Dear Fellow Believers,

This is the final installment of ZenderTalks from 2002-2006. But don't worry! Rodney and I will continue to publish new material. Stay tuned for details.

If you thought the Trinity was thoroughly shot down last week, wait until you get a load of this week.

Absolute Deity cannot have a God. And yet Paul continually uses the phrase, “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ." If Jesus Christ has a God and a Father, then obviously He cannot BE the God and the Father. See? I make sense for a living, even on the weekends. (I say this fact is "obvious," but nothing is obvious to Christians who have consumed the Kool Aid of institutional thinking.)

Also, God does everything THROUGH Christ. This not only destroys the Trinity, but also the Tories, who claim that Jesus Christ did not exist until Bethlehem. How can God be doing everything through a Being Who does not exist? Don't ask that of a Tory—unless you have a few hours to spend listening to their wordy explanations which, in the end, will leave your head spinning. You may require Dramamine.  

Here is a fun question to ask Christians: Who was running the universe while Jesus Christ was dead? If the answer is “God,” then “God” can exist without Christ, and therefore the Trinity (or Modalism, another deception) is false. There are dozens of ways, in Scripture, to disprove the Trinity—and one need not destroy Christ's preexistence to do it.

I think Show 124 could be titled, An Impassioned Rebuttal and Destruction of the Trinity." Because, honestly, having not listened to this audio in nineteen years, I am delighted at the passion of the defense. It's like I was on my tenth cup of coffee as I recorded this audio back in 2006. I don't think this was the case, but this defense is at least metaphorically caffeinated. A subtitle could be, “Jesus Christ Did Not Exist For Three Days.” This is a shocking statement, as it puts the truth in as literal a way as possible.

Show 125 took me by surprise, because here I am declaring that ZenderTalk is finished—and why. Basically, "I have books to publish." The same situation presents itself today. However, I am more aware now than I was in 2006 that fewer and fewer people have the time or patience to read. The thing today is video. This is the best way to reach members of the body of Christ and the world-at-large. I didn't know this back in 2006. It may not have been the case almost 20 years ago. But it's certainly the case today. And so, under no circumstance—short of my death—would I stop making MZTV broadcasts.

Speaking of MZTV broadcasts, I love the video Rodney chose at the end. It's MZTV 1131 from January 20, 2023, titled, "Another Torpedo Pierces the Battleship of the Trinity,” and it emphasizes the faith of Christ. In this video I also share one of my most helpful analogies that will help you understand Christ's faith versus ours: It's like a train. Only one part of the train houses the power: the engine. Every other part of the train—the cars—are pulled by the engine. No car is self-propelled. They all depend on the engine to pull them along. Thus, us and Christ. Christ is the engine, the Head of the Body. He is part of the body, just as the engine is part of the train. But He is the driving force or, in the train analogy, the pulling force. We are also a part of the "train," but have no locomotion of our own. Christ's faith pulls the rest of us along.  

Thank you for helping me celebrate this anniversary week of the work, which began on October 1, 1993. Your comments on the quality of last week's MZTV videos were really encouraging. I will always give everything I've got to every video. I will never "coast" on you, or "mail it in." Each show takes out a piece of me, but, like muscle that is stressed by work, God rebuilds it stronger. I may be getting weaker, but God is getting stronger.

Thank you for your continued financial support of this work and its worker. I guess you could say that the worker is the work. Or maybe the work is the worker. In either case, I continue because of your generosity. So thank you again from the bottom of my heart, from the bottom of the Floridan peninsula.

Your brother in Christ and servant in the Lord,

—Martin
