Chapter Eight – Another Jesus

Next Part Easter—Condemned in the Bible!

By now it is understood that there are several different kinds of spirit. We have seen that there is the Spirit of God, the spirit in man, the spirit of which angels are composed—and this same kind of spirit, which exists in fallen angels, described in the Bible as the devil and his demons.

We have also seen that there are many gods worshipped around the world within the literally thousands of religions and variations of them invented by men. Many of these gods are seen to be, and worshipped as, the “father of creation” and the “father of mankind.”

Of course, by now it is also thoroughly understood that two of the beings in the supposed biblical triune godhead are thought to be the Father and the Holy Spirit—two-thirds of the trinity. And we have seen that this teaching is a counterfeit of the true God of the Bible, and that all of this is largely hidden—concealed—from the world’s recognition. However, within this counterfeit is an additional counterfeit, which must now be exposed. This other counterfeit is perhaps the most dangerous and sinister part of all that is wrong with the doctrine of the trinity! We will see that this second counterfeit within the overall trinity god counterfeit is directly connected to a counterfeit spirit. Then we will come to understand that it is this different spirit that is, in fact, giving life to the idea that the trinity is biblical.

The apostle Paul warned the Corinthian congregation of a special kind of danger, which is connected to forgetting that there is “simplicity in Christ.” The result is that they were allowing themselves to be “beguiled” by Satan who was corrupting their minds into the worst kind of false understanding.

What would this be?

First, read Paul’s entire introduction to the warning in order to set the stage to understand it: “But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent [Satan] beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ” (II Cor. 11:3).

Now let’s notice the actual warning that follows in the next verse: “For if he that comes preaches another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or if you receive another spirit, which you have not received, or another gospel, which you have not accepted, you might well bear with him.” The Corinthians seemed to “bear with” this without resistance.

Paul, who is being inspired by the true Jesus Christ of the Bible, was moved to record the peril of unwittingly following “another Jesus.” Consider. Whomever you may think this false Jesus to be—and most have probably never remotely considered the idea for even a moment—there is such a thing as a wrong, different and false Jesus—called “another Jesus.” This “Jesus” can even corrupt the thinking of true Christians. This much is plain. But the “subtilty” of how this can occur, and how it has occurred in history, is so deceptive—so seductive—that even true Christians can unknowingly slip into worshipping this so-called Jesus. This is what was happening to the Corinthians.

When one examines the facts of history, it becomes evident that Christianity brought in a different Jesus, and with it came a different gospel born of a different spirit, which introduced a different god—and this god took the form of the trinity.

When fully understood, those who believe that God is three-in-one—Father, Son and Holy Spirit—are worshipping another Jesus inside the trinity!

This is a very serious charge, and it requires serious proof, which this book will now offer. We have seen that the trinity does not come from the Bible—but what about the “Jesus” worshipped by billions today?

Which Saviour?

One of the central themes of the New Testament is that Jesus Christ came as Saviour to die for mankind’s sins and to offer redemption to a world cut off from God. The master counterfeiter (Satan the devil, who we have seen is called the “god of this world” in II Cor. 4:4) seeks to counterfeit every aspect of God’s plan. We have seen that he “deceives the whole world” (Rev. 12:9). As the arch-deceiver, he would not be content to counterfeit all other aspects of Christianity but not the identity and worship of the true Saviour!

Who is the real “saviour” central to modern Christendom? Is it the Jesus Christ of the Bible? If you say “yes,” are you sure? What proof have you?

History answers this question plainly. A series of powerful quotes will momentarily introduce virtually all of the elements central to the belief of the Jesus of the Bible—but they will be seen to be unconnected to the Jesus of the Bible. As you read later, notice the astonishing parallel between the “saviours” found throughout ancient religion and the popular “saviour” worshipped today. It is also a fact that these ancient counterfeit saviours were always worshipped in conjunction with springtime festivals of renewal. The modern face of these festivals is the pagan Easter celebration.

Does the Bible mention Easter?
