I am not certain your interpretation of AD as being "After Death" is correct .... I always heard that "AD or A.D. stands for Anno Domini and is a label for numbering years after Christ was born. " Christ's BIRTH was a breaking point between B.C. and A.D.
You might want to edit that part as I thoroughly enjoyed your piece but cannot share it with what I believe to be such a blatant mistake ....
Cindy has it right. The years are measured at the birth, “the year of our Lord”
If we measure it at His death and BC as before He is born then we have 33 years we can’t assign a date to so year zero or year 1 is the birth of Christ. And He died in 33 AD.
If His death is used as the break point between BC and AD then you would have a problem as Christ would have to be born in 33 BC or 33 years Before Christ, which would make no sense.
I respectfully disagree with you on this ... "The Big Lie is the doctrine of the Trinity. The unholy consequence is that we are to believe God sent his only son to die for us. God didn’t have a son.".
How do you explain this scripture - According to Matthew 17:5 While Peter was still speaking, a bright cloud enveloped them and a voice from the cloud said “This Is My Beloved Son, In Whom I Am Well Pleased”, and Mark 1:11 and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
I disagree. Jesus prays to His Father many times in the NT. He addresses God as His Father. Did Jesus pray to himself? God is the Father, God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. Are we to pick and choose what scriptures we believe or not believe?
Like I said there are plenty of versus in the Bible you can point to the contrary...I know them all. They dont reconcile with Jesus' message of who He is.
But those verses are used to support an ideology of pagan tritheism. That is a historical FACT.
You are deep on this topic. Most humans and the rising generations have been dumbed down so much that these ideas you present seem impossible to understand. As I have said before Gen. 1 & 2 is going to be the foundation of the preaching of the Gospel in this season. So fundamental so basic. We were created in the image of God. What image? The image of Jesus Christ. Who came to Adam and Eve after they ate the fruit of the tree? Jesus did. Walking in the Garden in the cool of the day.
Thank you! Yes. ALL Christian patriots should be encouraged in these times by reading Psalm 83! We are the new Israel. The Lord tells us why. But this morning I went into my prayer room and thought how we are all awaiting the RESURRECTION. Yes, we are also prying and awaiting the resurrection of truth and Justice, civility, and love in America. We will get there. God is on our side. We love, we pray, we have faith. Peace. Thank you Biernutz. We love you too. Christ is RISEN! And we are glad. He overcame death, the devil, and grave injustice! There was nothing like it. But the cross happened for an excellent reason.
Everyone, please get your Trump 2024 bumper stickers and boldly show. Them I am saddened by my friends who call the republicans whimps, nd refuse to put a bumper sticker on their car in blue states. No! Read bout the martyrs , The Lord wants us to be as bold and brash as He was. It’s part of having faith!
I see you thoughts as one in the same, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, does not mean a trinity, but a God Head. One can always pick and choose scriptures to fit a a certain thought pattern, but I found your article to prove that there is a Father, a Son and the spirit the Holy Ghost. In talking about pagan Gods, you also have missed many of the Gods that Satan has unleashed on the pagan world, such as Baal/Zeus, Ishtar/Venus, Molech/Kronos. All of which were put away by Jesus Christ and Christianity, but have once again come out of the dark corners of the world to rule again in this Secular Western culture. Bottom line to live by is John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotton Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Honestly I have to go back and read the very end of your article, but I just had to tell you that I have been contemplating? Praying on? this very thing!!!!
You have tied my suppositions or inclinations all together....
I feel at peace with what I suppose I "knew" all along...
Not that—A.D. isn’t After Death; “2023” is the years since Christ’s birth, not death. But whatevs. Your quality as a thinker & writer is very high, that’s why I read you.
Why is it if someone disagrees with you you go straight for the throat?
“He’s a pagan!”
You don’t normally attack in your regular writings and articles. You actually strike me as quite a thoughtful and pleasant guy.
I disagree on this topic, it doesn’t make me a pagan. I believe in Christ. Just because I don’t think Christ went around talking to himself constantly doesn’t make me pagan.
There are many scripture references which are problematic in my view with the doctrine of the trinity. Praying to one’s self is but one, with, of course, many examples.
The doctrine doesn’t appear in the Bible as Trinity or triune. The doctrine came about after the death of the apostles.
The argument over the character of God ensued immediately upon their death. Nicaea is probably the best example.
Constantine decided that event. A pagan. If you disagreed with Constantine, good luck.
So I suppose we could go back and forth on this. Calling each other pagans and such, but I just disagree and I’m quite comfortable in my faith in my savior and redeemer Jesus Christ.
I don’t have a problem if you believe it, goodness knows you are not alone! But there are many disagreements in Christendom. I still see you as a friend and ally regardless of our differences on doctrine
My apologies. I know not everyone will get what I am writing. However, I am not calling you pagan. The triune godhead is a pagan concept that the Catholic church adopted.
IMO, AD started at Jesus' {Rebirth} upon conquering death, which took 3 days {God's perfect number} AND being 'reborn' upon his resurrection from the grave. This is a 'type' of being reborn upon the belief in Jesus' blood, just my opinion. It's sort of like arguing over the color of the carpet in the sanctuary. Stay safe...
Yes, I know..your point is understood. I am a devout Catholic and I understand your point. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Please let this be Amen already. Go pressure someone else.
I am not certain your interpretation of AD as being "After Death" is correct .... I always heard that "AD or A.D. stands for Anno Domini and is a label for numbering years after Christ was born. " Christ's BIRTH was a breaking point between B.C. and A.D.

