About this listen

The biblical revelation of the one true God, including the identity of Jesus Christ as God manifest in the flesh, is the foundation of the Christian faith.

The Oneness of God is a thorough biblical exposition of the oneness of God and the deity of Jesus Christ, with answers to objections and explanations of difficult passages of Scripture. The author's treatment of the oneness of God is simple, but the truths are profound, scholarly, and priceless.

The Oneness doctrine is a well meaning attempt to overcome the inherent confusion and tendency to Tritheism of the Trinity doctrine. As such it retains the notion that Jesus is God manifest in human flesh which is no different to Trinitarian teaching except that traditional T doctrine insists that the divine sonship is an eternal reality of YHWH which particularly in Reformed thinking is an essential component of the 'blood of the eternal covenant'; the question being asked is how is the son not eternal when his sonship is integral to the covenant. The obvious and reasonable answer is prophecy in its nature prefigures and Hebrews being post Christ speaks to what is; alas though this would allow too much for then it might be insisted that Jesus being the same 'yesterday, today, and forever' can only be referring to his Resurrected Reality, and of course there was no Christ until his anointing.
Again, Oneness utilises the 2natures doctrine to dance around awkward texts in a desperate bid to insist on Jesus' essential deity, clinging to Colossians 2:9 as fervently as Heston his gun at a 2nd amendment rally; skipping over the problem that if all the fulness dwells in Christ where then the Father? No, every faithful expositor has to read such statements understanding that Heaven and Earth cannot contain Jehovah who fills such, and so understand that Paul is only insisting that as he says elsewhere Christ is MADE unto us wisdom & co.
Now there is a website called the onenessofgod which has moved past the logical and scriptural inconsistencies of both Oneness and T readings of scripture to recover the truth that Christ is indeed 'a man who has told you (and us) the truth', and proclaims the scriptural teaching that God was indeed made manifest by Christ's teaching, that it is this teaching there is that 'word of life' which was with the Father at the beginning, and so God WAS in Christ but now Jesus having been raised by the Father is seated at his right hand as our Lord and our priest forever. Yet I would suggest that the kingdom has indeed been handed back to the Father as all prophecy concerning Israel was concluded in 70AD, and thus we are in the fully ratified New Covenant.
I would recommend this book as it is to be hoped that the process of questioning and study accompanied by prayer is always to be encouraged for it by such that we all might come 'unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ'
I must mention that Oneness proponents love 1Timothy 3:16 and never mention that this is only in the Byzantine chain of texts, that it is more likely as in the Vulgate (the original divinely inspired translation surely?) great is the mystery of piety which was manifest in the flesh & co. this at least makes complete sense as a statement as Jesus was absolutely faithful unto death, was vindicated in the Spirit by being raised up as 'it was not possible that death should hold him' and witnessed by angels before being preached to the Gentiles.
