Top Highlights
“The Arians professed great adoration for Christ, even acknowledging His preexistence, but, believing Him to be a creation of God, they rejected the truth of His eternal preexistence. In more recent times the controversy has been with the Socinians and their successors, the Unitarians, all of whom have sought to retain the worthy name Christian while dishonoring the One whose name they espouse.” (Pages 9–10)
“The Socinian distinction between the words deity and divinity and their claim that Christ was not deity but was divinity only in the sense that He partook of divine elements must be rejected.” (Page 9)
“Fifth, the Angel of Yahweh promised to do what only deity can do” (Page 19)
“Second, the Angel of Yahweh was addressed as deity” (Page 18)
“The first step in the proof that the Lord Jesus Christ has had equal and rightful place in the Godhead is taken when one recognizes the biblical fact that Christ existed before He came into the world in human form.” (Page 10)
