God’s Word, Our Mirror – Thoughts on James 1:22-27

Posted by on May 11, 2010 in Holiness, The Bible

James 1:22-27 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.  23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:  24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.  25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.  26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.  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.

If we say there are three thrones, would that be a tritheistic view of God?. How many thrones are there and who is sitting on the throne? Many do not have a clear understanding of how we will see God in heaven. What do the Scriptures say?

The Father sent the Son into the world to become the ultimate sacrifice for sin. Does this mean that Jesus pre-existed in heaven as the Son of God? Many have seen the fact that Jesus was sent by the Father as proof of multiple ‘persons’ within the Godhead. Does this make Jesus a ‘member’ of the Godhead?

Our Abode

Posted by on Apr 23, 2010 in Godhead

In John 14:23, Jesus is speaking of himself and the Father and uses the terms ‘we’ and ‘our’. These terms have led many to use John 14:23 to support the idea of the trinity. Jesus’ use of the word ‘we’ has been used to proclaim multiple ‘persons’ within the Godhead. Does this verse intend to describe the interworkings of the Godhead? Was Jesus claiming that the Godhead is made up of ‘persons’? What did he mean by ‘abode’? Who is the ‘we’ and ‘our’ he’s referring to?
