Amen 🙏 love my Apostalic faith...I came out of 6 different trinitarian churches in the first 1 and half of my search for truth. That was 40 years ago. I've read that book, and it was a wonderful book that reveals scriptural and historical truths. It was great teaching tool to share with others the absolute truth of The Mighty God in Christ.

I came out of a Trinitarian background, So Thankful for REAL Truth. Col.1:19; 2:9. So Thankful for these sessions. God Bless Bro. Bernard and Bro.Norris.

Amen, Glory for God to revealed in us the true one God which is Jesus Christ...😇😇

As I watch the passion of both, it shines an image of excitement one feels when we meet God in salvation. It is then we realize how powerful and personal God wants to be with every human. Not one person born again will have to go to two other "persons" to complete his/her salvational relationship.

I can’t believe you don’t have a hundred thousand people subscribed to your channel.

"I and my Father are ONE" John 10:30

[rickypineda]

I do admire Bro. David Bernard for uplifting our LORD God Jesus Christ as the one true God of the Bible. The only one that he is lacking is remembering the Sabbath day since our LORD God Jesus Christ is LORD of the Sabbath and the Sabbath is the Seal of His Kingdom in Heaven.

[gregs]

Wonderful content! Love the explanations and the passion :)

Acts 3:6
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.

"He that hath seen me HATH SEEN THE FATHER..." John 14:9

[kiwihans]

Strange how many theologians with ;degrees in theology' and 'professors' e.t.c are often quoted as an authority on what the bible really teaches! Paul said "For it is written"I will destroy the wisdom of the wisw and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent, But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the things wehich are mighty" ( 1 Cor 1:19, 27) John Wycliffe one of Christendom's greatest scholars said " I wish that the plow boy could understand God's word, more than the cleric"! Amen!

The following proves David K. Bernard is correct about the Oneness of God.
The following Scriptures proves who Jesus really is and that He is much more than just the Son of God.
Deuteronomy 6:4, “Hear O Israel: the Lord our God is ONE Lord.” Then several thousand years later Jesus said in John 10:30, “I and my Father are ONE.”

Exodus 3:13-14 states that before Moses came down from the mountain with the Ten Commandments he asked God who shall he say sent him. God said I AM THAT I AM, tell them I AM SENT YOU. Then several thousand years later Jesus said in John 8:58 "Verily, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was, "I AM." God did not reveal what His name was until Matthew 1:23-25, "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted, GOD WITH US." 25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her first born son and called his name JESUS."

Jesus said in John 17:21, “That they all may be one, as thou art in ME, and I in YOU, that they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that you have sent me.”

Matthew 26:15 states that Judas Iscariot (the disciple that betrayed Jesus), “What will you give me if I will deliver him to you? And they (the Chief Priests) weighed out 30 pieces of silver.”

Note back in Zechariah 11:12 in the Old Testament it says, “And I said unto them, If you think good, give ME my price and if not forbear. So they weighed for my price 30 pieces of silver.”

Note that is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob talking about HIMSELF after He became a MAN and before He was crucified.

It says in John 19:34, “But one of the Soldiers with a spear pierced his side, and forthwith came out blood and water. “Note back in Zechariah 12:10 it says, “....and they shall look upon ME whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him...”

Also in Zechariah 13:6 it says, “And one shall say to him (Jesus), What are these wounds in thine hands? Then he shall answer, Those are which I was wounded in the house of my friends.”

Psalms 22:16, “For dogs have compassed me, the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me, they pierced my hands and my feet.”

Also in the Old Testament - Isaiah 53:5, “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our piece was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.” Note that is the FATHER of the Old Testament referring to HIMSELF as He was hanging on the cross.

Mark 15:24, “And when they had crucified him, they parted his garments, casting lots for them, what every man should take.” Note back in Psalms 22:18 in the Old Testament it says, “They part my garments among them and cast lots upon my vesture.” Note that is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob referring to HIMSELF as He was hanging on the cross.

John 19:29, “Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar, and they filled a sponge with vinegar and put it on a hyssop, and put it to his mouth.” Note back in Psalms 69:21 it says, “They gave ME also gall for my meat and in my thirst they gave ME vinegar to drink.”

