A Deafening Silence [2 pages]
by David Maas rated at 1.0 (5 votes so far)
Why is there no evidence in the New Testament of Jewish objections to the doctrines of the Trinity, the deity of Christ or the Incarnation? The New Testament records objections to a crucified messiah as well as disputes over circumcision, Sabbath keeping, dietary regulations and eating food offered to idols. Moreover, ideas like the Trinity and God “becoming man” are so unique and difficult to comprehend that one would expect a thoroughgoing teacher like the Apostle Paul to address them constantly, yet nowhere in his epistles is there an example of him attempting to explain the inexplicable to his congregations. Nowhere does Paul discuss how the one God can be “three persons in one” or teach how in Christ Jesus “God became a man.” Such lessons would have required constant repetition.

Unitarian Monotheism

While many agree with the monotheistic faith of the biblical God, few understand His unipersonality. This sermon endeavors to draw out key texts from both the old and new testaments to highlight the truth that has eluded many: that God is in fact a single person. The bible teaches, not Trinitarian monotheism, but rather Unitarian monotheism. (This sermon was originally preached at the Red Words Church on 2-May-2010 in Melbourne, Australia.)
