Prophet Elmore Richmond Jr.
Praise God in the Name of Jesus! God is great! Christians, Jews, and Muslims do they worship the same GOD? The answer is yes. The Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same GOD? However there are problems with doctrines and a failure to understand the current covenant that God made with His people. Moreover, there are many worshiping God in-vain because they are teaching for doctrine the commandments of men. (Mark 7:7) Satan has been quite effective in effecting his plan to flatter, confuse, and destroy God’s people. After carefully studying the Qur’an, the bottom-line message of the Qur’an is: If you truly feared Allah; you would follow the Gospel of Christ.
Listen carefully; Surah 5:15 says, “O people of the Book! There hath come to you Our Messenger, revealing to you much that ye use to hide in the Book, And passing over much (that in now unnecessary.) there hath come to you from Allah a (new) light and a perspicuous Book – (16) Wherewith Allah guideth all who seek His good pleasure to ways of peace and safety, and leadeth them out of darkness, by His will, unto the light – guideth them to a Path that is Straight.
At Surah 5:46, Prophet Muhammad writes: “And in their footsteps we sent Jesus the son of Mary confirming the Law that come Before him. We sent the Gospel: therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him a guidance and an admonition to those who fear Allah.” Here you can see the admonishment given to the ones who fear Allah to follow the Gospel of Christ.
Moreover, many have been deceived and most Christians, Jews, and Muslims fail to understand the mystery of God’s will to include the knowledge of the Son of God to a perfect man and the measure of the full stature of Jesus Christ. One of the problems is that in Christianity there are errors in some of the churches’ doctrine that have created more than 41,000 denominations. Daniel chapter seven and Revelation chapter thirteen explains how the beast would prevail against the saints of God. This has already occurred. The saints of God were in the hands of the beast for an ancient of days, a time and times and a dividing of time, 42 months – which equal to 1260 years. According to Ezekiel 4:6 one day equals one year. According to scriptures, Satan was able to corrupt the covenant with flatteries; many saints are still cleaving to the flatteries today. Consequently, some of the affects today still impact the Church. The Nicene Creed, the statement of faith, that clearly defined the Doctrine of the Trinity is not supported by scriptures, however it is the result of flatteries that Daniel prophesized about in Daniel 11:32.
Surely, the Jews did not accept the teaching of the Holy Trinity: “God the Father,” “God the Son,” and “God the Holy Spirit” because they knew that there is only one God. Most importantly, God did not accept this. Jesus said at John 14:10, “Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? The words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.” At John 14:29 Jesus said: “I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.” At John 12:44-45 Jesus cried and said, “He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.” At John 6:62-63 Jesus said, “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. 1 John 5:7 says, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” John 5:26 says, “For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself.” At John 16:28 Jesus says, “I come forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
At Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever, I have commanded you, and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” Amen. In order to get the full revelation it is imperative to read 1 Corinthians 15:25-28 – “For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet, but when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him, that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” When carefully examining all scriptures you will find that God is always the Father, thus you cannot separate this oneness and say God the Son, the scriptures will not support it.
It is recorded at the Council of Nicaea some of the bishops that were present actually put ear plugs in their ears, thus they did not want to listen to things that did not fit established understanding. If you have put on ear plugs today and you would like to worship God in Spirit and in Truth, now is the time to unplug your ears. The bishops at the Council of Nicaea erred. Isaiah 28:9-10 gives the formula for studying the word of God – use any other method and you will err. (9) “Whom shall he teach knowledge? And whom shall he make to understand doctrine? them that are weaned from the milk, and drawn from the breasts. (10) For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line; line upon line; here a little, and there a little.”
It is unfortunate that many of these bishops failed to understand doctrine because they relied on their thinking through theological debates. For theology to have true value it must be rooted and grounded in the Word of God and this can only be done through the power of the Holy Spirit to lead you in all truth. Without the understanding of mystery of God’s will as described in Ephesians 1:9-10, you can continue to engage in theological debates and never come to the knowledge of the this Truth. “(9) Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself: (10) That in the dispensation of the fullness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”
When we look back and see what happened before the Council of Nicaea from Emperor Neo in 64 A. D. until 325 A. D. you are able to see the persecution of Christians. Emperor Constantine attempted to unify the Church, however his attempt failed. Satan used him to bring even more division to the body of Christ and to affirm false doctrines. Some sources report from the time of Augustin of Hippo, until 1586, on the Roman martyrdom, “the Roman Catholic church put sixty-eight million Protestants to death. Although today the killing has subside the Church is still faced with some of the same problems, some of the same debates are being held today and there are many Christians with ear plugs in their ears. Some teach that if you baptize in the name of Jesus you a Pseudo-Christian they say the baptism is invalid because you were not baptized using the phrase: “In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.” Surely, we have work to do – today the ones who are executing the command that Jesus gave at Matthew 28:18-20 are being called by some Pseudo-Christians.
