Treatise Against The New Ebionites Called Hebrew Israelites

By ssoreal

Those who claim to be the physical descendants of the ancient Hebrew people place an emphasis on the father as the one and only God, denying that the son and the holy spirit are also God, denying the Godhead being the Trinity. They falsely assert that the trinity is a later Roman Catholic doctrine created during the council of nicaea. Such a belief causes many in their "camps", a term they use to describe their gatherings, to only teach the places in scripture that support their heresies. But we have from the writings of the apostles and prophets that bring to light a very real trinity of which the 12 apostles and early christians teach.

Jesus himself calls him self "I AM". A phrase only used for God himself.

John 8:24
for if μη πιστεύσητε you should not believe ότιthat εγώ I ειμι AM, αποθανείσθε you shall die εν in ταις αμαρτίαις υμών your sins.

Therefore, I said to you that you will die in your sins. For unless you believe
that I AM, you will die in your sins." 
(Unlocked literal bible translation)

so I say to you, that you die in your sins; for whenever you trust not that I AM, you die in your sins.
(Exegesis companion bible)

John 6:20 while walking on the water

ο δε And λέγει he says αυτοίς to them, εγώ I ειμι am he, μη φοβείσθε fear not!

And he says to them, I AM, fear not.
(Apostolic polyglot interlinear)

And he words to them, I AM! Awe not!
(Exegesis companion bible)

Matthew 14:27
ευθέως δε And immediately ελάλησεν [spoke αυτοίς to them ο Ιησούς Jesus], λέγων saying, θαρσείτε Courage! εγώ I ειμι am, μη do not φοβείσθε be fearful!

Immediately spoke to them, courage! I AM, do not be fearful.
(Apostolic polyglot)

But straightway Yah Shua speaks to them, wording, Courage! I AM; Awe not!

John 18:5-8
5  They answered him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am." Judas, who betrayed him, was also standing with the soldiers. 6  So when he said to them, "I am," they went backward and fell to the ground.
 7  Then again he asked them, "Who are you looking for?" Again they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 8  Jesus answered, "I told you that I am. So if you are looking for me, let these go."
(Unlocked literal bible translation)

They answer him, Yah Shua the Nazarene. Yah Shua words to them, I AM. And Yah Hudah, who betrays him, also stands with them: 6 so when he says to them, I AM, they go backward, and fall to to the ground. 7 So he asks them again, Whom seek you? And they say, Yah Shua the Nazarene. 8 Yah Shua answers, I say to you, I AM: so if you seek me, release these to go their way.

Our Lord and savior declared plainly before his disciples, the Pharisees and the Roman soldiers of his deity as God. The "I AM". A description Moses knew all to well:

"Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they say to me, 'What is His name?' what shall I say to them?" And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM." And He said, "Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" (Exodus 3:13-14).

The beloved apostle Peter spoke of him as "our God and Savior Jesus Christ”
(2 Peter 1:1) And the apostle Paul also spoke of him as "our great God and Savior Jesus Christ." (Titus 2:13), "the Christ who is God over all, blessed forever. Amen.
(Romans 9:5). He speaks of "God our savior" yet only lines later he says "Christ our savior" in his pastoral epistle to Titus.(Titus 3:4-6) Even the apostle Thomas who first doubted called him "My Lord and my God!" On the day he rose from the dead. (John 20:28) 

The epistle to the hebrews taught the believers there that Jesus was God from the psalms.

Of God the Psalm 102:25-27 states: 

Of old you laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands. They will perish, but you will remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will change them like a robe, and they will pass away, but you are the same, and your years have no end. (Psalm 102:25-27) 

Of Christ in Hebrews 1:8,10-12 the writer applies this same psalm to Jesus calling him God.

But unto the Son he says, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. And, "You, Lord, laid the foundation of the earth in the beginning, and the heavens are the work of your hands; they will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment, like a robe you will roll them up, like a garment they will be changed. But you are the same, and your years will have no end."
(Hebrews 1:10-12) 

He calls the son God and acknowledges his throne. We speak of The Trinity as "The Godhead". A phrase found in the scriptures themselves, spoken by Paul, and written by lukes account of the church in The acts of the apostles. And Paul in his epistle to the Romans and the Colossians.

Acts17:29  Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device. 

Romans 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 

Colossians 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.

This phrase literally means 1) a general name of deities or divinities as used by the Greeks 2) spoken of the only and true God, trinity 2a) of Christ 2b) Holy Spirit 2c) the Father
- Thayer's Lexicon Greek New Testament Definitions

And our beloved apostle John reveals to us the very Godhead and calls them one. He says, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.(1 John 5:7)

The church father Cyprian on his Treatise I On the Unity of the Church repeated this very passage from john in his own times from the 3rd century.

"and again it is written of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, "And these three are one."[22]"

He died in 258AD

Jesus calls the father "the only true God" in his prayer in John 17:3. And yet in John 1:18 Jesus is called "The one and only God"  and in the Kjv Jesus is plainly called God, whom the father has declared and made known..

No one has seen God at any time. The one and only God, who is at the side of the Father, he has made him known.
John 1:18 ULB

No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 1:18 KJV

Many errendously refer to the holy spirit not as "He", but "it". Reducing the spirit of the Godhead to mere substance of created nature. Countless times Jesus refers to the holy spirit as "He" in John 16. In acts 5 Peter calls the holy spirit God in passing when rebuking those who lied to the holy spirit. The prophet isaiah recounts the rebellion of Israel against the holy spirit as they grieved him:

Isaiah 63:10
But they rebelled and grieved his Holy Spirit. So he became their enemy and fought against them.

And the psalms records the same event, yet calling the one grieved God.

Psalms 78:40-41
How often they rebelled against him in the wilderness and grieved him in the barren regions(desert)! Again and again they challenged(tested) God and offended the Holy One of Israel.

The trinity explains why God made creation function the way it does. Because life is relational and communal. All is to connect. And remain in communion. Just like the Trinity. The father, son and holy spirit are all called God. Past, present and future are all called time. Solid, liquid and gas are all called matter. Height, width and depth are all called space. There is nothing pagan about seeing the heart of God in creation through the Trinity. They remove the trinity and replace it with nothing. And miss all of the scriptures that reveal such amazing truths in scripture that draws us closer to our God.

To Christ our Lord be all glory and honor unto ages of ages. Amen
