well, I pray for many blessings and for you to continue to be the Natsar (branch) of the vine (Jesus') words!❤️🙏
Thank you for such a heartfelt and thoughtful comment! I’m truly blessed by your kind words and encouragement.
You hit the nail on the head with the linguistic misinterpretations of Hebrew words. It’s wild how much context can get lost when words like "Alah," "El," or "Elohim" are misunderstood or twisted. I love how you broke down the BYNV dictionary definitions! Spot-on about the plural endings reflecting majesty and power rather than quantity. It’s such a great reminder that we need to dig into the original Hebrew to avoid those traps of distortion. And yeah, the way other cultures have taken clean Hebrew words and turned them into names like Aman or Molok are great examples of how things get muddied up.
I also totally agree about the "leavening" of scripture, cherry-picking verses without context is a surefire way to miss the bigger picture. I always hope folks continue to read and re-read Scripture, cause I know I always learn something new each time!!
Your point about the Feasts mirroring and foreshadowing what’s to come is so true!
And can we just take a moment for the name Yahuah? 🙌 Knowing it’s used over 6,800 times in the TaNak but got swapped out for "lord" is wild. Thank you for sharing that, it’s such a good call to keep seeking and knocking, like Matthew 7:7-12 says.
Thanks again for your prayers, you’re a blessing too! May our amazing Father keep guiding you and bless you!
Thank you for making some great scriptural connections that establish the nature of our Father and the difference between man sacrificing offspring to lesser/false elomim and the self-sacrifice of our Salvation.
This particular subject has been a passion of mine from the beginning. The word God does not appear in the original language. The word elohim has been the focus of my study.
Jeff Benner has some fantastic research on it. Using Ancient pictographs it seems that there is far more to be understood. How can the Son be the Father? And where is the Mother. Creation is an image of the Creator, so the answers must be there. I started looking for the word Elohim insofar as it relates to יהוה. The answer, from my work so far, hit me recently. When the Father speaks of himself he is Elohi singular. Adding the יmemי to make Elohim makes the subject matter either plural or to mean bigger or greater. The Hebrew writing by John in the 'New Testament' calls the Word: 'Elohim'. Could it be that Elohim is the Father and the Son in a family unit? The family Elohim? Genesis 1-3 describes the creation of Owr/Light. The Ruach of Elohim fluttered over the waters and Owr existed. Then Luke describes the action of conception of the earthly Son... Luke 1:35. Look at the way the text reads: the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the Most High will overshadow you'.
Gen 1:2,3: ...the Spirit of Elohim hovered/fluttered over the waters and uttered Elohim 'let there be Light/Owr...' John 8:12: '...I am the Light of the world...'
The word 'God', it seems, has been throwing us all off.
In conclusion, I suggest that יהוה the Most High is the Father Elohi, and along with Owr/Light/the Son are Elohim.
Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nurse4truth has great knowledge on these types of subjects as well. I'm so thankful or this insightful community! I love how you explained this so well and it's absolutely something to pray and think on. While using 'God' is the simplest way to make someone you're speaking with know what page you're on, it's definitely more nuanced as you highlighted. Thank you very much for taking the time to share. It sure does make it hit that much harder when the occultists call their 'salvation' 'light' and who they're truly mocking. Thankfully they lose every time, and will ultimately lose it all.
I appreciate your response Alexandra. Yes, it seems that Nurse4truth is on the same juncture on our path. So much is being revealed in different ways to the Father's children, it's very exciting. The occult certainly has no imagination of its own does it. It seems though, due to the blatant distortion of truth, once you see the trickery it becomes glaringly obvious.
On the subject of Elohim, I do have far far more, the Scriptures have some incredible content and the layers just keep unravelling.
The other member of the Elohim unit was my next point of research on this subject. That opened up a huge can of worms. Gen 1:27 describes the original human form made in the image of 'Elohim'.
It becomes a point of interest how hugely important the family unit is to creation, and how much it is under attack by the opposition, another powerful strategy of the occult.
