INTRODUCTION

This is a writing ministry, devoted to the strengthening of the people of God. Our focus is the clarification of the nature and content of the Gospel of Christ, which is the power of God unto, or in order to, salvation. This ministry places a priority on the edification of the people of God.

The Word of Truth publication was originated by brother Blakely in 1960. Originally called "The Salt Shaker" (1957-1959), it reaches throughout the world. You will not find intellectual novelties or tangential subjects in this literature. The Word of God is our subject matter, the Lord Jesus Christ is our focus, and eternity is our perspective. Of particular emphasis is clarifying the nature and content of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We write with several key realities in mind.

• The present heavens and earth will pass away (2 Peter 3:10-12).
• We will all stand before Christ’s judgment seat (2 Corinthians 5:10).
• Sin has been taken away by the Son of God (John 1:29; Hebrews 9:26).
• The Gospel is God’s appointed means of salvation (Romans 1:16).
• Justification, or complete exoneration from sin, is a gift from God, imputed upon the basis of faith (Rom 3:22-6).
• The church, which is the body of Christ, is the means through which heavenly hosts are being instructed (Eph 3:9-11).

  OUR FOCUS

From the standpoint of a Person, our focus is Jesus Christ. In Him the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. He is the express image of God's Person, precisely conveying to the conscience of men the Person and purpose of the Father. That purpose is delineated in the Gospel of Christ: the proclamation of the Person and accomplishments of the Son of God.

From the standpoint of an objective, the "eternal purpose of God" is the locus, or center, of all of God's workings. The creation itself, God's dealings with key persons, the giving of the Law, the sending of Jesus, the New Covenant, and the body of Christ, all revolve around this revealed purpose. Nothing has any real significance apart from this purpose. Our aim is to expound this purpose as revealed in the Person of Christ, the Scriptures in general, and the Apostles' doctrine in particular.

   TARGET AUDIENCE

Believers in Christ--those that confess they are strangers and pilgrims in the world--and are in quest of a better country, i.e., heaven.  We have a particular interest in establishing the people of God: strengthening their faith, enhancing their hope, and increasing their joy and peace. We are persuaded the work of the Lord will only be accomplished through a strong and mature body of believers. While we have an intense interest in reconciling sinners to God, we see the emphasis of Scripture placed upon the edifying of the body of Christ.

   OUR OBJECTIVE

1. Clarify the nature and content of the Gospel of Christ.
2. Shine the jewel of redemption, expounding its remarkable benefits and unparalleled glory.
3. Increase the faith of those who have received the Son.
4. Strengthen the hope of Christians, helping them to know their names are written in heaven.
5. Build the confidence and assurance of followers of Jesus.
6. Equip the people of God to comprehend and enter into the work of God.
7. Give the advantage to believers in their resistance of Satan and the good fight of faith.

   OUR PERCEPTION OF THE WORK OF GOD

Through the Lord Jesus Christ, God the Father is preparing humanity for Divine appointments. These include the following.

1.    The passing of the present heavens and earth.
2.    The confrontation of God in eternal judgment.
3. The coming of the new heavens are earth wherein dwells righteousness.
4. In summation, the purpose of salvation is to prepare people for the world to come -- for dwelling in the house of the Lord forever.

This preparation is accomplished through the following.

1. The remission of sins, or complete exoneration of the believer--justification.
2. The utility of the believer; i.e., personal participation in the very work of God--sanctification.
3. Through the precious promises of God, the redeemed become participants in the Divine nature.
4. By the Holy Spirit, we engage in subduing the sinful nature.
5. Through the grace of God we are effectively taught to deny ungodliness and live righteously in the world.

The power of God to effect these things is found in the Gospel of Christ (Rom 1:16).

   OUR PHILOSOPHY

Obedience to Divine commands, and the proper ordering of one's life, are only possible when we have a proper perception of Christ Jesus. The iteration of Law is necessary, but insufficient to produce these results. Faith, without which God cannot be pleased, comes by hearing the Gospel, not hearing Law. The predominate message, therefore, is one of Divine accomplishment, not human requirement. Once the Person and accomplishments of Jesus are correctly seen, obedience and spiritual discipline are eagerly pursued. Our literature will affirm the superiority of the Gospel of Christ over all other religious messages. It is the only acceptable emphasis for preachers and teachers.

