Question (full): Good post, Brad. This is a good explanation of both belief systems. I was once a member of a church that endorsed Oneness Pentecostalism, but now I have come to see the heresy in it, and at the same time I still see the heresy of Trinitarian doctrine. I now see things from a Jewish perspective (One Devine Being with two attributes: the Father, the Word and the Breath). I see B'rit Chadasha (NT) as a continuation of TaNaKh (OT), which means I still hold the view that Yahweh is still unseen, and there is none beside him that we are to worship; we worship only the Father. It's still not according to orthodox teachings that the churches hold to, but orthodoxy according to men's judgment has never meant much to me, to be quite frank. Love in Yahweh, Eliyahu |
