Munchkins in the Trunk (10 Com @ Skewel)

 


Have you ever thought about writing a book such as How to Rob a Bank in 3 EZ Lessons?  Why not?  Somewhere in a Galaxy not too far from Uptown OKC the following events "happened" ...


 

Nervo and Scamy had a fantastic brainstorm while watching the original #Oceans11 with Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis Jr. and Dean Martin:

You may have read of the dangers of self-driving cars.  Despite this, Nervo and Scamy rented a self-driving car from U-Drove and reprogrammed it.  They hid in the trunk of a 1969 Lincoln Continental Mark III and used a remote-control to head to the bank.  They crashed thru the front entrance of Fred & Ethel's House of Dough$ (Credit Union) and got away with $1,234,777.66 ...

Five years later their neighbor Granny Milford got suspicious during her frequent trips to #HobbyLobby  She noticed that Nervo & Scamy always used #Fresh $100 dollar bills @ the checkout.  #LetsGoDavidGreen  The same deal when Granny visited Mardel Christian & Education Inspiring Gifts & Decor.  Things that make you go "hmmm..."  #JAY

Granny snitched and called the #COPS  The Jury sentenced them to 8 years of #HardLabor  After five years of severe toil, they were let off for great behavior and they now run a homeless ministry, The Intergalactic Homeless Reactive Force.  Other such ministries:

Nervo & Scamy put in a request to the Traffic Division to allow Hebrew lettering on Oklahoma license plates:


 

 

How could we have prevented Nervo & Scamy from straying from the #NarrowPath ?

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. ... It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. (Heb. 10:26,27,31)

 


 

A 25 yo man driving a Dodge Ram crashed into the Social Security office of Big Spring (TX) in 2015.  This occurred right across the street from where we lived which was right by the Big Spring Mall.  The driver fled the scene, but was later arrested and charged with public intoxication.

What about the Ten Commandments in public schools?  There have been movements in State legislatures to protect public displays of the Ten Commandments (e.g. Indiana, South Dakota, Colorado, Florida, Illinois,  Kentucky, Missouri and Oklahoma).

Muldrow, Oklahoma and the Ten Commandments:

Recall that God's own finger wrote the Ten Commandments #10Com >> 

 

When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the Lord had made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I ate no bread and drank no water.  The Lord gave me two stone tablets inscribed by the finger of God. On them were all the commandments the Lord proclaimed to you on the mountain out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. (Deut. 9:9,10)

 

 

In 1980 (Stone v. Graham), a United States Supreme Court decision struck down a Kentucky law requiring that the Ten Commandments be posted in public schools:

Here is a an argument from the ACLJ (Jay Sekulow) defending the legitimacy of public displays of the Ten Commandments:

The Forgotten Trinity - Nicene ReMyx


 

Many churches recite the Nicene Creed on a regular basis:

 

We believe in one God,

      the Father almighty,

      maker of heaven and earth,

      of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

      the only Son of God,

      begotten from the Father before all ages,

           God from God,

           Light from Light,

           true God from true God,

      begotten, not made;

of the same essence as the Father. ...

And we believe in the Holy Spirit,

      the Lord, the giver of life.

      He proceeds from the Father and the Son,

      and with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified.


 

James White, who wrote What Every Christian Needs to Know About the Qur'an, has written The Forgotten Trinity which is a powerful defense of this doctrine and confronts cultic distortions.  Before the Corona Crisis there was a debate (11-13-19) where James White faced off with Shabir Ally at Georgia Tech in Atlanta, GA on the topic "Tawhid or Trinity: Is God One or Three Divine Persons?"


 

Another helpful resource is Knowing the Truth About the Trinity by John Ankerberg and John Weldon which answers questions like "Why is the Trinity a mystery?" and "Is belief in the triune God critical?"  Here's the Westminster Confession in modern English (Ch. 2, Sec. 3):

 

In the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, having one substance, power, and eternity: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. The Father exists. He is not generated and does not come from any source. The Son is eternally generated from the Father, and the Holy Spirit eternally comes from the Father and the Son. (Mt 3:16-17, 28:19, 2 Cor 13:14, Eph 2:18, Jn 1:14,18, 17:24, Heb 1:2-6, Col 1:15-17, Jn 15:26, Gal 4:6)


 

The Trinity: Evidence and Issues by Robert A. Morey (d. 2019) defends the Trinity from the Old and New Testaments. He looks at Jewish writings and the Early Church Fathers.  This massive tome has nearly 600 pages!  You may find Michael Brown's talk on the Old Testament and the Trinity here.  Dr. Brown has recently put out The Silencing of the Lambs: The Ominous Rise of Cancel Culture and How We Can Overcome It.

 

Consider Jesus' baptism:

 

When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.” (Lk. 3:21,22; cf. Jn. 1:29-34)

 

Francis Schaeffer (d. 1984) spoke of the mutual love between the members of the Trinity.  Here's the proof:

 

æ The Father sends the Son. (Galatians 4:4; 1 John 4:14)

æ The Father sends the Holy Spirit. (John 14:26; Galatians 4:6)

æ The Father loves the Son and the Son loves the Father. (John 3:35; 5:20; 14:31)

æ The Father and Son glorify each other. (John 17:1,4,5)

æ The Holy Spirit glorifies the Son. (John 16:14).

 

Isaiah 63 seems to hint at the Trinity:

 

Yet they rebelled

    and grieved his Holy Spirit.

So he turned and became their enemy

    and he himself fought against them.

... Where is he who set

    his Holy Spirit among them,

who sent his glorious arm of power

    to be at Moses’ right hand,

who led them through the depths?

... they were given rest by the Spirit of the Lord.

This is how you guided your people

    to make for yourself a glorious name.

... Where are your zeal and your might?

    Your tenderness and compassion are withheld from us.

But you are our Father,

    though Abraham does not know us

    or Israel acknowledge us;

you, Lord, are our Father,

    our Redeemer from of old is your name.

         (Is. 63:10-16)


 

"The Churches One Foundation" references the Trinity.  Child Evangelism Fellowship has a great tune on the Trinity for kids.  Enjoy this lovely song on the Trinity based on a an Irish tune.  Even Hillsong chimes in as well with "This I Believe (The Creed)."  I wrote a pro-Trinity song, "Theology Matters" (~Metallica).

 

Kudos: the graphic with the long hair and flowers was adapted from the Italian artist Marco Melgrati.