   APPROPRIATING SALVATION

Everything required as a foundation for salvation has been accomplished by Christ Jesus. His substitutionary death has thoroughly satisfied God's requirements. The massive debt incurred by human transgression has been paid in full. The devil has been completely frustrated, and the door of heaven has been thrown open to "whosoever will." The Gospel of Christ apprizes men of these facts, announcing God Himself is disposed to receive anyone and everyone who receives the atonement accomplished by Christ Jesus. Receiving that atonement, or reconciliation, involves a response to the Gospel of Christ. Salvation must be appropriated. It is not simply conferred upon uninvolved individuals.

Well meaning men have sought to codify the way men appropriate salvation. As a consequence, a great deal of confusion exists in the Christian community on this matter. Some are persuaded men just "receive Jesus into their hearts," even though no such language is found in all of Scripture. Others feel that a simple prayer ( i.e., asking Jesus to come into our heart) is what is required, even though no person in Scripture ever appropriated the salvation of God by prayer. There is no reference in God's Word to "the sinner's prayer." There is no reference to bowing our head and receiving Christ into our heart. No person can confer salvation on you, pronouncing you free from sin and acceptable to God.  These are just the facts in the case.

Just as Israel was personally involved in their deliverance from Egypt, so the person appropriating salvation becomes personally involved. In their deliverance from Egypt, the Israelites had to kill a lamb, sprinkle its blood upon the door post of their dwelling, and eat the lamb. They had to get their family ready for deliverance at the midnight hour, getting fully dressed, their belongings ready to go, and their staffs in their hand. Even after all of their involvement, it was still God that brought them out--but they had to prepare themselves.

In like manner, the person appropriating salvation is required to do something. He is not passive in the arrangement, anymore than Israel was in coming out of Egypt, Noah was in building the ark, or Abraham was in coming out of Ur of the Chaldees and heading for the promised land. Attempting to be saved without doing anything would be like Israel expecting deliverance from Egypt without killing and passover lamb and placing its blood upon their doors. It would be like Noah expecting to be saved from  the flood without building the ark, or Abraham expecting to arrive in the promised land without leaving Ur of the Chaldees.

The message of the Gospel must obviously be believed--taken into the heart. That means the person casts the weight of his soul upon that message, depending upon the truth of it to get him away from Satan and join him to the Lord (Mark 16:16; John 3:16,18; Rom 1:16; Acts 15:7). There can be no question in the heart and mind of the one being saved about the truth of the Gospel. Too, it must be seen as relevant to his situation, and indispensable for his deliverance.

Repentance is also required. That is a turning away from sin--a determined turning away. But it is also a turning to God. It involves a refocusing of our life--a renunciation of the old way, and taking hold of God's way. It is a change of mind that dictates a change of life (Acts 2:38; 5:31; 11:18; Luke 24:47; ). Repentance involves a change of both mind and conduct.

Appropriating salvation also necessitates the public acknowledgment of Christ -- confessing Him to be the Son of God -- before men. A public confession is required because Christ's death was public. That confession should be as public as is possible. In the case of the Ethiopian eunuch, it was made before only one person, because that was as public as it could be (Acts 8:37). This confession is called "the good confession" (1 Tim 6:12-13). It is the result of God revealing the Son to the one confessing Him (Matt 16:16-18; 1 Tim 6:13; Rom 10;10; Acts 8:37).

A rare opportunity is afforded everyone coming to God through Christ. They participate in the death, burial, and resurrection of Christ Himself. This participation is embodied in the ordinance of baptism, and is fulfilled in the human spirit by the Holy Spirit. While the religious world argues about baptism, we must admit there are no such arguments in scripture about it. No one questioned whether or not they should be baptized -- they simply did it. They were "buried with Christ" by means of baptism, and "raised" with Him to walk in a new life (Rom 6:4-8). Baptism, in my judgment, is the only thing you can do perfectly. One further thing about this much maligned ordinance. All of the instruction about it is given to those who had already been baptized. That means more occurs in this act than men dare to imagine (Acts 2:38; 10:48; Rom 6:1-8; Gal 3:26-28; Col 2:11-12).