PS Your good health is in my thoughts and prayers.
Carefully and tightly reasoned, as usual. There are no big surprises in it for me, but it is so helpful, encouraging, and strengthening to have this in one place as a confidence builder and for discussion with others. I really appreciate your pointing out that the belief that Jesus is only human and not divine is not at all compatible with who Yaweh really is. Jesus logically must be both God and Man. That reasoning is is a slightly different perspective I haven't heard that much before, though I have always believed Jesus is both in one person.. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you found the article helpful and encouraging. My goal was to provide a resource to build confidence for believers and offer something to draw from and share with others. So I’m really happy it felt that way to you ☺️ I’m thrilled you appreciated the perspective on Jesus as both God and Man too! Thank you for your support! 🙏
Great to hear from you. Always bringing truth. Glad your feeling a little better. Continued prayers. Thank you for taking the time to put together such great insight. We are all blessed because of your efforts to share God's truth. God bless you always. 🙏
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and prayers! I’m truly touched by your support and encouragement. It’s a blessing to share God’s truth. God bless you always, brother! 🙏
Good read Alexandra, thank you. 1 Kings 18 Elijah confronts the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, is one of my favorites also… self sacrifice is key, what a loving Father, how could we not give our all to him for he lead the way. In his blood, covered by the blood of the Lamb to eternal life, what an amazing God! 🫶🏽♥️💕
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your love for 1 Kings 18! It’s such an amazing display of God’s faithfulness and triumph over evil.
Absolutely, the self-sacrifice of our loving Father is so humbling and inspiring, it truly shows us the way to eternal life through the blood of the Lamb. What an amazing God indeed! 🥰🙏
Perfectly stated and I love how you give scripture to prove your work. I’m never disappointed! You explain things so easily for folks to understand. Plus they can go read the Bible verses. I really enjoyed this one. Sometimes things are hard to explain and I’ve got what you have written to show the truth. Hope you are feeling well.. I love you doll🥰
This was a powerful article! One line really stuck with me: “A finite being’s sacrifice could not cover the eternal debt of sin.” very true. You made a strong and compassionate case for why Jesus has to be God. Not just for theological clarity, though because it reflects God’s justice and love. Your point that a God who sacrifices another wouldn’t reflect John 3:16 was brilliantly said.
I’ve been digging into this topic for a while and have come across ministries like Hanging On His Words and Kingdom in Context that explore the topic a bit differently. Ken from Hanging On His Words teaches that Jesus is “the firstborn of all creation” and was given authority by Father. He sees Jesus' oneness with Father as unity of purpose, not of being.
Two verses I still wrestle with are:
* Matthew 24:36 – “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
* Colossians 1:15 – “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation”
Both seem to highlight a distinction between Father and Son that I’m still trying to fully understand within the framework of full divinity. I hope it’s okay to share. This is just something I’ve been processing in my own study. I value your perspective and wanted to hear your take.
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot to me and bring me so much encouragement. I also appreciate your questions. Yeah, it can be quite a tricky concept to wrap our human minds around for sure. I think a lot on John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”, John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.”, Colossians 2:9: “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”
When Jesus says, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9), He really isn't speaking metaphorically about unity of purpose, but of essential identity.
The unity between the Father and the Son is not merely functional, but ontological, they share the same divine being. So with that, you bring up good questions about Matthew and Colossians. So, for Matthew 24:36, a lot of people take that literally but it's actually referring to a similarity with the Feast of Trumpets. “No one knows the day or the hour" is itself a reference to the Feast of Trumpets, which was celebrated over two days due to the uncertainty of the new moon’s appearance, emphasizing the mystery and suddenness of Christ’s return. Jesus’ statement does not imply a separation of being, but rather a distinction in role with God.
Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” The term “firstborn” here does not mean Jesus was created, but rather speaks to His preeminence and authority over all creation. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the firstborn was the heir and the one who held the rights of inheritance. Paul is emphasizing that Jesus is the rightful ruler and the visible expression of the invisible God, not a lesser being, but the fullness of God in human form. Jesus is fully God, and His sacrifice is the only sufficient atonement for sin, because He is God, not a finite being. This is the heart of our faith, God Himself has come to save us, and He will return in glory. I love how amazing Scripture is and how there are so many layers. Thank you for your thoughtful comment! God bless.
You are welcome, I’m glad it was encouraging! These are great points. I remember you using John 1:1 in one of your videos too, and this was a good reminder. This is also a good point about identity and ontological. I honestly had to look that word up.
Interesting I have never heard about Matthew 24:36 in relation to the Feast of Trumpets and that makes sense. It’s almost as if they knew back then the sun worked as a perfect clock without change. Yet the moon’s motion was harder to predict.
Colossians 1:15 also makes a lot more sense now, seeing it through the lens of inheritance and status in that culture. That was a new angle for me and gave me a lot to reflect on.
I’m not one to judge exactly what time, though seeing how fast the light side is moving it probably won’t be long until Jesus returns. Also, you are welcome! I appreciate you commenting back and your insights! Thank you!
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the article. And to give my thoughts on your question about the Hebrew Roots movement. I have looked into it and, based on my understanding, I find it problematic and believe it contains teachings that are not in line with biblical doctrine. Thank you for your question!
Hi Alexandra. First of all, based on responses to other comments, it seems like you are doing better with your medical issues. I'm so glad to hear that. I'm praying for your complete and speedy full recovery. And it's wonderful that you can also write as you're convalescing.
This article is phenomenal. A great "apology" (in the classical sense) explaining the centrality of understanding who Jesus is. This is actually the most important question each of us needs to answer, which Jesus asks us -- Who do you say I am? Our answer defines what the nature of our relationship with Jesus will be.
As "followers of Jesus Christ" it's essential that we study the scriptures and truly listen to and absorb the "living water" of the Lord's teachings about himself. Otherwise, we risk following a counterfeit and ending up in the wrong place in the end. The many false Christs will never lead us to the true heavenly kingdom.
I would take your general thesis -- about the true God of the Bible being fundamentally different from the many false gods in the world -- and I would apply that to the person of Jesus as well, and his teachings. All the other voices in the world are essentially repeating the same lies over and over again, in a gigantic echo chamber that started in the Garden of Eden and will continue till the end of the world. Only Jesus ever said anything different. His teachings are unique. It's one reason why he said that his sheep hear his voice. Because his voice is utterly distinct from all other voices.
A thought that kept recurring in my head as I read your article is that I would love for this apologetic to continue on to talking about the Holy Spirit and why he is different from all other spirits. Just a thought.
Thank you! I'm trying my best to take it one day and a time and be patient with my body, but there truly isn't much that will stop me from writing!
I always look forward to your insights. You've done it again: "the most important question each of us needs to answer, which Jesus asks us -- Who do you say I am? Our answer defines what the nature of our relationship with Jesus will be." That’s the heart of everything, isn’t it? Our answer shapes our entire walk with Him and beyond. The way you outlined the distinct voice of Jesus couldn't have been said any better. I really appreciated that insight, it's incredibly powerful. You’re so right about the false Christs leading nowhere good. It’s like the world’s been stuck in that same echo chamber of lies since Eden, but His voice cuts through it all with something completely unique.
I love your idea about diving into the Holy Spirit next! That’s such a great thought; exploring how the Spirit is distinct from all other spirits would be an amazing continuation. It’s like, just as Jesus Christ is set apart from false gods, the Holy Spirit’s work in us is so unique compared to any other force or influence. I’m definitely tucking that idea away for future writing, thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks again for your thoughtful words and blessings. May God keep guiding and blessing you too as you follow His voice! 🙌

Thank you so much, brother Jared! I appreciate you checking in. I'm doing better slowly but surely! I hope you're well too.
Such a good read....as usual. Glad to hear you doing better and praying for better days. Blessings.
