GINOLJC, to all. before I post, understand I’m not attacking anyone’s beliefs, but consider what I post.
John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent”. the keyword here is the conjunction “AND”. many trinitarian use the Granville Sharp rule here to justify a second person of a trinity. but I say no. it shows and justify the same PERSON diversified, which I will propose later. but here in this verse as well as in Titus 2:10 for an example the conjunction “AND” do not signify a second person in the Godhead, but shows the SAME PERSON in the Godhead only diversified. let the scripture speak. for those who reject the conjunction “AND” as to proof of another (Entity), or as I believe the same Person, here’s the proof, let the scriptures speak. 1 Corinthians 8:6 "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him”. many say this very clearly define the Father as God, but please note the conjunction "and" that is bold above. please look at that verse again. now this, James 1:27 "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world”. here we have God “AND” the Father, see the difference in reference to 1 Corinthians 8:6. for if one accepts the conjunction “AND” as a separator from God and the Lord Jesus the Christ in 1 Corinthians 8:6, then one would have to accept the conjunction “AND” as a separator in James 1:27 from God and Father. if so then we ALL would have a problem.
understand, the AND in both scripture must be speaking of the same PERSON, and not Person(s) as in two. for if one think that the “AND” include two separate person and one nature, then one have a bigger problem. for God is “A” Spirit. now if you try to separate the Spirit then one have division, and that’s anti bible. but what's the truth? if one believe that God is the SHARE, or the diversity of himself as G243 allos, which is our English word “ANOTHER” states, then one must conclude it’s only ONE PERSON shared “OF” himself. this is the key to the dilemma “OF” himself. let’s look up the definition of G243 allos. my source Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words, and it states, “Allos expresses a numerical difference and denotes another of the same sort”. THERE IT IS not two persons, but one person share or “NUMERICALLY” diversified of oneself. note G243 allos states a. “a numerical difference”, STOP, what do this term really means, answer, DIFFERENTIATION. but also G243 states, b.”the SAME…. SORT. sort here means nature, 1. a particular kind, species, variety, class, or group, distinguished by a common character or nature. 2. character, quality, or nature. read those definitions again which is the core of my belief, Diversified Oneness.
Just what am I say here. one PERSON (Spirit/God) Shared/diversified in Flesh and bone. the apostle Thomas expressed it correctly, My Lord and, and, and, my GOD (John 20:28). what is John saying here, God “shared/Diversified” in flesh as a man, which is his image that was to come. supportive scripture, Genesis 1:26a "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness”. what is God image? answer MAN. if one look up the word “Adam” one will notice that the KJV can translate the word Adam as “ANOTHER” just as G243 allos say the Lord Jesus is, a numerical difference. just as Eve is another/Adam of the man himself, a numerical difference, "of" the same sort/nature. this is the IMAGE that was to come, "ANOTHER of the same sort, just as the scripture states. listen, Romans 5:14 "Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come”. that “Figure” to come is “ANOTHER” of God, or the LAST ADAM. this is the IMAGE of God, "ANOTHER" of himself in flesh and bone. scripture, Matthew 1:23 "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us". how is God "with" us? answer in flesh and bone as we are, that's how.
conclusion: the Lord Jesus the Christ is the “ANOTHER” of God in Flesh and bone. and this another, which means, he’s the EQUAL SHARE of the Spirit/God in Flesh and Bone as Philippians 2:6, 7, and 8 states.
a re-reading of this post might be necessary to understand “diversified Oneness”. be blessed.