   CAN A PERSON BE LOST ONCE HE IS SAVED?

Here again, the religious community is divided. However, God has spoken too clearly on this matter for such divisions to be justified. First, no one who IS believing is in jeopardy of being lost. Consistently, the Word of God affirms salvation for those who ARE believing. A believer, after all, is someone who IS believing--not someone who HAS believed. The Word of God does not take faith for granted. It challenges believers to "earnestly contend for the faith" (Jude 3), "fight the good fight of faith" (1 Tim 6:12), and continue in the faith (Acts 1`4:22).  We are also admonished to "examine" ourselves to see if we ARE "in the faith" (2 Cor 13:5). The Spirit tells us of people who have "departed from the faith" (1 Tim 4:1), made "shipwreck of the faith" (1 Tim 1:19), and believed "for a while" (Luke 8:13).

On the subject of falling away, or being lost after once saved, it is not in order to cite promises that are made to those who ARE believing. God has spoken on the subject of falling away, and His words are quite clear. Believers do not live in a moral vacuum. They are in a cursed world, hounded by a fierce adversary, and living in a frail house of clay. They are not in heaven yet, and to get there will require effort on their part. It is inconceivable that God Himself, the Lord Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and even the holy angels could involve themselves in your salvation, without you being involved yourself. Such a thought is an absurdity unworthy of consideration. God speaks of a fallen state that is worse than never having known the Lord at all (2 Peter 2:20-21). The Spirit also speaks of those who have had extensive involvement with heavenly things, yet through unbelief, have fallen into a condition from which they cannot be recovered (Hebrews 6:4-6).

If a person doubts this can happen, a sober reflection on several accounts of Scripture should serve to awaken them from their self-induced stupor. Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden by God Himself. They had no sin, and were in some form of fellowship with the Lord. Yet, they were expelled from the very Garden in which God placed them. Who is the person willing to affirm they were really never in the Garden at all? Also, Israel was given the land of Canaan. They entered the land, possessing it for a while. Yet, they were also expelled from it because of their unbelief. Would anyone be foolhardy enough to affirm Israel never really occupied Canaan? And what about Judas, chosen by Jesus Himself to be an Apostle. We are told he "fell by transgression," and was thus excluded from the Apostolic office. His place, according to prophecy, was taken by another. Will any one dare to affirm Judas was really never an Apostle. Yet, some would have us believe those who fall away were never really saved. To those daring to take such a view, the Holy Spirit says, "You therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked" (2 Peter 3:17). And again, "Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall" (1 Corinthians 10:12).

Can a person be lost once he is saved? As long as they are in the realm of hostility--"this present evil world"--they can again be ensnared by the devil. Ultimate safety will be experienced only when we are removed from this world. Until then, our only safety is found in our faith (1 John 5:4-5). Now, that is our sole means of connection with the eternal. If, in this world, you could not fall from the heavenly places, there would be no need for an Intercessor (Heb 7:25). The angels would not be required to minister to the saved (Heb 1:13-14). The Holy Spirit would not be required to indwell the believer (Rom 15:13). If one imagines that Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the angels engage in their indispensable ministries apart from the willing involvement of the individual, Satan has surely deceived them. No such thought is ever expressed in Scripture! The reasoning is flawed that assumes heaven is involved in our salvation, but we are not. It is OUR involvement that is the weak point, so to speak. At the point we "draw back," God ceases to be pleased with us (Heb 10:38-39). It is then that we move outside of the circumference of Divine grace and protection.

While there is a danger of being lost once we are saved, it is certainly not necessary. God is "able to keep you from falling, and present you faultless before His throne with exceeding joy" (Jude 24-25). As you place your faith in Him, walking in the Spirit and living by faith, you will be kept safe. But do not assume that process is automatic. It does require all of your effort. It is YOU that must "fight the good fight of faith, and lay hold on eternal life" (1 Tim 6:12). Rather than waste time speculating about the possibility of falling away, engage all of your powers to ensure you do not!

