If you believe that God created the heavens and the earth or that Jonah was swallowed by a whale then you have to believe the bible when it says: Colossians 2:9 "For in Him (Jesus Christ) dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily. Furthermore, when mary was found with child who's child was she found with? Matthew 1:18 she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. You can't keep it straight first you say three then you say one which is it make up your mind. 1 Tim 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. Here the Scriptures says that God was received up into Glory, not the second person in the godhead, but God Himself! John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. When Jesus declared this statement, He made Himself God! 1 Timothy 2:5-6 For there is one God, and (once again AND in GREEK is also translated EVEN) one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; who gave himself a ransom for all..." Anyways, Jesus is God. You can give all the scriptures that you think you have, and I can tell you exactly what they are. Jesus proclaimed himself God when he forgave sins. AND FOR THE LAST TIME the Trinity of the Godhead was considered heresy until the council of Nicaea in 325 AD and The council of Constantanople in 381 AD. At which point the apostle's teachings and the old testament teachings of one God were said to be wrong. And you keep saying this is Orthodox. Have you ever talked to a greek orthodox believer? I have had the pleasure of being aquainted with a greek orthodox believer. And upon talking to him he said something very intersting. He is from Greece originally and has been all over Europe and I had asked him about Michael Angelo and the paintings that he has done (he's also a painter btw) and he got angry and said "NO Michael angelo painted God as three persons on 1, that is not what the bible says." Upon delving into the word in original Greek you find a deeper richer meaning. Which BTW most Greek Orthodox believers believe also in "Glossalalia" or speaking in tongues as we call it. |

My friend I have a Greek Orthodox Bishop as a very close and personal friend and let me assure you he does hold to the Trinity. Your statement that the Trinity of the Godhead was held by the church as heresy before the council of Nicaea is patently false. The council of Nicaea was instituted to deal with the false teaching against the Trinity. The New Testament testifies of it's existence, the personal writings of the Apostles and early church leaders show they were in agreement with the doctrine and later writings of the men that studied directly under the Apostles show the Apostles held to the doctrine of the Trinity. The existence of which is not easly understandable to man but clearly seen in Matthew 3:16 and 17. Your a Oneness Pentecostal I believe and that is their belief, I understand it but I have to say it is also very wrong. EdB |
