Struggling With Adventist Godhead
When I was born again I felt like God (Yahweh) revealed the Trinity to me in an instant. As I continue to learn and grow, I still find I have a challenge understanding Jesus. For example, I look at how He spoke about the Father while incarnate (the Father is greater than I, only He knows the day and hour…etc) and now I wonder after the ascension—WHO exactly is in heaven? Jesus is there in His glorified body…and is the Father there as as a spirit form? Then that brings me back to two Gods.

Response: Colossians 1 and 2 help us with this. Co. 2:9 says that “all the fullness of deity dwells in bodily form” (notice the present tense of “dwells”) in Him. Colossians 1:19: “For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him…”
Jesus was not a mixture of human and divine nor half-and-half. He was FULLY GOD and fully man simultaneously. He was a singularity. When He was on earth, all the fullness of deity dwelt in Him bodily. There was not one bit of God’s attributes that was missing from the incarnate Lord Jesus. Similarly, now, in His glorified, enthroned body, all the eternal attributes of God which were His from eternity past are still His, and He has taken a body and inhabited it. There is ONE GOD—one Substance. This Substance is expressed eternally in three persons. It’s a mystery, but it is true. There is one God. Jesus is one person of the Trinity—the same person He has always been.

YouTube Responses to the Video Commentary on “The Lord Reigns”
You Desire Fame
I came upon you by accident, and as I listen, a Scripture comes to mind: 2 Timothy 4:3: “For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.”
In a desire to become famous, you have become a cleaner of fish and not a fisher of men. A child of God led by the Holy Spirit would not criticize other denominations but would use the Bible to show truth, for only the truth can set us free.
Jeremiah 23:1 “‘Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of my pasture!’ declares the Lord.”

What Causes Your Opposition?
As a 7th-day Adventist Christian who studies my Sabbath School lesson, I’m not finding the things you’re saying Adventists are trying to say in the lessons. As a matter of fact, I only hear them as you’re saying them. My dear Sister, what causes your intense opposition to Seventh-day Adventists? I’m not really wanting you to answer that; however, I do want you to know that’s how you sound to me. May we both meet God face to face in peace on the day that He gathers us all.

Greed Reigns In Adventism
My mum says the only thing that reigns in Adventism is its greed and lust for money. We are so glad to be set free from this deluded, fake cult. How beautiful is the life-transforming power of the pure gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We are no longer in the shadows of the old covenant but in the light of the cross of Christ.
