Fortman, Edmund: The Triune God Although they identify Fortman as a Catholic, they project the false impression that Fortman either rejects trinity, or that he is willing to accept trinity without any Bible support for the doctrine. The Watchtower is a master at "the slight of hand" technique in quoting from orthodox trinitarian sources. Documentation ... a doctrine of the Triune God, we look first to the Eastern Church where most of this development took place. The Apostolic Fathers were witnesses to the Biblical data and the traditional faith rather than theologians, but they furnished useful insights into the lines along which the Church's unconscious theology was developing. Most of them indicated quite clearly a belief in the divinity of Christ, less clearly a belief in the distinct personality and divinity of the Holy Spirit. They gave solid evidence of a belief in three pre-existent 'beings,' but they furnished no trinitarian doctrine, no awareness of a trinitarian problem.

Acceptance of the "disputed" NT books: Hebrews, 2 Peter, James ... The majority of New Testament books were universally accepted by about 100 AD, but it appears that a small number of books were "disputed". A conservative, bible believing perspective!

Church Creeds: The fuel of religious division In it, three Protestant clergymen were asked: "What is a Christian?" They responded by defining a Christian as one who believes in the Apostles Creed, the Holy Trinity, in God, the Divinity of Christ, and who subscribes to a confession of faith. Notice this definition denies to those refusing to accept the Apostles Creed and a denominational confession the name Christian. By it neither Peter nor Paul would qualify as a follower of Jesus, since such creeds were unknown in the First Century. In the decades following the death of John, the last living apostle, the early Church faced a difficult problem. False doctrines such as Gnosticism and Monticism plagued the body ...

Why Are There So Many Different Churches? Ephesians 1:22,23 & 4:4-6. A simple reading of the New Testament reveals that in bible times, there was only one church, and that all faithful Christians were a part of that one great body of believers (I Corinthians 12:12-13). Although the term churches is occasionally used in the New Testament to refer to a plurality of individual congregations in different locations, such as the seven churches of Asia (Revelations 2:3). The Bible is quick to point out that the same doctrine was preached in all of them (I Corinthians 4:17). Perhaps you're wondering in view of the unity of the first century why there are so many conflicting denominations and by what authority they exist. The purpose of this lesson then is not to be critical of sincerity of good intentions of anyone, but to find a bible answer for these important questions.