Ps: would absolutely love to see articles about other beliefs in contrast.

I'm still learning as well... I've become passionate about learning more and more of the original language of our good Father in heaven!
Thank you again friend for all your good works, and I'm so happy to hear you are home and doing better! 🩷🙏
This makes a lot of sense. I've not heard of the BYNV, that's on my must have list now. Thank you Nurse4truth.
Absolutely, it's eye opening to go through scripture in the original text!
Thank you for making some great scriptural connections that establish the nature of our Father and the difference between man sacrificing offspring to lesser/false elomim and the self-sacrifice of our Salvation.
This particular subject has been a passion of mine from the beginning. The word God does not appear in the original language. The word elohim has been the focus of my study.
Jeff Benner has some fantastic research on it. Using Ancient pictographs it seems that there is far more to be understood. How can the Son be the Father? And where is the Mother. Creation is an image of the Creator, so the answers must be there. I started looking for the word Elohim insofar as it relates to יהוה. The answer, from my work so far, hit me recently. When the Father speaks of himself he is Elohi singular. Adding the יmemי to make Elohim makes the subject matter either plural or to mean bigger or greater. The Hebrew writing by John in the 'New Testament' calls the Word: 'Elohim'. Could it be that Elohim is the Father and the Son in a family unit? The family Elohim? Genesis 1-3 describes the creation of Owr/Light. The Ruach of Elohim fluttered over the waters and Owr existed. Then Luke describes the action of conception of the earthly Son... Luke 1:35. Look at the way the text reads: the Holy Spirit will come upon you and the Most High will overshadow you'.
Gen 1:2,3: ...the Spirit of Elohim hovered/fluttered over the waters and uttered Elohim 'let there be Light/Owr...' John 8:12: '...I am the Light of the world...'
The word 'God', it seems, has been throwing us all off.
In conclusion, I suggest that יהוה the Most High is the Father Elohi, and along with Owr/Light/the Son are Elohim.
Something to chew on.
Beautifully written. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. Nurse4truth has great knowledge on these types of subjects as well. I'm so thankful or this insightful community! I love how you explained this so well and it's absolutely something to pray and think on. While using 'God' is the simplest way to make someone you're speaking with know what page you're on, it's definitely more nuanced as you highlighted. Thank you very much for taking the time to share. It sure does make it hit that much harder when the occultists call their 'salvation' 'light' and who they're truly mocking. Thankfully they lose every time, and will ultimately lose it all.
I appreciate your response Alexandra. Yes, it seems that Nurse4truth is on the same juncture on our path. So much is being revealed in different ways to the Father's children, it's very exciting. The occult certainly has no imagination of its own does it. It seems though, due to the blatant distortion of truth, once you see the trickery it becomes glaringly obvious.
On the subject of Elohim, I do have far far more, the Scriptures have some incredible content and the layers just keep unravelling.
The other member of the Elohim unit was my next point of research on this subject. That opened up a huge can of worms. Gen 1:27 describes the original human form made in the image of 'Elohim'.
It becomes a point of interest how hugely important the family unit is to creation, and how much it is under attack by the opposition, another powerful strategy of the occult.
PS Your good health is in my thoughts and prayers.
Carefully and tightly reasoned, as usual. There are no big surprises in it for me, but it is so helpful, encouraging, and strengthening to have this in one place as a confidence builder and for discussion with others. I really appreciate your pointing out that the belief that Jesus is only human and not divine is not at all compatible with who Yaweh really is. Jesus logically must be both God and Man. That reasoning is is a slightly different perspective I haven't heard that much before, though I have always believed Jesus is both in one person.. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words! I’m so glad you found the article helpful and encouraging. My goal was to provide a resource to build confidence for believers and offer something to draw from and share with others. So I’m really happy it felt that way to you ☺️ I’m thrilled you appreciated the perspective on Jesus as both God and Man too! Thank you for your support! 🙏
Great to hear from you. Always bringing truth. Glad your feeling a little better. Continued prayers. Thank you for taking the time to put together such great insight. We are all blessed because of your efforts to share God's truth. God bless you always. 🙏
Thank you so much for your heartfelt words and prayers! I’m truly touched by your support and encouragement. It’s a blessing to share God’s truth. God bless you always, brother! 🙏
Good read Alexandra, thank you. 1 Kings 18 Elijah confronts the prophets of Baal on Mount Carmel, is one of my favorites also… self sacrifice is key, what a loving Father, how could we not give our all to him for he lead the way. In his blood, covered by the blood of the Lamb to eternal life, what an amazing God! 🫶🏽♥️💕
Thank you for your kind words and for sharing your love for 1 Kings 18! It’s such an amazing display of God’s faithfulness and triumph over evil.
