1 | JOE THROWS ONENESS INTO HERESY | Bible general Archive 1 | Morant61 | 4747 | ||
Greetings RevC: I have been following your dialogue about the Oneness belief. Most everything you say about Jesus, a trinitarian would accept as well. The only point of contention is whether or not there are three distince Persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in the Godhead (the Trinity) or whether these three terms all refer to one Person (Jesus Only). With this in mind, I would like to address question # 4 in your list. Look at Luke 22:42! Jesus is in the garden preparing to face His death. As the incarnate Son, He prays to His Father, "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." My answer to your question # 4 is that the three terms definitetly refer to three distint Persons, not simply three offices or modes. In this prayer, Jesus is praying to someone else - His Father. He asks for one thing (the cup to be taken from Him), but yields to the will of His Father instead. If there are not three Persons in the Godhead, how do you explain this verse? Was Jesus praying to Himself? If there are not three Persons in the Godhead, how could Jesus yield to someone else's will? He clearly states His will, but chooses to comply with His Father's will instead. The simplest and most logical explanation of this verse is an interaction between two members of the Godhead, each unique and distinct from the other. I look forward to your reply! Tim Moran |
