Mean Tweets: "You're a Heretic!"

For those who come to understand and believe that the God of the Bible is the Father alone (John 17:3, 1 Cor. 8:6) and that Jesus is God's human Messiah, the Christ, the Son of God --- you will be condemned by many religious leaders and even family and friends.
This podcast gives some examples :).

I'm sorry sorry, I deleted a comment by mistake! I meant to comment and somehow clicked on "delete". Totally my bad! Whoever it it was made a comment about how these days not even being able to ask a person a question (in this case about the Israel-Hamas war). Again, I'm sorry. If you read this, please feel free to re-write the comment. I thought it was a good one!

Bill, this is gold. When it's obvious a person has no idea what you are actually saying, it's hard not to laugh at ignorant comments.

I've had JW's congratulate me for being a Biblical Unitarian and praise Yehovah for finding the Truth about Heavenly Father. When I read the Scriptures, it's more clear and liberating and not a "Mystery" anymore! I have more respect for God's anointed Servant, who was one of us now, because as a Human and not a God-man, he endured the suffering of the cross which gives me lots of hope that I can be an overcomer. Praise be to God!

[@GoldAndSilver988]

Glad to see you using the correct name for the Father.

[@ken440]

the ones who call me a false teacher that scripture warns about "in the last days" dont seem to hear the apostles say "in these last days," meaning the days they were in, now almost 2000 yrs ago. !! meaning the apostles regarded themselves to be in the last days. Its only reading modern books by people like Hal Lyndsey that the term "the last days" has got into church speak, along with "end of the world. And its always in their view "now onwards" and never the age past. So they prove themselves ignorant of truth and scriptural understanding.

[@billschlegel1]

True. Jehovah's witnesses are not as threatened and don't get all bent out of shape. Maybe because they've been attacked so much they don't dish such abuse on others. Also, they seem to be happy to see that a sincere believer in the God of the Bible is not a Trinitarian.

It’s usually a desperate attempt to shame nonTrinitarians into accepting the Trinity Doctrine. Usually happens when they realize they cannot cogently present a case for the Trinity Doctrine. Humorous indeed. I view it as a badge of honor though!

[@Ladyguite79]

I like reminding 3rd century Trinity baptizers, that Acts 11 is when followers were FIRST called "Christians", and unarguably everybody in Acts was baptized in "Jesus name"😝 Baptism is a secondary issue but it's amusing that Trinitarians claim the title Christian from Acts 11 yet decline the rest of the book...

[@Heavenlyminded2023]

​@@Ladyguite79 😂 Trinitarians REJECT book ok Acts+TRUE baptism, "Acts 11" they were definitely baptized in "Jesus name"! Looks like "Trinity Baptizers" are the heretics and delectors.

[@billschlegel1]

Ironically, people that believe in the deity of Christ should really be called "godians", or theosians (from Greek) or deusians (from Latin). A Christian should be someone who believes that Jesus is the Christ, and biblically, Christ is never literally "God".

[@SmurfyLou]

Thank you for putting this up. As last night I had a run in with the same usual Trinitarian responses that are given when I say. "I don't believe in the Trinity it is a man-made doctrine". What followed after that was a scrambled conversation and what felt like proper hateful looks at me. I needed the laugh today Bill. Thank you again

Im a heretic and thats alright. I work all day, and I bark all night. I also challenge Oneness, and christs pre deity. Heretics are aplenty, among the trinity's.

@@billschlegel1- I have a brother who was taught that Jesus is God and he is afraid of saying otherwise based on when Jesus states; “Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for unless you believe that I am He, you will die in your sins." John 8:24 I have told him to consider that Jesus was telling the Jews that he is the ‘Christ, the Son of the Living God’ and not that he is God.

[@billschlegel1]

@@petervaichus6978 Indeed, the author of the Gospel of John stated that the reason he recorded the signs that Jesus did is so that his listeners would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. John 20:30-31 In John 8, 16 verses after the verse you mentioned, Jesus said he was "a man who told the truth he heard from God". Blessings.

Yes, most people go with what they have been told and don't believe their teachers and so many could be wrong. They are to lazy to actually seek the truth for themselves. I don't let what anyone thinks besides my creator. I certainly don't trust man unless they are using the Word of God and it resonates with my spirit.

[@jimwilmot2371]

Thanks so much for this. You have pretty much convinced me of this, the one God belief. I'm not going to broadcast it though because I've already experienced similar mean tweet reactions, although mine were mostly face to face experiences. They weren't for that belief though, they were for something else that I hope you will consider that's equally disturbing. Consider if you would, Matthew 24, where Jesus tells his disciples that the temple will be torn down. They ask him when and when he will return, and when the end of the age would be. He goes on to tell them all of the things that will precede that, and then says it will all happen in that generation (vs34), clearly (at least without tradition blinds on) saying it's a generation away. The temple was torn down like he said, and if the rest didn't happen, then he was wrong. Something to consider.

Great video ... again ... and even more relevant to me as I defend my agreement with full preterism too! Bless u Bill!

[@jesusisthechristthesonofgod]

the religious people keep accusing Jesus and his disciples/apostles of being heretics. so is it unusual for christians to be called heretics by trinitarians? i trow not

[@UncleJE]

Good video. Your tweets sound just like mine.😂 I get these same comments every day. All bc we know Jesus is not God. He's the son of God... the messiah. King of Israel. Be encouraged . Blessings.

