Who Is God?
By David Roman
God: Object of Worship/Attributes
-There is NO Eternal Son ( A Son has a beginning and an end)
-Jesus could not be His own Father
-Jesus was begotten by the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18 and Matthew 1:20)
-Who did Jesus talk to, and who was the voice which spoke from Heaven?
-Who is the “Only begotten Son of God?” · Sinful flesh could not Redeem us
-GOD IS
-ETERNAL – “No beginning, no ending”
-INVISIBLE – “Hidden from the naked eye”
-OMNIPOTENT -“All-Powerful”
-OMNISCIENT – “All-Knowing”
-OMNIPRESENT –“He can be everywhere”
-INFINITE – “Unlimited” -SELF-EXISTING – “Not Created”
1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) 16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Genesis 1:26-27 (KJV) 26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Genesis 5:1-2 (KJV) 1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
GOD IS SPIRIT (IN A THEOPHANY BODY) Man was first created in His image, Theophany (Spirit Form) and was both Male and Female
BUT THERE WAS NOT A MAN TO TILL THE GROUND
Genesis 2:4-7 (KJV) 4 These are the generations of the heavens and of the earth when they were created, in the day that the LORD God made the earth and the heavens, 5 And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth,
and there was not a man to till the ground.
6 But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.
7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
GOD FORMED MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND -FLESH- WHICH WAS NOT IN THE IMAGE OF GOD, BUT SUBJECT TO DEATH.
John 4:23-24 (KJV) 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
MOSES SAW GOD’S GLORY
Exodus 3:6 (KJV) 6 Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.
Exodus 33:17-23 (KJV) 17 And the LORD said unto Moses, I will do this thing also that thou hast spoken: for thou hast found grace in my sight, and I know thee by name. 18 And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory. 19 And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live. 21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
-When we die, we go to our Theophany (Spirit Body)
-Until we get our Glorified Body at the Adoption. (Redeemed)
-Our earthly tabernacle of flesh is temporary, Our spiritual tabernacle will be eternal.
-THE SPIRIT OF LIFE RETURNS TO GOD, THE FLESH RETURNS TO THE DUST OF THE GROUND, AND OUR SOUL IS EITHER SAVED OR LOST.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 (KJV) 7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
MANIFESTED SON'S OF GOD- THE LORD JESUS WAS THE FIRSTBORN AMONG MANY BRETHREN- WE ARE BORN AGAIN IN OUR SOUL- WAITING FOR THE ADOPTION, THE REDEMPTION OF OUR BODY WITH A GLORIFIED BODY.
ROMANS 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
ROMANS 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
THE LAST ENEMY TO BE DESTROYED IS DEATH.
1 CORINTHIANS 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
2 Corinthians 5:1-8 (KJV) 1 For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3 If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4 For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5 Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit. 6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
JESUS IS THE WORD MADE FLESH.
John 1:1 (KJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:14 (KJV) 14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
1 John 5:6-8 (KJV) 6 This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth.
7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three ARE one. 8 And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three AGREE in one.
THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD.ONLY ONE SAVIOUR.

Mark 12:29 (KJV) 29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Isaiah 45:21 (KJV) 21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Saviour; there is none beside me.
Hosea 13:4 (KJV) 4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, and thou shalt know no god but me: for there is no saviour beside me.

2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds;
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. 14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Matthew 3:17 (KJV) 17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Mark 1:11 (KJV) 11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

Matthew 1:20 (KJV) 20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.

John 10:24-38 (KJV) 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said unto him, How long dost thou make us to doubt? If thou be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
30 I and my Father are one.
31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which of those works do ye stone me?
33 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself God.
34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods? 35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
