TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN • "In the Beginning was the Word" John 1:1 – The explanation is given, taken from Lelio Sozzini's Brief explanation of John Chapter 1 1561 (and developed in Fausto Sozzini's later work of the same name), that the Beginning refers to the Beginning of the Gospel, not the old creation. • "Before Abraham was I am" John 8:58 – is treated that the ego eimi refers to "I am" before "Abraham becomes" (future) many nations in the work of Christ. • "[I] came down from heaven" John 6:38 – is related to being "born of the Virgin" • That Christ was literally dead in the grave for three days – as a proof of Christian mortalism, resurrection and the humanity of Christ. Most early Socinians accepted the infallibility of the New Testament and so accepted the account of the literal virgin birth of Jesus, but many later Socinians (i.e., Unitarians) did not. Socianism and Modalism both believe in these: Unitarian Menotheisrn The Father alone is the only true God and alone eternal The Son did not preexist His humannity The Son was a plan/ an idea in the mind of God before His before his earthly life. The Son is not the Creator, nor is He eternal The Son received Godship and Lordship from the Father The Son acts as God on earth The Father-Son relationshp began at a point in time The son is finite, human Messiah Rejection of ‘God the Son.’ The Son reveals or manifests the Father The Son is prayed to and worshiped • Unitarian Christian Conference USA • Unitarian Christian Emerging Church • Universalist Church of America (consolidated with the American Unitarian Association to form the Unitarian Universalist Association and Unitarian Universalism) Bible Student groups • Christian Millennial Fellowship • Dawn Bible Students Association • Friends of Man • Jehovah's Witnesses • Laymen's Home Missionary Movement • Pastoral Bible Institute 127
TRINITY & OTHER DOCTRINES OF GOD: PROF. M. M. NINAN XIV CHRISTIAN SCIENCE The Church of Christ, Scientist (CCS) Founded in 1879 by Mary Baker Glover Patterson Eddy (1821-1910). Tenets of Christian Science 1. As adherents of Truth, we take the inspired Word of the Bible as our sufficient guide to eternal Life. 2. We acknowledge and adore one supreme and infinite God. We acknowledge His Son, one Christ; the Holy Ghost or divine Comforter; and man in God's image and likeness. 3. We acknowledge God's forgiveness of sin in the destruction of sin and the spiritual understanding that casts out evil as unreal. But the belief in sin is punished so long as the belief lasts. 4. We acknowledge Jesus' atonement as the evidence of divine, efficacious Love, unfolding man's unity with God through Christ Jesus the Way-shower; and we acknowledge that man is saved through Christ, through Truth, Life, and Love as demonstrated by the Galilean Prophet in healing the sick and overcoming sin and death. 5. We acknowledge that the crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection served to uplift faith to understand eternal Life, even the allness of Soul, Spirit, and the nothingness of matter. 128