[@ken440]

Bill makes a very good point in this video. Denying that "christ" came in the flesh, is the spirit of antichrist. This means at its core that trinity belief is "the spirit of antichrist" Lets pull it apart a bit and you might see what I mean. The greek word "christos" ( which is translitterated to english as "christ") simply means what the word means in greek. ANOINTED. It depends on context, as in "anointed one" "one anointed" and its exact match in Hebrew is "Meshiach" from which again we get "Messiah." They both cary the meaning of "anoint, anointed, anointing." So "Jesus christ" means Jesus anointed. Now stretch that a bit in hebrew scriptures where Moses and Aaron are anointed by God to speak on Gods behalf, to pharaoh. They are both "messiahs" or in the LXX greek "christs." David was anointed as King, as were many biblical characters. And so this shows they are "anointed" to do a particular job. By who? By God. So God is the anointor, the one who anoints His agents. The trinitarian believes Jesus is not a man of the earth, but is actually God. Being a man is being "flesh" and so a messiah, or christ, is an anointed one. A man anointed for a special Job. Hhe "anointed came in the flesh" meaning "anointed man". So if a trinitarian insists that Jesus is God, are they denying the anointed man? I think they are, even if they say Jesus is God with a man nature, it is not an anointed man. It would be God anointed by God. Which becomes nonsensical. God is the anointor, not the anointee. If Jesus is a man anointed by Gods spirit (not another person of God, but God Himself in unseen spiritual form, inhabiting the man. fully anointed in the "oil of the spirit,") then we have what God promised by speaking through an earlier anointed one, Moses, in Deut18:18. ("one of your nation will be the great one, and I will speak through him") It fits perfectly, and Jesus says it himself a few times, reminding the stubborn religious leaders, like in jn8:40 "I am a man who speaks what he heard FROM God." So trinitarian, do you admit Jesus is the anointed man, as foretold in the beginning of Genesis, (Gen3:15) and beginning of the Law (deut18:18) ???? by Gods word?" Or are you the anti anointing, anti"christ", the one who denies that the anointing came (to us) in the flesh... the MAN Jesus of Nazareth? Jesus is flesh anointed.

[@tedbrooks-formerwordoffait1316]

Bill, you do such a good job of proving that Jesus was/is a man. However, I wish you would go deeper into scripture to unfold the revelation that Jesus revealed about the truth about His Father. There is so much more to expose within the fleshly assumptions of antichrist teachings. I came to the same conclusions as you... but I know there is way more understanding available to us in the Word.

[@claudiozanella256]

It's not what you say: God is NOT here "nobody has seen God at any time", God is here ONLY IN THE FORM OF A SPIRIT, He is the "Holy Spirit" aka "Spirit of God". God is actually AWAY, He is transcendent. God is here with his words and actions, but at the same time He is absent, actually NOBODY is here. You do not have a "real time" relationship with God because God has ALREADY done ALL what He had to do. You talk to God who is in a different temporal dimension. The Holy Spirit is thus God in the form of a spirit (Jn. 4:23,24) not a third person, this means no trinity exits. Jesus states that the Father cannot be seen, that only the Son HAS SEEN (past tense) the Father, so that if you want to "somehow" see the Father the only option you have is to see the Son:"He who sees me SEES HIM who sent me." In fact "you see the Father when you see the Son" because the Son HAD BEEN the Father. The God's power is just an ATTRIBUTE of God, but - even without his power - God still is God. This is the difference between the almighty God and Jesus: the almighty God made everything and then got rid of his power to become like a normal man: the Son of God. In this case "Son" hasn't his regular meaning, He isn't an ADDITIONAL person, it means Jesus DERIVES from God. Jesus is DIFFERENT from God since He is like a normal man now, not almighty anymore. Yet He is not DISTINCT from Him "I am in the Father and the Father in me" because Jesus HAD BEEN that almighty God. In other words Father and Son are not the same ONE God, but They are not "TWO distinct Gods" either. You can say that God is greater than one and less than two in number.

[@Mckaule]

So where does Jesus being descendant of David fits there ? There can't be two persons in one person. It's written that "soul/person is in the blood". Your soul/person comes by blood of your father mixing with blood of your mother. A new unique soul is made. You are who you are because of what your parents are genetically. So where does the soul of Jesus come from ? John says Jesus came by blood. He is a pure human being, more human than we are because he is perfect human being because he was perfected through suffering. His soul after resurrection is driven solely by the spirit of God, that's why he is now an immortal human being and not an immortal God in a mortal human flesh.

[@claudiozanella256]

@@Mckaule It's not what you say, Jesus says He is IN THE FATHER ("I am in the Father..."), Jesus says "He who has seen me has seen the Father" (because He HAD BEEN the Father). The almighty God having "children" is nonsensical. Jesus being a son means He DERIVES from the Father, in other words He HAD BEEN the Father; now He differs in that He has NO POWER any longer. Jesus thus utilizes the Father's power (with his consent) for his actions. Most important, Jesus CLAIMS A PRIVILEGE OVER GOD: Jesus claims to be the ONLY KING of heaven (because God is there only in the form of a spirit , Jn. 4:23,24). Jesus is the ONLY BREAD which gives life, the reason is that JESUS DECIDES, NOT GOD: "The Father JUDGES NO MAN, but has turned over all judgment TO THE SON." Jesus can give you the eternal life if He wants it, He is the ONLY DOOR to heaven, He is the ONLY BREAD which gives life, not God because God cannot decide.
