Hey everybody, Pastor Steven Anderson here from Faithful Word Baptist Church in Tempe,
Arizona with another Trinity moment proving that the Trinity is biblical and that oneness or
modalist doctrine is a lie. Today, 2nd John, verse 3, the Bible reads, Grace be with you,
mercy and peace from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father,
in truth and love. It's pretty obvious from this verse as from hundreds of other verses in the
Bible that the Father and the Son are not the same person. You know, Jesus Christ is the Son
of the Father. There's God the Father and then there's Jesus. It'd be pretty weird to read this
verse and walk away saying, oh, it's just the same person in two different modes. That doesn't make
any sense. Now, another thing I would encourage you to do if you're mixed up on this doctrine,
just look up every time the term God the Father is used. And what you'll find in the New Testament
is that when the term God the Father, those three words together just like that, God the
Father is used, you'll notice that it's in contrast with Jesus. There's God the Father
and there's Jesus. Okay, so that would make absolutely no sense if the name of God the
Father is Jesus as this oneness or modalist doctrine teaches. They say the name of the
Father is Jesus. Okay, that that name Jesus is the name of the Holy Ghost and God the Father and so
forth. That would make no sense to constantly contrast God the Father with Jesus if God the
Father is Jesus. God the Father is not Jesus. Jesus Christ is God the Son, the Son of God,
but he is not God the Father. Jesus is God, of course. There's no question about that,
that he is fully God, but he is not God the Father, he is the Son. And all the verses that
mention God the Father prove that. If you just take a plain reading of this text,
it's pretty obvious that's what's being said.
