 Good evening, good morning, good afternoon. I actually even hope to do this video, really kind of a pre-recorded, uploaded video. But different things happen, and so it may even probably be better that I do this live. It won't be very long, unless I don't have any intentions of being very long. But I wanted to cover something that I think needs to be brought out. And that is this whole issue of one, the Antichrist, and then how does that relate to the Trinity? I know people get bothered by that term, by that name, because it's not found in the Bible. There's a lot of things that we believe were the exact English wording or the term that we use to govern a particular concept is also not found in the Bible. Now, that being stated, though, I do believe that one, unequivocally, the Bible does promote the concept of the Trinity, whether you want to call it the Trinity or not, but we do believe that Jesus is God. And I do believe even though you cannot understand or put into words or kind of maybe wrap your head around this thought of the Trinity, it is imperative. Also, and this is the second thing that's important, that the Trinity, or I should say this way, the belief that Jesus is God, is important for salvation. I'm going to get to that in just a second. But before I do, I want to also ask you guys to just give me your time. I understand that for some people, this might be bothersome. If it bothersome, listen, then I have no problem with you unsubscribing or unfollowing or not watching. That part is fine. But I am going to obligate myself to telling what I feel is the truth. Now, what I want to do, what I want to do is I want to make sure that you understand a particular rule that thus far really hadn't been debunked. It is a rule when it comes to, and this is a Greek rule, by the way, that determines that two or in some cases three things stated might mean the same thing. Some of you all may have heard this rule before. It's called the Granville Sharp rule. It is a rule that we find in Greek. And I want to go ahead and put it on the screen. As a matter of fact, I'm going to go ahead and type it in. I want you all to see what I'm looking at. So let me just go ahead and type in Granville Sharp, Granville. And there's all the different books that I may have. The different grammars are going to speak about this. Let me just, I'm going to pull up two different, two examples of the definition of it and try to make it as a little planer as I possibly can. It can be a little bit difficult to understand, but I'm going to try to make it easy. And what it basically says, as a matter of fact, let me open this one from the pocket New Testament Greek dictionary. It says this, that a grammatical dictum stating that when two or more personal, singular, substantive, not proper names are joined by Chi and governed by a single article, they refer to the same person. This type of construction is often signified by TSKS. What that means is, let me break it down. When you have two substantives or basically two nouns, that's just a fancy way of saying noun, two nouns that are preceded by a definite article, the, and they are separated by the Chi, or which is the English word for and, then we have the basis for a Granville sharp rule. Now, not every last one of those constructions are the same as a matter of fact. There's a couple of guidelines that actually go with that. There's just, and just to make it easy, it can be difficult, but here's kind of basically how it is that of those nouns. And I'm going to show you guys a couple of examples. So you can kind of see what I'm saying. But of those nouns, the nouns, the, the substantives cannot be, impersonal, like a book, a rock, a door, are you with me? So the book and the door, okay? They have to be, they cannot be impersonal. They're pretty much personal the other way. Two, that neither noun can be plural, okay? They have both nouns that are separated by the Chi, or separated by the and have to be singular. And then third, neither are proper names. Now they can refer to someone, but they aren't, they aren't themselves proper names, are you with me? Let me pull up one more example. I think, you know what, without going to the, to the examples, let's go ahead now and just look at the different biblical examples that we have in the Bible. I want to go to 2nd Peter chapter one, verse 11. So let's put that on the screen. 