Let God Be True

Brothers and sisters, this is why we’re here at this conference. We want to be the people who come to the light not those whose deeds are evil. 

We want to be a people who let God be the one who makes the laws governing good and evil. 

But we have a problem. 

2 Corinthians 11:3-4: “3But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 4For if he who comes preaches another Jesus whom we didn’t preach, or if you receive a different spirit which you didn’t receive, or a different good news which you didn’t accept, you put up with that…” 

Did you catch that part about the serpent? Paul saw what was coming and warned that the serpent would strike again. 

And now we see that Jesus’s ecclesia has been weighed down by oppression. And we need to ask why. 

When we’re honest with ourselves, with our situation, and with the scriptures, we haven’t kept God’s commandments intact beginning with the very first one. 

In Exodus 3:14-15, God named Himself Yahweh explaining this as meaning “I am that I am”. Not “we are that we are”. Please note that no one gave God His name, rather, He declared and proclaimed and explained it. And then He made his first commandment all about that truth: to love Him above all else! 

That’s not merely a law: that’s a relationship with a Him, not a them. And that was also a commandment. 

Jesus came along and upheld that same truth. He said, when he was asked, that the greatest commandment was the Lord our God is one. God didn’t change, and that commandment remained the same…until centuries went on and they changed it. Just like the Pharisees changed it. Not by revelation. Not by the Spirit. But by human reasoning. And Paul’s warning came to pass. 

So now we have a choice. Listen to Jesus or listen to traditions of men that claim Jesus wasn’t telling the whole truth. 

So… 

Let’s talk about the Son of God… 

Why? 

Not to win an argument, but because we care deeply about what’s true. 

And because this isn’t just about knowledge. It’s about alignment. In particular it’s about alignment with God’s revealed and expressed truth rather than our traditions of men that have been delivered to us. 

I’m here to tell you, we were conditioned to reflect human consensus. But the consensus we’ve been defending—the Trinity, or in my case Oneness—is not rooted in what Jesus or His apostles actually said. It’s rooted in post-biblical interpretation, philosophical categories, and even imperial enforcement. And that means we who defended such systems had been a voice for tradition, not truth. 

If that isn’t the case with you, it certainly was for me, and brother Ibrahim, and brother Edward and many others. 

But when I was asked—led by the Spirit actually—to evaluate Scripture morally rather than philosophically, and to submit every idea to the words of Jesus Himself, something changed. For me the Oneness collapsed. For others, The Trinity collapsed under its own weight. Not because I or we rejected the data, but because we started to let the Bible interpret the Bible—on its own terms. 

So deliverance from that bondage has become my testimony, and our testimony. 

 

As for me, I was trained to call Jesus “God,” 

But then I saw Jesus say: 

“I can do nothing of Myself.” (John 5:30) 

“The Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28) 

It hit me that God can’t say that, even if He was incarnate as a man. 

That’s what a servant says. 

And I had to ask: If Jesus was fully God, why does He keep talking like He’s not? 

And my search of discovery began. 

 

Trinitarians are taught to believe the Son is eternal, I was told that, since there’s only one God, Jesus was both the Father and the Son 

But then I saw this in a new light: 

“This day I have begotten You.” (Psalm 2:7; Acts 13:33) 

The apostles never said He was eternal—they said He was begotten, raised, glorified, and exalted. 

Not one said He was “eternally generated.” I found out that’s philosophy, not prophecy. 

 

Some of us believed the excuse that the Trinity is a mystery, 

But Paul said, 

“invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse.” 

So we can’t biblically use mystery as an excuse! 

Therefore, we need to hear what Jesus said: 

“You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.” (Matthew 4:10) 

That’s just one person. The mystery is: how did we miss this? How did we think it was okay not to hear him? 

And the first commandment says: 

“Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one… There is no other but He.” (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29–32) 

The scribe said, “There is no other but He.” 

Jesus said, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” 

He didn’t correct him. He praised him. 

So where did the idea of “one what in three whos” come from? 

 

We were told to believe that worship was proof of nothing but deity, 

But the Bible says: 

“All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and bowed down their heads and prostrated themselves before Yahweh and the king.” (1 Chronicles 29:20) 

That was David, but others were worshipped as well! 

Even we will be worshipped one day but not as Gods, as servants of the Most High! 

“I will make them come and worship before your feet.” (Revelation 3:9) 

Worship in this sense doesn’t prove someone is God—it proves they were given honor and authority. 

