<\/a>\nThe doctrine of God in laymen\u2019s terms \u2014 anchored in the Chalcedonian Christology of 451. Dave Armstrong\u2019s primer on the Holy Trinity, the divinity of Christ, and the deity of the Holy Spirit, built from scores of Bible passages: 50 Old Testament Messianic prophecies, 40 verses naming all three Persons, and more.<\/p>\n [156 pages; completed on 14 November 2012 and published at Lulu on 15 November 2012] To the evangelical Protestant \u201ccult watchers\u201d and \u201ccult researchers\u201d (especially the late Dr. Walter Martin): among whom I first began utilizing the Bible in order to refute non-trinitarian heresies such as Jehovah\u2019s Witnesses, Mormonism<\/a>, Unitarianism, Christian Science, and the United Pentecostal<\/a> Church, way back in 1981. May your \u201ctribe\u201d increase and flourish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The doctrine of God remains as supremely important as ever. If we don\u2019t contend for the correct, orthodox, historical teachings of the Christian, Catholic Church: famously formulated at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 (hence my subtitle), why should we spend time defending any<\/i> theological doctrines?<\/p>\n We can\u2019t afford to get this wrong: our very souls depend on it. St. Paul rebuked the Corinthians early in Church history: \u201cFor if some one comes and preaches another Jesus than the one we preached, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you submit to it readily enough\u201d (2 Corinthians 11:4).<\/p>\n Surely, denial of the deity or divinity of Christ and of the Holy Trinity were among the falsehoods condemned by the Apostle Paul as \u201cdoctrines of demons\u201d (1 Timothy 4:1). We need to know the biblical basis for these beliefs, and what the Church has taught through the centuries (the \u201corthodox\u201d theology of God), in view of historic heresies and recent fashionable nonsense such as open theism and process theology.<\/p>\n As is frequently the case in my books, my overwhelming emphasis will be on biblical argumentation: particularly a listing of many scores of relevant passages (systematic theology). The power of the argument for the orthodox theology of God increases exponentially in a cumulative fashion, the more these passages and cross-references are known and understood.<\/p>\n Additional material will attempt to explain these doctrines in laymen\u2019s terms, so that, by the aid of this book, soaked with Scripture, anyone should be able to defend the biblical truths of the Holy Trinity and Jesus as God the Son: the incarnate God.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/details>\n<\/div>\n Dedication [read above] I.
