Sightedmoon Podcasts#73 One God or Three? Exposing the Roots of the Catholic TrinityHere’s the thing. No one, and I mean, no one believed that Yehovah was more than one at any time up until the Nicene Creed time period. The trinity doctrine comes from syncretism with babylonian mystery religion which was introduced by Simon Magus. The Simon Magus doctrine is what eventually morphs into Gnosticism and eventually Catholicism. So without addressing any scriptures, we already have a solid foundation for an understanding of what not to believe; by that I am referring to the confusion of the trinity. Yehovah also explains it to us in His name. Yeshua means Yehovah Saves. No...

Day 20: Christ, the Word of God’s Love
Neither have we any words to tell of God’s love for us, but God gave His Word, Christ is the Word, telling how God loves the word. Everything that Christ said and did and experienced on earth is the Word saying, “see how God loves you!”

Day 18: Seasons of Rest and Trust
If Christ is to come to flower and bear fruit in individual lives, there must be seasons of rest in which there is almost no activity but the giving wholly of self to nourish the supernatural life; just as the earth in which the seed is buried is given to nourish the bread. But, and this is even more important, there must be a permanent state of inward rest, founded in the peace of mind which comes from complete trust.

It is love that attracts, that draws God to His creatures: not a sensible love but that love “strong as death that deep waters cannot quench.”

This act is not “an external separation from external things,” but a “solitude of spirit,” a detachment from all that is not God.
