***What Does 2 Peter 1:17 TRULY mean?
Here is 2 Peter 1:17 from the KJV. “For he received from God the Father honour and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
Notice that the Son of MAN, Jesus, RECEIVED from his God and Father honor and GLORY.
To this FACT there is no denying it. But some Christians DENY that the Son of MAN, Jesus, BECAME Deity after the cross and resurrection.
And they use this verse of Scripture to try to prove that Jesus entered into glory BEFORE the cross and resurrection.
However, the CONTEXT of this verse clearly teaches us that this is a VISION, which is a PROPHECY of a future fulfillment after Jesus SUFFERED and died on the cross, according to Luke 24:25,26, and John 7:39.

What if Your BELIEF is NOT of Almighty God?
This is the short “bullet-type” study that will guide you to learn the TRUTH of the TRUE Gospel of salvation that the Apostle Paul teaches so that you will not be deceived to believe and follow a perverted gospel that is VAIN and will NOT profit you or save you.
For you see, no true born-again Christian desires to believe and follow ANOTHER gospel that is NOT the TRUE Gospel that Paul preached.
Now, by the term “bullet-type” study, I mean that in this particular study, I will only give you a LIST of REASONS or POINTS to ponder for WHY the doctrine of the Trinity and the Trinity Godhead is ANOTHER gospel and NOT the TRUE Gospel of salvation that Paul preached.
Then it will be your job to click on as many reasons as you feel led by the Holy Spirit to dig a little deeper by reading the “medium-size” study.
Every link in the “short” LIST of reason ONLY version is the SAME link that will open the “medium-size” study where I give MANY Scripture references for you to look up on your OWN.
And thus, in that “medium-size” study I only quote and explain a FEW passages of Scripture under each reason.
And then, I give LINKS to my more IN-DEPTH studies for those who are TRULY seeking the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
So then, if you desire to go even deeper into the Scriptures, you can click on the LINKS that I give those seeking the truth to read the more IN-DEPTH studies on each and every reason where I explain clearly and in simplicity WHY and HOW three church “denominational” doctrines are false teachings.
Those three “denominational” church doctrines are the doctrine of the Trinity, the Oneness Pentecostal doctrine, and the two natures of Jesus doctrine at the same time, which again are all HERETICAL and PERVERTED gospels that are NOT the TRUE Gospel of salvation the Paul preached.
For you see, any OTHER gospel will NOT profit you or SAVE you!
Please read 2 Timothy 2:13-16.
“If we believe NOT, yet he abides faithfully: he cannot deny himself. (Or Jesus cannot deny what he taught his church to believe, follow, and obey or endure unto the end to be saved)
2 Timothy 2:14. Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive NOT about words to no PROFIT, but to the subverting of the hearers.
2 Timothy 2:15. STUDY to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
2 Timothy 2:16. But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.”
All Christians have the right to QUESTION what they are being taught even though some church denominations strictly forbid their members to question what that particular church denomination teaches.
In fact, it is the JOB of all Christians to read and study the Scriptures for THEMSELVES without the fear of church leaders “lording” over them.
For you see, the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us to study the Scriptures for ourselves in order to know if what we are being taught or what we have come to believe is of God or if it is of Satan, who has blinded the minds to the glorious Gospel of CHRIST Jesus, the Lord.
And what is of God is GODLY and what is NOT of God is UNGODLY.
Thus, some of what good, well-meaning Christians teach, is actually UNGODLY or NOT of God.
But please understand that they teach church TRADITION not KNOWING that some of it is false teaching.
And from what I have observed in the past, not all Christians know and understand that Almighty God MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Acts 2:36 and many other verses of Scripture.
Also, Christians need to know the DIFFERENCE between what the Bible ITSELF actually teaches from the “INTERPRETATIONS” that are read into the Scriptures based upon a preconceived belief.
Please read 2 Peter 1:16-21.
“For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
2 Peter 1:17. For he RECEIVED from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
2 Peter 1:18. And this voice which came from heaven we heard, when we were with him in the holy mount.
2 Peter 1:19. We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as unto a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:
2 Peter 1:20. Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the Scripture is of any private interpretation.
2 Peter 1:21. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.”
With that being said, here is the shortest version of this study that I call a “bullet-type” study, because YOU will have to do all the work to look up all of the Scriptures on your own.
And thus, this short version gives you THOUGHTS to PONDER so that you will QUESTION what you have come to believe before reading the following points to PONDER.
