Chapter 9: Rationalization of Mankind

Page 9

You already learned from Scripture that:

1. God does not change 2. God does not repent

Therefore, the author’s arguments are without merit or foundation when it comes to God’s Word in these two regards. Then, there are the crystal clear words of Jesus concerning his Father and God. Remember,

Jesus telling us that his God is also our Father and God? Remember Jesus telling us that we are his brother or sister if we too will do God’s will? Well then, what gives with this book?

What gives is the need within established Christianity to supply a plausible intellectual rationalization that fully supports the trinity doctrine since Scripture itself does not support such a doctrine.

The Trinity Doctrine Needs Rationalization!

If you really want to understand Christianity and its rationalization and arguments for the trinity and other doctrines, this is the book to read. Miles cites plenty of Scripture and does his best to present a reasonable

rationalization of the trinity. However, Miles has God doing the following:

1. Changing 2. Repenting

3. Needing a way to fail [p222] 4 4. Talking to Himself 5. Committing Suicide 6. Breaking Promises

7. 100% Man and 100% God

“That the Son and the Father are identical gives Jesus’ prayers a peculiarly contemporary cast inasmuch as he is praying to himself …”
