| | God the Father - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Christians call themselves adopted children of God: But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, burn under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. | | | To Christian pluralists, God the Father's relationship with humanity is as a father to children. | | | For most Christians, the person of God the Father is the ultimate, and on occasion the exclusive addressee of prayer, often in the name of Jesus Christ. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Christianity |
| | Christianity is the name given to that definite system of religious belief and practice which was taught by Jesus Christ in the country of Palestine, during the reign of the Roman Emperor, Tiberius, and was promulgated, after its Founder's death, for the acceptance of the whole world, by certain chosen men among His followers. | | | It was the transference of Christianity from a Semitic to a Greek soil that explains, according to Dr. Hatch (Hibbert Lectures, 1888), "why an ethical sermon stood in the forefront of the teaching of Jesus, and a metaphysical creed in the forefront of the Christianity of the fourth century". | | | We gather that the Divine founder meant Christianity to be (1) a universal religion, (2) a perfect religion, (3) a visibly organized religion. |

| | Incarnation |
| | Christians believed that He was the Son of God. | | | The doctrine of the Incarnation of Christ is central to the traditional Christian faith as held by the Catholic Church, the Eastern Orthodox, and most Protestants. | | | While Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism are perhaps the most widely-known traditions to employ this concept within the context of their respective belief systems, they are by no means the only ones to do so. |

| | Many Trinitarian Christians hold that belief in the Trinity is one of the most essential teachings of their faith; many hold that rejection of the Trinity constitutes belief in a different God, and thus excludes one from forgiveness of sins] offered by Christ. | | | In Christianity, one person of God, the Son, is believed to have become incarnate as a human male; however, the other two persons of God are commonly considered to have no gender, since they are not at all physical. | | | In many religions like Christianity, and Islam, it is believed that the God has revealed a version of his message which is final and the only true message through a prophet or messenger. |

| | Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints - Open Encyclopedia |
| | LDS theology states that God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Ghost are three separate and distinct personages that together form the Godhead (as distinct from the Trinity decreed by the First Council of Nicaea in A.D. 325, in response to disagreement in the form of Arianism within the early church). | | | Despite its being a Jesus-centered religion, traditional Christians often do not recognize this nontrinitarian church as a branch of Christianity. | | | In contrast to this, Protestant, Anglican, Roman Catholic, Oriental Orthodox and Eastern Orthodox Christians insist that their religion is monotheistic; that is, God is One in Being (ousia) and simultaneously Three, namely the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, in Persons (hypostases). |

| | Christian theological reflection, on the other hand, is a meditation upon Christian doctrine in the light of present conditions, and it takes place within the life of prayer and the sacraments--within the larger life of the religion. | | | And Christian feminism has become, in the past fifteen years, a largely separate religion from Christianity, a religious exodus for which the agenda of Woman Church could be adduced as primary evidence. | | | If the pretended area of discussion is the language we employ to designate the mystery of the Godhead, the actual theater of operations is the language used in the church to communicate the faith and to evangelize. |

| | Apologetics Press - Why Christianity? Why the Bible? |
| | Christianity preaches a trinity: God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (Matthew 28:18). | | | Thus, even if the different religions did comprehend the same God, worshipping the same God does not legitimize one’s religion or religious practices according to the Bible since the one true God must be worshipped properly, that is, as the Bible prescribes (Colossians 3:17). | | | Amazing as it may seem to those who think that the God of the Bible approves of other religions, the apostles of Christ even condemned those in the Christian age who were going backward, trying to be saved by the Mosaic law, a religion that unquestionably centered on the same God as Christianity (Galatians 5:4). |

| | Witness Lee's, The Economy of God (chapter one) |
| | We know that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are not three different Gods, but one God, who is expressed in three Persons. | | | Both the Judaizers with their religious doctrines and forms and the Gnostics with their philosophies deterred the Christians from following the Lord in the pathway of God's economy. | | | These verses contain two very important phrases as indicated in Greek, the original language of the New Testament: “God's economy” and “missed the mark.” The Apostle Paul was chosen by God to bear the responsibility for God's economy, and he trained his spiritual son, Timothy, in this economy. |

| | Christianity teaches that many of the truths of the New Testament are taught in Hebrew Scripture, but in a "veiled" way that cannot be seen clearly apart from the revelation of Jesus Christ (2 Cor 3:12-16). | | | Thus, it was not seen (until Jesus revealed it by the institution of the Eucharist and his death and resurrection) that the manna in the wilderness was a sign of the Bread of Life (John 6:30-59). | | | Similarly, passages which refer to the Trinity in a mysterious sense are not visible in Judaism as Trinitarian precisely because Judaism is not reading the passages in light of the teaching of Christ. |

| | Apologetics research resources on religious cults and sects - About T.D. Jakes |
| | Christianity affirms one God in three co-existing persons as Father, Son and Holy Spirit; Oneness theology affirms one God in one person, Jesus Christ, in three modes or manifestations. | | | In "Christianity Today" recently, T.D. Jakes said "This small fellowship of churches is not a denomination, and differs in many ways from traditional Apostolic churches." No indication is given on how and where they differ. | | | This teaching came to be known as modalism because it views one God who variously manifests Himself in three modes of existence: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. |

| | Christian apologists such as Justin, Athenagoras, and others who wished to rebut pagan criticisms of their doctrine, defended their faith by claiming that they worshipped the same God as the pagan philosophers. | | | Constantine, though not yet a Christian himself, had effected a reconciliation between the Christian faith and the Roman state, and Christianity became the official religion. | | | within the Godhead, but qualified this by saying, "The son is in the father and the father is in the son by a powerful unity of spirit. |
