Imre A. Bertalan Michael Walker Executive Director Administrator (Continued from page 7) 95. The Spirit of Jehovah created heaven. The Spirit of Jehovah is Jah, Jehovah, the God of the Fathers. He entered into the New and the Old Covenant, with the Fathers. Jeremiah 31 and Ezekiel 2 & 3 & 8 & 11 and Hebrews 3 & 4 & 8 & 10. The Holy Spirit is called God, and made the Covenant which the Jews broke. The Holy Spirit said: T wish to make a New Covenant - not like the Covenant I made with them when I led them forth.’ Thus says the Holy Spirit: ‘Do not harden your hearts as your fathers tempted Me in the wilderness!’ Hebrews 3 & 4 & 8 & 10. It is to Christ that this is attributed. Romans 14 and First Corinthians 10 and Isaiah 45 & 63. Likewise the Holy Spirit. Therefore the one and only God Jehovah, [the Father and] the Son and the Holy Spirit, is true and unchangeable... “1.) That which is not the eternal unchangeable Jehovah Who so remains at all times for eternity - is not T am; I was; I shall keep on being’ - is not God. “2.) Cursed be the god Z”r\ That is the novel, new, recently-originated one - which was not from all eternity; which did not make everything; which has not been from everlasting. Such is N ch”r - that is: strange; portrayed outside of the Being of the one God; originated from that which was created. Deuteronomy 6 & 10 & 11 & 30 & 32 and Psalm 81. Such gods shall perish, not keep on being worshipped. Jeremiah 7 & 10 & 23 & 33. The god made from the neighborhood, which did not make everything, and is not from eternity - goes under! Deuteronomy. 5 & 10 & 31 and Psalm 81 and Jeremiah 7& 10. “3.) Cursed and not to be worshipped is that which is not the one and only God, and which did not make everything! But Christ and the Holy Spirit did make everything - They have hence been worshipped like the Father. Psalm 95 and Ezekiel 2&3&8&11 and Isaiah 45 & 48 & 63 and Job 26 & 27 & 33. So too the Son and the Holy Spirit are not new gods, cursed new gods - but They are the one and only God, like the Father. If then the Son and the Holy Spirit were not the one and only Jehovah, the Creator and Maintainer - They could not be worshipped as the true God but would be cursed and new and strange gods, and not be from the Father’s Jehovic and eternal Godhead from all eternity but be originating from a temporal beginning. Jeremiah 10 & 23 and Ps. 81. “Answer to the defamation by opponents [who say that] the Holy Spirit and the Son are not called Jah, God, Jehovah... Psalm 95:6 is said not only of the Father, and also not only of the Son, [but also of the Holy Spirit] - where it says: ‘Come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker!’... This is rightly said in Holy Scripture of the Father and also of the Son. Yet the Apostle in Hebrews 3 and 4 applies it also to the Holy Spirit, together with the Father and the Son. For it is the custom of Scripture, that one and the same statement is displayed for three witnesses. “Thus the statements: God created; God executed; God was tempted: God performed miracles - are attributed to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. See Isaiah 6 & 40 & 43 & 45 & 48 & 63 and Deuteronomy 4:5 & 32 and First Corinthians 8 and John 1 & 5 & 8 10 and Job 26 and Hebrews 2 & 3 & 4 and Romans 14. (To be continued in our next issue)
