Abraham, Isaac, the Sovereign of heaven, and His only begotten Son

The infinite closeness of God the Father and His only Begotten makes our one God sufficient to atone for us; and Their infinite closeness also makes Their atonement effectual in us.

Our whole life of sin is not too big for God to forgive. When God forgives us because we have regretted our sins, because we have sorrowed for our life of sin and cast those sins from our hearts, thus repenting of them all, then He forgives us completely and we are restored perfectly as if we had never once sinned. All of our judgment God put upon the Son, and He willingly stood in our place on damnation day. Jesus was treated by heaven and earth with the punishment that we deserve, so that we could be treated with the blessings and honor that Jesus deserves. Amazing love toward a race that did not love Them! How sweet the sound of Their amazing grace! Despite our accumulation of sins, our sins are not a mountain bigger than the mountain of God, “My holy mountain” (Isa. 11:9). He is able to cast them all into the midst of the sea; and He will do that for all who turn to Him with their whole heart.

“Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.” (Mic. 7:18,19).

“‘Oh, the unspeakable greatness of that exchange,—the Sinless One is condemned, and he who is guilty goes free; the Blessing bears the curse, and the cursed is brought into blessing; the Life dies, and the dead live; the Glory is whelmed in darkness, and he who knew nothing but confusion of face is clothed with glory.’ — D’Aubigne, London ed., b. 12, ch. 2.” Great Controversy, p. 212.

It is that infinite bond between Father and Son broken because of our sin, it was the ultimate sacrifice of Them both, that alone could legally and justly pay for our justification and restoration into Their bosom. Their infinite parent-child bond, though seen every day in our world of sin, can only be comprehended by striving to grasp the greatness of Their promises to receive us again.

The incomprehensible union of the Father and His Son has no room for the other male God that made a Trinity. The Father and Son love has been pure, and has needed none other to supplement it. What is Their mutual love like? How close are They? We see it in Abraham and Isaac.

“And He [God] said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.” (Gen. 22:2).

“Thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest” was everything to Abraham. Isaac was the object of love for whom Abraham had waited many decades.

“And the LORD visited Sarah as He had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as He had spoken.

For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

And Abraham called the name of his son that was born unto him, whom Sarah bare to him, Isaac.

And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac being eight days old, as God had commanded him.

And Abraham was an hundred years old, when his son Isaac was born unto him.

And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.

And she said, Who would have said unto Abraham, that Sarah should have given children suck? for I have born him a son in his old age.” (Gen. 21:1-7).

The deep love Abraham had for his son, after so long waiting for Isaac, caused an exceptional bond of sonship, a natural love that was intensified by the long years of desire and separation. Abraham was separated from Isaac before Isaac was even born. This pre-Isaac separation was real, as over the years Abraham could envision the son of all his dreams. Such was the love of God while He withheld from Himself the Son of His bosom. But, in due time the Son came forth, Prince Michael, who was just like the King. His coming forth, which had “been from of old, from everlasting” (Mic. 5:2), was a great day of excitement and rest to the Father. All the anxious anticipation was now realized. All of His faith was made sight, “and They began to be merry.” (Luke 15:24). “And the child grew, and was weaned: and Abraham made a great feast the same day that Isaac was weaned.” (Gen. 21:8).

 

The joy that Abraham and all of his servants had when Isaac was weaned shows a shadowy picture of the unearthly joy among the angelic hosts of heaven when the Prince was publically exalted to be their King. No sin marred the heavenly hosts, and the happiness of their Father and His only Begotten caused the happiness of the angels. This is the best picture of the Godhead available to this fallen world until Michael came here personally to better reveal Himself and His Father.

Jesus did not come to reveal any other person than His beloved Father. His Father was all that He uplifted before the people.

“Jesus, the divine Master, ever exalted the name of His heavenly Father. He taught His disciples to pray, ‘Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.’ Matthew 6:9, A.R.V. And they were not to forget to acknowledge, ‘Thine is . . . the glory.’ Verse 13. So careful was the great Healer to direct attention from Himself to the Source of His power, that the wondering multitude, ‘when they saw the dumb to speak, the maimed to be whole, the lame to walk, and the blind to see,’ did not glorify Him, but ‘glorified the God of Israel.’ Matthew 15:31. In the wonderful prayer that Christ offered just before His crucifixion, He declared, ‘I have glorified Thee on the earth.’ ‘Glorify Thy Son,’ He pleaded, ‘that Thy Son also may glorify Thee.’ ‘O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that Thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them.’ John 17:4, 1, 25, 26.” Prophets and Kings, p. 69.

Jesus taught us to pray to, to praise, and to worship His Father and no one else. And He did leave it open-ended for Himself to be given the same love and honor as His Father. But, none other was to receive that worship. The infinite closeness of Father and Son is Their infinite protection from unrighteousness; and our participation in Their union protects the kingdom of God as well. None else except the two, Father and Son, have the special and unique agape love.

“Maschil, A Song of loves. My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the King: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into Thy lips: therefore God hath blessed Thee for ever….

Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, Thy God, hath anointed Thee with the oil of gladness above Thy fellows.” (Ps. 45:1,2,7).

A third God non-congenitally related to the Father and Son can only detract from the omnipotent love of the Almighty and His only Begotten, His precious Prototokos. The strong bond between Abraham and Isaac was the very basis of the everlasting covenant and, for the everlasting gospel, their tight bond points to the union between the Father and Son. Adding a third person does not improve on the power of the Father’s and Son’s love that binds together Their kingdom.

The only respectable possibility for a third person that is added to the already infinitely united Godhead would be a feminine Holy Spirit, such as a divine mother of Christ, a Mary Queen of heaven, an Ashtoreth. But, that is unacceptable to Protestantism and to the Bible, yet it has long been well received into the most ancient of pagan religions. Such a third person of the Trinity is making its way into New Age religion, and then into Christianity through the back door.

But, the only other option beside a female person Holy Spirit is a male person Holy Spirit. Satan, by a male third person within the Christian Trinity, has made our Father look like a homosexual God. The Trinity is a gross distortion of the Abraham-Isaac love within the Godhead, and a male third person distortion can never be acceptable any more than Adam and Eve could have also had a Steve with them in the garden—Adam and Eve and Steve. But, that is the Christian Trinity’s subtle advertisement to the world—a subtle gospel of homosexuality; a subtle gospel of bisexuality. The submersive doctrine of the Trinity undermines the Godhead’s original example to the second institution that the Lord God gave man on the first day of his existence—the Trinity dogma is an attack on the nuclear family that the Lord God gave us before sin entered the world. Subconsciously, the Trinity doctrine excuses homosexuality within the Church today. The Father requires of us, “Abstain from all appearance of evil” (1Thess. 5:22), yet the Trinity perverts that rule before the Father’s “family in heaven and earth” (Eph. 3:15). The Christian Trinity is worse than the pagan trinities; at least they have a female mistress deity as the Spirit, although a whore.

The true biblical Godhead includes only the Father and His Son. Their Spirit is not another God, It is not another person. The “Spirit” is the result of the Father-Son heart-to-heart powerful communion, just like the synergy that happens when a man knows his beloved wife. The love within a husband-wife marriage divinely reveals the power of creation by the Abraham-Isaac love between God the Father and His only divine Son. And love within the husband-wife marriage typifies the equally great power of redemption from the Father and Son Godhead when Their eternal Spirit of love was broken at the Son’s death, and then when They were reunited again in the Holy Place of the heavenly sanctuary after the Son’s ascension.