2nd Peter chapter one, verse 11 says, for in this way the interest into the internal kingdom of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Now we can look at that and we can see that the Lord and Savior, these both fit that because here we have over in the Greek, the, the definite article, to curio, curio, which is the Lord separated by and Chi and the Savior, are you with me? And now we all believe that the Lord and Savior, both of those nouns refer to one person, are you with me? That's basically what the Granville sharp rule does. It helps us to identify that these two nouns that are separated and you have the noun separated by Chi and then the noun again. And again, neither of those nouns are impersonal, neither of those nouns are plural, and neither of those nouns are proper names. Again, they refer to someone, but they themselves aren't necessarily proper names. Are you with me? And so we have that and no one would deny that, that the Lord is Jesus and Savior is Jesus. Are you with me? So here we have this construction, the Lord and Savior. As a matter of fact, here is a more controversial example that proves what we call the trinity or proves that Jesus is God. Let's go to Titus, 213. And he says, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior. So now the question is, is great God and Savior, is that also part of that construction? Well, it also fits that because if we go to it, let's see if we can find the definite article. The, there it is, the. And then let's see if we have for God, our great God here it is, theu. And then it's separating this noun from this noun, God and Savior, the other noun with the word chi. And so we have that construction, the TSKS. The substantive, k, the chi, and another substantive, which is a noun. So basically the noun chi noun. Are you with me? That is where the rule is stated. And so even in this passage, we can look at Titus 213 and prove just by the grammatical structure, the Greek structure of this shows that Jesus is both God and Savior. And you could probably see that when you look at it, even in the English how it's put out, our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ. So, okay, let me, let me ask this question because it's going to come up. I am eight, I want you to, I want you to do your best to see if there is another way of seeing things. Maybe we are not as mature as we think we ought to be. And so I grant that for myself, I grant that for you or anyone else. You ought to see as though maybe I just don't know as much as I ought to. Now, I would ask you this question because there are going to be a lot of people out there who think that, well, we don't need to even look at the Greek. Why should we look at the Greek? Greek, Greek, Greek, Greek. Who cares? I speak English. Well, here's why you care. You tell me the Bible translation that you read, whether it be the King James Version, New King James Version, ESV, NASB. You tell me, NIV, NLT. You tell me and I will tell you that the English words that you are reading are a translation or a commentary that some Greek scholar or scholars put on that to give you the English word. That English word, first of all, no one in the Bible spoke English. English wasn't even or it was not a language on the planet at that time. God sovereignly gave us. Why did he do so? Don't know. But he did. The people that were around at that time in the region spoke, when we look at the Old Testament, primarily Hebrew. There is some smattering of Aramaic and it's not too difficult because Aramaic and Hebrew are both Semitic languages. And so they're cousins, which is why a lot of times you see some of the same words in Aramaic or Arabic or Hebrew sound exactly the same, such as the word ak or Aki, which is brother, right? Now, the same thing can be said for the Greek. The New Testament during the times of Jesus, first century Palestinian Jews at that time had not too long ago been in captivity, but now they're under Roman rule, just like most of at least the historical world that we know of was under Roman rule. Prior to that, the world was under Greek rule. When Rome conquered, Rome still kept the lingua franca as Greek. They weren't going to go to every place they conquered and make them learn Greek or make them learn Latin or whatever language they wanted. That'd be nearly impossible. But since everyone pretty much was speaking Greek, that was the lingua franca like today. The lingua franca really in the world, but especially in the Western Hemisphere and in Western society is English. Are you with me? So you and I speak English, though we're not Englishmen. We're not English. We just speak English. People in Mexico speak Spanish often, but they're not Spaniards. Are you with me? And so the reason why to answer your question, why will anyone judge the Bible through Greek lenses? Because if you don't, you don't have a Bible. We simply do not have a Bible if you don't know Greek. Now you don't know it, but someone who gave you your English Bible did so. Same thing with Hebrew. So I want to correct you on that. I would not, as Paul would say, want to have you unlearned. I don't want you going around saying that the Greek or the Hebrew is not important. It is. You have your Bible because of that. Thank you, Wayne Jackson for Super Chat. I appreciate that. So that being stated, as we look at this particular Greek rule, remember every language has rules. English does, Spanish does, French does. If I called you a name, if I said you are the biggest idiot, and you got