And thus the reason I quoted it (in a satorical way - saying that the Lord does
tell us that the true identity of Jesus is a Revelation). And it is very
applicable since the "fullness of the Godhead" is clearly displayed. On theme of
the final book is that Jesus is God. He opens the book (worthy due to His
sacrifice)... releases the seals and vials...commands the angels...judges
man....whips the devil....and takes His place during the 1000 years of peace and
in the New Jerusalem. The book is the revelation of Jesus Christ.

I agree and this is why the second part of post was composed....people are
willingly led by religions that stops short because they think they are okay.
They learn to rely on the ThD's to tell them what is and what is not. I actually
have talked to a AOG pastor that claimed to have never heard of anyone being
baptized in the name of Jesus! They allow themselves to be willingly led by the
"smart people". "Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer
of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?" 1 Cor 20