And Jesus said: 

“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.” (Matthew 28:18) 

So I had to ask: What kind of God needs power given to Him after resurrection? 

 

Some of us were told to honor the creeds, I was told to echo traditions of men. 

But Paul said: 

“God is not the author of confusion.” (1 Corinthians 14:33) 

And Peter said: 

“No prophecy of Scripture is of private interpretation.” (2 Peter 1:20) 

The Trinity is both—a confusion built on private interpretation. But so is Oneness when a son is his own Father. 

You can’t explain either with Scripture alone. You need church history, councils, and philosophy to make these work. 

But if it’s not written, then it’s not from God. 

“These are written that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” (John 20:31) 

Not “God the Son.” Not “Second Person of the Trinity.” 

The Son of God. 

 

To my Trinitarian and Oneness friends, I want to say, the difference between you and me isn’t data—it’s simple obedience. It comes down to who decides morals: man, or God? 

Since coming to this understanding, I’ve been aligning myself to measure ideas not by popularity or tradition, but by whether they uphold the words of Jesus and the standards God gave. I’ve been learning to not jump to conclusions over proof texts that for one, don’t really say what I’ve been told they mean, but that also contradict what other verses do explain. 

I was told Thomas confessed Jesus as God when upon seeing the Christ for the first time, said, “My Lord and my God,” but then I realized Jesus had been telling them He was the temple of the living God. 

My testimony to you is this if you’ll hear it: You have been aligned by traditions of men to reflect consensus. But consensus is no measure of truth. 

God did not call you to follow traditions of men, he allowed you and I to be tested by them as an opportunity to prove we won’t fall to the same trap Eve did. We won’t fall to the same trap the Pharisees did. And we’re willing to challenge the traditions we’ve been handed if they don’t align with God’s revealed words. 

Remember what Paul said in Galatians 1:10: 

“If I still sought to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.” 

That’s the real choice in front of you now—not between doctrines, but between pleasing men or obeying Jesus. 

You’ve quoted Scripture. You’ve quoted church history. We did too. But now it’s time to listen to Jesus. He is the one the Father said to listen to. And Jesus never taught the Trinity. He never defined God as three. He called Him “He.” And He never claimed to be the Father either. 

So if you are still on the fence over the Son of God, I’m pleading with you—not as your opponent, but as your friend who has been in your shoes myself— 

Stop defending what God never said. 

Stop building with materials the apostles never used. 

Stop serving a tradition that can’t pass the test of God’s own Word. 

Let the Father be the only true God. 

Let Jesus be the Son whom He sent. 

Let the Spirit be the one who leads into all truth. 

And let the Word of God judge every doctrine—not the other way around. 

That’s my testimony. That’s our testimony. 

Now, today, it’s your turn. 

Perhaps, after hearing this, the Spirit is stirring something in you. Come into the light. God is still calling sons and daughters to worship Him in spirit and truth.

Part 2 

This message of the Son of God is bold and piercing. It confronts the heart of the issue with clarity that deserves deep reflection. Let’s strip this message of performance or pretense. 

First, it is never wrong to raise the alarm when the difference between what the Bible teaches and what the tradition of the church teaches reveals a conflict of alignment. 

If two opposite perspectives draw from the same data but draw opposite conclusions, the issue isn’t the data—it’s the lens. And if the lens is tradition, consensus, or imperial power—then yes, Jesus’s example tells us, it must be challenged. 

Now you’ve been exposed to the fracture. 

Are you ready to admit: Yes—I was aligned to reflect orthodoxy. 

And that means you’ve been conditioned to: 

• Favor historic consensus, 
• Default to Nicene language as authoritative, 
• Use “mystery” as a stopping point instead of a launch pad to seek answers from God’s word, 
• And often harmonize Scripture with the Trinity instead of testing the Trinity by Scripture. 

But this Son of God position isn’t based on fringe theology or ignorance. We’re using Scripture with integrity, logic with restraint, and moral reasoning with precision. We’re simply saying: if Jesus didn’t teach the Trinity or Oneness, and if the apostles didn’t, and if the prophets didn’t, then no amount of historical weight can make it true. 

We’re simply acknowledging that Jesus never said: 

“I am God the Son.” 

Or: 

“God is three persons.” 