    WHAT ABOUT THE CHURCH???

When we say "church," it is important to identify precisely what we mean. The Word of God defines this term, as used in our English Bibles. There is no need for any confusion to exist concerning its meaning. THE CHURCH IS THE BODY OF CHRIST. "And He (Christ Jesus) is the head of THE BODY, the church" (Col 1:18). "For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, HIS BODY, of which he is the Savior" (Eph 5:23). " . . . HIS BODY, which is the church" (Col 1:24). "And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is HIS BODY, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way" (Eph 1:22-23).

As Christ's "body," the church is the exclusive means through which Christ expresses Himself in this world. For this reason, the church is called "the fullness of him who fills everything in every way" (Eph 1:23). Here is where Jesus deposits His graces. Here is where He unveils the truth.

The church is called Christ's "body" because of the communication that takes place between Jesus and His people--like the head to the human body. This is wonderfully expressed in the second chapter of Colossians. While the point in this passage is the failure of some to live in the vitality of this communication, a significant point is made by the Holy Spirit. "He (the person relying on things other that the Savior, verse 18) has lost connection with the Head, from whom the whole body, supported and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows as God causes it to grow" (2:19). This should not surprise us--that people, as part of the body of Christ, are connected to Jesus. We were baptized into His death (Rom 6:3-4), raised to sit together with Him in heavenly places (Eph 2:6), and Christ IN us is the hope of glory (Col 1:27). The BODY OF CHRIST, therefore, consists of those in vital connection with Christ Jesus. They are the people in whom He dwells, and through whom He expresses Himself.

Another view of the church is expressed in First Timothy 3:15. Here the Spirit moves Paul to instruct young Timothy of the importance of our conduct in the body of Christ. "If I am delayed, you will know how people ought to conduct themselves in God's household, which is the church of the living God, THE PILLAR AND FOUNDATION OF THE TRUTH." The church, then, is the appointed custodian of the truth of God. The members comprise God's household, and are strictly charged with protecting and propagating the truth of God.

Concerning Christ's body, we are told emphatically, "There is ONE BODY" (Eph 4:4). There is no room for conjecture or philosophizing on this point. Those who come into Christ are made members of that body. As it is written, "Just as each of us has ONE BODY with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form ONE BODY, and each member belongs to all the others" (Rom 12:4-5). Again, it is written, "who are many, are ONE BODY" (1 Cor 10:17). The Holy Spirit Himself puts people into this body. "For we were all baptized by one Spirit into ONE BODY--whether Jews or Greeks, slave or free--and we were all given the one Spirit to drink" (1 Cor 12:13).

Throughout history, men have argued among themselves about the physical identity of the church. They have sought to equate "one body" with one true and recognizable religious organization. But these -- one body and a recognizable religion organization --  are not at all the same. Religious organizations are of men. The "one body" is a work of God. Men have even sought to identify a PATTERN for the church in the Scriptures--some overt means of recognizing "the one true church." Such men have miserably missed the point. The point of recognition is not an objective for men, but of God and Christ. Christ has "received us to the glory of God" (Rom 15:7). That Divine recognition is what makes the church, THE CHURCH. Without it, only a religious shell exists--pattern or no pattern. People who say "We are THE church," have simply not told the truth. That is not an affirmation to be made by men, for their vision is too small. At the very best, they are "members of the body," for which they are to give thanks. But at no point is an earthly organization brought to the point of being "the one true church," the "true new testament church," or any of the other terms that appeal to men's pride. What is more, if Jesus is not working and expressing Himself through them, they have not held to the Head, and are not part of the body at all.

The church, or body of Christ consists of the people Jesus shepherds, bringing them to God and glory (John 10:14-27; 1 Pet 3:18; Heb 2:10). Those who are not being guided and succored by Him are not part of the church, regardless of their profession, or subscription, to sectarian requirements. Those who are being shepherded and nourished by Jesus ARE part of His body, even though they may not meet with the approval of supposed religious authorities. If Jesus recognizes and dwells within the individual, they are part of His body. If He does not, they are not.

