"The Only Wise God"

"Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen." (Jude 24 & 25) If ever there was someone who had a heart against those that teach false doctrines, it was Jude. A small Book, but filled with boldness towards the truth. To your second piece of evidence, which I must admit, defiantly makes me wonder what you believe death means, and if you think that it means life stops; Do you? Let me see; the way you put it was: "Whilst in contrast, Jesus was dead." And then you listed Revelations 1:18 as your evidence to support your point. Let's examine this a little, shall we? Starting in verse 10, John speaks about being in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and then he hears a voice behind him, as a trumpet, saying, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia;". At which time John tuned to look upon Him which spake, and after turning and seeing what he saw, he fell at his feet as dead! The description of what he saw gives no justice to the majesty of what he actually saw, of that I am sure; there are some things that you just can't put into words. But, as John lay there as a dead man, Jesus laid His right hand upon him, saying, "Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am He that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and I have the keys to hell and death." The word 'hell' that Jesus is speaking of is 'hades', and is a place that held disembodied spirits of the unrighteous and righteous separated from the body at death up to the time of Christ's resurrection. If you really think that The Lord Jesus Christ laid dead in the tomb for three days, then you are greatly mistaken! Acts 2:27 shows us that Jesus was in hades upon His death, which is referred to as hell by the translator's of the K.J.V. of the Bible. Let me take this to another level, by saying that, although the man Jesus did die upon that cross, before His head could even complete dropping, upon His death, The Lord Jesus was in 'hades' giving comfort to the saints that were waiting for His arrival. "The Only Wise God" that Jude is referring to, is given that title because of experience! Much the same as Jesus uses the description of Who He Is and Was in Revelations 1:18; depicting His wisdom in death, as well as in His Resurrection from the dead, and even that of hell; to which He says, "I have the keys to hell and death". "O death, where is thy sting." Do you really know what that means???
