DON’T CONDONE THE ARTICLES I POSTED AS MY BELIEF. I listed them as articles I plan on reading to compare what has been written concerning Trinitarian belief. I am not a One-ness Pentecostal.

Glad to hear it. As I said before, I will leave it to others with more time to tear down the fallacious interpretations presented in those papers. Let me give you instead 2 sufficient reasons for not attempting to glean any helpful instruction from them:

1) The concept of "simplicity". Although refutation of errant doctrines can require complex expression, and while eternity is not long enough to plumb the depths of truth, yet all essential revealed truth about God is able to be positively expressed in a few concise sentences, simple enough for a child to comprehend:

What is God? God is a spirit, and has not a body like men.
How many Gods are there? One.
In how many persons does this One God subsist? Three.
Who are they? The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

The Oneness articles are so complex that they could never be explaining biblical truth.

2) The 2nd commandment. The articles, in an attempt to simplify the complexity, resort to drawings presuming to illustrate the nature of the Godhead. If you believe Jesus as your ultimate authority, you will know that no image can communicate truth about God.

and I say you do not know enough to make that claim
I suppose that's just what I would tell you if you, and hosts of others, refused to listen when I told you that there are at this moment giant earthworms, hundreds of feet long, burrowing deep in the bedrock below all the major US cities! I hear them every night! Others hear them too! When they come to the surface, any day now, they will devour all in their path! Nothing will be left! Many are acting as though they don't exist, but they have all been duped! You can feel the ground shake at my house, and I know you can feel it at yours! We are all doomed!

Enough foolishness. I pray that your eyes will be opened to discern between that which is true and eternal, and that which is foolish and passing away. Until you are willing to listen to those wiser than yourself, further discourse seems unprofitable.


In Christ,
Paul S
