The Ultimate Identity Theft

Posted in God, Religion, tagged , , , , , , on May 28, 2026| Leave a Comment »

Identity theft is a massive problem. Every day, scammers try to steal names, profiles, and data to pull off illegal moves, hoping they can pass as someone else. Because of this, we are constantly dealing with security procedures—two-factor authentication, face IDs, and security questions—just to prove we are actually who we say we are.

But here is something you might not have considered: God deals with identity theft, too.

All kinds of spiritual counterfeits and deceptive forces try to hijack His name to push their own agendas. The world is full of voices claiming to speak for God, demanding your attention, your devotion, and your life.

How do you know if the one claiming to be God is actually the real deal? How do you run an identity check?

The definitive proof is found in Jesus. He is the ultimate verification.

Hebrews 1:3

“who being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person, and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high,”

Colossians 1:15–17

“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him. And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.”

If any philosophy, leader, or spiritual entity claims to be God or speak for God, and it does not align with the living Jesus, it is a scam. Not another person who says he or she loves Jesus, not another system saying it believes in and honors Christ, not a Christ spirit who rested on Jesus, but Jesus, himself, who was raised from the dead and lives as the executor of his own will.

Any self-proclaimed prophet or deity who claims to hold the keys to eternity but never became flesh, never died for our sins instead of his own, nor anyone who remains in the grave is genuine. Jesus did it all and broke the mold.

Do not get conned by the counterfeits. Call them out.

Christ — Seated King

God … hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, … who … sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” — Hebrews 1:1-3

God has always been pure spirit (John 4:24) and though we may not realize it, today, before Jesus the idea a human could sit on God’s throne was just not thinkable.

Prophets looking into heaven were amazed at what they saw,

And above the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it. — Ezekiel 1:26

No one at the time thought it could be literal yet when Jesus purged our sin he bodily came out of the tomb, bodily ascended to heaven, and bodily sits on God’s throne next to Majesty.

What’s he doing there? Lots!

The Bible says he is praying for God’s mercy and grace on this dying world. It’s been noticed the wrath of God seldom falls like it did before Christ. That’s possibly because Jesus is there praying for mercy and grace — always referring to his sacrifice on the cross.

“He’s there from now to eternity to save everyone who comes to God through him, always on the job to speak up for them.” — Hebrews 4:25 (Message)

He’s preparing a place to receive us, his followers,

“I’m on my way to get a room ready for you. And if I’m on my way to get your room ready, I’ll come back and get you so you can live where I live.” — John 14:3-4 (Message)

He’s preparing us for his new world government.

“And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.” — Revelation 11:15

We are his now and have his ear, the ear of God. What a privilidge.

Christ — By Himself

Posted in Christ, God, Jesus, tagged on September 15, 2011| Leave a Comment »

[God’s] Son … by himself purged our sins” — Hebrews 1:3b

It couldn’t be the Father or the Holy Spirit, or even an angel, it had to be Christ alone and here’s why — God submitted this earth to mankind’s rule.

Remember Genesis?

“God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature So they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, And, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.” — Genesis 1:26-28 (The Message)

God’s plan required a human to rule. But the humans in charge became hopelessly dominated by sinister forces.

God’s unbelievable answer? Become human and take back the authority as a human. Imagine the sacrifice and the Love — voluntarily becoming human, not for a short time but for all eternity forward. Jesus bodily raised from the dead. Though his body has changed (as ours shall – 1John 3:2), it is still human and shall be human forever.

Christ legitimately reigns in the system he created.

“Here it is in a nutshell: Just as one person did it wrong and got us in all this trouble with sin and death, another person did it right and got us out of it. But more than just getting us out of trouble, he got us into life! One man said no to God and put many people in the wrong; one man said yes to God and put many in the right.” — Romans 5:18-19 (The Message Bible)

One more:

“Since the children are made of flesh and blood, it’s logical that the Savior took on flesh and blood in order to rescue them by his death. By embracing death, taking it into himself, he destroyed the Devil’s hold on death and freed all who cower through life, scared to death of death. — Hebrews 2:14-15 (The Message Bible)

That took guts! and Love!
