This article examines one of Ellen White’s statements often quoted by trinitarians to repudiate Christ’s pre-existent Sonship. Trinitarians (SDAs) argue that the expression, “self-existent” taken from the noted statement means that Christâs life is ingenerate-inherently possessed without origin.
The article addresses one of a few manuscripts written by a stenographer where she presumably spoke the following words: “and they fall down and worship the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. (Ms 139, 1906)
Originally published in 2 parts on Facebook as a response to a series of questions pastor Ivor Myers asked in a Facebook group discussion forum dealing with Christ’s position in heaven.
Every now and then, someone would use the book of Isaiah to try and prove that God is a Trinity. In effect, these advocates of the Trinity doctrine are saying that the God of Isaiah was a triune one. But is this true? Let us examine.
Genesis 1:26 âThen God [ŚÖ±ŚÖčŚÖŽŚŚ ‘elohiym, el·Ć·hÄm’; Strongs H430] said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.â
Does this verse mean that there were more than one or rather three Gods (trinity) present in the creation of the world?
Does 1 John 5:7-8 teach trinity? Trinitarians often quote these verses as one of the proof texts, claiming that the verse, which says that the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost are one teache one Trinity God… Is this true? What the scripture actually reveals might surprise you.
Is the “ANOTHER” Comforter, whom Jesus said He would send in John 14:16, a different being or Himself in ANOTHER form? Let us take a look at how John used the same word as Christ did and you can decide what Christ meant according to the words of inspiration.
This short article will explain how Christ, who was tempted in the wilderness, is identified as the Holy Spirit spoken of by Paul in Hebrews Chapter 3.
In Proverbs Chapter 8 Wisdom is personified…and this Wisdom was brought forth; when there were no fountains…â 1Corinthians 1:24 says, âBut unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, AND THE WISDOM OF GOD.â Note: 1Cor 1:24 refers to Christ as the wisdom of God. Trinitarians insist that âwisdomâ in Proverbs 8 has no connection with 1Corinthians 1:24…
After reading many of her accounts as to how she was visited by Christ, I pondered how Ellen Whiteâs experience might have been no different than the prophets of old and the writers of the New Testament in that they were both inspired by the same Spirit–the Spirit of Christ.
Did Jesus risk all for us when He came as a man? This article examines whether or not Jesus risked being separated from His Father for eternity in saving you and I. “…HE COULD NOT HAVE DONE THIS AS GOD, BUT BY COMING AS MAN, CHRIST COULD DIE.” (Ellen G. White, Letter 97, 1898, p. 5. To “My Brethren in North Fitzroy,” November 18, 1898) Ellen G White says, Christ could not have died as God, but as a man, He could…meaning, somehow (this is a mystery) Christ was able to die as an incarnate Son…
As a 6th-generation very committed Seventh-day Adventist, I have believed and even taught the Trinity doctrine for nearly 30 years of my life. Last year I was challenged to examine this doctrine from the Bible and the writings of Ellen G. White. What I found was shocking and life-changing…
Does Acts 5:3-4 say the Holy Spirit is God or that they lied to the âAlmighty Godâ as it is His Spirit? Acts 5:3-4(KJV) âBut Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God.â
There are many Christians who believe that the incarnate Man Christ Jesus has forever forfeited His omnipresence. And because of this underlying assumption, many are led to believe that Christ is forever heaven-bound and that Christâs mediatorial work here on earth is now left to another person called the Holy Spirit who is Christâs âsuccessorâ and His ârepresentativeâ on earth.
Few understand how the Trinity doctrine came to be accepted – several centuries after the Bible was completed! Yet its roots go back much farther in history.