There are individual churches, or bodies of believers. They are not the whole body, but are representatives of the entire body. The Bible calls this being an "example of the believers" (1 Tim 4;12). The whole body is what gives them their significance. They are not what makes the "one body" what it is. This is because the body of Christ consists of those who have passed on as well as those who remain in this world. This is a family with members "in heaven and earth" (Eph 3;15), with the greater part having passed on before us. We presently have fellowship with these departed ones, although it is better comprehended by them than by us. We have, the Spirit says, come to "the spirits of just men made perfect," as distinguished from all those whose names are written in heaven (Heb 12:23). Let it be clear that individual groups of believers have the same character as the whole body--even those who are absent from the body and present with the Lord. They are not an entity of themselves, but a part of the whole.

These are but introductory thoughts on a large and profitable subject. They are designed to assist us in fulfilling the mandate of our Lord concerning the appraisal of things. "Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment" (John 7:24). Those words are especially needful in our assessment of those professing the name of the Lord. We will not look for a visible pattern to identify them. We are too easily deceived by such appearances. if you do not know how else to judge a matter, then your first order of business is to learn how to do so.

   HOW SECURE IS THE BELIEVER?

When we proclaim the possibility of falling away, denying the faith, or becoming a castaway, the denominational pot is brought to a boiling point. Some say when we enter the door of salvation we are locked in. Others, however, are equally absurd in their emphasis on falling away, leaving the impression there is no security for the believer at all. This is not the case, however. I therefore consider it good to confirm the nature of salvation, and the firm provision it contains for confidence and assurance.

A salvation that leaves people wondering whether they are accepted by God and dominated by fear, is no salvation at all. There IS security in Christ, and it is solidly affirmed in scripture. The following texts are not building blocks for a creed, nor have they been inspired by the Holy Spirit to support certain sectarian dogmas. These are Divine affirmations, intended to confirm our faith.

JOHN 10:28-29 -- "And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one." The "them" of reference are Christ's sheep -- those who are believing on Him. Their believing is not something that has occurred in the past, but is in process right now. As the previous verse affirms, "My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me." Such individuals are unquestionably secure. No men can remove them from Christ's protective hand. Additionally, Christ and the trusting one are in the Father's hand, and no man is able to remove them from that shelter. This is what the verse says, and this is what it means. It has no relevance whatsoever to a person who is not hearing and following Jesus, profession notwithstanding. It is our business to believe and embrace this, not spending endless effort to establish what it does NOT mean. What these verses DO mean sustains the soul.

JUDE 24-25 -- "Now unto Him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To the only wise God our Savior, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and for ever. Amen." If there was no danger of falling, we would have no need of this rich consolation. This expression obtains its power in the face of jeopardy, danger, and the liability of human weakness. Faith, however, lifts us beyond human weakness and the power of the devil. God our Savior is able to keep us from falling, AND to present us faultless before His presence in a state of rejoicing. He will do it through our faith--but He WILL do it. Of the believer that is "weak in the faith," immature and possessing an untrained conscience, the Scriptures affirm, "God is able to MAKE him stand" (Rom 14:1-4). Who is the fool who will attempt to take that from struggling believers? If this was not the absolute truth, God would not have said it. Further, if He said it, you can trust in, leaning the weight of your whole soul upon it.

There are many other texts on this subject (ex: Phil 1:6; 1 Pet 1:5; Heb 7:25). All of them hinge upon faith, which is our only connection with the Lord. Anything and everything we have from Him is "by faith." At no point, from beginning to end, does salvation move beyond being "by grace through faith" (Eph 2:5,8). That is what we fight to maintain--our faith. It is the "good fight of faith" (1 Tim 6:12), and no one who fights it will lose.

If you ARE believing, it is not possible to be any more secure that you are. Devote your energies to believing, and God will see to it that you do not fall. But God has made no pledge of safety to a person who is not believing, not trusting, and not relying upon Him. Scriptures contains not one syllable of comfort to anyone who is faithless and unbelieving. But it is replete with words of assurance to those who ARE believing.

The persuasion of security is called "assurance" and "confidence" in God's word--and both of them are tied to faith (Heb 10:22; Eph 3:12). 

