In Defense of the Holy Trinity #2. Modalism

The Oneness Pentecostals or Jesus Only Apostolics have an erroneous view of the Holy Trinity that acknowledges that God is One but misunderstand the plurality of His persons. They believe God is not only one God but also only one Person. This person, who they claim is called Jesus, takes various roles at various times. God, to them, is not truly 3 separate individual persons who can interact and communicate with one another but one person who plays parts. The question they must ask is how can one person interact with Himself in any meaningful sense of the word. How can God be with Himself, pray to Himself, or be a Father to Himself if He is only one person at a time. The modalist error does not explain the interaction between the persons of the Godhead which we find in the Bible.

This "doctrine" is senseless.

[Blogrich55]

@JXTVE Yes, the Jesus Only Apostolic Pentecostal doctrine is senseless. Jesus is NOT His own Father.

@Blogrich55 I wouldn't call it apostolic at all. From my understanding of scripture studies, it might be that Father supremacy over the Son is way more apostolic then Oneness Pentecostalism. They claim to be Apostolic and some of them are sincere followers of Jesus but it seems like Satan has laid a Docetic trap on them. Keep anti-Modalist videos uploaded =)

@Danielezerable "Keep anti-Modalist videos uploaded =)

Thanks for the input. Very informative. I have a couple in the works right now. God bless.

@Blogrich55 You should check out some of my own anti-Modalist videos. There is nothing but Doceticism involved in Oneness.

[Blogrich55]

@Danielezerable Will do!

@gracedelivered "The way you answer comments doesn't show any love..."

Sorry about that! I can be a bit rude and sarcastic at times. I do love people though. I love you :D I just don't think you are biblically sound in your ideas. God bless you.

@Blogrich55 The way you answer comments doesn't show any love... I can feel that you are just uploading these videos for the sake of your argument... if not, you should have just posted videos containing the great Gospel of how Jesus died for them... well... about your question... I Corinthians- Paul speaks to those BELIEVERS who have gone through the receiving of the Holy Ghost in Acts 2... and besides the context there is about the greatness of love when compared to speaking in tongues...

@gracedelivered "One tip i can give you is learn to love people and try to be calm... "

Perhaps you should give this tip to 2222pauline. I DO love people. I love YOU don't I? How do YOU answer the scripture 1 Corinthians 13:8 where Paul says clearly that tongues shall cease? How do you answer that Paul said "Not all speak in tongues" in 1 Corinthians 4 but ALSO said in Romans 8:9 that those who did NOT have the spirit of Christ are NONE of His??

You MUST have the Spirit to be saved! GBU

Respond to this video... "Go babble in imagined tongues"--- speaking in tongues is biblical, i just don't know why it seems you are against it... And for your information, it's not imagined... maybe, for those who haven't experienced it, it would be really imagined... One tip i can give you is learn to love people and try to be calm...