In other words, the more points to ponder you read, the more likely you will read at least one that will grab your attention to click on the link to read the “medium-size” version of this study.
And in that “medium-size” version of this study, you will be able to see from at least some passages of Scripture that I quote FOR you and explain, that you know and understand that you had better take HEED and dig DEEPER into the Scriptures to be that good “Berean-type” Chritstian to search the Scriptures for YOURSELF.
You will have to have a true desire to see if what you have come to believe is of God or of Satan, the god of this present world who has blinded the MINDS of some Christians to wrongly believe in and follow ANOTHER gospel that is NOT the TRUE Gospel of SALVATION that Paul preached.
With that being said here is the short “bullet-type LIST of reason for WHY you need to TEST your own faith to see if it AGREES completely with what the Bible ITSELF teaches us.
You can send the link to this short study to others or you can copy and paste just the LIST of reasons below and send them to others for them to test their faith.
Just so you know, I divided the list of 21 reasons into THREE separate lists, the first 10 reasons, the 37 FACTS to ponder, and the 11 reasons listed at the end of this study.
QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL!
Reason #1. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach THREE separate persons.
Reason #2. The Bible ITSELF must be FORCED to believe that the Holy Spirit is a THIRD separate person.
Reason #3. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach TWO Almighty God’s, but the Bible DOES INDEED teach us that the highest God who alone is the Father is over and greater than Jesus.
Reason #4. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us that the Son of God had a BEGINNING.
Reason #5. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in simplicity that the Son of God BECAME the ETERNAL Son of God AFTER the cross and resurrection.
Reason #6. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in simplicity that God MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection.
Reason #7. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach that the word “Godhead” means THREE.
Reason #8. It is ONLY the Bible ITSELF that we MUST believe!
And the Bible ITSELF teaches that God came in the FLESH of Jesus ANOINTED And thus, the Trinity Godhead is an ANTICHRIST doctrine and must be rejected!
Reason #9. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us the FULLNESS of the Godhead BEGAN to dwell in Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection, because the OBEDIENCE of the Son of MAN, Jesus PLEASED God!
Reason #10. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY Trinity Godhead is ANOTHER gospel that is NOT the Gospel of salvation that Paul preached.
Now, these first ten reasons should be more than enough for any Christian who is truly seeking the TRUTH to keep on digging deeper into their own studying of God’s word, comparing Scripture with SCRIPTURE to make sure that they are correctly “interpreting” every passage of Scripture in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
But below I have 11 more reasons for why the Trinity Godhead is HERETICAL! I also have over 37 FACTS to ponder regarding how the “INTERPRETATION” of Jesus being Almighty God Himself in the flesh CONTRADICT those 37 passages of Scripture.
So then, how can something that is supposedly the “truth” contradict what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY? Well, the obvious answer is that it is NOT the truth, seeing that it contradicts what the Bible itself teaches us.
So if you desire to go deeper into the word of God, I have a study that covers over 37 passages of Scripture for you to PONDER some more as to WHY Jesus is CALLED by TITLE does not mean that Jesus must, without fail, be Almighty God Himself who BECAME flesh.
Those 37 plus passages of Scripture that WHY the man-made theory of an eternal Trinity Godhead from all eternity past CONTRADICTS the very word of Almighty God.
I cover those 37 passages of Scripture more in-depth in the study called N-11. 37 Facts to Ponder about Jesus being GOD!
Plain and simple, the doctrine of the Trinity, the three in one Trinity Godhead, Jesus being Almighty God Himself in the FLESH is NOT specifically taught in the Bible.
And neither is a pre-existing God the Son who came down from heaven and BECAME or incarnated Himself to become FLESH prophesied in the Bible.
Also, the so-called TWO natures of Jesus at the SAME time, during the days of his FLESH, one divine and one human has absolutely NO Scriptures to support that man-made doctrine.
And the Pentecostal Oneness doctrine where Jesus is the Father, as one and the self-same BEING, are ALL heretical man-made doctrines that teach ANOTHER gospel, that the Apostle Paul WARNS us NOT to follow and believe, because a false gospel cannot SAVE you.
Paul warns us that those who follow ANOTHER gospel, that is NOT the Gospel that he preached, will profit them NOTHING and that they have FALLEN from grace.
Please read Galatians 1:6-12.
“I marvel that you are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto ANOTHER gospel: (And it was as early as the Apostle Paul when Satan deceived some Christians to start DIVIDING into sects, or what is called church “denominations” today, by their following MEN who taught a DIFFERENT gospel than what the Apostle Paul and the earlier Apostles of Jesus taught)
Galatians 1:7. Which is not another; but there are some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ. (The gospel of Christ is the good news that almighty God the Father has come to DWELL in us who believe that Jesus is the ANOINTED one of God.