Fixed it
Jesus' death IS the break point between BC and AD. IMO...
Cindy has it right. The years are measured at the birth, “the year of our Lord”
If we measure it at His death and BC as before He is born then we have 33 years we can’t assign a date to so year zero or year 1 is the birth of Christ. And He died in 33 AD.
If His death is used as the break point between BC and AD then you would have a problem as Christ would have to be born in 33 BC or 33 years Before Christ, which would make no sense.
Correct
Far be it from me to want to embarrass you, but please investigate B.C. and A.D. and maybe do some editing.
fixed it
I know its latin...the point remains
I agree ....
I respectfully disagree with you on this ... "The Big Lie is the doctrine of the Trinity. The unholy consequence is that we are to believe God sent his only son to die for us. God didn’t have a son.".

God himself, exclaims that Jesus is His son.
Words, phrases, and versus that depict relationship DO NOT constitute a definition of the godhead.
"In him dwelleth all the fullness of the godhead bodily." - Colossian 2:9
I disagree. Jesus prays to His Father many times in the NT. He addresses God as His Father. Did Jesus pray to himself? God is the Father, God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. Are we to pick and choose what scriptures we believe or not believe?
How do you explain Jesus' own words, before Abraham was, I AM?
These Jews knew what Jesus was claiming to be and tried to stone him.
The doctrine of the trinity is clouding and confusing peoples perception of Jesus just like the Jews never got who He was.
When you see it, you cannot unsee it.
Like I said there are plenty of versus in the Bible you can point to the contrary...I know them all. They dont reconcile with Jesus' message of who He is.
But those verses are used to support an ideology of pagan tritheism. That is a historical FACT.
Jesus is the ONLY way to be in the everlasting presence of God, I Am.
Jesus formed his Church.
Jesus got on the tree willingly.
Jesus was rejected and murdered by Israel per scripture.
Jesus was put in the grave for 3 days.
Jesus rose AGAIN on the 3rd day.
Jesus preached and showed himself to many for a short time.
Jesus ascended into the clouds as the Holy Spirit came down to dwell among us.
Jesus is the ONLY way.
God, I Am thought it into existence.
Jesus Said it into existence.
The Holy Spirit is with us to the end.
There is an End. The way is free, repent and call on God, I Am. Believe in the flesh and blood of Jesus.
Rev 4:1 seems to be near, IMO.
It's your choice...

Its a tough pill to swallow. I am used to it by now.
Hey, I like what you say. Please read Revelation the Fair God (a free book), the author uses interesting analogies. I think I would resonate with you.

You are a seeker of truth!

There are millions of people who believe as I do...we are not alone.

I love your work but this was an opinion pice and I’m happy to take it that way
I appreciate your faith, thanks for sharing
But if Christ and the father are one, who was Christ praying to in the garden?
you never talk or pray to yourself? the contradictions are many if your premise is that Jesus is somehow part of a tritheistic pagan godhead.
Why is it if someone disagrees with you you go straight for the throat?

THANK YOU FOR THIS BEAUTIFUL SUMMARY. ALL TRUE

What you "choose to believe" and what you "choose not to believe," doesn't change the truth. Sorry
Pagan assimilation into the Roman Catholic church is an absolute historical FACT.
Yes, I know..your point is understood. I am a devout Catholic and I understand your point. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Please let this be Amen already. Go pressure someone else.
Trinity is a pagan lie
Yes, I read that. I understand what you believe perfectly.
