Edited. Words in negrito were not part of the original text.
We use words today that don’t carry God's meanings. By "meaning" I mean what the Scriptures in its whole says about what a word really meant in that context in their time.

The Bible has its own vocabulary. God communicated His revelation with His words. By "His words" I mean, what is the meaning the Scriptures gives to every word in it.
Many of these words were pagan; they were not holy, like the word ecclesia. Pagan philosophers had used that word before. What I mean is, per example, Jesus used words that were not in the vocubulary of what we call "The Old Testament.

The word “apostle” is another word that is not mentioned in the Old Testament. It was a military word from the Roman Empire . Though there were apostles in the Old Testament, the word Jesus used was related to the Roman Empire use of the word.
What Jesus did? He used common words among people and gave His meaning to them.
Many of Biblical words are used today, but they don't have the same meaning when they were proclaimed by that prophet or written at their time. I meant what they meant for them, what was the message those words carried indeed when they were delivered. Due to etymplogical changes words used by Peter in the Scriputres and are translated today for its match in English may not carry the same meaning.
We have to rescue the meaning of these words according to their meaning in the Scriptures.
There are other words that don't communicate the message of the Kingdom. The name “Christian” and “Christianity” are two words that have nothing to do with what the Bible teaches and with what Jesus preached about the meaning of following Him.
Interesting that Paul never used the word Christian. I mean, the only time the word Christian appeas in Scripture with the meaning that was intended to be used in the Scriptures was used by Peter.
“Christian” according to the Holy Spirit in Peter means the one who suffer with Christ.
Christian means to suffer and die for Christ. Do you still want to be one?

”Dear friends, do not besurprised at the fiery ordeal that has come on you to test you, as thoughsomething strange were happening to you.
But rejoice inasmuchas you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may beoverjoyed when his glory is revealed.
If you are insulted becauseof the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory andof God rests on you.
If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind ofcriminal, or even as a meddler.
However, if you suffer as aChristian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name.
For it is time for judgmentto begin with God’s household; and if it begins with us, what will theoutcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
And, “If it is hard for therighteous to be saved, what will become of the ungodly and the sinner?”
Today to be a “Christian” means we are Christ like, little christs or we are followers of Christ. Christ like has a expression for it. It means are like Him and will be fully like Him.(I John 3)
To be a disciple of Christ is to be follower of Christ and has nothing to do in the Scriptures with the word “Christian”.
To be a disciple of Christ is to be follower of Christ and has nothing to do in the Scriptures with the word “Christian”.
Christianity is simple a term for a religion. Christianity in these terms has nothing to do with Christ Jesus. He has not found any religion like Buda (Buddhism), Mohamed (Islamism),Confusion (Confucianism) and a large number of others.
Go to any dictionary you will find exactly what Christianism means. Christianity is not a God's word, what I mean is, it is not ever mentioned in the Scriptures. It is a man made word in the sense that has no meaning according to the Scriptures, today It intends to apply in a good sense as referring to Christ, but also involves and refers to all "Christianism" groups and people: Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Roman Catholics, Baptists, Menonites, and all preachers like Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, Calvin, Martin Luther, Joseph Smith, Jim Jones, etc
If we want a revolution which is not also a word you find in the Scriptures we may “sanctify” the word to mean what it really means, but only applying to the Kingdom of God purpose:
We are overthrowing the powers of darkness and the powers of men with the Power of the Kingdom. The Power of the Kingdom is His King, Jesus; The Holy Spirit; God the Father.
Revolution means the overthrow of one government and its replacement with another.
"The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever." (Revelation 11:15)
We can by now talk about the meaning of the word Trinity, which it doesn't occur in the Scriptures like the word revolution.
Trinity means or the Christian doctrine of the Trinity defines God as three divine persons or hypostases (hypostases), the Father, the Son (Jesus Christ), and the Holy Spirit; "one God in three persons". The three persons are distinct, yet are one "substance, essence or nature". A nature is what one is, while a person is who one is
For me they are not three in one.The Father, the Son and The Holy Spirit are ONE.
You can't separate God like the word Trinity does in three persons.
I don’t use the word Trinity. I don't believe in "Trinity". I believe the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I believe in ONE GOD.
The Father is the Son, the Son is the Father, the Holy Spirit is the Son, the Holy Spirit is the Father,etc. What I mean is the Son though He is the Son He is God like the Father is. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ and can't be separeted distinctively of Christ if He was a total separeted person not being one with Christ. If the Father, the Son and the Spirit are One they can't be three.
Who died on the Cross, the Son, the Holy Spirit or the Father?
Look what Acts 20:28 says: “Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all theflock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His ownblood. God purchased the Church with His blood”
Does God have blood? Of course He has. God was made flesh and flesh (God made man) has blood. However traditional Theology by its systematic nature says God has blood as being man. Jesus has a human nature and a divinge nature. The human nature had blood, not the divine nature.
Does the Son, the Fathe ror the Spirit have blood?
GOD IS THE ONLY ONE GOD:
“Hear,O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” Deuteronomy 6:4. The literal translation is THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
“Hear,O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.” Deuteronomy 6:4. The literal translation is THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE.
Who is the Lord, the Son, the Father or the Holy Spirit? God, the Only One God.
Theology has divided God in three.
"I don't believe in a Trinity. I believe in ONE GOD: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit."
Who is God? The Father is God, the Son is God and the Holy Spirit is God. Though the Scriptures show each of Them distinctively. God is God. And the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are not the manifestation of the One God.
It is not all of them are God. It is not all! We must just repeat what the Word says. They are not all. The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit “is” One. It is so simple!
Are they three persons or one person? One person: that is it! Because God is One.
But they may accuse ME of being a Unitarian which is not accurate, if I just affirmed what I just shared.
I believe the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. I believe in One God, the ONLY ONE GOD. They are not three Gods; they are ONE GOD, ONE PERSON.