upset, and you got upset, and I said, no, don't get upset. Why should you get upset? And you say, well, because you called me an idiot, but I said, but an idiot, a big idiot is a, that's an endearing term. That's a compliment. And you would look at me as though that's not true. That's not true. And so you'd be right because words have meaning. How I use the word, if I say, bless your heart, I, obviously that's become synonymous with us being, kind of as a put down. Something's wrong with you. God bless his heart. Lord help him. Are you with me? And so how I say something when I say it also matters as well. Okay. Erica says, please pray for my husband brother. Okay. Lord bless Erica. I don't know what the situation is, but you do. And so I pray that you pray that you would govern that household and pray that whatever is the problem, that there would be some sort of a restitution, some sort of healing, and that you would get the glory. Probably asking your wonderful name, amen. So now let's go ahead and continue. Now what I want you guys to do is if you disagree, do me a favor, try your best to disagree in silence, but at the very least, disagree respectfully. Are you with me? So now let's go ahead and continue. So the Granville rule, Granville's rule states, and by the way, people have tried to debunk it, but they just have not. It is you go back and you just try it and try it and try it and it just stands. So that is the rule. Let me give you a couple of examples and then we're going to go ahead and I'll tell you what, we're going to go ahead and make our point. The point is this. First of all, if we go back to the Old Testament, the Bible is clear that the Lord is God. The Lord is God. We find that in Deuteronomy chapter four, verse 35, he says to you, it was shown that you might know that the Lord, he is God. There is no other beside him out of heavens. He let you hear his voice to discipline you and on the earth, he let you see his great fire. And you heard his words from the midst of the fire. Now, obviously we're speaking of who? When he says you heard his words from the midst of the fire. Well, we're speaking of God. Then we go down to verse 39. We see the same thing reiterate. He says, no, verse 39, therefore today, and to take it to your heart that the Lord, he is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other. So what do we understand from that? Just look at the passage again. From there, we know that the Lord is God. There is no other. There is no other God. There is no other Lord. Why is that important? Because what is starting to happen, guys, and this is the sad part, more and more people are going to start denying basic tenants of Christianity, things that were never in dispute or really for that matter, in dispute that much. But now we're seeing heresies being embraced more and more. Think about it this way, and you all tell me if you disagree. Whatever is a sound teaching we have over here, whatever is an unsound or heresy that we have over here, the heresy is going to grow in popularity. The sound doctrine is going to decrease. That's going to happen. You pick the sound doctrine and you tell me are more and more people subscribing to that sound doctrine, whatever it is. For example, Jesus died on the cross for our sins. Are more and more people subscribing to that or are more and more people denying that? Well, we know the truth. More and more people are denying even that basic fundamental tenant of Christianity. More and more people are subscribing to different heresies. God is a woman. God is okay with homosexuality. Abortion is fine. Now you and I disagree with that, but more and more people are going to be okay with that. Are you with me? And so you pick the sound part of the doctrine, whatever you think is good, less and less people are going to hear them. And Jesus says so. And then more people are going to find whatever unhealthy, what unsound doctrine there is. Paul says so. The time will come when people will not endure sound doctrine, but what will they do? They will go because they have itching years. They will find someone to teach and preach what they want to hear. So now if we know that the Lord is God, that's the truth, even in our English. I didn't have to read that in Hebrew, but even in English, we're going to have more and more people denying that basic tenant. Let me give you where this started at. And that is so true, Chess Champ. This is what we call the great fall in the way or professed Christians, not necessarily true Christians, but professed Christians, even in our church buildings are going to start denying and chipping away and not holding too securely basic tenants of Christian doctrine. Where did this start? This started from the very first time that the enemy, that is Satan, spoke to a human being. In Genesis 3, we see the devil in the garden speaking to Eve. And what did he say? Did God really say? So the first thing he's going to do is impugn