Studies Considering the Trinity Doctrine
Welcome.
God is leading His people to get to know Him as the Bible declares Him to be. Study here with Pastor Daniel Mesa as he considers hundreds of Bible texts concerning God, the God of the Bible.
Christ was God Essentially
Taken from the only time this quote was not included in a compilation:
“The world was made by him, “and without him was not anything made that was made.” If Christ made all things, he existed before all things. The words spoken in regard to this are so decisive that no one need be left in doubt. Christ was God essentially, and in the highest sense. He was with God from all eternity, God over all, blessed forevermore.” RH April 5, 1906, par. 6
Ephesians 3:9 and Hebrews 1:1-2 speak clearly that God the Father created all things through His Son. John 1:1–3 says that all things were created by Christ, […]
The Latter (Ladder) Rain
Deuteronomy 11:14 That I will give you the rain of your land in his due season, the first rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Proverbs 16:15 In the light of the king’s countenance is life; and his favour is as a cloud of the latter rain.
Jeremiah 3:3 Therefore the showers have been withholden, and there hath been no latter […]
Answering Mr. O in Regard to Omnipresence
Mr. O, I mentioned I would put a video together, but after starting to write out the notes, I found that writing would be a good way to go. I hope you don’t mind the change in what I said I would do. My comments are in bold:
Hello Pastor. I have some concerns regarding this video presentation and I am hoping you can help me understand. First of all, I agree with everything you have presented as far as the sources you have quoted. My concern is, I am afraid I am not understanding your interpretation of the material you have conveyed.
Thank you so much. If you could help, I would request that you go through the video again, pointing out precisely where I have misconstrued the words I […]
Courtship with Isaac and Rebekah
Principles of courtship from the Bible
Genesis 24:1 Abraham was old, and well stricken in age: and the LORD had blessed Abraham in all things.
- Abraham, an aged man that God had blessed in all things. Old and wise, mature, careful, instructed by the Lord, someone who it would be well for us to take counsel from.
Genesis 24:2 And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, […]
Proverbs 8:22-30
This chapter starts out addressing “wisdom.” Notice how 1 Corinthians 1:24 and 30 address this issue saying that Christ is wisdom.
“Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 1:24
“Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom.” 1 Corinthians 1:30
Ellen White applies Proverbs 8:22-30 directly to Christ in Patriarchs and Prophets 34.1 by saying, “the Son of God declares concerning Himself…”
Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.
Possessed: […]
My Testimony and How God Has Led Me – the Richard Story Testimony
My Testimony and How God Has Led Me.
By Richard Story
The purpose of this testimony is not intended to be an all-inclusive autobiography. I’m trying to tell how I kept Jesus out of my heart, and He finally got me to listen to Him.
I was born in a Naval hospital, in Atlanta, Georgia, during a snow storm which is highly unusual for Georgia, even if it was December 12, 1944. I was 22 inches long, and weighed 6 lbs 12 oz. My initial size belied the fact that throughout my life I’ve been average height and definitely […]

Acts 2:22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
Acts 2:23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge (Gr: prognosis, 1 of 2 uses) of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he […]

God Looks Down
Deut. 26:15 Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
Psa. 14:2 The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God.
Psa. 53:2 God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. […]
Wh… I Am
John 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
John 6:51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.

God the Father 2.0 and QnA
“That there is one God, a personal, spiritual being, the creator of all things, omnipotent, omniscient, and eternal; infinite in wisdom, holiness, justice, goodness, truth, and mercy; unchangeable, and everywhere present by his representative, the Holy Spirit. Ps. 139:7.” SDA Fundamental Principle, 1889
Genesis 1:26 God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…

Melchisedec
There are 11 uses in the KJV
Genesis 14:18 And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God.
Notice, the Bible says he was the “king” and “the priest,” not the son of God, nor the spirit of God—and being a king and priest, he must have been a man. If, as the king of Salem (meaning peace), he brought “bread and wine” which were symbolic of the forthcoming life and death of the Son of God, could he not also be symbolic of […]
Gospel in the Sanctuary (Angels in the Sanctuary)
Steps to the Father
By Zaddoch Ponde GSrrM –Kenya
Hebrews 8:5 Who serve unto the example and shadow of heavenly things, as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle: for, See, saith he, [that] thou make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the mount.
Psa 77:13 Thy way, O God, is in the sanctuary: who is so great a God as our God?
- Light from the sanctuary illumined the past, the […]
A Deeper Look at the Angels
Revelation 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Daniel 8:15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16 And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, […]
Believe On!
The following verses contain every time the KJV uses the phrase “believe on.”
The following verses contain every time the KJV uses the phrase “believe on.”John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
John 7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for […]
How was Jesus Raised from the Dead?
Matthew 16:21 From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
Matthew 17:23 And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

Giving God His Proper Place – Parts 1-2
The first 19 years as a Christian (working since 2000 as a pastor), one of the things I came to do was to exalt a false Christ in the place of His Father. Since 2015, I’ve come to understand that we would be completely without hope were it not for the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Knowing the Bible describes worship of the Father and Son, we should not replace the worship of the Father with worshipping the Son, as I had been led to do.
God the Father:
-
-
- Gave His Son all power: (Matthew 28:18)
- Gave His Spirit to His Son: (John 3:34)

Is Jesus God Almighty?
Is Jesus Almighty God?
A question I’ve received often by many sincere, truth-seeking individuals is: Is Jesus the Almighty God spoken of in the Bible? The short answer, I tell them, is no. Of course, there are some difficult passages with which to wrestle, so in this brief article, I intend to tackle this matter and, hopefully, provide the reader a definitive answer that is easily understood and easy to explain. However, to answer this question with biblical soundness, we must answer a couple of other questions, first. So, let’s begin this study in God’s word by asking what is probably the simplest […]
God in the Sanctuary
God the Father “the highest.”
God the Father “the highest.” Psalms 18:13 [a prophecy of the cross] The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the Highest gave his voice;
Luke 1:32 [Jesus] shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest:
Mark 5:7 [a demon said] What have I to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of the most high God?
“I saw that the wings of the angels did not reach above the Father, for that would bring Him too low. I saw that the Father was in the […]
