During a recent sermon at The Potter’s House in Dallas, T.D. Jakes suggested that when God breathed life into Adam, He “breathed Eve into Adam,” and that ‘Adam was Eve’s momma’, implying a bizzare maternal role.
We’ve recently written about Jakes when he noted how he disgraced his wife with his twerking comments, joined Joel Osteen for a conference where tickets cost $1000.00 , and is known to frequently wear insanely expensive designer shoes, clothes and watches that cost more than many of his congregants make in a year. (See endnotes)
Jakes, who has continued to be platformed by those at the Christian Post and Charisma News, as well as most other evangelicals like Steven Furtick and Christine Caine, has gone on record saying he doesn’t believe that Jesus is the second person of the Trinity but rather is just a “manifestation” of God. In fact, even now, his church website reads, “There is one God, Creator of all things, infinitely perfect, and eternally existing in three manifestations: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.”
He preaches:
On the seventh day the sabbath Savior rested. On the seventh day the sabbath Savior, he the one who said ‘I am Lord of the sabbath’ the sabbath Savior, rested. But Adam failed while the Savior rested.
And so the sabbath Savior had to break his rest and become the ‘searching Savior.’ And the voice of the Lord walked through the cool of the garden and God said ‘Adam, where art thou?’
He didn’t ask where Eve was because Adam was Eve’s mama. Eve was born out of Adam so when he had breathed the breath of life he had breathed Eve into Adam.
“Male and female created them and called his name Adam.” And the searching Savior knew that if he found Adam he found Eve. So he didn’t say ‘Eve where are thou? Adam where art thou?’ The searching savior broke his rest to find his lost son. What a mighty God we serve.
All things Theology does a great breakdown of why this view is so problematic here: VIDEO ON LINK
He’s still tripping form the last Freak Off party he attended.
Bizarre indeed
Fortunately, I will never have to listen to this charlatan.

I love this guy
Insanity.
God looked for Adam because God had left Adam in charge.
Can someone break this down for me? I don't understand how they aren't the same thing.
What is the argument against the words on his website? This guys seems like a real turd but I'm not seeing where this statement is in error?
Does this come down to semantic disagreements on the word "manifestation"?
13 is a prime number.
Eve was made out of Adams rib, so.....meh, more like gene editing and mRNA work
This is an example of what Elon Musk was talking about when he mentioned “stupid people trying to sound smart.” Trying to overthink something without the necessary cognitive resources.

T.D. Jakes is a jackass.
Per orthodox Christian doctrine, there is one God in three Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit--the Holy Trinity. Each Person of the Trinity is fully divine sharing the one divinity, since there is only one God.
A "manifestation" is an appearance of something. The idea here is that God is not three Persons, but simply "manifests" himself in three different ways, depending on what he wants to accomplish: when he is creating, he manifests as God the Father, when he is being Savior, he manifests as the Son, and when he is sanctifying, he manifests himself as the Holy Spirit. This is a form of the ancient heresy of "modalism" (where God acts in different "modes") which was already condemned as a heresy in the early days of Christianity.
This has to be the whackiest theology I have ever heard. He says Eve was born out of Adam? Think of that. That makes Adam everything from a tranny, (man with a vagina) to a guy with a fetish or incest, having relations with his daughter, ......
Just whacky and crazy.
How bout this. God put Adam to sleep, the first operation, and took one of Adam’s ribs, from his SIDE to make a woman for him.....a helper.
And he took a rib from Adam’s side, not something from above his side or below his side.......but from his side to show female was not inferior to a male or superior to a male...but equal to a male.
Virtually every religion makes a female second class citizens to a male......except the religion of the Bible....of Jesus.
And I won’t even get in to his whacky ideas about the Seventh day Sabbath other than he leaves out the part where God HALLOWED and SANCTIFIED the 7th day. Not the first day or the third day or any other day. Only the 7th day and when God hallows something...no church or man can change it. Only God is holy on God can make something holy. The 7th day Sabbath is in fact....a sanctuary in time. and Jesus said it was MADE FOR MAN and nobody unmakes what God makes. Thank you very much.
Crazy!!
He is a well known heretic, so there is that.
Just cloning around.
Thanks for the explanation. I have some reading to do.
