Some people baptism a certain way because of Matthew 28:19, some see it differently because of Acts. The truth is that there is only one true Biblical form, but to say the Devil uses Matthew 28:19 to send people to hell....that is really, really a shaky argument. |
Let me say that I find it odd that you will not recognize the truth that Ferd has very rudimentarily posted here. That truth is that the devil has always used untruths to mislead humanity. It is what he does. The idea of a trinity hacks away at the very foundation of what and who God is. Of course the devil wants to bring confusion and misinformation into the doctrine of the Godhead. Tritheism acccomplishes this goal in a magnificant way.
Here, we have taken the most simple of biblical truths, which is laced throughout the entire canon, and twisted it into a mangled mess of theological confusion. The Shemah is the foundational truth of Judeo-Christian belief. Our God is ONE. Any attempt to divide His nature into categories defined as persons is futile and akin to blasphemy. There is only one person in God - the man Christ Jesus.
"Hath God said" is the most powerful weapon in the devil's aresnal. It places doubt in the heart of a believer. Doubt in God's word and doubt as to His very nature. The trinity is a "hath God said" issue. It asks the question "Is God who He says He is?" Do we believe His repeated claim of "no other beside me" or do we allow unbelief to crowd that Truth from our minds?
So of course the trinity is a damnable heresy. Of course the devil wants that doctrine propagated. How best to strike at the heart of the humanity/divinity relationship than to confuse humanity as to who God really is?