the Word of God. Are you sure that God said that? Is that really what the Word says? That's the first thing that Satan does. The second thing is similar. It flows from it. And that is, well, I'm not so sure if that's what the Word actually says. If that should be what you should. That's not true. But even if it is, are you sure that's what he meant? Did God say? And then what does he say to her after she repeats to him what God says? She says, well, that's not true. For God surely knows that when you eat of it, you'll be like him. And so now not only are we trying to disprove or say that, are we sure? That's what the Bible says. The next point is, are we sure that's what God's Word meant? And so what has Satan been doing all along? Those two things. All of that has been wrapped up in a nice paper wrapping or nice selfish wrapping. It's about me. So go do you do whatever you want. That's what is the genesis of or the reason for this moving away, this falling away from sound teaching. Because it fits me. And the way to go about doing it, the basis of going about moving away from sound doctrine, from falling away from not faith, not falling away from faith, we're falling away from the faith. We're not falling away from having faith, but people are falling away from the faith. And so the way they do so is to attack the very Word itself. Is that what God said or is that what God meant? Those are the only two tricks that Satan has. And guess what? They work. They work in this world. Are you with me? So we know that the Lord is God. The Lord is God, according to that. And so more and more people are going to reject that. I don't mean non-Christians. I don't mean non-Christians. I mean people who call themselves Christians. They will fall away from even that basic tenet. They'll fall away from the fact did Jesus really die for our sins? They'll fall away from that. Now, not the people who actually had faith, but those people who... This is the faith. This is the bedrock of the faith. They'll fall away from that. And one of the bedrocks of the faith is that Jesus is God. Now, why is that important? And why would I even title this? Why would he be in the thumbnail about the Antichrist? What the Antichrist believes? Now, you do not want to be on the same side as the Antichrist, but I want to pull up something regarding the Antichrist. And I also want to bring up this Granville Sharp Rule. All right, with me. Now, one last time, the Granville Sharp Rule states that if you got the, which is the definite article, so we'll just say the, and then a substantive, which is a noun separated by a, I mean, and, chi, and, and then the noun again. Another noun. Then you have the makings of this Granville Sharp Rule, which state that these nouns or another case, three of those nouns, would equal the same thing. Let me give you a famous passage that is also a part of the Granville Sharp Rule. And this is also going to have implications somewhere else. Let's go to Matthew 2819. You all have heard of Matthew 2819. Let's go and look at what this passage says. And we'll see that this is also showing or proving the Granville Sharp Rule. Look what he says. Jesus says, therefore, go therefore and make disciples of all nations. And here it is baptizing in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Here we have that same construct, the noun and the noun. And so we have really have three nouns. Now, what does that tell us? Well, what it tells us is, you know when some people will say that you have to be baptized in Jesus' name, but then we have baptized in the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit and we're trying to tell us it's the same thing, the same thing. Well, this is that rule coming into play. The Granville Sharp Rule used here in the case that these, the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, that they are fulfilling the rule of Granville Sharp and they are pointing to the same person. Just like our Lord and Savior is Jesus Christ. Just like our great God and Savior is Jesus. Are you with me? And so now here's where this becomes an issue. Let's go to 1st John 2. Says, Who is the liar, but the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? Now, it's important to understand what he's saying about Jesus is the Christ because something, well, yeah, I believe there are some people who will say that Jesus is not God, but they believe he's a Christ. Okay, fine. Well, that part is important. You must believe that he's the Messiah, that he is the Christ. But look at what else it says. This is the Antichrist. Here it is. This is the Antichrist, the one who denies the Father and the Son. Now, why am I pointing to verse 22? Because guess what we have here? We have that very same rule, the Granville Sharp rule, also here. Let's pull up and let's show it. This is the Antichrist, the one who denies, and here it is, Tom Patera. So we have the, we have a noun, we have Kai, and we have another