1 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | Emmaus | 94434 | ||
gbennett, A creed is nothing more than saying what you believe. Do you perceive being asked what you believe as a prelude to an attack? It is good to know where someone is coming from. Is that too much to ask? I am often a lone voice for the positions I take on this forum. That does not mean I want to attack you or anyone else, nor does everyone else attack me. But most of us here at least are open and clear about what perspective we are are coming from and where we stand in our major beliefs and what we hold as sources of authority. And most if not all here hold Scripture to authoritative and most, myself being an exception, hold it to be the sole authority. Most people are proud or at least willing to state what they believe is the truth and why. How about you? Emmaus |

2 | Sola Scriptura-A False teaching | 2 Tim 3:16 | gbennett76 | 94454 | ||
My Creed Part 1-Deity Deity Divine Nature God refers to a Divine Nature. Jesus refers to a divine person belonging to the divine nature. Nature and Personhood are two entirely different things. God has one nature and three persons. We are humans. We share what is referred to as human nature. Humanity has one nature with trillions of persons. All these persons are individuals and distinct yet are one in nature. I worship one God in trinity, and trinity in unity;For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son; another of the Holy Ghost.But the Godhead of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost is all one: the divinity equal, the majesty co-eternal.The Father-Elohim, Jesus-Jehovah and The Holy Ghost are three persons whom share the divine nature. They are distinct and individual without robbing the divinity of the others. Whatever, therefore, was the substance of the Word that I designate a Person, I claim for it the name of Son; and while I recognize the Son, I assert His distinction as second to the Father. The Nature of God requires some degree of belief in a Heavenly Mother, a Queen of Heaven, a Goddess. Ironic that mainstream Christianity uses the phrase "family of God" since it is a dysfunctional family with no females, daughters or spouses. Humans naturally resonate with and respond to both a God and a Goddess. God-the-Mother, wife of God-the-Father, was long ago removed from the Bible. But not quite. Traces of her worship remain in the Old Testament, and are recorded in other ancient writings. We now know she was equally worshipped and revered right alongside her consort Yahweh, Jehovah, El. She was the Mother Goddess, the Nurturer. In Hebrew texts she is referred to as the Shekinah, in the Old testament as Queen of Heaven and Wisdom(Sophia). Early Christian belief suggests that Mary Magdelene was a goddess follower and possible a priestess. Galilee was an area know for its great temples to the goddess. She is revered by her final incarnation Of Mary of Nazareth…. The Blessed Mother. |

Greetings Gbennet76! May I be blunt my friend? I now see why you reject the authority of Scripture, most of what you have posted in this series of posts is totally wrong according to Scripture. I also note that you do not appeal to any Scripture whatsoever to back up any of your 'creed'. So, let's start with the most obvious first questions. 1) Where does Scripture teach that there is a Heavenly Mother? 2) Where is Jesus declared to be 'second' to the Father?

Answers two your questions: 1)Where does Scripture teach that there is a Heavenly Mother? "The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger." (Jeremiah 7:18) "Thus saith the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying: Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows. Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them."Jeremiah 44: 25-27: Wisdom 8:2, 16, 18 tells us that Solomon was seen as married to Sophia. One of the many layers of symbolism attributed to the Song of Songs (also known as Song of Solomon or Canticle of Canticles) is that it speaks of Solomon's marriage to Holy Sophia. Wisdom 9:8-11 even tells us that Sophia instructed Solomon in building the Temple! The Jews revered Sophia. King Solomon even put Her right in the Temple, in the form of the Goddess Asherah. However, after the "reforms" of King Josiah, there was a threat that the veneration of Sophia would come to a halt - there was even more of a threat when patriarchal Christianity took over the world. Even still, thanks to Her continuing presence in the world and Her presence in the Bible, veneration of Sophia continued in the Eastern tradition with the construction of the Hagia Sophia and the Russian Catholic liturgical service to Sophia combined with the assumption of Mary on May 15. The Russian Orthodox Church has also begun a school of "Sophiology" to explore the thealogy of Sophia without contradicting the Russian Orthodox theology. 2)Where is Jesus declared to be 'second' to the Father? For example, the three members of the Godhead were separately manifested at the baptism of Jesus (Matt. 3:16-17) and at the stoning of Stephen (Acts 7:55-56). Peter and Stephen testify that they saw the Son of Man standing on the right hand of God. Any person that had seen the heavens opened knows that there are three personages in the heavens who hold the keys of power, and one presides over all. |

Greetings Gbennet76! Thanks for the response! 1) The 'queen of Heaven' is refering to a false god that the Israelites worshipped. They are in fact condemned for doing so (see. Jer. 44:23). How does this proof that there is an actual Mother goddess? 2) I do accept the Trinity as three distinct Persons within one Godhead, but you seem to be implying that one is 'essentially' superior to the rest. This can't be if they are all Three One God. While during the incarnation, Christ subjected Himself by becoming man, He was still God. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
