The truth be known, prior to 1980 you almost never heard that Jesus was God. I think this is a new doctrine that has taken off. I believe he is God’s only begotton son. I think that the obession that some have for saying that Jesus is God acutally takes away from Jesus and actually delutes the real meaning of what he did and why he came to earth and also delutes the love that the Father had for his son and that the son had for his father. By insisiting that Jesus is God, I believe meaning is actually taken away from what really happened.

Really? How interesting. I hadn’t heard that. Have you found anything around that discusses this shift that you perceive? Any further information?

Some of my favorit hymns was

"Holy Holy Holy"

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God Almighty!
Unto everlasting days our song shall rise to Thee;
Holy, Holy, Holy, Merciful and Mighty!
God in Three Persons, blessed Trinity!

"Abba, Father," we approach Thee

"Abba, Father," we approach Thee
In our Savior's precious name.
We, Thy children, here assembling,
Now the promised blessing claim.
From our guilt His blood has washed us,
'Tis through Him our souls draw nigh,
And Thy Spirit too has taught us
"Abba, Father," thus to cry.

I think I know what you are talking about when I was in main stream they never ever gone into explaining this contortion view they have now!

They never dwell on the Trinity strutcture on, many of the old hymns reflect God as 3 Persons, it seems many were old timers disappoint as time went by the old hymns were not the top 40 anymore, and I have no clue what that bland stuff they sing today, gettings people waving thier hands over their heads like bunch of zombies!

The god from the underworld is one, but Heavenly Father has a family which the God I worship.

On the Christian forum the Nicene Creed rules, and the Apostles creed has been Persona Non Gratis

They can among themselves say it aint so, but those of us who are old enought remember all too well!:)