noun, Huion. That is the Granville Sharp rule. Now, we have to figure out, do we have impersonal nouns, like the rock, the door, the tree, no, these are not impersonal. They're personal. They are all, they're all singular and they're not plural. And they're not proper names. Are you with me? Let's put it back on the screen. We have the Father and the Son. Those are not, now, they're referring to somebody specifically, but in and of themselves, they are not proper names. Are you with me? So what we have here is, this is the Antichrist. The one, and it really is the one that's denying, whoever it is that's denying, the Father and Son. Now, why is that important? Because you have to, in order to have this Antichrist, or to be Antichrist, if you think it's referring to the Antichrist, but it's not referring to Antichrist, so that same sort of attitude and spirit, you have to deny and look at the construction of the light, I mean of the sentence, you have to deny the Father and the Son, but it's necessarily calling the Father and Son one. And you have to deny that. Now, somebody might disagree and it's fine. The problem is, we have this rule as a rule. Again, I did not invent Greek. I didn't make up the rules. I would have wished that everyone on the planet spoke English. If they would have spoke English from the very beginning up to now, but they didn't. And so we have to, we have to tend to the rules. Are you with me? And so now we're going to look at this and think about this also in English. Because even if the Greek is bothersome to you, which I don't know why it would be, but if the Greek is bothersome to you, fine. Why would there be, why would there be this statement, the one who denies the Father and the Son? Well, what do you mean even in our English mind? How would you, what do you mean denying the Father and the Son? How do you deny the Father and the Son? Well, let's continue. Let's go to 1st John 4 and let's see what's brought up. As a matter of fact, let's start in verse one of chapter 4. He says, Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. But of course, people look at us and get bothered with us because we bring this up, that there are false prophets, but the Bible literally says that there are anti-Christ that have come into the world. Because many false prophets have gone out into the world. Verse two, by this you know the spirit of God. Every spirit that confesses Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God. But what he's saying, every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is God, is, I mean, I'm sorry, is from God. How many people are denying that Jesus Christ is coming to the flesh? He's not saying that he actually walked very few folks even at that time were denying that then. Very few were denying that. However, his point is there are people that deny that this is God coming to the flesh. That's his point. Now we already talked about this. He brought this up, what he uses in this grammatical rule in chapter one. Now we're in chapter four. He says in every spirit that does not confess that Jesus is. Now this word here from God, if we go over here is act to say oh, which is not necessarily from, but this act is either from or of. And what is trying to connote is that it is a genitive of. It is of the essence that Jesus is of God or from God. And every spirit that does not confess that Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the end of Christ. So the person that's walking around, not confessing or refusing to confess that Jesus is God. This is the spirit of end of Christ. Now, does that mean that the person is anti, is the anti Christ or the anti Christ? Because you could grow and develop. You can start off believing that Jesus is not God. You can start off believing that Jesus, that there is no truth. It may be that you don't have, you have no idea, no understanding of it. It's a hard concept. It could be foreign to you, which makes sense. We're trying to explain the unexplainable. We're trying to spell out, write out, draw out someone that is just above our imagination. Who he is, how he exists, is just really unfathomable. There's nothing or no one like him. And so that's the issue. And so like you said, kind of said it is a spirit behind it. There's a demonic spirit behind getting you to believe that Jesus is not God. It really is. Some are going to be bothered by that. Now, the reason why I read Deuteronomy 4 is because clear, clearly, let me answer this question too, are oneness Christians believers in so far as they don't know what they mean and they don't intentionally deny it? Meaning this, there are a lot of oneness. Matter of fact, there's a lot of Christians period who don't know what it is they believe anyway. There are a lot of oneness. There are a lot of Catholics. There are a lot of Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses. And I mean, what I mean by that, those who sit under a Catholic, Jehovah's Witness, Mormon or