Deity & Humanity Of Jesus Christ.

Deity & Humanity Of Jesus Christ.  
First edition, 4 January 1987.
(Revised in 2002. Rev 2). Joseph Vella.

I believe that tonight the Father wants to reveal Jesus to you in some more ways.
So I would like to talk and share with you tonight some things about our Lord Jesus.
We need to have an increased understanding of who Jesus Christ is, through the Word of God.

So tonight we will be looking at the Deity and Humanity of Jesus Christ.

The word DEITY is a word we use when referring to a Supreme Being; God.
The word HUMANITY is a word we use when referring to Human Nature.

Jesus always existed in His Deity as God; He is equal with the Father, and the Holy Spirit. He had no beginning; He has always been here. We call this the Deity of Jesus Christ.
     
The name for His Deity is Christ and Son of God.
The name for His Humanity is Jesus and Son of Man.

You have seen the words Jesus Christ, and Christ Jesus in the Bible.
Have you ever wondered why the Word of God says; Jesus Christ and sometimes it says, Christ Jesus??

When the Word of God says, “Christ Jesus” it is referring to His Deity. The action is from God to Man. That is, God, giving to the man

When the Word of God says, “Jesus Christ” it is referring to His Humanity. The action is from Man to God. That is, through the man Jesus we receive from God, or through the Humanity of Jesus, we receive from God.

Let's look at the Deity of Christ Jesus First.

      Romans 3:24 being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

This Scripture tells us that believing in His Deity that Christ is God is what redeems us.
(Redemption = ransom in full, salvation:--deliverance) The devil held us captive. Only a sinless man would qualify to pay the ransom and Jesus paid the price of Redemption, He paid the ransom with His Blood and with His Life; for you and me.

      Galatians 3:26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.

Believing in His Deity makes us children of God. Believing by faith in Christ Jesus
(Faith = assurance, belief, believe, reliance upon Christ for salvation)
 (Occults say – Jesus is Not God but a good man, or a prophet, or a teacher sent by God)

      Ephesians 2:6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
We are seated in Heavenly places Through the Deity of Christ Jesus.
The word Christ means “anointed,” and “the Messiah”.

Let’s look at some more Scriptures.

      John 1:1  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
      John 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God.
      John 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
      John 1:14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,..

In these verses, Jesus Christ is known as “THE WORD” most people would agree with that.          

So, to illustrate let change “THE WORD” with “Christ”. This will help to open up our understanding of this wonderful scripture in John 1: 1- 3 & 1:14
      “In the beginning was (the Word) Christ”-----------------------(He always existed.)
      “And (the Word) Christ was with God”--------------------------(Always existed with God.)
      “And (the Word) Christ was God”--------------------------------(He is God.)
      “The Same (Christ) was in the beginning with God”-------(Eternally.)
      "All things were made by Him (Christ), and nothing was made without Him. (Jesus created all things.)
        “And the (Word) Christ was made flesh, and dwelt among us”

      Colossians 1:16 For by him (Christ) were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

God spoke the words, and Christ created all things, God who is invisible, and immortal, became a reality, with substance, in the person of Jesus Christ in His Humanity.

Jesus Christ is Gods will in action; Jesus would NEVER go against the Fathers will.
He pleased God in everything He did, He had love and compassion, He healed the sick, He healed the blind, He cast out demons. All who came to Him were made whole and set free from bondage, Jesus is the Father’s will in action.

Jesus is still healing today, and He had chosen to do it through men and women who know Him as Lord and Savior. Jesus commanded us to preach the Word of God, to tell the whole world about Him.

Jesus in His Deity always existed, but in His Humanity, He had a beginning, He had to be born on the Earth.
God planned the redemption of all mankind, before the foundation of the Earth, God was willing to give up His only Son, to die on the cruel cross of Calvary, because of His Love for His Creation. God wanted Mankind to come to Him freely, of their own free will, to accept Jesus Christ as Lord, and Savior.                                                                                                            

Our free will is very precious to God, so He set aside a period of time, for mankind to learn to follow God, or to do their own thing, the choice is ours.
Jesus had to strip Himself of all Power, and Glory, He had with the Father and the Holy Spirit, to become the Redeemer of the World.
  

      Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
      :6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
      :7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in       the likeness of men:
       :8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

Jesus had to enter the Earth, just like every man, woman, and child, He had to be born in the likeness of sinful men, and to die on the cross, but in His Deity, He is, “The Same Yesterday, Today, And forever”.   Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.
   
        Jesus said in John 8:58...before Abraham was, “I AM”.
        Jesus also said in John 10:30...I and My Father are one.
       

The Jews wanted to kill Him when Jesus said, “before Abraham was I AM” because in effect, He was telling them that He was their God, the Great “I AM”. The Holy One of Israel.
 

To the Jews, God is known as, The Great, “I AM”, The Eternal God, The Alpha and The Omega, The Messiah, The God of Abraham, The God of Moses, Isaac, and David, etc.              
 

In the last days, This Great Righteous God of love and mercy, and compassion is going to draw His people, the great Jewish nation back to Him, they have suffered so much, at the hands of many peoples and nations, who have tried to destroy them completely. Hitler tried, the Arab nations tried, they have been taken captive, scattered and killed, yet despite all these efforts they still exist, against all odds, against overwhelming odds, why? Why?
 

Because these are Gods people, even though they are responsible for killing Jesus Christ, who is God’s Messiah, God turned Jesus death on the cross to good, for now, God is drawing the Gentiles to Him, because of the Jewish Nation.
God still loves the Jewish Nation, and one day they will know and receive Jesus Christ, as their promised Messiah. I believe that everyone, who knows Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour, can feel the Great love that God has, for the Jewish nation.
 

Let me tell you why ALL and every effort, to destroy the Jews Failed, and will fail, it is Because God made an “UNCONDITIONAL PROMISE” to Abraham, and I feel like shouting this out.
       
      Genesis 12:2  And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name     great; and thou shalt be a blessing:
      Genesis 12:3  And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. AMEN, and AMEN.

God said, He would bless this Great Jewish Nation, and He is doing it.
God said, He would bless any nation or people that bless the Jews, and He is doing it.
God said, He would curse any nation, or people that curse the Jews, and He is doing it. (Genesis 12:3).

Any nation, or people that go against the Jewish Nation, could find themselves fighting against the God of Israel.

The name for His Humanity is Jesus.
        
When the Word of God says, “Jesus Christ” it is referring to His Humanity.
 The names for His Humanity are Jesus and Son of Man.

Jesus came to the Earth, to Redeem Mankind from Adam’s sin.          
      John 1:14 ... the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
        
In the cradle, He was the Son of Man and the Son of God, and in His Humanity, Jesus had to grow and learn.
        Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
        Luke 2:52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.

In His Deity Christ Jesus always existed, always perfect God, the same yesterday, today, and forever, upholding all things by the word of His power, He had no beginning, and no end, He is eternal.
      
      Hebrews 1:3Who 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;

 The word of God is always consistent, it says Jesus first when it is referring to His Humanity, and Christ first, when referring to His deity, be aware of this when reading the Word of God, it will help you to understand.
An example of this is found in Philippians.
      Philippians 4:19 But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
The action is from God to man. God giving through Christ to man.

Another example is in Ephesians.
      Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:
Again the action is from, God to Man. God giving through Christ to man.
      
How do we pray? In the name of JESUS;  because the action is from man to God, a man praying to God, in the humanity of Jesus.    
      Colossians 3:17 And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, DO ALL IN THE NAME OF THE LORD JESUS, giving thanks to God and the Father by him

Paul by the inspiration of The Holy Spirit gave these instructions to the Church. Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus.
       
If you go to work, do it in the Name of Jesus.
If you wash the dishes, do it in the Name of Jesus.
If you fix the car, fix it in the Name of Jesus.
If you sing and dance, do it in the Name of Jesus.
We are to do all things in the Name of Jesus.
We are to come to God in the Name of Jesus

Paul writing to the Ephesians, by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, talks about the things that God gave to His Son, which have been given to us, and the fact that we have an inheritance.

      Ephesians 1:4-14 According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
      :5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,
       :6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.                                           
       :7 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;
       :8 Wherein he hath abounded toward us in all wisdom and prudence;
       :9 Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
       :10 That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:    
       :11 In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:
       :12 That we should be to the praise of his glory, who first trusted in Christ.
       :13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,
       :14 Which is the earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, unto the praise of his glory.
 
