1 | Trinity or Oneness? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 225389 | ||
Hello whereisthruebalance, Welcome to the Forum. The Trinity is an essential doctrine of Christian Orthodoxy founded in scripture, while Oneness is a Trinitarian heresy. The doctrine of the Trinity deals with and describes the nature of God and asserts the following: There is one and only one God. God eternally exists in three distinct persons. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. The Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, the Father is not the Spirit, etc. [Theopedia.com] Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

2 | Trinity or Oneness? | Bible general Archive 4 | fellowlaborer | 225391 | ||
Great answer BradK in describing the Trinity and thanks for the additional tidbit about Trinitarian, I will do further research on that. I have been blessed with the opportunity to teach Bible Study for the months November and December; and we are in the book of ACTS. And, that is one item I tried to make clear. What I found is in the KJV 1 John 5:7 shows the "Trinity"; however, in many other versions it looks like that verse was omitted. Have you noticed? Blessings Fellowlaborer |

3 | Trinity or Oneness? | Bible general Archive 4 | BradK | 225392 | ||
Hello fellowlaborer, Thank you for the kind words. Yes, I have noted what you pointed out:-) Actually, the KJV reads, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." By comparison, the NASB reads, "For there are three that testify" Most Bibles have a footnote to this verse due to lack of supporting manuscript evidence. As the late Dr. Weust noted, "There is general agreement among textual critics that the contents of this verse are spurious, and do not belong to the original text. “The fact and the doctrine of the Trinity do not depend upon this spurious addition” (Robertson)." Merry CHRISTmas, BradK |
