Basic Theology
Now that you have learned about Worldviews let's look at some of basic theology that forms a Biblical Worldview. Last time we touched briefly on the Triune nature of God. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God. The Bible and Christ Himself taught this important truth. All cults like J.W.'s and Mormons deny the deity of Christ and therefore the Trinity is denied as well. Any group which denies or distorts the Trinity is a cult, period! This would include all "word-faith" teachers like T.D. Jakes and Joel Osteen and the Oneness Pentecostal groups. Remember cults fool true believers who are untaught but their doctrines are false. Much can be said about the importance of this doctrine but here are some key scriptures for you: Matt.28:19; Matt.3:16-17; II Cor.13:14 all contain the Three divine Persons. The deity of the Holy Spirit is found in Acts 5:3-4 and the Deity of Christ is found in numerous texts but note these: Colossians 2:9; Hebrews 1:3-8; I John 5:20; Titus 2:13 and check out what Jesus said in John 8:24 and compare it to Isaiah 43:10-11. Whenever Jesus says, "I Am", He is claiming to be Jehovah God!
