Non-Biblical terminology
 

Non-Biblical terminology in and of itself does not mean that a doctrine described by it is necessarily false, but it does cast considerable doubt on the matter.


This is a quote from The Oneness of God...D.B.

If I'm reading this right.....could someone tell me what a true non-biblical doctrine would be. Not doubting just not understanding.

He means we can't use the word "oneness!" :D

The statement that you cite is in a passage found on pages 286 - 287 of the Oneness of God, Volume 1, by DKB.

As that passage indicates, you really need to go back to the discussion in the previous chapter to get the whole line of thinking. There is a complex development of Trinitarian doctrine that is made outside of the Biblical accounts of God's description and indentification. Bernard claims that this is problematic.

What if Christendom enforced only those creeds whose language were scriptually based? Oneness Pentecostals would have to grow up real fast.
