A Letter Sent to a Doctor…

Dear Doctor,
Hello.

I am someone living in a city in the southern United States who loves the Bible. A couple of days ago,
a dear deacon in Korea introduced me to your video.
I am also the person who left a long comment on your video where you spoke about the Scriptures.

This morning, I woke up and listened to your reading of the Gospel of John. These days,
one of the things I have been focusing on is leaving comments on videos about the Trinity.
I write comments on both English-language and Korean-language videos.

What I would like to share with you today is this:
many people do not realize that John 1:3 and 1:10 are speaking of Jehovah God the One who alone created heaven
and earth becoming a man. I, too, lived my whole life without knowing this.

“All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that has been made.” (John 1:3)

“He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.” (John 1:10)

“This is what the Lord says your Redeemer, who formed you in the womb: I am the Lord,
the Maker of all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by myself.” (Isaiah 44:24)

“For this is what the Lord says—He who created the heavens,
He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty,
but formed it to be inhabited—He says: I am the Lord, and there is no other.” (Isaiah 45:18)

Doctor,
I am someone who believed in God like this my whole life.
I believed that in the beginning there were the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit the first, second, and third persons
and that the second person, the Son, came to this earth.
I believed that the Father only planned creation, and that the Son was the Creator.

As for me, I have been reading the entire Bible once a month since 2009.
As I wrote in the comment on your video, I did not know that Jehovah God,
who created all things alone, personally came as a Son (that is, became a man).
I did not understand what it meant that “the One who was with God was God.” I simply read it without truly understanding.

The One who came as a Son in the flesh was the same God of Genesis 1:1 the One called Jehovah,
who exists alone from eternity to eternity. When I began to read the Bible as it is, from Genesis to Revelation, I saw only Jesus Christ.

So now I tell people who believe as I once did that the Creator Himself became a man and declared that He is the Creator.

But the reaction has been intense.
People say, “Are you a Jehovah’s Witness? Learn the Bible properly.
How can the Son become the Father? Three persons created together.
If you don’t believe in the Trinity, you are a heretic.
Then what about the Son praying to the Father? God exists in plurality as Elohim.”

The doctrine of the Trinity that I knew taught that the three persons are distinct, yet one.
This is the orthodox Trinitarian theology taught in seminaries. For reference,
I am not a theologian—just an ordinary person.

That theology was established by a vote in the 4th century during the time of Constantine.
That is why the doctrines of the Catholic Church and Protestant churches are the same.
I lived my entire life without knowing this.

Doctor,
I mentioned in a comment that I could not understand Isaiah 9:6 for over ten years.
But truly, the everlasting Father the Creator and Savior came into this world as a Son in human form. That was Jehovah God.

There may be people who, like me, read the Bible for many years. But unless they hear the words,
“Moses wrote about Me,” no matter how much they read, they cannot realize that Jesus Christ is Jehovah.

The reason many churches today are dying is not only due to a lack of biblical knowledge,
but because the God proclaimed in the Bible is different from the God people actually believe in.

Recently, I debated this issue with someone for four days—whether God is three or God is one.
The conclusion I reached is that Satan has transformed the one God into the Trinity, and people, like I once did, do not realize it.

The gospel that Paul proclaimed is in Romans 1:2–4. Yet people do not know it, just as I did not.
Some even ask, “If the Trinity is in the Bible, show it to me.
I cannot understand it no matter how much I hear it. Explain how Jesus can be fully God and fully man.”

No matter how much they hear it, they cannot understand.

Paul proclaimed that Jesus is the Christ using only the Old Testament. But once God is divided,
that becomes impossible. I knew in my head that Moses and all the prophets wrote about Jesus.
But after realizing the simple gospel that Jesus Christ is Jehovah who became man, died,
and rose again—I was so immersed that I read the Bible up to five times a month, saying, “Ah, this is it, this is it.”

The problem now is that people read the Bible but cannot encounter God. If they do not recognize
that the Jehovah who said, “I am the first and the last,” is the same one God in the New Testament who said,
“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” then even if they read the Bible once a month with religious zeal as I did,
their eyes and ears will not be opened.

Even when I read this verse, I did not understand it at all. In fact, I did not even realize that I did not understand.

“I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am He, you will indeed die in your sins.” (John 8:24)

Jesus said that if we do not know Him as Jehovah, the one and only God, we will die in our sins.
Since I believed in the Trinity, it was natural that I did not understand this at the time.

Doctor,
The believers of the Old Testament believed in advance that Jehovah God would become man, die,
and rise again. The believers of the New Testament believed by seeing Jehovah in the flesh fulfill that promise.
And we believe by seeing, with the eyes of our hearts, the righteous works of God in history.

Yet if someone believes as I do, they are labeled a heretic. When the doctrine of the Trinity was established,
such belief was already defined as heresy. I only came to realize this after understanding the gospel.

Some people say, “I believe that too.” But if they truly did, they would be labeled heretics.

Doctor,
Jesus Christ is the very God whom people have labeled a heretic the Jehovah God who alone created the world, who said,
“There is no other besides Me,” and who came in the flesh.

Until the day the Lord calls me, I will proclaim this:
that God exists alone from eternity to eternity,
that He is both the root and the offspring of David,
and that He came in flesh and blood for His children and swallowed up death.

That is why Paul proclaimed that He came from the line of David and was raised from the dead (2 Timothy 2:8).

Since you said that if you read the Gospel of John and wished to share, you could do so,
I chose to share this by email instead of leaving it as a comment.

Thank you for taking the time to read this long letter.

Jehovah Shalom.
