The Godhead
By David J. Stewart
Colossians 2:9, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead
bodily.”
Skeptics of the
Word of God often like to point out that the word “Trinity” is not found
in the Scriptures; however, the Word “Godhead” most certainly is. We
find the “Godhead” mentioned in Acts 17:29, Romans 1:20, and Colossians
2:9. Colossians 2:9 states it all so well...
“For in Him [Christ]
dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.” Literally, the
Godhead came to this earth incarnate in the man Christ Jesus. Jesus was
100% man, and 100% God. Jesus did not give up His deity when He
came to the earth. According to Hebrews 5:8, Jesus humbled Himself to
the Father in Heaven, even being obedient unto death (the crucifixion).
We read in
Genesis 1:26,
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our
likeness...” “Us” and “Our” are plural in the Hebrew. Clearly, God
has manifest (or revealed) Himself to mankind as a Godhead, i.e., one
God (Deuteronomy 6:4), yet three distinct individual Persons. It may not
make good math; but, it definitely makes good Bible. I didn't author the
Bible, God did. Either you believe that the Bible is God's Word, or you
don't.
We plainly read in
Matthew
28:19-20, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.” Here we
see all three individual members of the Godhead. Again in Luke 3:22
we see all three individual members of the Godhead,
“And the Holy
Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came
from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well
pleased.”
These Scriptures cannot be
thrown away. Several false religions, such as Jehovah's Witnesses,
deny the Godhead. The argument is that the Trinity originated in pagan
ancient Babylon. However, a distinct difference must be noted between
the masculine Godhead of the Word of God, and the pagan goddess worship
which originated with Nimrod and Semiramis. It was not Christianity that
imitated paganism; but paganism Christianity. Furthermore, there is no
ancient pagan religion which taught the Biblical doctrine of the
Godhead. There are an abundance of Scriptural references to “God the
father,” and to the “Son of God.” Clearly, they are two distinguished
individuals.
Also, please understand that
the Biblical Godhead is
100% totally masculine. There is NO feminine aspect of the Godhead
as
feminist theology, New Agers, witches, occultists and spiritists
teach. Satan has been relentlessly attacking the Bible in these Last
Days,
producing the NIV 2011 which removes the pronoun “he” concerning the
Holy Spirit in John 14:26. Satan's new
transgendered Bible caters to homosexuals and feminists.
Also, we see the
individuality of the Holy Spirit in Luke 12:10, “And whosoever shall
speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto
him that blasphemeth against the Holy Ghost it shall not be
forgiven.” Acts 5:32, “And we are his witnesses of these things;
and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that
obey him.” Notice the word “Whom,” not “it.” The Holy Spirit is a
Person. In John 16:13 we read,
“Howbeit when he, the
Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for
he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall
hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come.” Six times in John 16:13, the Holy Spirit is referred to as
the masculine pronoun “He.”
The Godhead is a mystery. We
read of “the mystery of God” in Colossians 2:2. You either
believe the Bible is the Word of God, or you don't. By the way, many
modern corrupted Bibles have entirely removed the word “Godhead,” such
as in the New International Version (NIV). This is a direct
attack on Christ's deity. Also, wherever the King James Bible says that
someone “worshipped” Jesus, the NIV changes it to “knelt” instead. How
deceitful.
Colossians 2:2 refers
to the Godhead as
“the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of
Christ.” Isn't that a beautiful Scripture? I really want you to
learn this Bible Verse, because it is the heart of the matter. The
Godhead is a mystery. It's ok not to understand everything. Most people
can't explain how a brown cow can eat green grass and produce white
milk, but that yellow butter on your biscuits sure tastes good!
Thankfully we don't have to
understand God to be saved, we just need to believe (trust) upon His
only begotten Son Who died, was buried and
rose again
three days later for our sins (1st Corinthians 15:1-4; John 20:31; Acts
10:43).
The NIV Brutally Attacks Jesus' Deity
I recently
received a letter from a man, who quoted me Philippians 2:6 from the
New International Version (NIV) of the Bible, claiming that Jesus
was not the manifestation of the Godhead. Here's Philippians 2:6 from
the King James Bible...
“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God.”
Now here's
the damnable NIV...
“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped.”
Do you see
why so many people are being deceived by Satan nowadays? Jesus Christ is
the manifestation of the Godhead... “And without controversy great is
the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh,
justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into glory.” Colossians 2:9 so
beautifully states... “For in Him [Jesus] dwelleth all the fulness of
the Godhead bodily.” If you want to come to the God of the Bible,
then you MUST come only through Jesus Christ, Who is the beloved Son of
God.
The
GODHEAD is revealed (or manifest) in the Person, life and earthly
ministry of the precious Lord Jesus Christ.
“Who is a liar but he
that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth
the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the
Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also” (1st
John 2:22,23).
If I had my
way, I would burn every New International Version of the Bible in
existence! I would burn every copy of Today's International Version
as well. I would burn every copy of the corrupted New King James
Version. In fact, I would burn every perverted Bible out there,
including the Living Bible and Good News for Modern Man. I
would burn the Revised Standard Version. God only wrote one book
folks! Matthew 4:4 commands us to live by “every word” of the Bible. To
do that we must have an “every word” Bible. We have it in the 1611 King
James Bible which has been tested and proven trustworthy over the
centuries.
The Bible, God's Holy Word, Proclaims the GODHEAD.
This is the
doctrine of the Trinity. Critics of the Bible like to point out that the
word “Trinity” is not in the Bible. Albeit, the word “Godhead” is in the
Bible, i.e., if you have a trustworthy King James Bible. The word
Godhead is found in 3 places (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20 and Colossians
2:9).
Deceitfully,
the New International Version [NIV] and all modern corrupt
versions of the Bible totally remove the word GODHEAD. This is blatant
corruption of the Scriptures.
Deuteronomy
6:4 proclaims that there is one God. Yet the Bible manifests God in 3
Persons of God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit. Matthew
28:19, “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.”
The teaching
of the Godhead is a fundamental doctrine of the Christian faith.
Beware of any false minister or false religion that denies the Godhead.Acts 17:29, “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device.”Romans 1:20, “For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.”
Colossians 2:9, “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.”
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world
are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his
eternal power and Godhead; so that
they are without excuse." —Romans 1:20
