p.2 Denying who Jesus is Mr. Dustin Nemos states unequivocally (like Jehovah Witnesses), “Again. The actual early church fathers were the people who wrote the Gospels. None of them teach a triune trinity God. Neither does anyone in the old testament. Who DOES teach a trinity God? All Pagans. Semiramsis Nimrod and Tammuz. The Catholic Father Mary and Baby Jesus. Thus we find, with Catholicism and mass murder of true doctrine keeping Christians – Came this injection of lies and false doctrines contradicting the words of Yashuah himself.” Is Dustin Nemos using the JW cults literature that is circulated? His teaching on the church is filled with errors, on history and doctrine, just like the JW’s are. The content and way his arguments are framed, shows he knows as little as they do on the history of the Church, and correct Bible doctrine. First, let me correct this, it was the apostles who wrote the Scripture, NOT the church fathers. The apostles, who were Jesus’ disciples were the eyewitnesses that wrote his words and identified themselves in the record. This shows me that Mr. Nemos has not researched historical facts but cultic ones. Secondly, the early church long before Niacea council affirmed a Triune nature`, their quotes are too numerous to discount. And, the Scripture is replete in saying Jesus is equal to the Father, they are one (as God). In fact, God calls his Son God. “No theologian in the first three Christian centuries was a trinitarian in the sense of a believing that the one God is tripersonal, containing equally divine “persons”, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.” (Understanding The Holy Trinity Deception)All kinds of people from various places (different continents) in the early church spoke of Jesus as God, equal with the Father and even used the word trinitas and other words to describe the triune nature of God that was expressly taught in the Scripture. Even those who don’t believe in the Triune nature (i.e. Oneness Pentecostals) say Jesus was God incarnate (but wrongly used Isa.9:6 as him being the everlasting father). (see this article on the early church quotes to show history) This is the bottom line. You are not a Christian unless you come to God through Christ, who is the Way. This includes confessing in agreement who He actually is. He is the way because he is God in the flesh. If you deny who he is, then what gospel do you have? Not the one from Scripture. Then you are not a Christian/ believer no matter what you say (we will also look at what Nemos says is the gospel). Nemos says: “We Believe in YHWH, the God of Abraham. And his Son Jesus the Christ” He defines this as “Yeshuah (Jesus Christ’s true Hebrew Name) was a real man, he existed – and furthermore, was the divinely parented son of God himself, as part of Gods plan to redeem humanity from its mortal materialistic (sinful) natures and bring us back into alignment with our higher spiritual core selves .”Divinely parented son sounds strangely similar to Sun Myung Moon’s Jesus, not a Biblical way to describe God who became man. The forgiveness of sin is not an alignment with our higher self, which is not our spiritual core either. We are not brought back into alignment with someone we never were aligned with. He also says,“I believe that God (YHWH) is watching. Coram Deo and that His son, Yeshuah (Jesus Christ), died for our sins and was reborn.” Underline mine He was reborn? Or was he resurrected? The word reborn is never use.This has to do with the true gospel message or a counterfeit gospel message. As far as being the God of Abraham. God, YHWH, is identified as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (12 times) after God speaks to Moses. Ex. 3:6 “I am the God of your father--the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”(v.15, 16, Ex.4:5). After the three sons are born. Even to Jacob he says in Gen. 28:13 "I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac,” as he promised the covenant through the lineage (naming Jacob Israel in Gen.32). It is Muslims that teach of the God who is only of Abraham (1King 18:36; Mk 12:26; Acts 3:13; 7:32). This distortion of the Word, dis-informs people, misdirects. God calls himself the God of Israel 200 times (whom Jacob is named by God). In his covenant God promised Abraham the land to Israel, to him and his offspring, Gen.12. The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: 'I am the LORD your God ” (Lev 18:1-2.) Paul states in Romans 10:13: “And everyone who calls on the name of the LORD will be saved.” The apostle Paul who wrote much of the New Testament Scripture is quoting Joel 2:32 (calling upon the LORD “YHWH”) is fulfilled by calling upon Jesus Christ for salvation; they are one and the same. The Messiah is called “the LORD (YHWH) our Righteousness,” numerous places in the Old Testament. Nemos says,“you should always Be Careful Who You Trust.” I agree, we should trust God’s Word over any mans, especially those who disagree with the Word. Such as saying he “was reborn.” Words carry meanings. Clearly, Nemos does not accept Jesus as God the Son incarnate. Speaking of God’s people the Jews, "I mean, Jesus hated them as much as, as God, Yahweh hates them.”