He referred me to several resources & books by Oneness exponents as well.
Teaching that the Son of God, Jesus Christ is the one true living God has been viewed by many people as a teaching that is not able to co-exist with a Monotheistic view of God. It has not been easy for Christianity to maintain both teachings & we still struggle to keep this balance, in my opinion because of our human limitations in understanding an infinite God.
Often times we see people lean towards Polytheism which is quite contrary to the view espoused by the Bible. We see others reject the Son, which in my opinion is also quite contrary to the Christian faith. I only wish to contribute to this discussion. I'm not trying to win a debate...Thanks for the replies.  |
BTW every major Oneness Author..and by that I mean those that are peer reviewed and not some self published internet unknown, asserts the Son is God