Absolutely, the self-sacrifice of our loving Father is so humbling and inspiring, it truly shows us the way to eternal life through the blood of the Lamb. What an amazing God indeed! 🥰🙏
Thank you very much for the article, I love it! :)
I pray you feel better, full of joy and completely healed! 😄
Thank you so much!! Your prayers on this healing journey mean so much to me.
You're so welcome! It makes me so happy to hear this and that you're feeling better! :)
God bless you!! 😄
Perfectly stated and I love how you give scripture to prove your work. I’m never disappointed! You explain things so easily for folks to understand. Plus they can go read the Bible verses. I really enjoyed this one. Sometimes things are hard to explain and I’ve got what you have written to show the truth. Hope you are feeling well.. I love you doll🥰
Love you too! Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words always. You're in my heart and in my prayers 🙏💕
This was a powerful article! One line really stuck with me: “A finite being’s sacrifice could not cover the eternal debt of sin.” very true. You made a strong and compassionate case for why Jesus has to be God. Not just for theological clarity, though because it reflects God’s justice and love. Your point that a God who sacrifices another wouldn’t reflect John 3:16 was brilliantly said.
I’ve been digging into this topic for a while and have come across ministries like Hanging On His Words and Kingdom in Context that explore the topic a bit differently. Ken from Hanging On His Words teaches that Jesus is “the firstborn of all creation” and was given authority by Father. He sees Jesus' oneness with Father as unity of purpose, not of being.
Two verses I still wrestle with are:
* Matthew 24:36 – “But of that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, but My Father only.”
* Colossians 1:15 – “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation”
Both seem to highlight a distinction between Father and Son that I’m still trying to fully understand within the framework of full divinity. I hope it’s okay to share. This is just something I’ve been processing in my own study. I value your perspective and wanted to hear your take.
If you’re ever curious, here’s a thoughtful 12-minute video from Ken that outlines that view: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB7lhtaC2Kw
Thank you again for writing with clarity and conviction! It’s refreshing to read someone who speaks truth with both strength and grace.
Thank you so much! Your kind words mean a lot to me and bring me so much encouragement. I also appreciate your questions. Yeah, it can be quite a tricky concept to wrap our human minds around for sure. I think a lot on John 1:1: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”, John 10:30: “I and the Father are one.”, Colossians 2:9: “For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form.”
When Jesus says, “Whoever has seen me has seen the Father” (John 14:9), He really isn't speaking metaphorically about unity of purpose, but of essential identity.
The unity between the Father and the Son is not merely functional, but ontological, they share the same divine being. So with that, you bring up good questions about Matthew and Colossians. So, for Matthew 24:36, a lot of people take that literally but it's actually referring to a similarity with the Feast of Trumpets. “No one knows the day or the hour" is itself a reference to the Feast of Trumpets, which was celebrated over two days due to the uncertainty of the new moon’s appearance, emphasizing the mystery and suddenness of Christ’s return. Jesus’ statement does not imply a separation of being, but rather a distinction in role with God.