(Nov. 2, 2024 Dustin Nemos interviewed by Mike Adams). This implies the Son is not God, that only the Father is God. And it also means that God did not love all the people of the world; to Nemos, the Jews are especially excluded, even when Jesus says salvation is of the Jews. Nemos does not understand the Hebraisms in the New Testament translated into Greek, so he comes to the wrong conclusions. For example Mk 10:18 Jesus asks why do you call me good, only God is good. He is asking if the person recognizes him for who he is, the Messiah; God in the flesh. John 1:1 “the Word was God.” V.14 “the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father.” (God became flesh) Many of the same old arguments from cults who deny his deity are used. Yes, as a human He submitted himself, Jesus as a man, being a servant prayed to his father, being in submission to him as a human, on earth. He did what the Father led him to do. Nemos says: “The Right Hand (Yeshuah) is a creation of God The Breathe (Ruach / Holy Spirit) is God’s Breathe.” underline mine He says, Yashuah’s Divinity – Right Hand of YHWH. Not YHWH himself. However, God calls him my equal. God’s right hand is a Biblical term for the Messiah, his only son. Zech. 13:7 points to God's Shepherd, describing him as “The Man who is My Companion” (his equal). Isaiah tells us plainly God’s right hand is the creator. Isa. 48:13 “Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens.” The writer of Hebrews (1:10) quotes Ps. 102. God’s right hand, is also called the arm of the Lord, who is the Messiah. Isaiah asks in 40:25 “ To whom then will you liken Me, Or to whom shall I be equal?” says the Holy One.” Again in Isa. 46:5 “to whom will you liken Me, and make Me equal And compare Me.” No one can be equal to God, unless you are God. The New Testament answers this question of equality, as Jesus being the same in nature. In John 5:18 Jesus “said that God was His Father, making Himself equal with God.” Phil. 2:6 (Jesus the Son) “who, being in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God.” As Jesus stated I and my Father (‘we’ are one in Greek). While the word Trinity is not in the Bible it is a word that describes the nature of God. Understand neither is the word Bible in ‘the Word’, so should not use that as well? If you deny the trinity (a triune nature) as the one God then there is no way to have Jesus be God incarnate. When someone says; Jesus is NOT God incarnate they are not believing the most core doctrine, and the Gospel is altered, Rom.10, (That Jesus in not the true one the Scripture speaks of). “I don't consider jesus a man, Jesus is the son of God so he's in a different category a man yeah…” The Bible is explicit on this; Jesus is fully both man and God. These Scriptures say, 1 Jn.2:18-23 who is a liar, is one who denies this. Jesus in the flesh is God. 2 John 7 “For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.” 1 John 4:2-3 “ By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world.” 1 Tim 3:16 “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifested in the flesh.” As Paul states, “ Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God” (Rom. 9:5.) 2 Cor. 4:4 tells us he is the glory of God. Just as he said in John 17:3-5 “ And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent (both are the true God). V.5 “ And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.” If he existed in glory before the world was made than he is God. When God said he will not share his glory with another, he did not lie, for the Son is also Lord (YHWH) just as the Father is YHWH. The Father says IN THE SCRIPTURE his Son was sent from heaven by him, that he pre-existed before he came to earth, he was not a creature; He was NOT created. Nemos neglects key scriptures using the Catholic Apocrypha Bible for his proof. In fact, he goes outside the Scripture numerous times to disprove the Scripture. He quotes,2 Esdras 6:1-6, YHWH was ALONE at first creation, a nd ignores what Jesus said, and what the Father said! In Heb. 1:6 The Father says of the son "Let all the angels of God worship Him." God is not telling the angels to commit idolatry. V.8 to the Son He says: "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever” Still speaking of the Son V.10“You, LORD, (YHWH)in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands.” Just as it says in John 1:10-11“the world was made through Him,” which means he was present and involved in creation. The same is said in Col. 1:16-17 speaking of the Son, “For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible , whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him . And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.” Much more can be said on Nemos’ utter denial of the Son, but this should be sufficient. Nefarious men with strange and unorthodox interpretations are trying to bring confusion to what God has written, and determine who is on God's side by you agreeing with them, when they do not agree with the Word. The whole Bible speaks loud and clear on the Son being God. Jn.1:1the Word is God, as the Father is God. According to Mr. Nemos, when the Bible tells us he was God manifested in the flesh, he really wasn’t. All this is challenging Gods word to be the truth. Numerous times we read of Jesus being worshiped. Matt 2:11 the wisemen “worshiped Him. Matt. 8:2 a leper came and worshiped Him. Matt. 14:33 in the boat his disciples worshiped Him, saying, "Truly You are the Son of God." Which means Jesus is the Lord, he is YHWH, God. Or they are committing idolatry. The trinity is not a minor issue or a false view. In fact, you can’t explain God becoming flesh unless the one sent from heaven, who is the Son, is God. This is what is meant by ,“For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:8-9.) All that God is – is in Jesus, His Spirit nature, his attributes. Paul writes in 2 Cor. 5.19 “God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. ”It is God in Jesus, that is who died for our sins. When you deny this the bible says you are of the spirit of antichrist. There is no getting around this. John earlier wrote in chapter 4 of those who denied, “that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh” have the Spirit of antichrist. John was addressing the Gnostics who denied God became a man, in flesh, these false teachers denied the reality of the incarnation, and they still do today. John further defines “Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ?”(1 John 2:22-23), referring to God coming in the flesh of Jesus as the Messiah (Christ). This is also illustrated by Jesus saying: “unless you believe I AM you will die sin your sins.” Jesus was the incarnate God in human flesh, who became man only once. And he was raised in that same body, now glorified and is now at the right hand of the Father functioning as our high priest in heaven who hears and answers our prayers. p.3 Justin Nemos’‘christian’ beliefs?
