Title: A disguised version of Deism    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


I have to include myself in this.   

God simply and only means Deity.   

When a person thinks of God or speaks of God they are speaking of deity.   They are not assigning a specific person in such addresses.   

Jesus is Lord.   

Many, or should I say, most, Christians use the term `God` all too frequently.   

Who is God?   It depends on who you are talking to.   
    An atheist would tell you he is a figment of your imagination.   
    A Muslim will tell you he is Allah.   
    A Jew will tell you he is YHVH.   
    A Buddhist will tell you that he is you.   
    A Hindu would ask you `Which one?`

Christians should emphatically and exclusively identify Jesus as the True and Living God.   

Since it is impolite to refer to a person you know as `you`, it is even more impolite to talk about God without mentioning and using His proper name, Jesus.   

Not only is it impolite to use the term God when you really mean Jesus, it is deceptive because of the multitude of Gods that exist in different people`s minds.   

The Gospel is the good news of Jesus Christ
    who He is
    what He did
    what He has provided for us
    what He expects of us

Jesus is the stumblingblock that brings people into the Truth while driving others away from the Truth.   
As it is written, Behold, I lay in Zion a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whoever believes on him shall not be ashamed.
Even while Israel was misunderstanding the law, they misunderstood Christ Jesus when He taught and healed and performed miracles in their presence.     

The reason they stumbled at both the law and Grace was their pride and selfwill.

And I fell at his feet to worship him.     And he said unto me, See you do it not: I am your fellowservant, and of your brothers that have the testimony of Jesus: worship the Lord: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
The Testimony Of Jesus Christ states that Jesus is:
    Son Of The Holy Spirit
    Son Of Man,
    Way Truth And Life
    Door To Heaven,
    Image Of God,
    Righteous Judge,
    Everlasting Father,
    Prince Of Preace,
    King Of Kings
    Lord Of Lords,
    Lamb Of God,
    Alpha And Omega,
    Saviour And Lord,
    Ancient Of Days,
    Personal Saviour.

And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
This is one of the most important verses in the book of revelation for each of us personally.     

We overcome by two actions and one attitude.     The two actions
    Jesus shed blood
    Our testimony that Jesus is our Creator and Saviour.     

The one attitude is
    Being willing to die for Christ's sake.     

Take up Your Cross and enter into fellowship with Jesus, experiencing His suffering and His joy.

Whenever you encounter `believers` who prefer to use the term, God, rather than Jesus, recognize that you are dealing with a Deist.   

A Born Again believer In Christ Jesus who is filled with His Holy Spirit will praise the name of Jesus and not some nebulous entity called God.   

I guess you have figured out by now that I am a Jesus Only person.   I am not so by denomination but by revelation.   

The following is from Facts About Jesus    

    Jesus was in the beginning
    Jesus is the Creator
    God is the Holy Spirit
    Jesus named Himself by Gabriel to Mary.     
    The Holy Spirit is the Father of Christ Jesus
    Jesus is One with His Father
    Jesus is the express image of the Father.     
    Jesus is the name of the Father.     
    Jesus is the everlasting Father
    Jesus is Mighty God


    Jesus is the name of the Holy Spirit
    Jesus upholds all things by the Word of His power
    Jesus is King Of Kings
    Jesus is Lord Of Lords
    Jesus is the Saviour of the World
    Jesus has all power in heaven and earth
    Every knee will bow and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
    Jesus will judge all mankind
    Jesus will rule and reign over the earth

So, I hope that this clarifies the issue concerning God.   Deity has a name and it is Jesus.   Please call Him by His name and not by what He is.   

You will find that His Holy Spirit will respond to your praise and thanksgiving, you worship of Christ Jesus.   

If you are not convinced by this article, then please call yourself a Deist, rather than a Christian, because Christians are worshippers of and followers of Jesus.