Some people think that God does not have prophets today. However, I know this is in error because I am one of God’s prophets. But, in early 600 A.D., the Prophet Muhammad accepted his call from God – it is recorded that the first message he preached was: “There is but one God and He will judge all men.” The Prophet Muhammad wrote the Holy Qur’an. At Surah 4:171 of the Qur’an, God commanded the Prophet Muhammad to warn Christians about the doctrine of the Trinity. Here is a quote “O people of the Book! Commit no excesses in your religion: nor say of God aught but the truth. Christ Jesus the son of Mary was a Messenger of God, and His Word, Which he bestowed on Mary, and a Spirit proceeding from Him: so believe in God and His Messengers. Say not “Trinity”? Desist.” God has given me the same message about the Trinity – this doctrine is in error. Please note – God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad that Jesus was the “Word of God.”
Although, the full revelation may not have been revealed to the Prophet Muhammad the significance of the saying, Jesus was the “Word of God” it is important to know that he recorded this revelation. Some say that the Prophet Muhammad was a false prophet; I caution you – do not call any prophet a false prophet until you hear what he/she has to say or read the revelations that they say God has given him/her. I have read the Qur’an; I realize that I would have never known what he had written if I did not read it. Moreover, since Christians are called to take the glorious gospel to all nations, it is important to understand the glorious gospel and what those nations believe.
I have read and studied the Qur’an; I was surprised to discover the admonishments that were given to the Muslims, Christians and Jews. When Prophet Muhammad was on the scene in early 600 A. D., many Saints of God were in the hands of the beast. Many Christians do not realize that the prophecy of Daniel 7:21 and Revelation13:7 have already happened. The beast prevailed against the saints of God and these saints of God were in the hand of the beast for 1260 years. This happened because these saints of God failed to adhere to Jesus’ warning about the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. These saints of God were overcome because they had accepted false doctrine. I would like to break this down in very simple language. In John chapter 11, after Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead some of the people that observed this went their way and told the Pharisees. At John 11:47-48 it records how they took counsel and expressed their concern about stopping Jesus because they were concerned if they did not stop him, all would believe on him and then the Roman would come and take their nation. It is very important to understand why the Pharisees did not want anything done in the name of Jesus – they were fearful of the Romans. It was all about the name of “JESUS.”
Surely, the Romans did eventually come and take their place and nation. However, Christians kept using the name of Jesus and the Christian community and Christianity continued to grow even though they were being prosecuted by the Romans, even in Rome. However, in 325A.D., the bishops at the Council of Nicaea approved the formula “In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost” as the official method to baptize, thus this made baptizing in the name of Jesus invalid in the minds of the leadership of the Church. This is the advent of accepting another doctrine –the doctrine is called the Trinity. Up until this point in history of the Church, men had debated over the years regarding the deity of Christ – the relationship of Jesus and the Father. They did not only debated, however there were people who professed to be Christians killing other people who professed to be Christians. Many attempt to justify the Trinity with rationales and slants of many over the years; however the underlining purpose of the Trinity is not to call on the name of Jesus when baptizing. The chief concern was about the name, at John 16:24 Jesus said: “Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” Surely, this is new doctrine for Rome and the world because there has been nothing done in the name of Jesus.
They failed to understand that God made a glorious name for Himself, and Jesus came in his Father’s name, Jesus was tasked to declare the new name for the Father as “Jesus” (John chapter 17) – The Father glorified the name for Both – the Father and the Son (John 12:28) Then the Holy Spirit glorified Jesus. (John 16:13-14) The name is from everlasting until it was declared in the midst of the people of God and Jesus was glorified. Today, there are many that teach and still do not understand this truth. Many Christians do not realize that some versions of the Holy Bible has been changed to the extent that the Word of God has been undermined to the point it will not line up precept upon precept. It is very important to understand how Satan is using the educated to effect his plan. Satan knows if he can change the source documents, he would be more effective in spoiling the people of God. Satan knows that the Holy Spirit is the “Strong Man” in the House of God – Satan also knows that he cannot bind the Holy Spirit; however we can by our doctrines and practices. Consequently, some of the educated have changed the Holy Bible, in some instances it has undermined the integrity of the Word of God and you cannot line it up precept upon precept, precept upon precept, line upon line, line upon line and here a little and there a little.
