95-Disputations on Psalm 90:2 and the Everlasting Eternity of the Supreme Glory of Ultimate Glories of the Triune Majesty (in Latin the latter part "Gloria in aeternitate Summi finali gloria majestatis Trinus")

Psalm 90:2 KJV
"...Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God..."

 Who is this so weak and helpless,
Child of lowly Hebrew maid,
Rudely in a stable sheltered,
Coldly in a manger laid?
'Tis the Lord of all creation,
Who this wondrous path hath trod;
He is God from everlasting,
And to everlasting God.
Who is this, a Man of Sorrows,
Walking sadly life's hard way,
Homeless, weary, sighing, weeping
Over sin and Satan's sway?
'Tis our God, our glorious Saviour,
Who above the starry sky
Now for us a place prepareth,
Where no tear can dim the eye.
Who is this? behold him shedding
Drops of blood upon the ground!
Who is this, despised, rejected,
Mocked, insulted, beaten, bound?
'Tis our God, who gifts and graces
On his church now poureth down;
Who shall smite in holy vengeance
All his foes beneath his throne.
Who is this that hangeth dying
While the rude world scoffs and scorns,
Numbered with the malefactors,
Torn with nails, and crowned with thorns?
'Tis the God who ever liveth
'Mid the shining ones on high,
In the glorious golden city,
Reigning everlastingly.  (TH, 169).

8.)  The Son is the One true God.

9.)  The Spirit is the One true God.

10.)  What is the definition of God?  Eternal self-existence in the Power of Being!

11.)  The Father alone has the Power of Being.

12.)  The Son alone has the Power of Being.

13.)  The Spirit alone has the Power of Being.

14.)  The Power of Being is Triune alone by God-speaking revelation.

15.)  There are Three Distinct Persons in the Triune Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost.

16.)  The Holy Spirit and the Holy Ghost are one and the same in the Third Person of the Trinity.

17.)  There are not three modes of God but three distinct Persons in the Triune Majesty.

18.)  There is not a single Person who is God but there are Three Persons in One who are the one true God by self-existent nature.

19.)  Creation is not self-existent by nature.

20.)  Fallen Lucifer is not self-existent by nature.

21.)  Human beings are not self-existent by nature.

22.)  No animal or insect is self-existent by nature.

23.)  Creation lives and moves and has its being through the One who has the Power of Being.

24.)  In the beginning there was not a eternal universe.

25.)  In the beginning there was not a eternal earth, stars or planets.

26.)  In the beginning there was God because He always is, was and shall always be.

27.)  There was eternal fellowship in the Triune Majesty when there was nothing but Him.

28.)  There was eternal friendship in the Triune Godhead when there was nothing but Him.

29.)  Light is not self-existent by itself but resides in the self-existent sinlessness of the Three Persons.

30.)  Darkness is not self-existent by itself but resides in the self-existent of fury against sin.

31.)  Existence is not self-existent by itself but rather the very Being of the Triune God is because He is the very crux that is.

32.)  No human being could will themselves to be god.

33.)  Satan is unable to will himself to godhood.

34.)  It is impossible to will godhood in fallen creatures like it is to will faith without the Spirit and Word (Jn 3: 1:13; Rom 9:11, 16).

35.)  Can Christ make a god?  It is like asking God to make a rock bigger than He can carry.  No!  God will never make anyone into a god.

36.)  What does it mean to partake of the divine nature?  It does not mean we will be gods, but it means glorified saints have His divine unified righteousness by a heaven-born faith in Jesus.

37.)  Can God declare a saint a god?  No!  The gospel is about God-centered worship of the transcendent Three in One but not the declaration of godhood.

38.)  Who deserves worship, honor, majesty?  Simply the Three in One and One in Three alone, but anything else is contrary to Him and His eternal Word written in creation and on the palm of His Hand at the Cross in the writing in the sand of the world: namely, the biblical God-breathed Scriptures proclaim justification by faith alone (how someone is right with God) and godly living in foredetermined good works unto the glory of Jesus Christ alone.

39.)   The glory of the Father is the design of salvation.

40.)  The glory of the Son is the unified redemptive work of Jesus Christ alone.

41.)  The glory of the Spirit is the regenerating and sanctifying work of His definite presence.

