Oneness is a modern term for believing Jesus is both the One and only God and yet also the human manifestation or "incarnation" of that God. Both man... and God.
As Martin Luther once said "in heaven the only God you will ever see is Jesus Christ".
In tthehuman Son of God we perceive the heavenly Father and God of all creation. And He sends his Holy Ghost into our hearts who is none other than Christ dwelling in us.
Trinitarianism and binitarianism and unfortunately even some versions of "oneness" I've heard are just intellectual attempts to explain God in the language of Hellenic philosophy and metaphysics. ie the "wisdom of the world" by which man FAILED TO KNOW GOD. |
How do you explain the prayers of Jesus to the Father?
I'm a Oneness believer. I'm curious how other Oneness believers explain Jesus' prayers because it usually reveals the inner workings of the way they view the Father and the Son.
