All I want is to seek Truth within Scripture, it is the FINAL authority we should live by. And if 1000's of years of Church history distorted God's word, from What Jesus taught and what the biblical authors wrote, then we have a duty to point that out, For souls lie in the balance on what we say.

The development of the doctrine of the Trinity in early Christian theology was indeed influenced by the intellectual environment of the time, which included Greek philosophical thought among other factors. It's important to recognize that the formulation of Christian doctrines, including the...

Is God Limited to Three Manifestations? Already discussed three prominent manifestations of God. Does this mean that God is limited to these three roles? Do the terms “Father,” “Son,” and “Holy Ghost” encompass all that God is? Despite the prominence these manifestations have in the New...

We cannot concentrate on the full deity of Jesus and ignore his full humanity. Jesus being fully God always possessed all power and authority within His divine (God the Father) nature but was limited to physical human body. But now that He is resurrected with a glorified body no longer...

I John 5:7 “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (I John 5:7). Although this verse of Scripture is often used by those who believe in three persons of God, it actually refutes this view, for it says that “these...

Only two verses of Scripture in the entire Bible mention Father, Son (or Word), and Holy Ghost in a way that could suggest three persons or a special significance of the number three in relation to the Godhead. They are Matthew 28:19 and I John 5:7. However, both of these passages present...

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost It is clear that the terms “Father,” “Son,” and “Holy Ghost” cannot imply three different persons, personalities, wills, or beings. They can only denote different aspects or roles of one Spirit-being—the one God. They describe God’s relationships to humanity, not...

The Mystery of Godliness The fact that God became flesh is one of the most wonderful and yet one of the most incomprehensible things about God. “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh” (I Timothy 3:16). Jesus is like no other person that ever...

Everyone quit posting, so I assume we agree. All I want is to seek Truth within Scripture, it is the FINAL authority we should live by. And if 1000's of years of Church history distorted God's word, from What Jesus taught and what the biblical authors wrote, then we have a duty to point that...

If anyone has a problem with what i'm stating, please point it out with scriptural backing. Don't just say heresy or I disagree, without explanation. I hope in light of Scripture and with humility and selflessness we approach our discussion in the hope and prayers that someone would come to the...

The Word John 1 beautifully teaches the concept of God manifest in flesh. In the beginning was the Word (Greek, Logos). The Word was not a separate person or a separate god any more than a man’s word is a separate person from him. Rather the Word was the thought, plan, or mind of God. The Word...

These believers in strict monotheism fall into two classes. One class asserts that there is only one God, but does so by denying, in one way or another, the full deity of Jesus Christ. This view was represented in early church history by the dynamic monarchians, such as Paul of Samosata, and by...

JESUS IS GOD “For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily” (Colossians 2:9). The fact that Jesus is God is as firmly established in Scripture as the fact that God is one. The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully God and fully human. The Old Testament Testifies That Jesus Is God...

CHRISTIAN MONOTHEISM “Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD” (Deuteronomy 6:4). “God is one” (Galatians 3:20). There is one God. There is only one God. This doctrine is central to the Bible message, for both the Old Testament and the New Testament teach it plainly and emphatically...

Tertullian (c. A.D. 150–225) was the first person recorded by history to use the words trinity (Latin: trinitas), substance (substantia), and person (persona) in relation to God. He was the first to speak of three persons in one substance (Latin: una substantia et tres personae). Tertullian...

Baptism with Water Baptism with water is symbolic of repentance and the washing away of sins. It represents a believer's decision to turn away from sin and to be cleansed spiritually. This act of baptism is an outward sign of an inward commitment to follow Jesus Christ. This is the form of...

Scripture says nothing about separate persons in God or a Trinity. If it does anywhere please show me.

We should consider the dual nature of Christ in the framework of biblical terminology. The term “Father” refers to God Himself—God in all His deity. When we speak of the eternal Spirit of God, we mean God Himself, the Father. “God the Father,” therefore, is a perfectly acceptable and biblical...

then tell me why or what you think. or prove my statements false don't just accuse without proof.
