webdog said:Modalism is probably the most common theological error concerning the nature of God. It is a denial of the Trinity which states that God is a single person who, throughout biblical history, has revealed Himself in three modes, or forms.
Thus, God is a single person who first manifested himself in the mode of the Father in Old Testament times. At the incarnation, the mode was the Son. After Jesus' ascension, the mode is the Holy Spirit. These modes are consecutive and never simultaneous. In other words, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit never all exist at the same time, only one after another. Modalism denies the distinctiveness of the three persons in the Trinity even though it retains the divinity of Christ.
Claiming the command to not have other gods is not intended for Christ is just this, as it would only be intended for the Father
Maybe it is due to my NOT posting much:laugh: However, I do not follow your logic. I understand the definition of Modalism; I do not understand how someone who holds to Modalism and therefore sees Christ as the second mode of God's revelation of himself is equal to Claiming the command to not have other gods is not intended for Christ is just this, as it would be intended for the Father.
I would think a person espousing modalism would see Christ as God in a 'different' mode. I am not as intelligent as some people, but I do try hard:wavey:
Do we need to search the signature tag lines of members? There are some who have quotes by men who were unitarian. Is this not an equally horrible heresy?