oneness umbrella don't know the tenets of that particular group, but they believe that they needed a Savior, place of faith in Christ. And then I believe if they truly did, the Holy Spirit is going to work in them better than me or anyone else can, it's going to work in them and cause their heart and brain to have a disconnect and then be led away from those places. I've seen it time and time again where someone placed their faith in Christ in a kingdom hall, in a LDS church, in some in a Catholic mass, realizing that there's something missing, placed their faith in Christ and then grew and then ultimately grew out of that. And so I have a buddy who, and he still calls himself oneness, although it was funny about it, he doesn't hold to the oneness tenets anymore. He doesn't hold to what oneness believe or with me. And so he has, he still goes there to a oneness church primarily because, I'm just going to be honest with that particular church, their doctrine and all that, all that sharp anyway. So it's not like a lot of folks there are leaning on strong doctrine and most of them have no idea. As a matter of fact, the pastor is almost like, when you listen to him half the time, he doesn't even sound like he's oneness. So he goes there and his goal is just because he relates to people there. He still wants to show the gospel and he's open to one growing and teaching people and sharing what the truth is as he's learning himself. Now, if you ask one of them, are they? They'll tell you, you ask a Catholic, as he say. Ask a Muslim, he may or may not. Ask a Jehovah's Witness, ask a Mormon, they'll tell you, sure. Name the cult person, the person in the cult that doesn't believe that they're right. Name the person on the planet that doesn't believe that they're right. And so now we're not going, because people are asking me questions, we're not going to get to a big exhaustive discussion over the Trinity. But, Deuteronomy 4, he says in two places, that the Lord is God. The Lord is God. We've covered Exodus 3, where we see this burning bush. And in the midst of the burning bush, the person who calls out to Moses out of the burning bush in Exodus 3 is called the Lord, is called the Angel of the Lord, and is called God. And then gives another title, a name, I am. So we have that, those are that as the name, given to the person that's calling out of the midst of the burning bush. Then again, keep in mind, the Lord is God. Well, we are told in Romans chapter 10 that we must confess that Jesus is Lord. Verse nine, chapter 10, that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart, that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved. So what is imperative? What must you absolutely do to be saved? There is no if, ands, buts, about it. If you have not confessed that Jesus is not a Lord, but the Lord, if you have not confessed that, then you could not, cannot, are not, will never be an actual Christian. You are not Christ. In order to be saved, you must say, you must confess, you must acknowledge that Jesus is the Lord. Well, someone's gonna say, wait a second, I don't see the word the, I don't see the definite article. Now, if I tell you it's implied, some folks will believe that, some folks will not. But that's fine. So what we do is we go, we continue reading and see if even Paul goes on to say that he is the Lord. For verse 10, for with the heart, a person believes resulting in righteousness and with the mouth he confesses resulting in salvation. For the scripture says, whoever believes in him will not be disappointed. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call him, for whoever calls on the name of the, and there it is for anyone who wants to have the the there, for whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. Are you with me? So now, if you do not call on Jesus as the Lord, you absolutely cannot be saved. Do you necessarily understand it? You may or may not, I don't know. Are there a lot of things that we place our faith in and not sure how this thing works? Yeah, as a matter of fact, practically speaking, we do this every day. How many of you all drive a car and have no idea how this thing runs? Whether it's a gas or an electric vehicle. I'm one of this, this electronic stuff. I have no idea. I have no idea how these screens work. I have no idea how these keyboards work. I have no idea whatsoever how any of this stuff works. But I do trust that it works. Once I turn it on, I'm trusting it's going to work. I trust when I go heat my coffee up, start this stuff up. I don't know how the chemicals work. I don't know why hot water breaks down these little instant coffee grinds. Don't know. I don't know what it is about the little sweetener that I put in there, but I know that once I put it together, how the microwaves work and heat them. I don't know. I just know this. I got hot coffee or with me. Again, if you disagree, that's fine. That's fine. If you disagree, let me just say this