In other words, Jesus is the FIRST human being that Almighty God came to DWELL in to empower him to overcome the enemy)
Galatians 1:8. But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:9. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that you have received, let him be accursed.
Galatians 1:10. For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. (Or the servant of the ANOINTING of the Eternal Holy Spirit dwelling in Paul, the SAME ANOINTING who dwelt in Jesus)
Galatians 1:11. But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is NOT after man.
Galatians 1:12. For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.”
Again, after reading just the first TEN reasons for WHY the doctrine of a so-called Trinity Godhead is HERETICAL and ANOTHER gospel that is NOT the Gospel that the Apostle Paul and Jesus preached.
WHY would any Christian want to remain believing in a FALSE gospel of MAKING a LIE, according to Revelation 22:14,15?
I implore you to read the study Dd-25. What does REVELATION 22:14 TRULY Mean?
And also, continue reading ALL of the studies that I have given links to within this study that I have suggested and linked.
Here is the link to part 1 of the two part “medium-size” version of this study called E-25. Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH? Part 1
You can send all three links to the brothers and sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ that you desire to lead out of Trinitarianism to restore their faith in the TRUTH of the TRUE Gospel of salvation of Jesus Christ, that Paul preached in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.
This “bullet-type” short outline study is to get them to THINK for themselves, where the “medium-size” version will lead them to dig deeper into the Scriptures for themselves.
And then, all of the links within the medium size study are the more IN-DEPTH studies that explain in detail the SIMPLICITY of the TRUE Gospel of Jesus Christ that cannot be rebuked.
Please be faithful to send the link of the short study called E-24. Are you SURE you Have the TRUE GOSPEL? to all Trinitarian Christians to get them started and then send the above link to the medium size study to get them to dig deeper into the Scriptures.
Share your testimony on how the Holy Spirit revealed some verses of Scripture to you that cause you to question what you had come to believe concerning God being a Trinitarian Godhead made up of three separate persons and how that teaching contradicts what the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY!
And here is the list of the remaining 11 of the 21 reasons that I cover in part 2 of the “medium-size” study called Dd-26. Will You DARE TO TEST YOUR FAITH? Part 2.
And here is the link to the 37 FACTS in the study called N-11. 37 Facts to Ponder about Jesus being GOD!
But for now, here are 11 MORE reasons for WHY the Bible ITSELF does NOT teach us the Almighty God is a so-called Trinity Godhead made up of three separate persons.
QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL!
Reason #11. The Bible ITSELF does NOT IMPLY, hint at, or suggest that God is a so-called Trinity Godhead as Trinitarian Christians CLAIM.
Reason #12. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach a so-called baptismal FORMULA as some Christians CLAIM!
Reason #13. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity that Jesus and the Father AGREE as ONE and NOT that they are one and the self-same BEING.
Reason #14. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in simplicity that God’s Messiah was PROPHESIED to BECOME a God under and subject to his God and Father.
Reason #15. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that everything Jesus is and everything Jesus has was GIVEN to him by his God and Father the ONLY TRUE God, according to John 17:1-3.
Reason #16. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus could do NOTHING of himself, according to John 5:19-31.
Reason #17. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach that Almighty God Himself died on the cross and if you do not believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh, then you will remain dead in your sins!
Reason #18. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach us that Jesus is the great I AM THAT I AM in Exodus 3:14!
Reason #19. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity that Jesus will INHERIT the earth.
Reason #20. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus is our BROTHER.
Also, here is a link to another Biblical Unitarian RESTORATION website that is working hard to restore the TRUE Jesus of the Bible back to what the very Apostles of Jesus teach us in the New Testament under the New Covenant.
Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus.
Once Christians, Jews, Muslims, and even atheists understand the REASON that Yahweh CREATED the Son of MAN, Jesus, was to have DOMINION over the work of Yahweh’s hands.
And after you understand that the REASON that Yahweh did that is to STILL His ENEMIES, Satan and the fallen angels.
Then you can understand that God made His human Son to become “a” Lord, “a” King, and “a” God, under and subject to his God and Father in order to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels.
For a deeper understanding of this WAR that Lucifer and one third of the angels waged against the throne of Almighty God, please read the studies under the subject category called ** Q-0 Why Are We Here? Is God at WAR? **.