This is what the Apostle Paul is saying, in today’s language.
 
IN JESUS, we have been chosen before the foundations of the Earth.
IN JESUS, we are adopted, children.
IN JESUS, we are accepted in the beloved.
IN JESUS, we have redemption through His Blood, by Grace.
IN JESUS, we have been given all wisdom and care.
IN JESUS, we have been given knowledge of His will.    
IN JESUS, we are to be gathered together, in Him.
IN JESUS, we have an inheritance.
IN JESUS, we who have trusted in Him were sealed with the Holy Spirit, and know we have Salvation.

Definition of SALVATION = Soteria, Rescue or Safety, Deliver, Health, Salvation, Save, Saving.

We are to rejoice, for these promises are a fact, there are no mistakes in Gods Word.
If you have trusted in Jesus Christ, don’t be sad when problems come your way, rather rejoice.
Hold your head up high. You have a Covenant with the Almighty God, a Covenant, covered and sealed by the Blood of Jesus Christ, Gods Son, the Spotless Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world AMEN, and AMEN.
Salvation is a gift; it is by grace you are saved. The word “GRACE” means “Unmerited Favour”, free to all that would come.
        
      Ephesians 2:8-9 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:  : 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
      
Jesus became flesh to redeem us from the curse of sin, sickness, and death, by paying the price for Adam’s sin, or spiritual death, and to make us the Righteous of God in Christ Jesus.
 

      Romans 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man (Adam) sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (Brackets mine)
Because of Adam’s rebellion, spiritual death passed on to all mankind, and Mankind was without God, and without hope.    
      Romans 5:15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one [Adam] many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many. (Brackets mine).

 Paul, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, is saying, if because of Adam’s sin we have all sinned, how much more is the gift of Grace going to come upon many, because of Jesus Christ.  
     
      Romans 5:19 For as by one man’s (Adam) disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one (Jesus) shall many be made righteous. (Brackets mine)
      Romans 5:21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.

Sin entered the world; spiritual death and physical death, passed on to all men, for all have sinned because of Adam.
Just as sin passed on death, to all men, God’s Grace by Jesus Christ, has overflowed to many, unto eternal life.
That gift of Grace leads to spiritual life, or Eternal life, which is also called, “Born Again”, it is for all those who believe that Jesus Christ is God.               

Jesus came to give Mankind a second chance, and to set us free from the god of this world system, satan. To become the Righteous of God, in Christ Jesus, to be able to walk with Him, and to get to know Him.                                                     
 

      Isaiah 9:6 For unto us a child is born, (Humanity; Son of Man) unto us a son is given (Deity; Son of God): and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Brackets mine)
 
 Jesus is Both God and Man; In His Humanity, Jesus had to be born of a Virgin. In His Deity, He came as the Son of God.  
 
We are saved by believing that Jesus Christ is God, and not just some Prophet sent by God. This is very important, you see, the cults belittle and deny that Jesus is God, they have been tricked by the devil, the gates of Heaven is shut tight against them, they have been taught that Jesus is not God.
To be saved a person “must believe” that Jesus is God.
      Hebrews 10:5 Wherefore when he cometh into the world, he saith, Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me:
      
God prepared a body for Jesus, so He can be born on the Earth through a Virgin called Mary.                                                                     
Please understand. Mary the Mother of Jesus was the Mother of His humanity.
In His Deity Jesus always existed, God had no mother.                                                  

      Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
      Mathew 1:21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
      Matthew 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.

