Trinity Revisited

I have presented many articles from others on the trinity in the past and I am going to do so now, once again. Why? Because there is no such thing as God being Jesus or Jesus being God in the flesh. There has been way to much teaching ( falsely ) on this subject so much so that even the Trinitarians don't always have the same viewpoint. “For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous”  Romans 5:19    I would think that the above verse would be pretty self-explanatory but it seems as if many pastors,preachers, and whatever have a hard time with the verse or that they are ignoring it all together.     The reason for the varying theories is that the New Testament does not set forth a “theory of atonement,” it just states the facts of the case, i.e., that Christ’s death paid for sin. Scripture makes many and varied references to the atoning work of Christ. Christ is called a “sacrifice” (Eph. 5:2; Heb. 9:26), a “sin offering” (Isa. 53:10; 2 Cor. 5:21 [NIV alternate reading]), a “ransom” (Matt. 20:28; 1 Tim. 2:6; Heb. 9:15) and an “atoning sacrifice” (Rom. 3:25; 1 John 2:2; 4:10).     We do not see the need or reason to build a “theory of atonement” when none is offered in the Word of God. The words of the Word are sufficient. As far as the subject of this article is concerned, the most important conclusion that can be drawn from what is revealed in the Word of God is that it is unbiblical to assert that Christ had to be God to pay for the sins of mankind when the Bible explicitly says that payment for sin came “by man.”    Biblical Unitarian   Technorati tags: The Trinity, God, Jesus