42.)   Worship belongs to the Father alone.

43.)  Worship belongs to the Son alone.

44.)  Worship belongs to the Spirit alone.

45.)  To worship means to understand, comprehend and recognize that the One to whom a Christians worships is eternally self-existent: namely, from everlasting to everlasting by precedence of nature.

46.)  The Father is a non-creaturely and non-bodily divine personality.

47.)   The Son is a Person with two natures: namely, the human and divine nature without division, confusion, separation, or mixture.   The Son touching His divine nature always was in a non-creaturely sense as the eternal Word, but touching His human nature He was immaculately conceived in Mary His Mother by the overshadowing of the Spirit of God.   

48.)  We worship Jesus Christ touching His self-existent and eternal divine nature, but we make a crucial distinction between His divine and natures.  We ought to never separate the two natures of Jesus Christ, but use a propositional rationality in Bible-infallible truth to make a distinction so we rightly worship the Son who is condescended to us in becoming man.

49.)  The humanity of Jesus is a picture of God's "lisping" to us as little children as He once was to teach us about the ultimate sacred humanity by His Son who took upon flesh that hides His eternal deity in the condescension of His sacred and sinless humanity for the mission of the design of God the Father.  This is the same way of the Father and Spirit in that there an anthropomorphism (a human expression) where the Father and Spirit show us pictures of Himself as being under His refuge through the protection of His wings or other appearances of God in the Old Testament, but shows us that God should be worshiped because He alone is God.  I am persuaded that anthropomorphism constitutes a legitimate basis for art work about God without adoring it but to help grasp the biblical history, but this is a question for every conscience: namely, does it belong in a museum or does it belong in the church or both?  If art work is wrong about God, how do we accept prayer when God answers as extra-biblical revelation?  We surely do not accept it as extra-biblical revelation, but we are called to pray just like the pictures of God in written form teach us about His eminent beauty: namely, its all about God and not about us.  What shall we say about pictures of God based on the Old Testament Word?  My question is, was there not Pre-Incarnate appearances of God the Son in human flesh as a testimony to the future Incarnation of God the Son in Jesus Christ as the eternal Word who became flesh?  Is this not worthy justification for images about God in the Old God-Breathed Word?  If not its inconsistent, if so, you establish a rational biblical consistency.  Amen! 

50.)   If we worship the sinless humanity of Jesus Christ it is idolatry, because we have not made a vital distinction between the human and divine natures of Jesus Christ.  This is the problem of the Roman Eucharist but this is not Nestorianism.  This is really the answer to all images of Jesus Christ: namely, do not worship any image but use it to remember who Jesus Christ really is (like if you saw Jesus Christ in the flesh) because as He is covered in His humble humanity that resides the awesome Power of Being.

51.)  The sinless humanity of Jesus Christ is glorified to such an extent that it is deathless and in a glorified perfected state where it possesses extended attributes for His heavenly kingdom.  Jesus fulfills the all the Ten Commandments in Himself in sinless living, but we also see that His humanity is a picture of a non-graven image (human image) that is set apart where we gaze on the beauty of the Son.  It simply means because of the sinless human incarnation of Jesus Christ men may not worship an earthly image even of His humanity, but isn't His humanity allowed to be seen?  Calvin was right to exclude images if they were worshiped, but if it is there for remembrance of past history in the present time it is acceptable like picturing a Cross in your mind to focus on it.  Is that idolatry?  Not at all.  The way of Jesus is the way we must go. 

52.)  Touching the eternal deity of Jesus Christ He is the self-existent God and everywhere, but touching the sinless humanity of Jesus Christ He is at the Right Hand of Power of God the Father and sited on His throne where He never fails to intercede for God's people in Christ concerning His elect alone.
53.)   Do you worship Jesus Christ?
54.)  The Father is present in heaven and everywhere.

55.)  The Son is present in heaven and everywhere.

56.)  The Spirit is present in heaven and everywhere.

57.)  The eternal fellowship and friendship of the Triune Majesty always had time in their communing before anything was with Each Other where it places time not as self-existent but as heaven-based Triune "timology" preceding from His very Power of Being and Triune Majesty by His eternal nature.

58.)   Time is a reflection of the self-existent nature of the fellowship and friendship of the Triune Godhead where in spiritual realities it is possible to access the time of the past, present and future in like an unheaven heavenly-earthly now.

