As a relatively new subscriber to your substack from the UK I have been greatly encouraged (and challenged) by your posts. Thank you.
After reading the Bible in a Year for two years running I came to the conclusion that there was no scriptural basis for the trinity, so it was refreshing to find someone else coming from the same viewpoint, as opposed to the vast majority of the contemporary church. But why haven't more Christians come to this conclusion?
Regarding this post, there are a number of substacks which talk about being "rapture ready" and getting very "excited" (if that's the right word) about current events in the US and the Middle East and developments in technology. Do you think the Bridegroom is coming soon and hence the tribulation? Are current events the ones referred to in Revelation or is trying to tie current events to scripture a distraction?
Sorry for so many questions. If you have already covered them in previous posts please refer me to them
I’ll try your second question. As I felt a calling to start writing and sharing the lessons I’ve learned, something changed at the beginning of 2025. I felt an urgency to "wake people up," like the sleeping brides who needed to trim their lamps. There is no longer time for complacency. If believers cannot submit their will and bury it under the Father’s will, they will not be strong enough for what is coming. The message I receive is that there is no rapture. If there is a rapture, all the better, but to plan for one and there isn’t one, then that will not end well for those individuals.
Thank you for your thoughtful comment. It’s truly encouraging to hear that my posts have both challenged and strengthened you. I deeply appreciate your journey in reading the Bible with an open heart, seeking truth for yourself.
Like you, I’ve found that many doctrines—such as the Trinity—do not hold up when examined solely through scripture. My goal is to ensure that everything I share comes from the Holy Spirit, not human tradition or personal opinion. It’s a continual process of refinement, but my commitment remains to be faithful to what God reveals.
For many, it’s difficult to see past 1800 years of doctrinal conditioning through creeds and traditions. This is largely because:
A) Most believers prefer spiritual “milk”—passively receiving teachings rather than actively seeking truth.
B) True discipleship comes at a cost—spending time in prayer, seeking scripture under the Holy Spirit’s guidance—something many are unwilling to do.
C) The constant repetition of mainstream beliefs and "Christianese" reinforces complacency and prevents deeper questioning.
I’ve shared before that any doctrine or theology that shifts focus away from the Father and hinders obedience to Him is a doctrine of demons. The Holy Spirit alone must be our teacher. Much of what I share comes from personal testimonies of the Spirit’s direct teaching in my life.
Believers must stop consuming teachings that the Holy Spirit has not first revealed to them. Why? Because most of what is taught today is simply regurgitated doctrine—handed down without question, rather than received through direct revelation.
There is so much I would like to say, but this post is long already. I won't forget about your other question(s), and see if I can make it shorter. thanks again.
