Knowing the One True God

Everything the institute has written on the identity of God — the Father who alone is the one true God, the divinity and Sonship of His only begotten Son, the Holy Spirit who is their own presence, and the trinity weighed in the light of Scripture — gathered into one house.

The doctrine of God

Who God is, from the ground up — the Father alone the one true God, in Scripture’s own words and the faith once delivered.

Doctrine

The Godhead

The Father, the only true God; His only begotten Son; and the Spirit who is their own presence — the foundation the whole collection rests on.

Doctrine study

Doctrine study

Answering the Objections

The texts most often raised against the one God and His begotten Son, taken up one by one and answered from Scripture.

The divinity and Sonship of Christ

Fully divine because truly the Son — begotten of the Father before all worlds, not created, not a mode, but God’s own Son.

Bible study

Doctrine study

Michael the Archangel

Why the Prince of the host, “one like God,” is the Son before His incarnation — and why the answer is finally the gospel.

The Holy Spirit

Not a third stranger but the very presence and life of the Father and the Son, poured into the believer — what Scripture actually says.

Doctrine study

The Spirit Shall Not Speak of Himself

Christ’s own definition of the Comforter in John 14–16 — the Spirit as His abiding presence, not a separate divine person.

The Holy Spirit, in Ellen White’s Words

Her own published statements on the Spirit, gathered and weighed — read in her words rather than through a later compilation.

Common misconception

Who Is the “Other” Comforter?

John 14 promised “another Comforter” — and Christ said it would be Himself, come again to the believer, not a different Person.

The trinity examined

Where the three-in-one doctrine came from, and whether the New Testament teaches it — history and Scripture, read with open eyes.

The Triad Before the Trinity

The pagan triads that came centuries before the creed — the historical backdrop to the doctrine the pioneers refused.

Does the Trinity Show Up in the New Testament?

An audit of the apostles’ own greetings — twenty-seven books that name the Father and the Son as the source of grace, and no third.

The proof-texts answered

The handful of verses raised to prove a trinity, each read in its own context — what they say, and what they do not.

The Witness of the Three

The most-quoted trinity proof text — and the manuscript record that shows where it came from.

John 20:28

My Lord and My God

The Baptismal Formula

The words of the commission read in the light of how the apostles actually baptized in the book of Acts.

Isaiah 48:16

The Lord God and His Spirit

A favorite Old Testament proof text examined — one Sender, the Father, with the Spirit that accompanies but does not co-send.

1 John 4

The Test of Antichrist

The apostle’s own test of every spirit — and how the trinity doctrine fares when measured by it.
