Hi 3AngelsMom, I can’t label myself a non-Trinitarian because every non-Trinitarian I know of either denies the Divinity of Jesus or the Personhood of the Third Person of the Godhead, or both. I accept both. Likewise, I shouldn’t label myself a Trinitarian because every Trinitarian I know insists on describing God in a language that I believe is decidedly misleading and unbiblical. How would you classify the theological position of my web page: www.everythingimportant.org/Godhead?

I went over your site, and from what I can tell, to be honest with you, you want to have your cake and eat it to! Not in a bad way though! I have the same problem. What do we call ourselves? We believe that God is the One True God, and that He is the Most High God, but that Jesus, by merit of His inheritance from God, is also deity. But we don't have TWO Gods! You don't appear to be trinitarian, but you aren't Arian for sure. I have been told I am semi-Arian. We don't believe the trinity, but we do believe in the diety of Christ. God Bless, Kelly _________________ Why do we always laugh at things that aren't funny?

Kelly, Jesus didn’t inherit His deity.

What I believe, and I am COMPLETELY NON TRINITARIAN, is that the life that is in Christ is from God. Therefore, by merit of His literal Sonship by the Father, and I don't mean with Mary, He is diety because He is the SON of God. He is not 'a god', nor is He the ONE True God. He is diety, by merit of inheritance through His Father. Just as a Prince one day becomes a King, so did He. God Bless, Kelly _________________ Why do we always laugh at things that aren't funny?

Kelly, Jesus acknowledged the Father as the source of his life: Quote: Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. John 6:57. How do you know that this life dependence isn’t atonement related? Didn’t Jesus speak the words “I live” in the present tense? If your belief is Biblical, you then need a Scripture reference that teaches that Jesus inherited His deity before the incarnation. If there are references, please cite the ones that you believe are the clearest and most undeniable.
