The expressions "God the Father," "God the Son" and "God the Holy Spirit" are almost cliche" in their association with Christianity. The doctrine of a three-in-one God is so familiar that the vast majority of Christians believe it to be the keystone of Christian faith. The author of this explosive study was also reared to believe in the "trinity." Yet, through his Biblical research, he gradually came to see that Jesus Christ is not God-that he is the Son of God, but not "God the Son." Without "God the Son" there is no trinity. What is Christianity without a trinity? It is placed back at the point when the first century apostles lived and dynamically taught those things which God revealed to them and which Jesus himself had shown them during his life. The Bible clearly teaches that Christianity is monotheistic. God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, is the one and only true God whom Jesus Christ and his followers are to worship as above, before and over all things. How can Christians hope to please God when they aren't clear on who God is? The author contends that separating the Father from the Son does not at all discredit the Son. Rather, trinitarian dogma placing the Son on God's level degrades God from His elevated, unparalleled position; besides, it leaves man unredeemed. This book looks at the historical evolution of the trinity, since trinitarianism simply was not a part of the doctrine of the first century apostles, nor in fact, a part of Church doctrine for the first four centuries. Then, Biblical study elucidates the beauty and significance of God's relationship with His Son. Jesus Christ was not an extension of God, but one who was willing to be the sacrificial Passover lamb-the redeeming, second Adam. 231.0440910068070 Perpustakaan STTB Bandung Theological Seminary 231.044 Wie j E96023532 Non Fiction 231.044 Wie j Jesus_Christ_is_not_God.jpg 35868 2014-11-27 11:54:25 2025-04-09 14:42:54 machine generated
