Download or read book All That Is in God written by James E. Dolezal and published by Reformation Heritage Books. This book was released on 2017-07-13 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unknown to many, increasing numbers of conservative evangelicals are denying basic tenets of classical Christian teaching about God, with departures occurring even among those of the Calvinistic persuasion. James E. Dolezal’s All That Is in God provides an exposition of the historic Christian position while engaging with these contemporary deviations. His convincing critique of the newer position he styles “theistic mutualism” is philosophically robust, systematically nuanced, and biblically based. It demonstrates the need to maintain the traditional viewpoint, particularly on divine simplicity, and spotlights the unfortunate implications for other important Christian doctrines—such as divine eternality and the Trinity—if it were to be abandoned. Arguing carefully and cogently that “all that is in God is God Himself,” the work is sure to stimulate debate on the issue in years to come.

Download or read book God without Parts written by James E. Dolezal and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2011-11-09 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The doctrine of divine simplicity has long played a crucial role in Western Christianity's understanding of God. It claimed that by denying that God is composed of parts Christians are able to account for his absolute self-sufficiency and his ultimate sufficiency as the absolute Creator of the world. If God were a composite being then something other than the Godhead itself would be required to explain or account for God. If this were the case then God would not be most absolute and would not be able to adequately know or account for himself without reference to something other than himself. This book develops these arguments by examining the implications of divine simplicity for God's existence, attributes, knowledge, and will. Along the way there is extensive interaction with older writers, such as Thomas Aquinas and the Reformed scholastics, as well as more recent philosophers and theologians. An attempt is made to answer some of the currently popular criticisms of divine simplicity and to reassert the vital importance of continuing to confess that God is without parts, even in the modern philosophical-theological milieu.

Sproul carefully explains the Trinity and clarifies common misconceptions. While the Trinity is mysterious, it is not contradictory, and it is essential to understanding the nature of God.

Download or read book On the Trinity written by Saint Augustine of Hippo and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 630 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following dissertation concerning the Trinity, as the reader ought to be informed, has been written in order to guard against the sophistries of those who disdain to begin with faith, and are deceived by a crude and perverse love of reason. Now one class of such men endeavor to transfer to things incorporeal and spiritual the ideas they have formed, whether through experience of the bodily senses, or by natural human wit and diligent quickness, or by the aid of art, from things corporeal; so as to seek to measure and conceive of the former by the latter.

Download or read book The Glorious Triunity of God written by Sonny Hernandez and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2020-10-03 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believing in one God in Trinity and Trinity in Unity is an essential of the Christian faith. God is not unipersonal, but is multi-personal, and God does not exist in three separate beings, but three divine and distinct persons. The one true God of the Bible exists in three consubstantial persons, with absolute unity of essence. Both the Old Testament (OT) and the New Testament (NT) have fully revealed that all three persons in the Godhead--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit--are inseparable from the divine being and are permanently existing in one another. Professing Christians who do not know the Trinity don't know God or His gospel! Those who reject the Trinity by either dividing the substance or confounding the persons are guilty of heresy--since God exists in a Trinity of persons and the Trinity is grounded in the gospel--whereby God chose the elect, the Son redeemed the elect, and the Spirit seals the elect. Thus, learning the doctrine of the Trinity is an indispensable responsibility for every Christian. Shockingly, but not surprisingly, there are many professing believers who have never heard a full sermon or a lecture on the Tri-Personality of God. This is due to the fact that many of their pastors are either unlettered or ill-advised about the Trinity. So when many church members hear their pastors reference the Trinity in one of their sermons, it will typically be shallow, inept, or benighted. The implications are devastating: an ignorant pastor will always produce ignorant church members. But if professing Christians and their pastors remain ignorant about what God is and who He is, they will be unequipped and will have no ability to defend the multi-personality of God, the deity of Christ, or the gospel when confronted by Unitarians. The Glorious Triunity of God is not an exhaustive research book, but is a family worship and Bible study guide on the doctrine of the Trinity. This book was written for Christians to utilize as another family worship resource. This is important for two reasons: (1) the chief end of man is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever, (2) and all three persons in the Godhead are to be equally worshiped and served. The Glorious Triunity of God was also written for pastors and Bible study groups in local churches, and for professing Christians to study with their families and friends so they can rightly divide the Word and to ensure that the Unity in Trinity and the Trinity in Unity is worshiped. Amen.

Download or read book Understanding the Trinity written by Daniels Will Daniels and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the Trinity is a revolution in Christian thought and philosophy. True Christianity is a Jewish religion established and organized by Jews. Gentiles were invited by Jews, with God's approval, to participate in the Christian movement. However, Gentile Leaders in most Christian Churches of the world today do not preach the original Christian gospel message of salvation that was first delivered to the saints by the apostle Paul (Galatians 1:8-9). "Understanding the Trinity, Three Persons vs Three Manifestations," will bring us back to the original gospel message, the oneness of God, and the power of God's name in the face of Jesus Christ. (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11). When Billy G. Newton, Bishop, Diocesan of the 29th Episcopal District, Pentecostal Assemblies of the World, Inc., Pastor of the Word of Church read this book, he said, "This book was so fascinating I couldn't put it down." When Kevin Seraaj, M.Div., J.D. Senior Pastor, Cornerstone Baptist Church, Publisher, Central Florida Advocate News read this book, he said, "Understanding the Trinity" is a timely, relevant and extremely provocative piece of work. In a time when the church must be challenged to move out of old ways, notions, thoughts and traditions, this book will without question provide a forum for much-needed theological discussion. For students of the Bible, this book is a must read, for it is always that process of reading, analyzing and debating that enables us to move forward in both our personal and spiritual journeys." Great job!! When Frank E. Thompson, Pastor of the Worship Center Church read the book, he said, "This book should be taught in colleges and universities." Author's Note: You have in your possession the true gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't let the birds steal your seeds (Matthew 13:3-13) (KJV).
Download or read book Our Triune God written by Peter Toon and published by Regent College Publishing. This book was released on 2002 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is the God of the Bible? From both within the church and outside her walls the orthodox doctrine of the Holy Trinity, declared in Scripture and passed down in ecumenical creeds and local confessions of faith, is under attack. The emerging absence of a Trinitarian mind-set so prevalent in the church today has enormous implications for the future of the Christian faith. Concerned to counter contemporary attacks on the doctrine of God, Peter Toon here demonstrates the existence and priority of a Trinitarian pattern in Scripture and defends the essential role of the Trinity in Christian belief, faith, and practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You might be surprised to find that God is not a trinity. The Trinity is one of mainstream Christianity’s most widely accepted and revered doctrines held by millions of Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox believers.

But this is definitely not the case." "Many historians and religious scholars, some quoted in this publication, attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century." God the Father is the One who calls us to baptism and a new way of life (John 6:44, 65), and it is His goodness that leads us to repentance and baptism (Romans 2:4). "As even the New Catholic Encyclopedia, quoted from earlier, acknowledges: “The majority of New Testament texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God..."
