Lets start here.



The battle over who Jesus is between Oneness and Trinity is NOT over whether Jesus is God but rather how many Gods are there.

If God is one and Jesus is God no one else can be. So if we start with the foundation of Duet 6:4 there must be a way Jesus is the only God and yet....be his Son.

Trinity fails here because the doctrine itself sets out to assert there is more than one who is God.

Among the scores of Trinitarian believers I have discussed with the consensus of their doctrine seems to be this.

God is one in being but not in person.

There are three co equal, co eternal persons, each one DISTINCT from the other.

This they declare to be ONE GOD.

In this view each of the three persons of God (God persons) is God apart from or distinct from the other two. The other two are always distinct from the other one.

And yet...this is a so called One God belief.

It definitely teaches if not outright three Gods at minimum three GOD PERSONS.

So the battle lines are drawn.

Oneness believes in one God the Father who manifests himself through Jesus Christ and three God persons of which Jesus is number two.

Correcting myself here.

The last sentence of this post was supposed to read:

Oneness believes in one God the Father who manifests himself through Jesus Christ and Trinity believes in three God persons of which Jesus is number two.
