Punished for serving the Trinity God

 “How shall I pardon thee for this? Thy children have forsaken Me, and sworn by them that are no gods [Elohim]….

Shall I not visit for these things? saith the LORD: and shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this? 

Go ye up upon her walls, and destroy; but make not a full end: take away her battlements; for they are not the LORD's. 

For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against me, saith the LORD.” (Jer. 5:7,9-11).

 

When God decided to create humanity, He had nothing but excellence— perfection—in His mind. God’s ideal for humankind was supernatural. As we read from the book of Genesis, God created everything, and behold, it was “very good” (Gen. 1:31)—not simply good, but very good. We were indeed made perfect in every aspect. What does it mean, however, for us to be created perfect? Ellen White has described what this means: “Man was to bear God’s image, both in outward resemblance and in character. (Collegiate Sabbath School Quarterly, 2 nd quarter 1999, pages 12-14, ‘Our Human Nature’)

But God did not create man; that is, as the Trinitarians want to say it, that the Trinity God directed the creation of man. Christ, Messiah the Prince, the Lord God at the command of, and by the empowering love of, His Father He created man from the dust of the ground, and woman from man’s side. The Father “created all things by Jesus Christ.” (Eph. 3:9). God, the Father, in creating humanity did the part that only He could do, while His only Begotten Son did the part that only He could do. “Man” meant “mankind”, as in “male and female”. “In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.” (Gen. 5:1,2). And “man in Our image” (Gen. 1:26) meant two persons made in the likeness of Father and His only Begotten, since “in the likeness of God made He him; male and female create He them”. No Trinity god created anything except a niche in which to place himself as “the Most High” (Isa. 14:14). Being that the Ancient of days “Him that liveth for ever and ever” (Rev. 4:10) initiated our creation, and being that He is in every way superior to His Son, as He is the Father of the Prince, He gets the authorship and notoriety for creating this greatest of all creations. “God created man”, “God … created all things”. (Gen. 5:1; Eph. 3:9). But the Father created it all “by Jesus Christ”.

“And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.... 

Gen 2:21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof; 

Gen 2:22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.” (Gen. 2:7,21,22).

“To us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by Him.” (1Cor. 8:6 ).

“O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto Thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. 

Shall a man make gods unto himself, and they are no gods? 

Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that My name is The LORD.” (Jer. 16:19-21).

“Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son; and the Holy Ghost teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” (Matt. 28:19).

Amen.
