When I ask who Jesus was praying to in the garden (Luke 22:42), they say it was human nature praying to the divine nature. What is wrong with the oneness view of God? 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. (Phil 2:8-9), Does it make any sense to say that God exalted himself? There are two responses to this worth noting. It is the Father who said to the Son, In the beginning you laid the foundations of the earth. But just so the reader will understand his theological meaning, the author of Hebrews adds the word, LORD (taken to indicate YHWH) into the sentence so as to underline the point. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him. 22 Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world? 23 Jesus answered him, If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. Many numerous scriptural references (15x) say that God raised Jesus from the dead, indicating a distinction between Jesus who was raised, and God who raised him. Oneness theology denies the Trinity doctrine and claims that there is one person in the Godhead who has manifested himself in three different forms: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. In my discussions with oneness experts and laity, when discussing the two natures of Christ, they repeatedly support the idea that within the body of Christ are two distinct persons: God and man. Oneness Pentecostals often mistakenly think that this is what the doctrine of the trinity represents. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The problem should be obvious. The trinitarian will recite the Shema, Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one. The trinitarian believes that. 36 As for the word that he sent to Israel, preaching good news of peace through Jesus Christ (he is Lord of all), 37 you yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: 38 how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. They held to a modalist conception of God. Many members of the UPCI do not even realize what the larger organization believes. 20 In that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. But, there are numerous problems with their position. If Jesus is the fullness of deity, it follows that he is not 33% of God. While most parishioners are unaware of this, the leading Oneness Pentecostal organization, the United Pentecostal Church International, denies patripassionism. 5 When Silas and Timothy arrived from Macedonia, Paul was occupied with the word, testifying to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.
