351: Holy Spirit: Anti-Trinitarians make God a master ventriloquist ...
We deny not that God has an active force of energy like electricity to get things done. We question, however, why God would go to so much trouble to personify his own inherent power to the extent that it has emotions, thoughts and speech INDEPENDANT of Himself. Now we know that Arians would argue that the Holy Spirit never acts independently of the Father, since they are really one and the same thing, but this begs the question. The problem for Arians is to explain why God chose to invent the entire ... If the Holy Spirit is not a person this makes the Holy Spirit nothing more than a tape recorder that replays what is said. There are places where the Father and Jesus speak directly to men. Why confuse the simple matter with the Holy Spirit? The same thing in Heb 10:15f. Why would God say the Holy Spirit said this, if the thought really originated with the Father? Again the Holy Spirit is clearly portrayed as a person who speaks, makes choices, witnesses and teaches us. Why would God ... ...

353: 11 Patterns of submission & headship in the Bible
For women to refuse to submit to their husbands becomes quite illogical, unless they rebel in all 11 categories.

We believe that He was crucified, shed His blood, died to pay the penalty for our sins and was raised bodily from the dead on the third day. Forty days later He ascended to the Father's right hand where He is Head of the Church and intercedes for believers. From there He is coming again personally, bodily and visibly to this earth to set up His millennial kingdom.

The fact is that we would not know about this oral tradition unless it was recorded by Luke in Acts. Although Jesus words were inspired and Paul got the saying directly from the Holy Spirit. Inspiration means that the prophecy did not come by an act of human will. 2 Pet 1:20-21. We are offended that anyone would suggest the authors of the Bible rely upon human records and not the Holy Spirit. We challenge the Roman Catholic and Orthodox churches to give us a list of "oral saying" of Jesus that are not found in scripture. We want the average Orthodox and Catholic church member to note that their churches never supply such lists of statements because none exist except for what scripture records. However, this may have been spoken to Paul directly by Jesus after he was converted in Acts 9. In other words, Paul may in fact be the only one this was said to, after Jesus had ascended as we see in 2 Cor 12:9.

He divested Himself of this power and His majesty, and became a human being to die for the sins of all mankind as our loving and merciful Savior.

373: mormon church
Misinterpreting Jn 16:13 as help us interpret the Bible, rather than how we got Bible. God never uses feelings to confirm truth! Faith comes by reading Bible: Rom 10:17 C. Mormons are held in their faith, not by objective scripture, but by internal feelings that they have confused for confirmation of the Holy Spirit that Mormonism is truth. Faith in B of M "hooks" & holds" them to the church regardless of the Bible's teaching. The Bible nowhere makes a similar promise of itself. Jas 1:5 does not teach this! This passage is addressed to brethren who are saved, not ... Evidence of criminal/immoral character of Joseph Smith.

374: What Must I Do To Be Saved ?
The change in a person's life resulting in his becoming a Christian is called in the Bible, conversion, and the Bible teaches that conversion is necessary for a person to be saved. Christ likened this change to a birth and taught Nicodemus, "Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit he cannot enter into the kingdom of God" (John 3:5). Of the 27 books ... The Bible says, "Now when they heard this, they were pricked in the heart and said unto Peter, 'Men and brethren what shall we do?' Then Peter said unto them, repent and be baptized everyone of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost" (Acts 2: 36-38). Third, this change in a person's heart must lead to certain actions before conversion is complete. One of these actions is confession that Jesus is the Christ, for we read, "With the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom. 10: 9,10). Finally, a person ... ...

378: The Error of the Catholic Nicene Trinity
... Without an explicit formula the NT leaves no room to think that Jesus is Himself an object of the adoption which He communicates to others. He knows the Father and reveals Him. He therefore belongs to the divine level of being; and there is no question at all about the Spirit belonging to the divine level of being. What is less clear about the Spirit is His personal reality; often He is mentioned in language in which His personal reality is not explicit. (Dictionary of the Bible, John L. McKenzie, Trinity, p899) "The Trinity. The NT does not contain the developed doctrine of the Trinity.

380: Trinity proof texts: John 19:7
The irrefutable argument stated: The Jews wanted to stone Jesus, for claiming to be the "Son of God". Such a claim was not a misunderstanding in the minds of the Jews. The fact that the term "sons of God" is used 5 times in the Old Testament of created, non-divine beings, proves that when Jesus applied the term to Himself, he was claiming equality with God and divinity itself! The Jews were fully aware that Jesus claimed to be sent/ordained/appointed of God in John 19:7, THEY REJECTED THIS ... The specialized word for "appoint" in the New Testament is [Strong's: 2525 kathistemi] or [4400 procheirizomai], not [4160 poieo].

394: Kittel, Gerhard: Theological Dictionary of the New Testament
... Behind the individual relationships is the total context of salvation history as this may be seen most clearly and succinctly in Gal 4:4 ff.: God first sends the Son, and then, to continue the work. The divine work of salvation is thus prosecuted in the historical threefold relation of Father, Son and Spirit. This threefold relation soon found fixed expression in the triadic formulae in 2 C. 13:13, and in I Cor. 12:4-6.2" The form is first found in the baptismal formula in Mt. 28:19; Did., 7. 1 and 3. Perhaps recollection of the many triads of the surrounding polytheistic world contributed to the formation of these threefold formulae. More likely, however, is the influence of Jewish models. For in Judaism, as in the early Church, we find triadic formulae, and even formulae with four or more members. Justin combines the triad God, Christ and angel, with that of Father, Son and Spirit, to produce the fourfold (Apol., 1, 6). Eph. 4:4 ff. has spirit and lord, and then God. This is even ... ...
