Many think the Bible teaches that Jesus is God. But the apostle John and the early disciples believed something else. In the first century, the debate wasn’t about whether Jesus was God—it was whether He was the Christ. Let’s look at the verses that prove this truth from the Bible. 🙏🏻📖

📍Did you know?
Many believe that the Hebrew word “Elohim” in Genesis 1:1 proves the Trinity because it’s plural. But here’s the truth:

📖 Genesis 1:1 says:

“In the beginning, God [Elohim] created the heavens and the earth.”

Yes, “Elohim” is a plural form—but the verb used is “created” (Hebrew: bara)—which is singular.

🧠 In Hebrew grammar, Elohim can be plural in form but singular in meaning, depending on the verb and context. This is called the plural of majesty—a form of respect or greatness, not quantity.

✔️ If “Elohim” meant a triune God, then the verb should also be plural—but it’s not. The Bible consistently uses singular verbs and adjectives for God.

🔊 Don’t be misled. The Bible clearly teaches there is only ONE GOD (Deut. 6:4)—not three.

Is Faith Alone Enough to Be Saved? Let’s Talk Truth.

Many Christians today are taught that simply believing in Jesus is enough to guarantee salvation.

They often quote verses like:

📖 “For by grace you have been saved through faith…” – Ephesians 2:8–9
📖 “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved…” – Acts 16:31
📖 “For God so loved the world…” – John 3:16

No doubt—faith is essential.
👉 Hebrews 11:6 says, “Without faith it is impossible to please God.”

But here’s the question:
Is faith alone enough?

Let’s look deeper into God’s Word:



🔍 1. Faith Must Be Complete—With Works

📖 James 2:17:

“Faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.”

📖 James 2:24:

“You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.”

🧠 Belief without obedience is useless.
Even the devil believes in God—but that doesn’t save him! (James 2:19)



🔍 2. Not All Who Call ‘Lord, Lord’ Will Be Saved

📖 Matthew 7:21:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father…”

👉 Obedience matters. Confession is not enough.



🔍 3. Belief Must Lead to Action

In Acts 16:31, Paul told the jailer to “believe” in Jesus to be saved. But what happened next?

📖 Acts 16:33:

“Immediately he and all his household were baptized.”

And Jesus Himself said:

📖 Mark 16:16:

“He who believes and is baptized will be saved…”

🚨 Belief is just the beginning—we must follow Christ’s commands.



🔍 4. True Salvation Is in Christ’s Body—the Church

📖 Ephesians 5:23:

“Christ is the head of the church, and He is the Savior of the body.”

📖 Acts 20:28 (Lamsa):

“…feed the Church of Christ, which He has purchased with His blood.”

🔑 Christ gave His life for His Church—His body.
If we’re not part of it, we’re outside of what He will save.



🔍 5. We Must Endure and Obey Until the End

📖 Matthew 24:13:

“But he who endures to the end shall be saved.”

📖 1 John 5:3:

“This is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.”

Salvation isn’t a one-time event.
✅ It’s a life of faith, obedience, and endurance—inside the body of Christ.



💬 FINAL THOUGHT:

🙅‍♂️ “Faith alone” sounds easy. But the Bible teaches that salvation involves more:

✅ Faith
✅ Obedience to God’s will
✅ Being inside the true Church of Christ
✅ Enduring until the end

“Now is the day of salvation.”

🕵️‍♂️ WHO IS THE “MOTHER OF HARLOTS” IN REVELATION 17?

In the Book of Revelation, a mysterious woman is described:

“And on her forehead a name was written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.”
– Revelation 17:5 NKJV

She is called a great harlot, seated on many waters—which the Bible explains means peoples, multitudes, nations, and tongues (Revelation 17:15). In short, she’s universal in reach.

Now ask yourself:

❓Which church calls itself universal?
❓Which church is headquartered in Rome?
❓Which church refers to itself as the Mother Church?

📚 According to the Douay-Rheims Bible (Catholic edition):

“Babylon: Rome. A metaphor probably founded on Jewish usage.” – I Peter 5:13 footnote

📖 The Catholic Catechism confirms:

“‘Catholic’ means ‘universal’…” (p. 146b)
“The Church is called Roman Catholic because its chief ruler is the lawful bishop of Rome.” (p. 146a)

The Bible likens the true Church to a chaste virgin (2 Corinthians 11:2). In contrast, a harlot represents a false church. Revelation calls this harlot the Mother of Harlots—meaning she has offspring or daughters.

🔍 When we match the Bible’s descriptions with historical and religious facts, it becomes clear:

👉 The Roman Catholic Church fits every sign.
She is the apostate church—the Mother of Harlots—mentioned in the Book of Revelation.

✅ Don’t follow tradition.

🛑 Is the Sign of the Cross Biblical?
Many Christians perform it daily. But did Jesus or His apostles ever teach this gesture? 🤔

📖 Here’s the truth—straight from history and Scripture:

🔹 The Bible never commands it.
Nowhere in the New Testament do we see Jesus or the apostles making the sign of the cross—or teaching anyone else to do so. (Check the Gospels, Acts, or Paul’s letters… it’s not there.)

