“HEAR O HEAVENS, AND GIVE EAR , O EARTH!
FOR THE LORD HAS SPOKEN:
‘I HAVE NOURISHED AND BROUGHT UP CHILDREN,
AND THEY HAVE REBELLED AGAINST ME…”
Isa. 1:2
The Bible contains the story of the ramifications of two great rebellions of the created against the
Creator. The first rebellion was the created archangel Lucifer against his Creator. This rebellion spread
to one-third of the angels in heaven by Lucifer. The earth and its inhabitants are still experiencing the
ramifications of this host of spiritual wickedness that continue to function in heavenly places (Eph. 6:12-
13). The second rebellion of the created against the Creator was that of Adam and Eve in the garden
as fallen Lucifer baited God’s new creation-man. The ramifications of this sinful act of rebellion by man
was destined to spread throughout all of mankind as the sin nature was passed down to Adam’s
descendants. Millions have descended into the pit of Hell as this act of rebellion continues of the
created against the Creator.
To bring an end to the ramifications of such rebellion, God the Father sends His Son to the earth to die
on a cross. The power of the cross of Christ is twofold: (1) It defeated Satanic Principalities and
Powers ( Heb. 2:14-15, Col.2:14-15). And, (2) It contains the ability to reconcile fallen sinful man to his
Creator (Eph. 2:14-16). But as wonderful as that is, the message does not end here. The whole recorded
dialog of Jesus in the gospel of John pertaining to His intimate ongoing relationship to His Father is
given as a pattern for all followers of Christ to emulate. It is this kind of “oneness” with God that is to be
the antidote to the poison of further rebellion between the created and the Creator. It is in such
“oneness” with God our Father that our trust should be placed, not in a false doctrine of “once saved,
always saved” or of relying in an unbiblical position of “unconditional eternal security.” Jesus was
faithful to His Father because of His intimate relationship and total dependence upon being one with
His Father. It is such oneness that Jesus prays for every believer to emulate (Jn. 17:20-23).
We must ever beware of slipping into “doctrines that demons teach” (1 Tim. 4:1). The Jews remain
deceived with their understanding of “the oneness of God” as being a literal, monotheistic view of God.
Such dogma continues to blind their eyes to the existence of the triune Godhead of Father, Son and
Holy Spirit. As long as Judaism's present foundation remains, Jews will continue to vehemently deny
the possibility that God has an eternal Son. As long as they continue to lock in on the study of Torah as
the sole expression of God’s inspired Scriptures, they will never see Jesus Christ as the Creator for the
Old Testament is INCOMPLETE revelation apart from the New Testament.
Likewise, Christianity fails to grasp the true meaning of the “oneness of God” that Jesus sought to
impart in the gospel of John due to the unbiblical perspective of a literal three-in-one God being
presented as the proper interpretation of the oneness of God. Listen to Jesus on ONENESS:
“…THAT THEY MAY BE ONE, AS WE ARE…THAT THEY MAY ALL BE ONE
AS YOU FATHER ARE IN ME, AND I IN YOU,
THAT THEY ALSO MAY BE ONE IN US…
THAT THEY MAY BE ONE JUST AS WE ARE ONE,
I IN THEM, AND YOU IN ME;
THAT THEY MAY BE MADE PERFECT IN ONE…”
Jn. 17:11,21, 22,23
