The "Dual" - GodHead
Was InventedThe "Dual" - GodHead
Was InventedThe Earliest of Christians worshipped the same God,
that Christ did. They were Jews and they worshipped
the Jewish God, Jehovah. This was the norm, until
Rome decided to take over and make Christianity
into a State Religion.
`
With an obvious Hatred of the Jews and their
Jewish God, Rome decided to fashion God into their
own framework. Thus the "Trinity" and the "Dual
Godhead
" - became the most popular way to representGod at that time. These views were purely pagan,
and meant to satisfy the pagan populace that was
a large part of the Roman Empire at that time.
`
So, the Jewish God, Jehovah, was replaced with
pagan gods and pagan ideas. Anyone who questioned
or refused to accept these new views of God, were
tortured, and put to death.
`
In time, Jehovah was forgotten. His name was
removed from Bible manuscripts and the generic
"LORD" title was put in its place.
`These times of ignorance are over. It is Jehovah's
time - to make himself known throughout all the earth.
Pagan Rome is gone - and the truth will be made known. "Early Christians, facing scorn
and persecution decided to blend in
with their Pagan counterparts...
in order to blend in. The idea of
the holy trinity too, was an adopted
way to appeal to pagans."

as performing all His acts...in the most perfect
subserviency to the will of His Father,
and in full dependence upon Him;
and this fact He stated in a variety of expressions,
and on different occasions, so as to manifest and
to impress it deeply on His followers."

Father has commanded me."

The Apostles' Viewpoint of God
"Paul affirms that, "There is one God,
and one mediator between God and men,
the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim. 2:5).
Paul sees Christ as The mediator,
who is a man. Paul writes about God Himself
as clearly distinguished from this man,
the Lord Jesus Christ. The Father is truly
seen by Paul as the one and only God,
distinct and unequaled, forever supreme
(cf. 1 Cor. 15:24-28). This is Paul's
Christian monotheism, as strict and pure
as any monotheism could be."

"Jesus' teachings are exclusively within Jewish
values and teachings. Modern Christianity...
does not adhere to many of Jesus' original teachings.
Early Christianity was an integral part of Judaism
of the period. Jesus... never intended to either
abandon Judaism, or to create a new religion.
The creation of the independent Christian Church
outside the framework of Judaism took place many
years later by those who neither knew the man Jesus,
nor the meanings of His difficult native Hebrew."

and endings and of gates and doors. He was depicted
having two faces with one face looking to what

can also be seen on Roman coins. Janus was made
into a Christian Saint by the Roman Catholic Church."

Defining Jesus in Pagan Terms
Both the Double and Triune godhead was very
popular amongst the pagans - at the time that Rome
took over control of Christianity, therefore during the
councils that followed - Jesus was redefined in pagan
terms - as a second and equal part of the godhead.
Prior to this, all Christians had been monotheistic
worshippers of the Jewish God, Jehovah.
"the conception of God is Jewish in its origin,
but into it has been read and impressed the
spirit and character of Rome. Indeed, Rome has
modified and influenced our concept of God."