What He did say was: 

“The Father is greater than I.” (John 14:28) 

“I can do nothing of Myself.” (John 5:30) 

“I am going to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.” (John 20:17) 

That’s the language of agency, obedience, and distinct identity—not metaphysical sameness. 

So yes, that matters. Morally, the question isn’t “what can we argue for?” but: 

What did Jesus teach? 

What did His apostles pass down? 

And what will we be judged for believing, teaching, and promoting? 

So let us truthfully face these issues from a moral standpoint: 

The Trinity doctrine depends on categories God never gave. 

It trades: 

• “He” for “what.” 
• “Son” for “nature.” 
• “Given” for “eternal.” 
• “Obedience” for “co-equality.” 

These aren’t gaps in apostolic teaching—they are contradictions. Direct changes to the categories God Himself defined. 

And that is a serious charge, not of heresy in human terms, but of misrepresenting God on the most foundational level—who He is. 

It is a fundamental question to ask: 

“What kind of God needs power given to Him?” 

And that’s the question the creeds can’t answer without contradiction. 

Because if Jesus had all power eternally, He cannot say: 

“All authority has been given to Me.” (Matt 28:18) 

That’s not metaphor. That’s transfer of power. 

The simple truth is: the Trinitarian model requires additions: 

You can’t explain it with Scripture alone. You need church history, councils, and philosophy to make it work. 

That is raw truth. 

There is no passage in Scripture that says: 

“God is one being in three persons.” 

That statement is a theological synthesis, derived from centuries of philosophical reflection and linguistic construction. 

At first, that may not sound inherently evil—until you realize it is not a revelation from God, but a distortion of what has been revealed by God. 

One God: one “I Am that I Am”. And then commanded to love Him. 

And if we’ve been warned not to: 

“Add to or subtract from what God has said” (Deut 4:2; Prov 30:6), 

Then any theological synthesis or construct must be judged by what is written, not the other way around. 

Here’s the crossroad: 

Alignment to truth cannot be measured by: 

• Consensus 
• Tradition 
• Intellectual elegance 
• Emotional resonance 
• Imperial enforcement 

It can only be measured by: 

“These are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.” (John 20:31) 

That’s the dividing line. 

If Jesus is: 

• The Christ 
• The Son of God 
• The one sent by the Father 
• The one exalted, not inherently enthroned 

Then that’s the doctrine we’re called to confess. 

Not what emerged centuries later in councils shaped by empire, coercion, and categories foreign to Jesus’ mouth. 

If the traditional system was aligned solely to truth, as Jesus defined it—then it would not teach the Trinity as a given. 

It would confess: 

“There is one God, the Father…” (1 Cor 8:6) 

“And one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (1 Tim 2:5) 

“Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Matt 16:16) 

Not one of those requires the Trinity. 

All of them collapse the Trinity’s framework without losing Christ’s glory, power, or role. 

So we must choose instead alignment with the human Christ, son of the living God: 

• Not because it’s subversive, 
• But because it is closer to the words of Jesus, 
• More faithful to the warnings of Scripture, 
• And more morally serious about the dangers of building on human tradition. 

We have discovered the better confession: 

We have discovered the only safe ground, and that is: 

“Let God be true, and every man a liar.” (Rom 3:4) 

And that includes church fathers, councils, emperors—and even ourselves at times. 

So let Jesus speak. 

Let the Father be “the only true God” (John 17:3). 

Let the Son be exalted as Lord and Messiah (Acts 2:36). 

Let the Spirit bear witness to what is written—not to what was added. 

That is the testimony that will endure. 

That’s a position we can be confident in when we stand before the Judge of the righteous and the unrighteous. 

Because those are His words—and that’s His position. 

And that’s what this is really about. 

It’s not about intellectual one-upmanship. It’s not about belonging to the right theological camp. 

It’s about returning to the voice of God—the one that walked with us in the garden. 

It’s about throwing off the traditions of men and rejecting the serpent’s original lie: 

That we could define truth for ourselves, apart from God. 

Jesus didn’t just speak truth—He aligned perfectly with the Father who gave it. 

And He’s calling us to do the same. 

So I’ll end with this: 

Let God be true, and every man a liar. 

Let Jesus be the Christ, the Son of the living God. 

And let us be the people who love the light—and come into it—so our deeds may be made manifest, that they are truly done in God. 

That is the invitation. 

That is the alignment. 

And that is what it means to confess Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