Here is a teachable moment; let us take advantage of it. To that end you need a copy of the King James’ version of the Bible and a copy of the NIV. Go to John 12:28 – you will see the word “both” in the King James’ version, however in the NIV the word “both” has been removed and the paragraph has been rewritten. It is apparent that the author of the NIV did not understand that the name was glorified for both the Father and the Son and the name Jesus would be glorified again. Here are the supporting scriptures. At John 12:23, Jesus says, “The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. At John 12:28, Jesus said; “Father, glorify thy name.” Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again.” In John 13:31-32 Jesus said; “Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him. If God be glorified in him, God shall also glorify him in himself, and shall straightway glorify him.” At John 16:13-14 Jesus says: “Howbeit when he the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.”
One of the tasks given to Prophet Muhammad was to protect the Gospel of Christ. Now listen! Before you read these admonishments that were written by Prophet Muhammad, first I pray that you be at peace in the name of Jesus, because some of you who are reading this text are offended at the thought of being admonished by Prophet Muhammad. Listen carefully, these admonishments are not from Prophet Muhammad, they are from God. At the time of Prophet Muhammad, these Saints of God were in the hands of the beast and were using false doctrine. Now read!
Surah 2:113 it reads, “The Jews says: “The Christians have naught (to stand) upon”; and the Christians say: “The Jews have naught (To stand) upon.” Yet they (Profess to) study the (same) Book. Like unto their word is what those say you know not: but Allah (God) will judge between them in their quarrel on the day of Judgment.”
Surah 2:135 says, “They say: “Become Jews or Christians if ye would be guided (To salvation),” Say thou: “Nay! (I would rather) the Religion of Abraham, The True, and be joined not gods with Allah.” (136) Say ye: We believe in Allah, and the revelations given to us, and to Abraham, Ismail, Isaac, Jacob, and the Tribes, and that given to Moses and Jesus, and that given to (all) Prophets from their Lord: We make no difference between one and another of them: and we bow to Allah (in Islam). (137) So if they believe as ye believe, they are indeed on the right path, but if they turn back, it is they who are in schism; but Allah will suffice thee as against them and He is the All-Hearing and the All-knowing.”
The Prophet Muhammad’s assignment was to honor the gospel of Christ and to protect. Surah 5:46 says, “And in the their footsteps We sent Jesus the son of Mary, confirming the Law that had come before him: We sent him the Gospel; therein was guidance and light, and confirmation of the Law that had come before him: a guidance and an admonition to those who fail to judge by the (the light of) What God hath revealed, they are (no better than) those who rebel.” (48) To them We sent the scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety; so judge between them by what God hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribe a Law and an Open Way. If God had so willed, He would have made you a single People, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you; so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to God, It is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute. Listen carefully surely this is God speaking to His people. An “Open Way:” this is a door, Jesus Christ is this Door.
Nevertheless, since Prophet Muhammad there was a reformation of the Church – the true Saints of God are no longer in the hands of the beast and some now follow the glorious Gospel of Christ. However, there are some who profess to be Christians who still hold onto the false teachings; consequently, there are still battles within the Christian community. Moreover, Christianity is still divided into sects. According to some sources there are more than 41,000 Christian denominations world-wide. There are far too many winds of doctrine; For God wants us to be one. In addition to taking the glorious Gospel to the Muslims, according to scripture the Jews will suck the breasts of the Gentiles. Surely, this is a spiritual battle.
If you are a Christian, up to now many of you have never read this teaching of Prophet Muhammad and many of you still do not know when the Saints of God in the name of Jesus were in the hands of the beast. Moreover, the true Muslims do not realize that at the time of Prophet Muhammad many of the Saints of God were in the hands of the beast; consequently some of the teachings of the Christians were in error and Prophet Muhammad recognized the false teaching. For example some were teaching that Mary was the mother of God – Surely this is false teaching. The phrase “mother of God” originated with and continues to be used in the Roman Catholic Church. Records show at the Council of Ephesus in AD 431 the use of the Greek term Theotókos, or “God-bearer,” in reference to Mary. The Council of Ephesus officially proclaimed Mary as the “mother of God.”
This false teaching is later included in the Catholic catechism. Surely Mary was the mother of Jesus’ fleshly body; however Jesus had a spiritual body. At Matthew 12:48, Jesus posed the question: “Who is my mother?” At Matthew 12:50 Jesus said, “For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.” Here we can see clearly there is no foundation for the teaching that Mary was the Mother of God. In John chapter 6, Jesus told his disciples that they had to eat his flesh and drink his blood. John 6:62-66 clearly explains that Mary was not the mother of God. Jesus said, “What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.” I have a very special teaching to share – watch this video and you will learn that the Word of God is the Seven Spirits of God.