59.)  The self-existence of the Father necessities supreme glory.

60.)  The self-existence of the Son necessities ultimate glory.

61.)  The self-existence of the Spirit necessities supreme glory.

62.)  Glory is all attributed to the Triune Majesty.

63.)  In what sense are saints glorified?  Through the eternal Son alone in exaltation of His unified merits alone by the Spirit and Word gift of faith alone.  Is it because of something in them?  Not native to their flesh but the gift of God all around.  What does "glorification" mean?  Past glorification means God awakened His people alone to be a child of God.   Future glorification means the glorification of Jesus Christ in the most absolute sense of the complete dominance and furtherance of the harmonious merits of Jesus Christ alone for how someone is right with a holy God by a foredetermined non-meritorious living faith that gives glory to a holy Triune God though confounded with many sins, corruptions, weaknesses and failures that could never in any wise add to Jesus ' blood and righteousness but does reflect His goodness in a tainted and complete feeble weakness that God weighs the motives of fallen sinners at the Last Day but the greatest reward in all things is God Himself not some human achievement because we enjoy and glorify Him forever at His feet.

64.)  Honor belongs to the Father alone.

65.)  Honor belongs to the Son alone.

66.)  Honor belongs to the Spirit alone.

67.)  Veneration belongs to the Father alone.

68.)   Veneration belongs to the Son alone.

69.)  Veneration belongs to the Spirit alone.

70.)   Prayer belongs to the Father alone.

71.)  Prayer belongs to the Son alone.

72.)  Prayer belongs to the Spirit alone.

73.)  Kneel to the Father alone.

74.) Kneel to the Son alone.

75.)  Kneel to the Spirit alone.

76.)  Calling on a earthly friend is not the same as calling on a heavenly friend, but there is a vital distinction but not a separation.

77.)  Holiness is Christ alone.

78.)  Grace is Christ alone.

79.)  Goodness is Christ alone.

80.)   Righteousness is Christ alone.

81.)  It is acceptable to pray to the Father in Jesus' name.

82.)  It is acceptable to pray to the Son in Jesus' name.

83.)  It is acceptable to pray to the Spirit in Jesus' name.

84.)  It is acceptable to pray to all Three Persons at once, or even speak to them in a special time dedicated to Each of Them.

85.)  Do you worship anything less than the eternal self-existent Triune Creator and Redeemer? 

86.)  The Father is the divine Creator.

87.)  The Son  is the divine Creator.

88.)  The Spirit is the divine Creator.

89.)  The Father's design of redemption is like He is a Redeemer in the design of salvation.

90.)  The Son's work of redemption is as He is a the Redeemer where His unified work alone is how someone is right with a holy Triune God and predestinarian Christian deeds of honor in excellence to the supremacy of the greatness of God in all things to proclaim His preeminence.

91.)  The Spirit's work as regenerater and sanctifier is like a Redeemer where He applies the unified merits of Christ in spiritual rebirth in monergistic regeneration (devoid of Roman baptismal waters), but it is true that the Son alone is particularly given this awesome proclaimation of the matchless Redeemer where I have no quarrel.

92.)  The Father did not create from pre-existing matter but out of completely nothing.

93.)  The Son did not create from pre-existing matter but out of absolutely nothing. 

94.)  The Spirit did not create from pre-existing matter but out of totally nothing.

95.)  The everlasting to everlasting nature of God is so awesome that it shows by mere rational thought to be but also identifies fallen humanity as something that is contrary to the ultimate but we must seek the supremacy of the ultimate glory of glories in preaching the rational biblicalism of God-speaking eternal self-existence of the eternal-time of the nature of the Father, Son and Spirit.  To whom be all glory forevermore.  Amen and amen.

Lead on, O King eternal,
The day of march has come;
Henceforth in fields of conquest
Thy tents shall be our home:
Through days of preparation
Thy grace has made us strong,
And now, O King eternal,
We lift our battle song.
Lead on, O King eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet amen of peace;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heav'nly kingdom comes.
Lead on, O King eternal,
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
Where'er thy face appears;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us;
We journey in its light:
The crown awaits the conquest;
Lead on, O God of might.  (TH, 488).
