Googles, I suggest you also read the Bible and heed God's advise concerning correcting with gentleness. Now, although I do not agree with Donny's theology I do agree with his position on the Trinity. The Bible is clear there is but one true God the Father that exists and always has existed as one and only one. The Trinity is an invention of men that started with Justin Martyr's binitarian concept of God in the early 2nd century and was fully defined by Origen in the late 3rd century and adopted as a central tenet of Christianity at the First Council of Nicaea in
325 AD.
As to your 2nd John 1:9 quote where is the Holy Spirit the third member of your Godhead?
So lets cut to the chase and see if you can rationalize Paul's emphatic statement concerning there is but one God the Father in 1 Corinthians 8:6.
1 st Corinthians 8:5-6
5 For even if there are so-called gods whether in heaven or on earth, as indeed there are many gods and many lords, 6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things, and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. NAS
Or, since I discern you are a KJV onlyist:
1st Corinthians 8:5-6
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him. KJV
This one verse defeats both the Trinity and Donny's Jesus only oneness theology since the Father is the only God and Jesus is a distinct entity who as Peter and Paul wrote is a man who God highly exalted.
Acts 2:22-24
22 Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know:
23 Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain:
24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
KJV
Acts 2:32-33
32 This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.
33 Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear.
KJV
Acts 5:31
31 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to Israel, and forgiveness of sins.
KJV
1 st Timothy 2:5-6
5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
KJV
The first people to refer to Jesus as God the Son were Greeks, not Jews. The first people to refer to God's spirit as God the Spirit were Greeks, not Jews. The Jews were strict monotheists who would have considered the Trinity heresy and that includes Peter, Paul, John, James, and Jude.
Deuteronomy 6:4-5
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. KJV
Jeremiah 3:19
19 But I said, How shall I put thee among the children, and give thee a pleasant land, a goodly heritage of the hosts of nations? and I said, Thou shalt call me, My father; and shalt not turn away from me.
KJV
Now, without trying to interpret some NT Scriptures to show that Jesus is God explain these emphatic statement that tell us there is only one God the Father. You can also try to rationalize Jesus own words away but again without trying to avoid the question explain why Jesus refers to the Father as the only true God.
John 17:3
3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. KJV
You appealed to 2nd John 1:9 and I appeal to the Lord's own words that tell me that those who deny the Father is the only true God don't know God and since they don't know God they also don't know Jesus Christ, "whom thou has sent".
Before you post your reply I am going to warn you to review and adhere to our Forum Rules since every KJV onlyist who has registered here has, with gross arrogance ignored our rules and resorted to abusive attacks against other members. I have seen this same attitude and behavior on every Christian message board I have visited and this attitude and behavior is not tolerated on Jesus Christ Forums.
