RE: [TruthTalk] Sin & Christian Perfection

[Rev. JPS Templeton]

I read this and wonder what your comments are. The writer clearly believes in God the Father and God the Son but is not prepared to give the same authority to the Holy Spirit.    God is NOT a Trinity. God is a FAMILY (Eph. 3:15), composed of the Father, and Jesus Christ, the first-born AMONG MANY BRETHREN (Rom. 8:29). The Bible does not teach a "closed" God-head. Rather, true Christians can become Sons of God -- very members of the GOD FAMILY -- if they are BORN AGAIN by His Spirit which has its complete fulfilment when they are glorified at the resurrection.     At the resurrection, Christians begotten by the Holy Spirit, are born into God's ruling Kingdom. We will become co-inheritors with Jesus Christ (Rom. 8:17)! We will be born of God as He is!   We will be glorified just like Jesus Christ -- we will be LIKE HIM, "for we shall see Him as He is" (I John 3:2) -- as VERY GOD!     Satan has deluded the world with his diabolical Trinitarian concept in order to HIDE the marvellous truth about MAN'S DESTINY!      I think myself that Godhead is a much better representation than Trinity and is not the invention of Theologians, James Templeton -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 28 October 2002 13:22 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [TruthTalk] Sin & Christian Perfection   You're going to have to ask DavidM questions.  I am not going to answer your questions until you answer mine.         I had to do with with the double faced Blainer for weeks until he finally admitted Mormonism is divided.  MORMON DIVISION DESTROYS MORMON REVELATION BECAUSE... IT DID NOT DO WHAT MORMONS have claimed it does....clarify the Bible.  INSTEAD Mormon revelation created more division.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To remove the Biblical word "Trinity" DAVEH:  Glenn, Marlin posted a website to help understand the mystery of the Trinity.  I found this quote there, which seems to support my position........ ********** Formulation of Trinitarian Doctrine (Circa 100-500 A.D.) If Trinitarian doctrine did not come from either the Old or New Testaments, from whence did it come?  The answer is that it was philosophically derived from the imaginations of men!  The basic structure of this doctrine was formulated over a period of several hundred years beginning shortly after the death of the Apostle John and continuing down into and through the time of St. Augustine.  It was formulated from five great philosophic axioms or constructs that have roots deeply embedded in the soil of Neoplatonic philosophy.  We will also see, however, that some of these Trinitarian roots grew from the seeds of a totally new syncretistic religious philosophy! http://www.cbcg.org/mystery_trinity2.htm ********** ..........So, is the above wrong in your opinion?  As I see it, "Trinity" is not a Biblical word let alone Biblical concept!  If you believe otherwise, what evidence do you offer??? is compromise to get along with a cult that believes Jesus and Satan are brothers.  I don't mind standing alone. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dave Hansen [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.langlitz.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