🔹 The first recorded mention?
💭 Tertullian (around 200 AD) wrote:

“In all our travels and movements… we mark our foreheads with the sign.”
But even he admits it was a custom, not a command from God.

🔹 Even the Catholic Encyclopedia admits:

“The sign of the cross is not directly mentioned in the Bible… earliest record comes from the 2nd century.”
— Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, p. 498

🔹 It was institutionalized by the church centuries later.
It became common only after church rituals were formalized—not during the time of Christ or the apostles.

🚫 So what does that mean?
The sign of the cross is a man-made tradition, not a biblical command. It may feel spiritual… but it’s not from Scripture.

📢 Let’s return to worship that is based on truth, not tradition.
👉 John 4:24 — “God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”

🕊️ Who Has the Right to Worship God?
Not everyone. Only those God has elected and placed in the body of Christ—the Church—have the right to serve and worship Him.

📖 Why? Because God doesn’t accept just any worship.
Christ taught this clearly:

“God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth.”
—John 4:24 NKJV

Worship must be according to truth—and that truth includes being part of the body of Christ.

But what is Christ’s body?

“And He is the head of the body, the church…”—-Colossians 1:18 NKJV

Only those inside the Church are part of Christ’s body. And who placed them there? God did.

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased.”
—-1 Corinthians 12:18 NKJV

This is God’s election—His choosing of people to be in Christ’s body, the Church.

But how does one enter the body of Christ?

“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…”
—-1 Corinthians 12:13 NKJV

It is through baptism that one is added to the body—the Church of Christ.

⚠️ That’s why not everyone can worship God. Even if they call on Him, if they are not part of Christ’s body, their worship is not accepted:

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.”
—Matthew 7:21 NKJV

📌 So who has the right to worship God?
✅ Those baptized into the body of Christ
✅ Those God elected and placed in His Church
✅ Those who serve Him according to the truth

…What is the name of the Church that our Lord Jesus Christ purchased with his blood?

“Take heed therefore to yourselves and to all the flock, over which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, to feed the church of Christ which he has purchased with his blood.”
—-Acts 20:28 (Lamsa Translation)

✨ This is why we must value our membership in the Church of Christ (Iglesia Ni Cristo). It is not man-made—it is God’s will.

📣 Let’s continue sharing the truth, friends:

Not all are saved. Not all are chosen. But those inside the body of Christ—the Church—are the ones God elected to worship Him.

🧐 Is Jesus the Almighty in Revelation 1? Let’s take a closer look…

Many believe that the “Alpha and Omega” in Revelation 1 refers to Jesus Christ. But is that what the Bible really teaches?

Revelation 1:1 clearly sets the tone:

“The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him, to show His servants…”

If God gave the revelation to Jesus, that means Jesus is not the source—God is.

Further down in verse 8, someone says:

“I am the Alpha and the Omega… the Almighty.”

But consider this: just before that, Jesus is introduced as “the faithful witness” who “made us kings and priests to His God” (Rev. 1:5–6).

So if Jesus has a God, and the Almighty in verse 8 is God, then it’s clear—the title “Almighty” in Revelation 1:8 belongs to the Father, not the Son.

💬 What do you think?
Is Jesus the Almighty, or is He the faithful servant of the Almighty God?

“Is Tradition Replacing Truth?”

Many people today follow religious customs without ever questioning where they came from—or if they’re even found in the Bible.

Have you ever stopped to ask:
Is this what Christ truly taught?
Is this the faith of the Apostles—or just man-made tradition?

The Bible warns us clearly:
“These people honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules.” (Matthew 15:8–9 NIV)

Let’s go back to the source—God’s Word.
Not tradition.
Not opinions.
Not feelings.
Just Scripture.

Who Is Jesus Christ—According to the Bible?

The Lord Jesus Christ is the one and only Savior given by God (Acts 13:23). He is the Son of God (Matthew 3:17), the only mediator between God and man (1 Timothy 2:5), and the only way to the Father (John 14:6).

But here’s something the Bible never says: that Jesus is both God and man.

In fact, Christ Himself said, “I am a man who has told you the truth I heard from God” (John 8:40). His apostles affirmed the same: Jesus is man by nature (1 Tim. 2:5). He experienced everything human—He hungered (Matt. 4:2), thirsted (John 19:28), got tired (John 4:6), slept (Matt. 8:24), and even died (Matt. 27:50).

But unlike any other man, He never sinned (1 Peter 2:22, Hebrews 4:15).

Because of His perfect obedience, God exalted Him—gave Him a name above all names (Philippians 2:9–11), placed Him above all power and authority (Ephesians 1:21–22), and made every knee bow at His name.

Yet even in His exalted state, Jesus will one day submit all power back to God, showing He is still under the authority of the Father (1 Corinthians 15:27–28).

Jesus is not God the Son—a title He never used. He is the Son of God, the Servant of God, and the Man appointed by God to be our Savior.

Let the Bible speak.

What do you believe about Jesus—and is it based on Scripture? Let’s talk.