Colossians 1:15 calls Jesus “the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.” The term “firstborn” here does not mean Jesus was created, but rather speaks to His preeminence and authority over all creation. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the firstborn was the heir and the one who held the rights of inheritance. Paul is emphasizing that Jesus is the rightful ruler and the visible expression of the invisible God, not a lesser being, but the fullness of God in human form. Jesus is fully God, and His sacrifice is the only sufficient atonement for sin, because He is God, not a finite being. This is the heart of our faith, God Himself has come to save us, and He will return in glory. I love how amazing Scripture is and how there are so many layers. Thank you for your thoughtful comment! God bless.
You are welcome, I’m glad it was encouraging! These are great points. I remember you using John 1:1 in one of your videos too, and this was a good reminder. This is also a good point about identity and ontological. I honestly had to look that word up.
Interesting I have never heard about Matthew 24:36 in relation to the Feast of Trumpets and that makes sense. It’s almost as if they knew back then the sun worked as a perfect clock without change. Yet the moon’s motion was harder to predict.
Colossians 1:15 also makes a lot more sense now, seeing it through the lens of inheritance and status in that culture. That was a new angle for me and gave me a lot to reflect on.
I’m not one to judge exactly what time, though seeing how fast the light side is moving it probably won’t be long until Jesus returns. Also, you are welcome! I appreciate you commenting back and your insights! Thank you!
Good message Alexandria , side question what are your thought on the Hebrew roots movement? If you have any thoughts.
Thank you, I'm glad you liked the article. And to give my thoughts on your question about the Hebrew Roots movement. I have looked into it and, based on my understanding, I find it problematic and believe it contains teachings that are not in line with biblical doctrine. Thank you for your question!
Hi Alexandra. First of all, based on responses to other comments, it seems like you are doing better with your medical issues. I'm so glad to hear that. I'm praying for your complete and speedy full recovery. And it's wonderful that you can also write as you're convalescing.
This article is phenomenal. A great "apology" (in the classical sense) explaining the centrality of understanding who Jesus is. This is actually the most important question each of us needs to answer, which Jesus asks us -- Who do you say I am? Our answer defines what the nature of our relationship with Jesus will be.
As "followers of Jesus Christ" it's essential that we study the scriptures and truly listen to and absorb the "living water" of the Lord's teachings about himself. Otherwise, we risk following a counterfeit and ending up in the wrong place in the end. The many false Christs will never lead us to the true heavenly kingdom.
I would take your general thesis -- about the true God of the Bible being fundamentally different from the many false gods in the world -- and I would apply that to the person of Jesus as well, and his teachings. All the other voices in the world are essentially repeating the same lies over and over again, in a gigantic echo chamber that started in the Garden of Eden and will continue till the end of the world. Only Jesus ever said anything different. His teachings are unique. It's one reason why he said that his sheep hear his voice. Because his voice is utterly distinct from all other voices.
A thought that kept recurring in my head as I read your article is that I would love for this apologetic to continue on to talking about the Holy Spirit and why he is different from all other spirits. Just a thought.
May the Lord richly bless you!
Thank you! I'm trying my best to take it one day and a time and be patient with my body, but there truly isn't much that will stop me from writing!
I always look forward to your insights. You've done it again: "the most important question each of us needs to answer, which Jesus asks us -- Who do you say I am? Our answer defines what the nature of our relationship with Jesus will be." That’s the heart of everything, isn’t it? Our answer shapes our entire walk with Him and beyond. The way you outlined the distinct voice of Jesus couldn't have been said any better. I really appreciated that insight, it's incredibly powerful. You’re so right about the false Christs leading nowhere good. It’s like the world’s been stuck in that same echo chamber of lies since Eden, but His voice cuts through it all with something completely unique.
I love your idea about diving into the Holy Spirit next! That’s such a great thought; exploring how the Spirit is distinct from all other spirits would be an amazing continuation. It’s like, just as Jesus Christ is set apart from false gods, the Holy Spirit’s work in us is so unique compared to any other force or influence. I’m definitely tucking that idea away for future writing, thank you for the inspiration!
Thanks again for your thoughtful words and blessings. May God keep guiding and blessing you too as you follow His voice! 🙌
