About me June 10, 2020 Hello, my name is Arnold Joseph Bur and I am an Elohimist. This website is the progression of my Biblical knowledge from 39 years of studying the Word of God with the guidance of the Holy Spirit from God The Father and His Only Begotten Son Jesus our Anointed Lord and King, amen*. (*Let it be so)
My family was Catholic when I was a child but, when I was in Intermediate/Junior High/Middle School, I was invited to a Christian Church. I was 13. I didn't understand what was going on or what I was praying until much later when I was invited to The Door Christian Fellowship in 1985. I was 24. I heard teachings and preaching that we must believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, ask for the forgiveness of our sins and confess Jesus as Lord.
My life changed when I asked God to forgive me of my sins and come into my heart in the name of Jesus Christ. All of my anger and shame disappeared and I was filled with The Fruit of the Holy Spirit because I was full of joy that was noticeable. Through the decades, God has delivered me from many trials and situations that only He could have changed.
Update: August 12th, 2022 is the beginning of a new season for me. I have been sharing on Facebook and YouTube with the hope of educating God's children to become a like-minded body of believers through new revelations that have been given to me from what is already written. When the people of God have renewed their minds and understand exactly what the Body of Christ is, we will be like-minded. We will be Elohimists. Ask questions and make comments.
Why I call myself an Elohimist.
Many churches that call themselves "Christian" are ordaining openly gay ministers. We must become separate, set apart from not only the world but, from denominations and religions that error in their teachings and who are not willing to accept the scriptures that are useful for Teaching, Correction, Reproofing and Training in righteousness. 2nd Timothy 3:16
We should not look like the world or love the things in this world.
1st John 2:15-17 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever. I am "not" a Pentecostal.
As I mentioned, I share on Facebook and, that has allowed me to communicate with people from many different denominations and religions. Oneness Pentecostals teach that God "became" the Son in order to keep to their Oneness Doctrine. They error in that Jesus said, I was sent. John 17:3 And, my personal favorite; John 16:28 I came forth from the Father and entered the world. In turn, I will leave the world and go to the Father.”
What really pushed my wife and I away from the Pentecostals is that they say if you don't speak in tongues, your not saved. This is not true. The Initial evidence of tongues is evidence of a gift. We should all have different gifts or the Body of Christ would be just one big mouth. A gift is not evidence of salvation either. Jesus said, Unless you bear good fruit, you will be cut down and thrown into the fire. Then the people said, Lord. Lord! We cast out demons and prophesied in Your name and performed miracles in Your name and He will say, I never knew you workers of iniquity. (sinful thoughts) Matthew 7:19-23 & John 15.
The Initial evidence of the Holy Spirit is the ability to say, Jesus is Lord. 1st Corinthians 12:3
I am not Trinitarian
God is not an egg. Three persons in one being. (Isn't an egg, 2 in 1?) Trinitarians teach that God "manifested" as the Son. This is very much like the Pentecostal teaching. If God "became" or "manifested", then God did 'not' "have" a Son. The common mistake that I see is, people teach that God became flesh, but scripture states that 'The Word' became flesh. John 1:14 And the 'Word' became flesh and dwelt among us. And we beheld "His" glory, a glory as of an "only begotten" 'from'TheFather, full of grace and truth. Berean Study Bible, NKJV, KJB
What pushed my wife and I away from the Trinitarians is that they love the egg too much. Easter is a pagan holiday. We went to a church and one of the members actually said that the pastor does not observed Easter but they do. We tried different churches and they celebrate Easter and Halloween and even Santa Claus Day. Should we celebrate the death of all the boys two years old and younger because Jesus was born? We celebrate His Resurrection which leads me to...
I am not Catholic
Catholics only mention Jesus as a baby in a manger and pray the rosary. Did you ever notice that even the Our Father is "not" prayed in the name of the "Lord" Jesus. We are not saved by believing only in Jesus but, by believing in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead and God made Jesus both Lord and Christ. Romans 10:9,10 & Acts 2:36 I could go on but, leave a comment or ask a question. I bought my children some new slippers in the wintertime and asked if they wanted me to wrap them up and put them under a tree until December 25th or do they want them now. Now! they said. I am not able to spoil my children even though I want them to have everything but, it is better that they earn it and build character to be productive citizens. I reward my children when they do something good, not because I'm Santa.
