I love it.
Hello, I am a non-Trinitarian that searched for years for fellow believers. I found this website through Anthony Buzzard, and the Byte Show. I greatly appreciate the work you and others in the One God Conference have done. However, I do have one comment for improvement.
There was a couple there that took several passages from the Bible to dispute the Unitarian statements of One God the Father and one Son the Lord and Messiah. At one point the lady of the couple read a passage from Revelation. I am curious why the speakers did not seem willing to speak more from the Bible in the response to the lady than seemingly theorizing and explaining her scriptures away. Using scripture for scripture, granted I am sure that the speakers were not wanting to spark a debate, but even mentioning some passages might be helpful. I would share these audio files with my Trinitarian friends if there were better scripture based responses. In the Revelation reference of which I speak the lady read from chapter 1 stating that the voice was clearly Jesus. I may be missing something but in chapter 4 John writes of a “first voice”. Based on my limited study of Revelation, it would seem to imply two voices. Those being of one God the Father and one Son the Lord and Messiah. I am in no way complaining, but find it difficult to offer this to others without a scripture for scripture statement.
Please do not take this wrong, I deeply understand the need to avoid heated debates, and maybe there was more stated outside of the recordings. However, responding to scripture with scripture seems to be the strongest of all convincing statements. Thanks to all the speakers and questioners (or answerers). I greatly appreciate these files and hope you will continue to be blessed but the One true God for your work. Thanks again, John Hawkins
John, thanks for stopping by. Just out of curiosity, which file are you referring to? Rev 1 is definitely God speaking and not Jesus.
Howdy Sean,
“Being Proud of our God” near the end of the file is what I am referring to specifically. However, the couple seem to make several points in all the proceeding audio files.
I appreciate your time to respond. I am hoping to strenghen my beliefs in the Unintarian views through your work. I feel like I am standing on the shoulders of giants when I am able to use your and other speakers logic and scripture to support my own conclusions.
Thanks again, John Hawkins
P.S. I am on the west coast, so my response times may be a bit delayed..
John,
I think I remember what you are referring to now. Victor had just finished his rousing message about being proud about the Jesus’ creed of the one God (Mark 12.29-30) and the lady asked an off the wall question unrelated to what Victor had talked about. She had been doing this throughout the entire conference. Victor did not have a desire to answer her question because it was unrelated to what he had just said. I see your point though. From an isolated perspective (that is, if someone just listened to this talk) they may get the idea that Victor did not have an answer for her question and so side stepped her. Thanks for that criticism, often times we are not mindful of the secondary audiences that may access materials.
John, I also wanted to mention that we have many resources related to the subject of the one God on our God is 1 not 3 website. Please feel free to check it out as we have tons of free audio, articles, and videos. Also, we carry a few books on this subject in our online bookstore.
Hey guys,
Thanks so much for putting these messages up for all to listen to. I travel 2hrs each day …
I am downloading these messages and listening. What a blessing. They will also be shared with many others.
Shalom
Stephen
Stephen,
Great to have your on our site! Out of curiosity, how did you come across this site and what are your views about God?
God is my father,Jesus is my Brother.
We all,with them are “Family” the “household”
I recall meeting Rev: Vince Finnigan in UK 1978,the last time
was just before going WOW to Galway.
I have links with CFF,also Sangat Bains
The Teachings of Kingdomready are most practical,more the”doing” than the “done”.
I came upon the KR link just lately,so much to study!!!
Thank you all for your labour of Love.
Sean,
In reference to your response to Brother Hawkins I wholeheartedly agree with you that the message given to us in Revelation comes directly from God the Father for it clearly says; “The Revelation of Jesus Christ, Which GOD gave Him (Yeshua) to show to His servants…..”
Did not Yeshua say over and over again that He only spoke what His Father told Him to say? John 12;50 et al?
Thank you for your web site which discovered today!