bluntly. You're not safe. You're not a Christian. Yeah, some folks say, well, I don't care about being Christian. The Bible doesn't speak about being a Christian. Well, yeah, it does. As a matter of fact, even Peter calls us Christians. And so the fact of the matter is, and you can deny it, but that goes back to my point that I said in the very beginning, in the very beginning, whatever is sound doctrine, whatever is sound doctrine, it will decrease in acceptability. Whatever is unsound doctrine will increase. For example, when people say things like this, is the word Trinity in the Bible? No, it's not, sir. Is the word Bible in the Bible? You tell me what word needs to be there. Again, I don't have, I don't have to call the Trinity. Jesus is God, Jesus is Lord. There's one faith, one baptism, one Lord. Are there two Lords or one Lords? There's one. If there's one Lord, according to the Bible, that's in the Bible, one Lord. How many Lords do you think there are? There's one. And the Lord is God. If the Lord is God and Jesus is Lord, you must confess that Jesus is the Lord or he is the God. Now, why do you all think that more and more people, such as a few of these people in the chat already, are even stating that he's not God? There is no Trinity. Because again, people's understanding, their disbelief, their intentional disregarding of the word of God is going to grow. It is going to grow. It's going to grow more and more. You're going to find more people who, again, I don't know how many people on the planet today disbelieve the Trinity. But I can promise you this. In a year, in five years, in 10 years, there will be more. I don't know how many people believe that Jesus is God and that trust that the Trinity is true. But I can tell you this. In a year, five years and 20 years, there'll be less. There will be less people that will he sound doctor. Now, somebody's going to come back and say these unfounded ridiculous things. The Catholic Church started this or the Council of Nicea, which is not true at all. We've got manuscripts that predate the Catholic Church and the Council of Nicea. And this was already an accepted belief amongst people in the Church. So now, that being stated, whether you are the anti... I'm not calling someone who doesn't believe the Trinity, the anti-Christ. What I can tell you is this. The anti-Christ himself will deny the Trinity. The anti-Christ... And by the way, can I ask you guys a question? Why do you think John goes through great links to bring up? The only time anti-Christ is mentioned is by John. And he mentions it interestingly enough in regards to Jesus's deity. And we know that Jesus's deity is in play here, even grammatically because the Granville Sharp rule is in play here. Why do you think that John wants us to know that this is one, a spirit of the anti-Christ and the anti-Christ himself will deny the Trinity? Why do you think so? Because it's important. Because it's important. This is not some secondary issue. This is not some... You know what? It's like, should we be post-trib or mid-trib? Or pre-trib? No, it's not that. By the way, those are important doctrines as well. Eschatology is very important. But there's a reason why John is... As a matter of fact, there's a reason why John is the one who speaks more, I would say more, but he speaks a lot about the deity of Christ. He speaks about the deity of Christ. He opens his book, John 1-1. In the beginning was the word. The word was with God and the word was God. And if we go even in the Greek, it's proven grammatically there. Because we have a pre-verbal predicate nominative that is describing the subject. The rules of grammar dictate that that predicate nominative is telling us or describing what the head or the main noun is, which is the word. The predicate nominative is God. So it describes what the word is. That's just Greek grammar. Disagree all you want, but it is what it is. And so don't find yourself, my friends. If you're disagreeing now, I pray that at some point in time in the future that you open your mind and say, you know, I'm open to be wrong. Now I've been there. I've been there. I was one of these guys. Matter of fact, I was one of those guys who, I didn't persecute the church like Paul, but I picked on Christians. And I thought they were all fools. I thought that maybe this entire book is wrong. How do you know that this is all a big, big fake? All of those things. This is, and I'll respond to this the last time. I says, in John 1.1, Theos and Theon, Corey, you have no clue what you're talking about. I guess you're trying to make, this is what he's trying to do, guys. Let me just put it on the screen. John 1. This is what he's trying to do for John 1.1. And then we'll be through with this. Now, he says, let's go back to what he says. He says Theos and Theon, meaning what? Meaning what? The first time that we see the word Theon is the God. And then we see Theos, the second time for God is used. Now, then