The Jews knew that the Messiah was to be “Born of a Virgin” and that He would be killed.
Isaiah 53 and Daniel 9:26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, [killed]         
    
Jesus came, preaching and teaching about the Kingdom of God, He was healing the sick, the hurting, casting out demons, and setting people free.
The Jewish people have never seen anyone like Him, He had such Power and Authority, and yet so much love, compassion, and tenderness, that He would weep for the people.
And so, great multitudes of people followed him, as He taught about the kingdom of God, and seeing the miracles that He did.                                                                           
                                                                                                                                      

The Jewish leaders, the chief priests, the Pharisees, and the scribes, were threatened by this, so they asked Him questions about the Holy Scriptures, hoping to trap Him in His teachings about God, so they could accuse Him of blasphemy, but they could not.                                                 
 

They would not accept Him as the Messiah, even though Jesus told them who He was, so they planned to set Him up, they had witnesses to accuse him falsely, they tried him illegally, they broke all their laws just to kill Him, by crucifying Him on the cross.
God, through the Prophets, kept telling the Jewish people, that He would send the Messiah, that He would come out of David’s line, born of a Virgin, without a man, but they would not listen. Here are some prophecies about the Messiah that they should have known.   
    
      Psalms 22:7-8  All they that see me laugh me to scorn: they shoot out the lip, they shake the head, saying, : 8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

      Psalms 35:16 With hypocritical mockers in feasts, they gnashed upon me with their teeth.

      Isaiah 26:19 Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.
       
      Isaiah 53:3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not

Jesus was obedient unto death, the death of the cross, to set mankind free from the devil, sin, sickness, and bondage.
To make all mankind right with God, that is, all who would accept Him as Savior and Lord.

You see, the fact is, that God the Son, stripped, or emptied Himself of all the Glory, Power, and Majesty, that He had with the Father, and the Holy Ghost, just to redeem you and me from eternal damnation in hell.  
       
      Philippians 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
        
The terrible price has been paid, Jesus Spilled His Precious Blood on that Cross, now it is our choice, do we accept His Death on the Cross, or do we deny Him, that choice, is the difference between Heaven, and hell.                                            
 

The fact is, there is no other way to be saved or to be right with God unless it is through Jesus Christ.
        
      Jesus said in John 14:6....I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.  
      
Unless people come to God by the way of the cross, covered by the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, and believing that Jesus is The Son of God, they cannot be saved.
Many people are taught wrong, they believe in Jesus yet, they don’t trust Him to save them, they put their trust in angels, saints, visions, and many other things, which is contrary to the word of God.


Let me tell you that the word of God, (the Bible) is Gods words of instruction to us, Paul said in Timothy,
      2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

Gods Word will set you free, and you will know Gods will for you.
      Jesus said, in John 8:31...if ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;
        
Jesus warns, in, Matthews 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.
 
How will they be deceived? Through lack of knowledge of Gods Word. If someone sees an angel, or have a vision, or a spiritual experience of some sort, they automatically think it is from God, because they don’t know better, and they do not check that experience out to see if it is in line with God’s word.            
Not every spiritual experience is from God, the devil wants to deceive people, to have them worship someone other, then the true God.
The devil doesn’t mind if you go to church or say your prayers every day, But he will try to stop the Gospel from being preached or taught, and he will try to discredit those who are preaching Gods Word, by deception, or some other way.
 

It is sad to say, that, this has been happening, so please don’t judge the people of the Most High God, that have fallen. Pray for them, with all love, forgiveness, and compassion, that God Almighty will find a way, to help them preach the Word of God again, with more boldness than ever before.
Pray The Lord of The harvest, to send Ministers Filled with the Holy Ghost, and with Power, that Love God, that will not compromise the Word of God, but to preach the Word as the Holy Spirit leads them. Amen.            

Some people are taught, that sickness and disease are from God, so He can teach us something, they should have more sense than that, they say, God wants me sick, so I can suffer for my sins.
If that is true, then why do they go against Gods will by going to the doctors, to get medicine for their sickness? No, sickness never glorifies God, and it is not Gods will for you to be sick never, never, never.
       
Jesus Death on the Cross is a COMPLETE WORK, of SALVATION, HEALING, and RECONCILIATION, we just need to learn to RECEIVE, what God has done through JESUS CHRIST.
      Look at, 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5, Matthew 14:14, Mark 1:34.
 

