second, please don't put words in my mouth. and if you're going to quote me please get it right.
no, I'm not a “ONENESS” gospel teacher, nor it's believer. I'm a "DIVERSIFIED ONENESS" gospel teacher, that I believe get it right, please.
What’s the difference? It is still a “Oneness” gospel.
and this is the Gospel of Jesus the Christ. the title Father and the Title Son is the SAME PERSON diversified, meaning it's the same Spirit only "SHARED". Phil 2:6, 7 & 8 support this doctrine.
I beg to differ. The Bible is replete with Scripture verses that there are three distinct persons that subsist in the Godhead - uniplural. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The Father is NOt the Son, the Son is NOT the Father, and likewise with the Holy Spirit.
to prove my point, as I always ask, Jun2u take the Revelation 1:1 test. read the verse and tell us who sent "HIS" angel to "HIS" servent John. was it the Father, or the Son, but read Revelation 22:6 first, because the angel who was sent tells us who sent him,
The word “angel” in Scripture means “messenger.” Depending on the context of the verse the “messenger” could either be the Father or the Son. We call this: “Theophany” and “Christology.”
1) Jesus is the messenger of the covenant Malachi 3:1.
2) Angels are spirit beings sent (messenger) to minister on behalf of the saints Hebrews 1:14.
3) People are messengers, “go ye therefore, and teach all nations...” Matthew 28:19.
THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE ANGEL OF THE LORD.
The angel of the LORD also said to her, "I will so greatly multiply your offspring that they cannot be counted for multitude" (
Genesis 16:10).
Note: This angel said
He Himself would multiply the descendants of Hagar.
After the appearance of the angel of the LORD Hagar said.
“She gave this name to the LORD who spoke to her: "You are the God who sees me," for she said, "I have now seen the
One who sees me" (
Genesis 16:13).
She believed that she had spoken directly to God.
To Abraham and Sarah at Mamre.
Three men appeared to Abraham and his wife Sarah at the plains of Mamre. One of the three visitors who gave them this information is specifically called the LORD.
The LORD appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre, as he sat at the entrance of his tent in the heat of the day (Genesis 18:1).
To Abraham to Mount Mariah
God told Abraham to bring his son Isaac to Mount Moriah to be sacrificed. The angel of the LORD stopped Abraham saying:
He said do not lay your hand on the boy. or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from me" (
Genesis 22:12).
He called a second time to Abraham:
The angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven (
Genesis 22:15).
In this instance, the angel of the LORD, who called out to Abraham, seems to be the LORD Himself.
To Jacob.
This angel appeared a number of times to Jacob. (Genesis 31:11).
Jacob wrestled all night with a man who finally disabled him. The next morning Jacob understood that it was God Himself whom he had wrestled:
“And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have
seen God face to face, and my life is preserved (
Genesis 32:30).”
Moses At The Burning Bush.
(Exodus 3:2). The angel explained who he was (Exodus 3:6).
Although these appearances identify with the angel of the LORD with the LORD Himself, there are other appearances of the angel of the LORD where he is distinguished from God.
Case For A Theophany
The case for the angel of the LORD being a theophany, a temporary appearance of God in a body, is as follows.
1. Identified With God
In some contexts, the angel of the LORD is identified with God.
2. Power To Give Life
The angel of the LORD is said to have the power to give life (
Genesis 16:10). Only God has this power.
3. All-Knowing
The quality of omniscience, or knowing everything, is attributed to the angel of the LORD (
Genesis 16:13;
Exodus 3:7).
4. Judge The Earth
The angel of the LORD is called the "Judge of all the earth" (
Genesis 18:25). This is a title that belongs to God alone.
5. Forgive Sin
The Bible says that only God can forgive sin.
I, I am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and I will not remember your sins (Isaiah 43:25).
Yet the angel of the LORD had authority to forgive sins (
Exodus 23:21).
6. Receive Worship
Worship belongs to God and Him alone. Yet the angel of the LORD was worshipped by Moses and Joshua.
I am the LORD, that is my name; My glory I will give to no other, nor My praise to idols (Isaiah 42:8).
Since God will not share His name or glory with anyone else, this
angel must be God.
