Text of story: A Christian church invites 7th day Adventist Pastor to preach every Sunday afternoon and explain why Sunday is not the day Christians should worship. But after 84 Sundays in a row, the Adventist's fellow Pastors charged that he was breaking the Sabbath and keeping Sunday Holy by doing so. They said to him, "We argue that Paul did not keep Sunday because he was invited to preach in the Jewish synagogue by the Jews. If we as Adventists argue that Paul did not meet with Christians on Sunday because he was preaching Jesus to the Jews in their synagogues on the Sabbath, then it follows (being consistent) that you must be breaking the Sabbath day by preaching to apostate Christians on Sunday". The Adventist Pastor was immediately fired for being a bad example and destroying the force of their deceptive arguments. ... ...

268: Indwelling of the Holy Spirit
This notion of limiting the "Baptism of the Holy Spirit" to the apostles ONLY was a false theology developed last century to refute modern day Pentecostals and Charismatics who claim to have miraculous power of the Holy Spirit like the first century church. It was never successful in countering charismatics, but it distorted the theology of the brethren in its wake and mislead hundreds of thousands into error. 3. The entire structure is based upon a false reading of italicised words in the KJV of John 3:34 to wrongly imply that the Holy Spirit was given TO JESUS without measure. "God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him" (KJV). The key words UNTO HIM are lacking in the Greek. a. The ... Holy Spirit in the Old Testament are also used in the New Testament. 3.

So how then did a Trinitarian doctrine come about? It gradually evolved and gained momentum in the late first, second and third centuries as pagans, who had converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some of their pagan beliefs and practices. Trinitarianism then was confirmed at Nicaea in 325 by Church bishops out of political expediency" (Dr. Victor Paul Wierwille, Arian, Leader of The Way International, Jesus Christ is Not God, p. 25-26) "Long before the founding of Christianity the idea of a triune god or a god-in-three persons was a common belief in ancient religions. Although many of these religions had many minor deities, they distinctly acknowledged that there was one supreme God who consisted of three persons or essences. The Babylonians used an equilateral triangle to represent this three-in-one god, now the symbol of the modern three-in-one believers."

Future generations have tended to dub them "Semi-Arian."

(A Short History of the Early Church, Dr. H. R.

Further, Anti-trinitarians mislead the reader with the quote they supply about Justin Martyr.

In other words, Boer is saying that Justin's view ... This mystery aspect of the person of our Lord has never been lost in genuine Christianity.

Being aided in the study of the Scriptures, and her work as a religious teacher, by the special enlightenment of the Spirit of God, she is peculiarly qualified to present the facts of the Life and Ministry of Christ, in connection with the divine plan of human redemption, and to practically apply the lessons of Jesus to the simple duties of life [italics added]. One of the most pleasing features of this book is the plain and simple language with which the author clothes thoughts that glow with truth and beauty. 1 A lot of trouble and embarrassment would have been avoided in years to come if a few others than the "Spirit of God" had gotten some credit. Although the Scriptures do make it plain that every good and perfect gift comes from God, some of Ellen's gifts of writing were found to have come through quite a few human sources. In the late 1970s Robert W. Olson, for the White Estate (which is always pushed to keep its readers and the church members up to date on such things), issued ... ...

295: Biblical Trinity is not borrowed from the pagans!
... In the first two centuries a series of different answers to this question stood in juxtaposition; at first none of them was thought through speculatively. The diversity in interpretation of the Trinity was conditioned especially through the understanding of the figure of Jesus Christ. According to the theology of the Gospel According to John, the divinity of Jesus Christ constituted the departure point for understanding his person and efficacy. (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1979, Christianity, Vol. 4, p.485) At the same time, the Christian church insists that God is One in "substance" (Latin substantia, existence or inner essence), and thus combines in it "mystery" (a formula or conception which really transcends human understanding) the truths set forth in the Holy Scriptures.

... In AD 354, Philocalus wrote a Christian martyrology that dates the nativity of Jesus Christ on December 25, and cites an earlier work as backup. From this we can deduce that Christmas was celebrated on the present date as early as AD 335 in Rome. It may be that Christmas was set on this day to supplant the pagan feast, or it may simply be a coincidence. Hippolytus and Tertullian, two early church fathers who lived before the Nicene Council set up our present method of determining the date of Easter, used March 25 as the date of Easter.