Jesus came to do the Fathers will on Earth, Jesus HEALED ALL who came to Him, God only gives good things to His children.
It was Jesus who paid the price for your sin, for your sickness, on the Cross of Calvary.
No one born on this Earth could ever pay the price of sin, because we are all born into sin, we are all guilty of sin. It would take someone innocent of sin, someone, who had never sinned against God, to cleanse us, to wash us of our sins, and that was Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, He paid the Price for us. Jesus said, in Luke,                                  
      Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

Jesus came to set the captives free from, the devil's bondage. To heal “ALL” who came to Him, from the bondage of sin, sickness, and death, [spiritual death] to mend the broken-hearted. This is “The will of God in Action, Through Jesus Christ”.
                                                                                                                          
People say, “yes, Jesus healed, but He healed because He was the Son of God, and as the Son of God, He can do anything”.
It is true He is the Son of God, but He did not heal, or do the miracles He did in His Deity, as the Son of God. 

He heals as a man, He healed in His Humanity, as the Son of man, anointed by the Holy Spirit of God, that is why Jesus said in,
      John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
       
Then He said in Mark,
        Mark 16:17-18 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
       :18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.


Jesus is telling the “believers” to go out and do the same work as He did, and He also said, we will do greater works, why did He say that? Because we also have the anointing of The Holy Spirit, just like Jesus, the same Holy Spirit, who did all those miracles through Jesus, also dwells in us, the greater One dwells in us.

Jesus had to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon Him before He began His Ministry, you see, Jesus came to do the work of the ministry as the Son of Man, and not as The Son of God.  
He came to show Mankind the way to His Father, and by His example, He revealed His Father’s will.

EVERYTHING THAT JESUS DID IS THE FATHER’S WILL IN ACTION.
 
God’s will never change, God healed and did Mighty Miracles in the Old Testament times, and Jesus healed and did miracles before His Death on the Cross.
He sent out His disciples to do the same work that He did before He died, and after He Died, and in the Book of ACTS 2:4 Jesus sent The Holy Spirit, to empower us to do the same works that He did, to please the Father.
Jesus Commanded believers to receive the Baptism of The Holy Ghost in Acts 1:4. Also Read, Luke 9:1-2, Luke 16:15-19, Acts 2:1-18.

Yet, some people are taught that the age of Miracles has passed, and God does not Heal anymore, that teaching is contrary to the WORD, and WILL of GOD.
We are in the Age of Grace, we have a better covenant with the Almighty God, Washed by The Spilled Blood of Jesus Christ.
 

We are in the dispensation of the Holy Ghost, who now indwells Believers, how much more will God Pour out His Blessings upon this Earth, to all who will receive.
You see, wrong teaching, or wrong beliefs, will stop you from receiving Gods Blessings, for example,
If you don’t believe in Salvation, how are you going to ask God for Salvation?
If you don’t believe in Healing, how are you going to ask God for Healing?
You might say, well, if God wants to heal me He can. No, He will not, you see, everything we receive from God is by FAITH, it is up to us to receive God’s blessings by faith.

 If you don’t believe in the Baptism with the Holy Ghost, how are going to ask Jesus to baptize you with the Holy Ghost?
If you don’t study Gods Word, how are you going to know Gods will for you?
 
The devil does not want you to know, that you can be “Born Again”, by The Spirit of God, to be saved and have eternal life.
The devil does not want you to know, that Jesus can baptise you with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues, as the Spirit gives the Utterance, (Power from on High).
 

The devil does not want you to know, that you can have a real Personal Relationship with Jesus Christ, and that you can have a Victorious Life, that you can lay hands on the sick, that you can have power over demons, over sin, over sickness and disease.
The devil does not want you to know these things, he wants to keep you ignorant, so he can lord it over you, and keep you in sin, in misery, and sickness and pain, with no love or joy in your life.

You know, I believe it saddens God’s heart, for His children to be taught that He is responsible for all the sickness and misery, just to teach them something, when sin, sickness, and misery, comes from the devil.

With the Love of God, I urge you, Please, Please, check out what you believe, “make sure” what you believe is in line with what is written in the Word of God, (The Bible).
Do not let anyone or any religion tell you to believe something that is against Gods Holy Word, only believe and receive what the Word of God tells you to believe, and not man, for the Word of God never changes, but man's ways and thinking always changes.
 

What we believe does not matter, if it is contrary to the will and purposes of God.
The best thing we can do is to study the Word of God with an open heart, and let the Holy Spirit of God show us what to believe, and how to believe.

My love in Christ Jesus.
