Re: Boxjobox on modalism
The whole thing of one God, our Father, and Jesus, the son of God, our Lord, and our relation with the Father and with His son, really shouldn't be that hard to comprehend just from reading the scriptures. Jesus hammers it home constantly, and Paul introduces it at the beginning of all his epistles. Peter, James, Jude, Acts all point to this very understandable, human level relation. John, with his much symbolism seems to be used by many to muddle this God given, Christ bought relationship we should have with the Father and with His son. UntoHim seems fearful of exposing the confusion trinitarianism has brought to Christianity, but think Lee's version is the problem. Yes, Lee's version did take his followers far away from what the Holy Spirit leads us to in the scriptures, but to revert back to a incomprehensible orthodox view does not meet the scriptural understanding and really, just plants us back in the " poor, poor, Christianity " condition with no recovery of the church. It seems like many who got out of the WL/LSM nightmare seem to still have one foot in WL teachings one the other in modern Christianity. I would say recovery would start when each of us as individuals recovers our thinking back to that which was from the beginning- the recognition of one God, our Father and his son Jesus the Christ, as John so clearly calls for in his 1st epistle.