We will not argue about whether or not men can "lose their salvation"--an expression that is not even found in Scripture. Salvation is never offered to, or confirmed to be in, anyone who is not believing. Believing is really the issue, not security. That is just a theological smokescreen that has clouded the issue. And, where there is faith, there unquestionably is security.

THE TRINITY

The word "Trinity" is not found in the Scriptures. It was created by men engaged in fierce debate concerning the nature of Deity. Some taught that the phrase "God is One" (Deut 6:4; Mark 12:29; Gal 3:20) meant God is one Person. In their view, the words Father, Son, and Spirit, denoted different aspects of that single Divine Person. Because this teaching was never expressly stated in Scripture, and because it contradicted some plain statements of Scripture, the word "Trinity" was developed to support the persuasion that there are three Persons in, what is commonly called, the Godhead, or Deity.

It is not on the part of wisdom to argue over the word "Trinity," and we are not prepared to do so. However, to affirm that a single Personality is meant by the term "God," is by no means acceptable. Nor, indeed, does it reflect the teaching of Scripture. If this were the case, husband and wife being called "ONE flesh" (Gen 2:24; Eph 5:31) would mean they were one person. Too, the people of God are called "ONE" (1 Cor 10:17; 12:12), which obviously does not mean they are one person. "One," in these cases, means one in essence, or nature and purpose. In fact, it is categorically stated that believers are "many," yet "one" (1 Cor 10:17; 12:20). 

Additionally, Jesus prayed to the Father that those believing in Him would become "ONE" with Him and the Father. "And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one:  in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me" (John 17:22-23). It is the height of absurdity to say that means they were all incorporated into a single person. Yet, that is the unavoidable conclusion to which we are brought if the Father and the Son are one Person.

The Gospel, as well as all aspects of salvation, affirm three distinct personalities identified as "God." The Father "sent the Son" (1 John 4:14), and the Son sent the Spirit (John 16:7). In Christ's promise to send the Spirit, He referred to Himself, the Father, and the Spirit. "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, He shall testify of Me" (John 15:26). Jesus also declared He came to do the will of the Father (John 4:34; Heb 10:5-9), speaking only what the Father told Him to say (John 8:28), and doing only what He saw the Father do (John 8:38). God delivered Jesus up to death (Rom 8:32), raised Him from the dead (Gal 1:1), exalted Him to His right hand (Acts 5:31), and has given Him a name above every name that is named (Phil 2:9).

The Father honors the Son (John 8:54), and the Son honors the Father (John 8:49). Those who serve and follow Jesus will be honored by God (John 12:26). When the end comes, the Son will deliver the Kingdom up to the Father, and He Himself will be subject to the Father (1 Cor 15:24-29). All of this is most peculiar language if the Father, Son, and Spirit are the same Person. In fact, it requires a prolific imagination to conceive of such a circumstance.

When Jesus was baptized, the Son prayed, the Father spoke, and the Spirit descended (Matt 3:16-17). Galatians 4:6 affirms that God send the Spirit of His Son into our hearts. Second Corinthians  13:14 says, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen." "Grace and peace" are repeatedly said to come from both the Father and the Son (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:3; 2 Cor 1:2; Gal 1:3; Eph 1:2, etc.). 

Both the Son and the Spirit intercede for us to the Father (Rom 8:26,27,34). Jesus has reconciled us to God (Rom 5:10). God gives us victory through the Lord Jesus Christ (1 Coir 15:57), causing us to triumph in Him (2 Cor 2:14). Christ gave Himself as an offering and sacrifice to God (Eph 5:2). Jesus is also bringing us "to God" (1 Pet 3:18).

So, are there three distinct Persons? Indeed, there are. They are One in character and in purpose. There is no division between them, and they work in perfect concert with one another. Let men put behind them foolish theologies that paint views of God that are contradicted so clearly by the very manner and words of Scripture. If men cannot comprehend this, then let them say they do not understand. But let them cease from misrepresenting God. After all, God is going to "judge the world through that Man, whereof He has given assurance to all men, in that He hath raised Him from the dead" (Acts 17:31). That will be a day of immense embarrassment to those who have perpetrated the teaching that the Father, Son, and Spirit, are one Person.
