    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    I think you know the answers to the questions and you only ask to amuse yourself. What do you think Jesus meant when he said I am in the Father, and the Father is in me? And, if the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Christ and the Spirit of the Father, what does that mean? It means they mutually...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    You are not a Greek scholar therefore you are incapable of determining whether the translators rendered the Scripture accordingly. As I have said, the first verse calls the Holy Spirit a parakletos (Helper, Comforter, Advocate) which are roles that Persons assume, not things. And, in 1 John...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    I find it hard to believe that you aren't knowingly making false claims. For instance, in this case Parakletos (comforter, advocate) is used of the Holy Spirit, and in 1 John 2:1, it is used in reference to Jesus. Therefore your claim that it is not used in regards to a person in John 15:26...

    That's a relatively small influence upon the text, and the meanings that cults attempt to import are major deviations.

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    Quit using the word "separate" rather than "distinct". This is strawman language. Additionally, your claim is not true concerning original languages. The vast majority of original language scholars disagree and that is why there is no widespread argument with Trinitarianism other than by...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    I'll let the readers judge. By the way you are interjecting a word in your reply that is not what knowledgeable Christians use, and that is "separate". I have told you guys fifty times that the three Persons of the Triune God are distinct, not separate. They share the same essence. Yet you...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    By the way, why don't you guys answer these responses to the claims that Oneness Pentecostals make concerning the persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit? VI. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit Are Each Someone Distinct from the Other Two (i.e., they are three “persons”) A. Matt. 28:19 1...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    Ok..so in other words, you disagree with their translation. What credentials do you have that you can appeal to, that qualifies you to make such a determination? Additionally, the semantic domain that you have defined above does not reflect the extensive semantic domain that other dictionaries...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    Instead maybe you mean something else by "add on". it's hard to say. If you mean you don't agree with the sound doctrinal position of the translators, and you think "pros" should have been translated as something else, my response would be to ask you why you think your translation is superior...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    The claim you made earlier was that the word "with" is not present in the Greek, and is in italics in the KJV because it was added to the text by translators. This is not true. The Greek word πρὸς pros (transliteration) is in the Greek text, and the translators translated it as "with". When...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    The Triune God is co-essential, meaning that the three Persons share the same essence. They mutually indwell one another. This essence is spirit. Therefore, there is only one spirit. Jesus has a dual nature, being both glorified man and Yahweh. This is why the person can be indwelt by the...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    Like I have said, I don't need to provide you with historical refutations since your position is that of a cult, and I have provided Scriptural support for the Trinity. The distorted or false version of the history of Trinitarianism that you present as a Oneness Pentecostal doesn't need to be...

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    These are nonsense questions. The Triune God is coessential. This means that the three Persons share the same essence, which is spirit. So, no, they don't have three separate spirits. This would be tri-theism. I believe it could be referred to as Semi-Arianism as well.

    Does Oneness theology (Modalism) teach a "sock puppet" view of God's nature?

    Do you understand what the word "coessential" means? It means to share the same essence. There is only one divine essence, which is spirit. So, no, there are not three separate spirits.

    I've given a defense of the Christian position. You won't like it, for sure, but it is a solid defense for the Trinity doctrine.

    Three Gods or one? Explain the Trinity.

    Fine with me. My signature doesn't reflect racism though. Black Lives Matter is a cultural Marxist group that supports anti-Christian values. All you have to do is look at their website to determine this. But it might be easier to just pull the race card.