Christians have been given power and Jesus has given Christians the same glory that He had when he walked this earth. The world must see this power to understand that we belong to Christ, His body – and we have the power of the living God within us. Christians must understand that we have a habitation with God through the Spirit. We have failed to demonstrate this power. We are charged to preach the glorious gospel of Christ throughout the world. This includes the Muslims; however there are some people who profess to be Muslims who are killing Christians. Surely, now this task is difficult – praise God for the Holy Spirit who leads us unto all truth. We must understand that these people who are killing Christians are not Muslims – people who fear Allah. They are people who do not understand the Holy Qur’an and have perverted the doctrine. At John 16:2, Jesus says, “They shall put you out of the synagogues, yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.” This is a reality today.
The problem is even compounded because many think that the United States of America is a Christian Nation, however American leadership is not within the counsel of God and many of the current policies of the nation have nothing to do with Christianity. Most of these people being killed in the Middle East profess to be Muslims. Therefore, some view the affects of the wars as Christians killing and controlling Muslims. Now there are some who profess to be Islamic, killing Christians. Consequently, there are some who want to use our military might and declare war on “Radical Islam.”
What is “Radical Islam”? The truth is “Islam” is not radical. Like there are people who profess to be Christians, yet their actions clearly show that they do not know Christ because they do not keep His commandments. Moreover, there are some people who profess to follow the teachings of Islam; however it is clear that they do not understand doctrine because they do not follow the teaching of the Holy Qur’an. Of course there is another problem – The Muslims who follow the teaching of Prophet Muhammad do not understand that if they fear Allah they would follow Gospel of Christ. Here is another admonishment that Prophet Muhammad shared. It is imperative the true followers of the Qur’an understand and adhere to this admonishment that God sent us through Prophet Muhammad.
Prophet Muhammad warned Muslims at Surah IX, 107-110 regarding some mosques are built to deceive. Prophet Muhammad writes, “And there are those who put up a mosque by the way of mischief and infidelity – to disunite the Believers – And in preparation for one Who warred against God and His Apostle aforetime. They will indeed swear that their intention is nothing but good; but God declare that they are certainly liars….”
God has given us solutions. We must do more than recite 2 Chronicles 7:14; we must effect it. The Christian community has work to do. However, there is a spirit of deep sleep that has been poured out and many are still asleep. The Church has a responsibility to take the glorious gospel of Christ to all nations to include the Muslims and the Jews. On the other hand, first we must address the divide within the Church. Therefore, Christians have a major role to play – the government cannot do it. However, it is imperative that we understand Truth and demonstrate the power of the Living God and give God the glory in the name of Jesus. Christians have been given the same glory that Jesus had when he walked this earth so that the Jews, the Muslims and the world will see that we have an habitation with God in the Spirit. Listen carefully; if you have the love for truth - God will direct your path.
When I first accepted my calling in the ministry of the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the title of my very first sermon was “A Check Up For the Body of Christ.” Only God could have given me this message as my first sermon. Now I realize that it was more than a sermon – for this is the very work that has put at my hands. The check-up is being conducted today. Brothers and Sisters in Christ, we have work to do. We must do our part to defeat ISIS by sharing truth in love – we must allow God in the name of Jesus to use our bodies as the power of the living God within us does the work. We must really seek the face of God and elect leaders who truly fear God in the name of JESUS. We must feed both the Muslims and the Jews the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ as we take the true Gospel of Christ throughout the world. We must work together to that end. For it is written that the Bride made herself ready.
It is recorded that the Bride will make herself ready. God has given me a work to help facilitate this resolve. The title of the book is: “Edifying the Body of Christ: Unbinding the Strong Man.” This work is designed to empower Christians so we can work together more effectively, coming together in the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God to a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ. In order to take the Gospel of Christ to the Jews and Muslims, we must address some traditions, doctrines, and practices that many Christians are holding onto that are designed to bind the Holy Spirit and to create the divide within the Church.
Surely God so loved the world, His love includes people throughout the world, people in every nation. God said, “Thou shall not kill.” God has richly blessed mankind; we are made in His image and for His pleasure. I pray in the name of Jesus that you will adhere to this counsel and pass it on.

Christians must become even more empowered as we work together to end terrorism, heal the land, and make the Bride of Christ ready.
I pray in the name of Jesus that you will adhere to this counsel from the Lord in the name of Jesus.