Jesus said in John 5:39, “Search the scriptures for in them you think you have eternal life, and they are they which testify of ME.” Jesus is referring to the scriptures in the Old Testament which are referring to HIMSELF before he took on flesh and became a man. (John 1:1, 10 and 14)

Paul said in Galatians 1:12 that he was not taught by any man but was taught directly by Jesus himself, which means that whatever Paul did or said was exactly what Jesus told him to say. Paul said in Hebrews 1:8, “But unto the SON he saith, Thy throne O GOD is forever and ever.”

Jesus said in John 12:44-45, “He that believes on me believes not on me, BUT ON HIM THAT SENT ME. 45 And he that sees ME sees HIM that sent ME.”

John 14:8-10, “Philip said to Jesus, Lord, show us the Father and it will satisfy us. 9 Jesus said unto him, Have I been so long a time with you and yet you have not known me Philip? He that has seen me HAS SEEN THE FATHER, and how do you say now, show us the Father?” 10 Believe thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? The words I speak unto you I speak not of myself, but the Father that DWELLS IN ME – HE DOES THE WORKS.”

Jesus said in John 14:28, “....for my Father is greater than I.” In other words, that paragraph is saying that the flesh and blood man Jesus did not heal the sick or raise the dead – the FATHER which dwelt INSIDE Him did those works, which He and the Father are ONE, which explains why Jesus said the Father is greater than he is.

Paul said in 2 Corinthians 5:19, “To wit that God was IN Christ, reconciling the world unto HIMSELF."

Paul said in Colossians 2:8-10, “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. 9 For in HIM dwells all the fullness of the GODHEAD bodily. 10 And you are complete in HIM (Jesus), which is the head of all principality and power.” The Godhead is IN Jesus - JESUS IS THE GODHEAD.

Jesus said in Matthew 23:37, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you that killed the prophets and stoned them which are sent unto you, how often would I have gathered your children together even as a hen gathered chickens under her wings, and you would not listen!” That is a very interesting scripture because Jesus is speaking as the flesh and blood man he was at that time but ALSO speaking as the FATHER (they are ONE) and referring to a time long before Jesus was born.

All the scriptures above prove the ONENESS of God and that there is no such thing as the Trinity.

We get the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost in the Name Jesus, which is why every time water Baptism was done in the Name Jesus, or in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, meaning Jesus name was invoked at baptism, which is Acts 2:38, Acts 8:14-18, Acts 8:38, Acts 9:18, Acts 10:44-48, Acts 16:15, Acts 16:33, Acts 18:7-8, Acts 19:3-5, and Acts 22:16. At no time did Jesus disciples use any combination of the words Father, Son, and Holy Ghost when they baptized anyone in water, or use a combination of those words in one sentence regarding any other topic.

Jesus said in Matthew 24:4, "Take heed that no man deceives you."

Jesus also said Jesus in John 10:27, "My Sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."

Please stress the oneness MYSTERY of GOD.

”No man hath seen God at any time. If we love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he hath given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.“
‭‭1 John‬ ‭4‬:‭12‬-‭15‬

The Spirit of God does not die, only the flesh that die. Our LORD God Jesus Christ the Creator of Heaven and Earth, the God Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the Almighty God, the Prince of Peace, the Everlasting Father, the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End, the only one true God of the Bible.

[Human-Earth]

I’m glad to find the oneness faith of Christianity, but it is still difficult to understand it for someone came from monotheism background belief .

When Jesus was
crucified and died, in that time, who really died?
If the died is the human Jesus, and he’s one in God as the same time!
Then
Isn’t complicated to understand how that two different nature existing in Jesus,
the man and God at the same time, then when rises from death, who rose?
God never die, isn’t it?

[jamescampfield]

You forgot to say that Peter said Lord show us how we are to pray? Jesus prayers are an example of how we are to pray to him in future Also shows that he came to fulfill all righteousness. I seen a video of brother Bernard saying that 33-year-old man dying on the cross was God and his video the identity of Jesus Christ that is a statement which is not true. God was never born and God was never 30. It's very important to understand the inner Man from the outer man the flesh from the spirit. Why make things difficult Jesus Christ came in the flesh God himself was manifested in that flesh 1st Timothy 3:16. I'm so glad for preachers such as Gino Jennings who explained the Oneness of God in a better way that I can understand. He doesn't make it difficult like brother Bernard does!

Scripture will never militate against scripture.
