SQ@CC

What is meant by the Oneness of God? Unity of course comes to mind... at least among the orthodox. But to have 'unity' implies that there is more than one. Among the unorthodox, anti-trinitarian groups, including Judaism, the oneness of God means that there is only one person who is God. However, that is not what Scripture teaches. Interestingly, the false doctrine of Monarchianism (anti-trinitarian) doctrine, almost certainly coming from the same Jewish misunderstanding of scripture that drove the crucifixion of Christ for claiming to be God, was confronted in the early church within the 2nd century (between 100 and 200 AD). Even by that time, and with an imperfect distribution of scriptures, the church still knew that to teach that God was just one person was incorrect, if for no other reason than the teachings of Christ himself. Listen in as Brian and Luke give the history, unpack this doctrine, define the trinity from scripture, and provide extensive scriptures that rebut this doctrine that lies at the root of the current modern heresies that are preserved in Oneness Pentecostalism, Apostolic fellowships, as well as some other infamous cults that were founded in the 19th century!
