Tritheistic Godhead Consubstantial Godhead Father Son Spirit
A Modern Creed     The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct individuals, but act together in perfect unity as a single monotheistic unit (the "Godhead") for the common purpose of saving mankind, Jesus Christ having received divine authority from the heavenly Father in his pre-incarnate life. The Father, Son, and Spirit form a "Divine Council" comprised of three separate though united "Divine Beings", making up one Godhead. The Church of Latter-Day Saints
   “All the unfallen beings are now united in regarding God's law as changeless. They support the government of Him, who, to redeem the transgressor, spared not His own Son. His law has been proved faultless.  His government is forever secure. The Father, the Son, and ______  have  been revealed in their true relation to one another. God has given unmistakable evidence of His justice and His love.”Signs of the Times, August 27, 1902  par. 15

Ellen White and the word Trinity She never used the term Trinity or Triune. She never used “God the Son” She never used “God the Holy Spirit” She never corrected those who taught the literal begotten Son of God Did she ever correct anyone who used the term Trinity or Triune God?
John Harvey Kellogg A.G.Daniels confronted him with objections to his proposed book “The Living Temple”  “He [Kellogg] then stated that his former views regarding the trinity had stood in his way of making a clear and absolutely correct statement”Letter to W.C.White, Oct 29, 1903 p. 12
John Harvey Kellogg Resonding to N. Wardner, a Seventh-day Baptist minister, summary of SDA beliefs “We believe in but one Deity, God, who is a unity, not a compound being.” “We repel the charge of ‘trinitarianism’ without the slightest hesitation. We do not believe in a triune God, as before remarked.  Review and Herald, Nov. 25, 1880
John Harvey Kellogg A.G.Daniels confronted him with objections to his proposed book “The Living Temple”  “He [Kellogg] then stated that his former views regarding the trinity had stood in his way of making a clear and absolutely correct statement; but that in a short time he had come to believe in the trinity and could now see pretty clearly where the difficulty was, and believed that he could clear the matter up satisfactorily.        He told me that he now believed in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost”Letter to W.C.White, Oct 29, 1903 p. 12
Ellen White “The sentiments of those who are searching for advanced scientific ideas are not to be trusted. Such representations as the following are made:  ‘The Father is as the light invisible: the Son is as the light embodied; the Spirit is the light shed abroad.’ ‘The Father is like the dew, invisible vapor; the Son is like the dew gathered in beauteous form; the Spirit is like the dew fallen to the seat of life.’ Special Testimonies Series B No. 7 p. 62  Nov. 1905
William Boardman “The Higher Christian Life” Part 2 Chp 1 pp. 201-203, 1858 “The Father is as the light invisible. The Son is as the light embodied. The Spirit is as the light shed down.” “The Father is like the dew in invisible vapor. The Son is like the dew gathered in beauteous form. The Spirit is like the dew fallen to the seat of life.” Quoted virtually verbatim by Ellen White
William Boardman “The Higher Christian Life” Part 2 Chp 1 pp. 201-203, 1858 “These likenings are all imperfect. They rather hide than illustrate the tri-personality of the one God, for they are not persons but things, poor and earthly at best, to represent theliving personalities of the living God.” “They may also illustrate the truth that all the fullness of Him who filleth all in all, dwells in each person of the Triune God.
Ellen White “All these spiritualistic representations are simply nothingness. They are imperfect, untrue. They weaken and diminish the Majesty which no earthy likeness can be compared to. God cannot be compared with the things His hands have made. These are mere earthly things, suffering under the curse of God because of the sins of man. “   ibid
William Boardman The Father isall the fullnessof the Godhead invisible. Ellen White’s Correction The Father isall the fullnessof the Godhead bodily, and is invisible to mortal sight.
William Boardman The Son  isall the fullnessof the Godhead manifested.  Ellen White’s Correction The Son is all the fullnessof the Godhead manifested.  The Word of God declares Him to be “the express image of His person.” “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son”… Here is shown the personality of the Father.
William Boardman The Spirit isall the fullnessof the Godhead making manifest.  Ellen White’s Correction The Comforter that Christ promised to send after He ascended to heaven, is the Spirit in all the fullness of the Godhead, making manifest the power of divine grace to all who receive and believe in Christ as a personal Saviour.
The Father isall the fullnessof the Godhead The Son  isall the fullnessof the Godhead The Spirit isall the fullnessof the Godhead  Ellen White’s Correction The Father isall the fullnessof the Godhead The Son  isall the fullnessof the Godhead The Comforter…is the Spirit in all the fullness
William Boardman The persons are not mere offices, or modes of revelation, but living persons of the living God. Ellen White’s Correction These are the living three personalities of the heavenly trio…
There are three living persons of the heavenly trio. In the name of these three powers,--the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, those who receive Christ by living faith are baptized, and these powerswill cooperate with the obedient subjects of heaven…Ellen G. White: Bible Training School, March 1, 1906

Editor's Notes

  1. Paul’s simple statement of belief in God is the foundation of all church creeds. It is found in 1Cor 8:6.The words are simple yet packed with meaning. We will carefully unpack them by comparing the apostle’s own comments on them, “comparing spiritual things with spiritual.”
  2. Let’s start by observing the context in which Paul makes his declaration of faith in the one God.We “know nothing yet”, we don’t know anything yet, as we ought to know.Now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face! This is God’s promise! Rev 22:4 “And they shall see His face, and His name shall be in their foreheads”If we love God, God knows us. And when He comes and He knocks on our door, and we open the door, He says, “I know you! I will come in and sup with you!” So, those who come knocking on His door after it is shut and He says, “I never knew you” do not really love God.If you love God, He knows you; If you do not love God, He does not know you.God begins the transcript of His character by assuring us that we will need no other god—because I brought you out of the land of Egypt on eagle’s wings, I will supply all your needs; I will be the only God you will ever need. Men have created many gods and many lords. The heathen pantheons are full of them. They worship they know not what.
  3. Now Paul clearly and succinctly describes the one true God.
  4. The Christ-headThe Man-headThe God-head……not a group, but an Authority, HeadmasterGodhead as a group, a committee, a collection of Deity, a trinity is a misconceptionSanctuary in 1844 was a misconception: the earth Godhead is not a trinity, but the one God of whom are all things;Sanctuary is not the earth, but the temple of God built without hands.
  5. We are the members of Christ’s Body, of which He is the Head.
  6. Man is head of the household, the house-band, the protector and provider for the family.
  7. God is the headship of His Son, He has given His Son all things, the Great Provider and Source.
  8. Notice the parallel relationships of Source and Creator, of whom and by whom.
  9. 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
  10. 11:8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
  11. Now the relationship of “for” is discussed. It is based on the sequence of events.Man, Adam, was formed first then the Woman, Eve.Just as Man was made first, then the Sabbath was provided FOR man.
  12. Eve came out of Adam, she was “OF” the man.But then “BY” Eve, the woman, all men have been born.Genesis3:20 And Adam called his wife's name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