we see verse two. He was in, in the beginning was with God. Verse two. He was in the beginning with God. Now, the word Theon is used there, in the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. So, Theon here, and the word was God. So, and the word was God. Then we have, and the word was, I'm sorry, and the word was God. Are we trying to say, is he trying to say that this Theos, and that Theos are two different ones? Well, he doesn't understand. What we have are different case endings. In Greek, and I'm gonna help you out, was silverback banana scripts 144. That's a horrible name for your, changing to something else. Just shortening, just be CBBS. I don't know, be something different. But, the reason why you have the new at Theon in one, and the Sigma, Theos another, is because you have what's called these different case endings. In Greek, there are 24 possible cases, well not 24 different case endings, but there are 24 cases. You have singular and plural for each. And there are three categories. Either they be masculine, which has four. You have what's called the, excuse me, the nominative, the genitive, and you have the dative and the accusative. You have the nominative, genitive, dative and accusative, but you also have it singular and plural, in the masculine. You have the same eight in the feminine. And you have the same eight in the neuter. And so you're gonna have the same word, sometimes changed differently. Sometimes you're gonna have a word that may have a letter added just for pronunciation sake. A lot of times you see in Greek what's called the movable new. You'll have a new added to the end just because it helps with the pronunciation. Are you with me? We have the same thing in English. The word a and the word an, an is the exact same word. Why do we have an an instead of an a, instead of saying a apple, we have an apple. Why? It helps with the pronunciation. Are you with me? And so no, I don't know the point they're trying to make, but the point that should be made is the word was with God and the word was God, which is why as Jesus is getting ready to die, he says, give me back the glory that I had with you in the very beginning. The glory was someone who he said will never share his glory, the glory that he had at the very beginning, the very beginning of what? In the beginning was the word, the word was with God and the word was God. And so again, my friend, without you intently and intensively trying to fight me, listen to the word, if you want to get into the Greek, that's fine. But what you ought to do is whatever the word takes you, go with it. When Jesus, we don't know exactly of what and to what degree did he empty himself but the Bible is clear that he who was in the form of God did not consider robbery to be equal with God. So he was equal with God. That wasn't a problem with him. And what did he do on his own? He emptied himself and came in the form of less than angels, like a lowly man, even unto the point of death. What did he empty himself of? Not of deity, but to some degree of glory because as he's getting ready to go back, he says, give me back the glory that God will never share with anyone. So he must be God, give me back the glory that I had in the very beginning. And so, disagreed, that's fine. Anyone that you know on this planet that will not accept that Jesus is God, I would say this, get a good look at them because you will not see them in heaven because they cannot go unless they bow down in a repentant fashion, recognizing that the God of universe took on flesh, which makes sense. The God of the universe took on fire, wrapped himself in fire in Exodus three. And while he wrapped himself in fire in Exodus three, he was still supremely represented in heaven. His fullness was in heaven. And while his fullness was in heaven and while he had wrapped himself in fire on earth, his spirit still dwelt among men on the rest of the planet. And so he can do the exact same thing. However, this time, instead of wrapping himself in fire, he can now wrap himself in flesh, still be in heaven, his spirit still be all over the world. That is what we call the Trinity. That is who we place our faith in. That is the one who himself decided he would come and bear the brunt of pain, the brunt of punishment for our sins. He would pay the price that he was required of us, which is blood, blood that we could not afford, we didn't have enough of and supplied, nor not only would we not have enough quantity, we didn't have enough quality of it. And so he paid the price for us because he loved us. And all you have to do, as Roman said, Paul says, confess that he is Lord, the Lord. And we know the Lord is God. Confess that, place your faith in him. The Bible says you shall be saved. You can't wrap your head around that. If you can't bring yourself to say that, then love your brother, love your sister, but you won't be where I'm going to go, which is in heaven with my father. Amen.
