— Day of First-fruits (17th of Abib), 179 JE —
Today, during this Pascal season, it just occurred to me why Trinitarianism is so evil and has so corrupted Bible religion. If JEHOSHUA is GOD Himself, then it brings GOD all the way down to our level and to die as us. It is the same problem with the Eucharist and everything pantheistic: GOD is brought down to the level of creation, and in effect eating the eucharist, because of Trinitarianism, is eating GOD Himself. But where did the apostasy begin—with the Trinity doctrine?
No. It began with obliterating GOD’S calendar, thus bringing humans up to the level of GOD. This happened when the Roman emperor Hadrian banned the Sabbath and holy days in 135 CE; most Christians went along with it. Yet the original commandment given to us, the children of Israel, was His calendar and Abib being the first of months. All the appointed times of GOD’S calendar are about exalting the SON OF GOD and the means by which we worship GOD, including morning and evening worship. He gives us time set apart for His worship so that we do not exalt ourselves and eventually try to bring GOD down to our level. He alone has the authority to arrange time; He alone governs the movements of the earth in relation to the sun and moon. This is why I protest the Gregorian calendar; it is an affront on GOD. And it was by this supposed authority to change the very basis of our religion (the calendar) that Rome assumed to power to change law itself. This has been all prophesied by we have missed it.
And he shall speak great words against the MOST HIGH, and shall wear out the saints of the MOST HIGH, and think to change appointed times and law.
Daniel 7:25
What is the changing of GOD’S appointed times all about? Legislating (by words) against what GOD has legislated. This is what later led to Trinitarianism and the whole realm of philosophical theology in Christendom. Man creates a religion for himself that exalts man and brings down GOD to our level. And I hate to say it, but this is what mainstream Adventism has become, through avenues such as Andrews (Andrew himself would be horrified), the BRI, and many other institutions. The ideas of man replace the Word of GOD, which is explained away. Man is exalted. This is what 1888 was supposed to overcome, but the message was rejected, and kingly power came in.
Mainstream Adventism has framed itself to be just another denomination among “mainline Protestantism.” The result? The exalted status GOD gave us is lost. We should be the ones on CNN, Fox, and other major news networks. Our religion should be both so pervasive and peculiar that the world cannot ignore us. But no! Instead, the Catholic Bishop Barron, from right here in Minnesota, represents Christianity to the world. He believes and openly teaches that man is to have glory in religion. His Palm Sunday sermon a week ago was entitled “All the Way Down.” That is his Catholic religion. That is why the crucifix is exalted: exalting the idea that GOD came all the way down, rather than the MESSIAH reconciling us with GOD who remains exalted; this is the same reason why crosses are exalted in Satanism, for they glory in bringing death to GOD. That is why the Roman calendar exalts “saints” by giving them a place in their calendar, so that man is exalted and not GOD, through the gospel. That is why there are great cathedrals and images—the works of man. That is why priests can forgive sins and administer grace. It all comes down to man exalting himself to GOD’S level, and taking on the prerogatives of GOD.
So, let us revive Protestantism and complete the protest against the exaltation of man.
Let us reject the papal calendar and hang GOD’S calendar on our wall, honoring His holy days.
Let us reject Trinitarianism and and instead believe that GOD is a person—the FATHER—and not an essence on the level of creation.
Let our women wear head coverings when in public to veil the glory of man, which their long hair symbolizes (1 Cor. 11:7, 15); and let us all cover our limbs when in public instead of exposing or exalting our nakedness, which is biblically shame (Isa. 47:2-3), with women covering their pants with skirts as well to veil their form and not appear as men.
Let us worship GOD with our faces to the ground instead of praying so irreverently as we do today.
Let us never speak the titles or names of GOD or His SON quickly and without due reverence to His glory; I even choose to use all caps or small caps when writing them out, in protest against the profane way they are commonly read and to remind the reader that their Names are holy.
Let us teach the whole gospel, dwelling especially on the cross, in which the LORD JEHOSHUA justified unto life all mankind (Rom. 5:18), even before we ever believed, thus teaching the Protestant principle of grace alone so that GOD receives all the glory in saving us, not confusing grace with faith and works, which we play a role in but have no part in securing our salvation, which is already finished in the MESSIAH.
Let us never make a public statement of faith that is not the very words of GOD. Creeds are simply words of man taking the place of the Word of GOD. We are to believe His Word, which has power to do what it says. The words of man cannot do this, for they lack the creative power of GOD. Furthermore, Bible religion is much more about what we do than what we believe.
Let us keep GOD’S Torah Law, as well as all of the commandments of His SON and His apostles and prophets. Let the ministers no longer hover over churches but raise up new assemblies all over the world; let preacher no longer take over the assembly services by not allowing GOD to be exalted in praise and testimony services to His glory in which all should be encouraged to take part.
And then let us hold an Advent Feast of Tabernacles all over the world (Zech. 14), and hold firmly to the peculiar Bible religion which I have been trying to describe, so that we become so pervasive and peculiar that the world can no longer ignore us.
The point is not having do’s and don’ts, though that is how the commandments of GOD are worded in the Bible. You may not see or agree with all these things yet and may need to study them, but they are what GOD requires; they are for His glory, and that is the point. They may be controversial, but that is because Satan has a controversy against GOD and His SON and tries to overthrow their government. Today is the day that our LORD JEHOSHUA was resurrected, so that He could reign in our hearts. Will we let Him reign, or self reign?
In the time of the end every divine institution is to be restored.
Prophets and Kings, p. 678
The Bible is our religion, and JEHOVAH GOD is to be exalted, as peculiar as it is. All of the traditions that replace biblical Christianity are to be laid in the dust. Let this day of First-fruits be a resurrection of pure Bible religion in our lives and a revival of Protestantism. By seeking to be like the world and other denominations in our beliefs and practices, we have debased ourselves into the same apostasy, lowering GOD’S Kingdom, which is to be established in the twelve tribes of Israel in the 144,000 at the end of time.
If you have not yet seen our new Reformation page describing the biblical reforms to take place among us, please do so. Please do not feel condemned if you do not see all these things yet, but please do your diligent study of the biblical and Spirit of Prophecy texts brought out on that page.
