I am amazed as I read through the different threads on the subject of the Trinity and Oneness at how many times people with a Oneness(Monotheism) view are labled and/or accused of being Jehovah Witness's. There are other denominations which embrace Oneness. One of which is the United Pentecostal Denomination. They also baptize in the Name of Jesus only and do not use the formula most Trinitarian denominations use; "Father, Son & Holy Ghost". And...............no..................they are not cultic. It grieves me that fellow Believers with different views assume if someone's view is other than a Trinitarian then they must be part of a cult. There by discrediting thier beliefs as false and "out-there" or just plain wierd. No matter how we view God as One or Three we are all of the same BODY if we are "Born of HIM". After all never have I read in the scriptures that we MUST see God as One or Three to be Born of Chirst. Let me end with this one question. With these limited brains we have, who really knows all there is to know about the Godhead. When all is done and we finally arrive before our Lord I think we will find that no one really understood all there was about Him. At last we will have the whole mind of Chirst which we only have in part now.

Jesus was a pot smoking hippie, wasn't God, and didn't really die, He just passed out....but I still believe in Him.....

SO am I still a part of the body. Absolutely not! So why is it someone who denies the nature of Jesus is a part of the body?

JWs deny the Deity of Christ. This is why they are a cult. They also say that Jesus is 'a god' which makes them polytheists (though they do not see it that way...there is only one true God, not many true gods).

Modalism/oneness/Jesus only/Sabellianism is heretical, but they do not deny the Deity of Christ. It is possible to be a Christian modalist, but not a Christian JW.

( John 3:3 ) Jesus declared," I tell you the truth, no one can see the kingdom of God unless he is Born Again. There are many faiths out there that claim to be of God but are they? My Grandmother has gone to a certain denomination all her life. I mentioned John 3:3 to her and she is so confused. I love my grandmother and desperatly want her to be in Heaven in the future but I have my doubts that she is a Christian born of the Spirit. My neighbor goes to a church with his wife. He said that some of the people laugh at Born Again Christians. My father claims to be a Christian but I don't see the Holy Spirit working in his life. I mentioned John 3:3 to him and he said that in his church, he believes that when he was baptised he was Born Again.

( John 3:5-8 ) Jesus answered," I tell you the truth, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless he is born of water and the Spirit. (The water here doesn't mean baptism but a natural birth) Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spirit. You should not be surprised at my saying," You must be Born Again."The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you can not tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit.

I just feel that a person or denomination is of God if they put their faith in Jesus and believe that the Holy Bible is the word of God. If they rely on the teachings of men then they are not of God. Christians must rely on the Holy Spirit and the Bible if they want to please God. We can not please God on our own we must be Born of the Spirit and live by following Him. :emot-heartbeat:

When all is done and we finally arrive before our Lord I think we will find that no one really understood all there was about Him. At last we will have the whole mind of Chirst which we only have in part now.

I am the exJehovahs Witness here and am a BornAgain Christian. What is it that I needed to know about Jesus to make HIm both LORD and Saviour that the Jws don't teach, that also the Oneness don't teach? How can we get tired of the truth?! It is the faith the apostles and early CHristians contended for and all since! JESUS IS LORD> People NEED to know this!

I am not saying that Oneness is exactly like Jws in every way and I did not say it meaning that in EVERY way they are the same. The similarity is the fact the aside from traditional CHristian teaching they are teaching a different doctrine that is founded on man, not GOD in CHRIST!

There is alot, TONSSS that makes the JWs cult. When I said it is exactly that, I was referring to the mentality of not looking to see what the truth the scriptures present, ot not distinguish Christian teaching adn mans teachings and to not see Christ for WHO HE is. NOT that they are the same in every way.

The totaltarian society of JWs is a hostile and abusive cult that destroys peoples lives in many, many ways.

The fact they set themselves up in a godlike position over their members, use mind controlling tecniques, in double speak, secret meanings to words and phrases, hidden images intheir literature, repeated phrases and wordsand deleteed words of the Bible, fear of family loss , no communication involved, and then the founders heresy that JESUS is not God . But, a god(like being) and to forbid to speak to Him, are many but only a few of the problems they have.

But, the Oneness is also in the catagory, and that is why you see it posted together, because they also are going against traditional Christianity as brought forth by the Apostles and JEsus HImself.

IF that makes you angry, imagine how people who are lied to about Who JEsus is feel when they find out others don't care enough to tell them the truth! or rock their boats for them!!

Because we are called to tell the Truth of the LORD JESUS to all the world and not to pad it down and be soft and fuzzy or we could forget the gospel entirely and have "a go feel good no wave making" gospel!

BE Holy Spirit filled and never tire of the Truth and the fight it brings; because JESUS IS LORD And all the world needs to know!(Including pseudo Christianity where ever it is not CHRISTianity! What good is churchiananity?!!

IF people had not cared enough to make waves, would I have known why it is so important to know JEUSS IS LORD?

If I love my own comfort zone more than I love JESUS and my friends to tell them of JESUS IS LORD.............

Praise GOD for those who rock the boats for the ROCK OF AGES!

JESUS IS LORD

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
