The Reasoning Of Our Faith Case #6
by
Elder Lloyd T. Lockett
The Apostolic Note
Through the eyes the Patripassians Christian view of
Jesus, we find this definition imbedded in the hearts and souls of the
Oneness faithful worshiper, that God and only God saved me.
We understand that "pa" is translated father
in the Latin, as well as "Passian" translates to suffer. We understand
that the Spirit of God can not die, therefore can not suffer but a man
can and did and that man is Jesus, who is the Father of Creation and the
visible manifestation of God in the flesh. The Father suffered because
he became a man in the person {hypostasis} singular, of Y'shua Ha
Mashiach, John.1:14 "The word became flesh". Although the word "Logos,
Greek for word" is used here, we find a discrepancy in its usage. Due to
Greek Polytheism and the very corrupt thinking of Plato's subtle
addition of his warped and non-biblical theory of reasoning, we now have
a God of many part, integrated into the world of Christen thought and a
Logos theology rooted from Plato's monstrosity called the Timaeus.
Through this elaborate mixture of three main gods with mathematics, this
Pleonastic contribution to the Roman Catholic fathers, who by the way
are Neo-Platonist by way of Tertullian {AD 200} and his introduction of
the Trinitas, which is today's Trinity. We must note that the Logos
theology is not the same as the biblical reasoning of the Logos of
Oneness Judaic-Christianity {Modalistic Monarchianism} and truth. Logos
theology teaches us that a pre-existent person is in the Godhead. In no
way did primitive Judaic-Christians view God in this pagan practice.
Gods word was always from the mind of God and not from a part of his
multiple self existence. God's word was and is a word given in the old
testament and a word manifested in the new. God and his word is not
divided but is one and the same. It was this very word that has become
flesh and lived with the sum of humanity in John.1:14. Dear
friends, the Hypostatic Union supports no plurality in the Godhead at
all. Lets look at the word "Elohim" and how it's translated and reasoned
by Oneness and Trinitarians. The Elohim of old Testament is translated
God and Reveals to us the attributes of God and not a community of
persons called Holy Trinity. If this is true in any way, the use of the
word in Judges.6:31 when it is used to refer to Baal, would also mean
that in him is a multitude of gods as well as in 2ndKings.1:2 when
Beelzebub is called Elohim, he to would be a kind of plurality of
persons, but they are not. When the word is used it is speaking of one
entity and not 2,3 or any other numerical equation outside of one. Now
will you trust the so-called Post-Apostolic Fathers: Clement of Rome,
Ignatius, Polycarpi, Justin Martyr, and Shepherd Hermas or true Oneness
thinking from a oneness God. By the way, they claimed to be successors
of the real Oneness Apostles but they don't identify with the real
Apostles Oneness God. Now, go reason that one out.

"The Aposolic Note" is a letter developed by Elder
Lockett to challenge our thinking of todays Christocentric reasoning,
"the system of theology that has it's focus on the foundational and
absolute authenticity of Christ, based on his person and works, making
Christ the focus of everything". Without this understanding the
Christology "The doctrine of Jesus Christ and the Incarnation -God made
flesh giving us the two nature.
