THE GREATEST SIGN OF HERESY!!

gillespie9669 · Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2003 9:19 am Post subject: THE GREATEST SIGN OF HERESY!!

E.G. White,Signs of the Times, 6-27-1895, paragraph 3—

"The greatness of God [or divine nature] can not be measured or comprehended. And that doctrine that denies the absolute Godhead of Jesus, denies also the Godhead of the Father; for no man knoweth the Son but the Father."

THIS FORGOING STATEMENT IS A MONUMENTAL BENCHMARK WHICH HELPS US, AS ADVENTISTS, IN THE IDENTIFYING OF ALMOST ALL HERESIES OF THE CHRISTIAN FAITH!!! And those who would venture to conveniently quote (almost verbatim) the words of the above quoted inspired author to define the "Trio" of the Godhead, but deny the veracity of the foregoing statement, ARE HERETICS, hypocrites, and wolves in sheep clothing, trying to take away disciples unto themselves. He that hath an ear, let him hear!!!

I like that one, that was excellent.

It matches with Isaiah 44:6

6] Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel
and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:
"I am the first and I am the last;
besides me there is no god.

Psalm 2:

[2] The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and his anointed

John 1:1

1] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[2] He was in the beginning with God;
[3] all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made.
[4] In him was life, and the life was the light of men.
[5] The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
[6]

Revelation 22

3] There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him;

Conclusion

When the Holy Spirit is presented in John 14 as another comforter, the word Allos is used which means of the same category but distinct as opposed to the word heteros which means a totally different individual. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are so simular that he could say that he was going away and not leaving them as orphans but that he would return and be with them. It can be said according to the word Allos that the Holy Spirit is an Alter Ego of Jesus Christ and not another distinct individual as in heteros.

The only conclusion that can be reached is that the incarnation impacted the Godhead. The only human word that I can think of to describe what happened is the word division. A division in the nature of the Logos. It is clearly a mystery. We need to take into consideration that a Trio is certainly revealed in the New Testament but after the plan of salvation is completed we see a restoration of the oringinal duality which we find in Revelation 22:

] There shall no more be anything accursed, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and his servants shall worship him;
