Overview of Christianity

Christianity vs. All Others

The three members of the Trinity set up titles for themselves.

One took on the title of the Father. One took on the title of the Son, and the third took on the title of the Spirit.

Now remember that all three are co-equal, co-eternal, and co-infinite. They all three possess the same identical essence attributes. They are all all-knowing and all-seeing and so forth. There is nothing that one has that the others do not have.

And among themselves they created a hierarchy, and an order of access. Rules of sorts, if you will. The Father assumed the highest position, while the Son adopted the second position but became the required conduit to the Father. And the third member of the Godhead, became the means of that contact. No one was allowed to see or address the Father without first going through the Son, and they had to utilize the Spirit as their means of that contact.

So, the stage was set. But remember that in eternity past, there was only God and no other creatures, not even the universe. But the rules of access to God were established.

Then, the angels were created and they all got along marvelously.

Then the universe was created, and the angels had to have been impressed by that creation event.

But somewhere along the line, Lucifer, the greatest of all the angels, wanted to become like the Most High, who is the Father. The Bible does not say that He wanted to be like all three of the members of the Godhead, but like the most high, singular, and specific to the Father.

Satan became his identity for his rejection of the rules of access, as well as his lust to have Gods attributes, which he could not have of course.

And that sets up the pattern for humanity and our access to God.

Man tries to elevate himself to God or to become acceptable by God as an equal, but man has no ability to accomplish that.

Sin, or imperfection and taints, prevent man from elevating himself to Gods level.

But God set up a plan, again in eternity past, where by man could gain access to God, the Father, but only if man recognizes the Son as the point of access, and advance to God through the Son.

Thus Christianity is born. Man may have access to God, through the Son, and not by any other means.

Man rejects this rule just as Satan rejected it, and man then invents religion, of which Satan is the author. Satan is the author of all lies including religion.

Religion is Satan's invention and man perpetuates it through mans own imagination from arrogance.

So, man invents Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Islam, and many, many other religions and beliefs and philosophies, all of which reject the Son.
