AND HISTORICAL USAGE IS A SINGULAR GOD OR PERSON IS
WHAT COMES FROM THAT PERSON. IT DOES NOT MEAN
"GOD" NOR THREE GODS.
In religious
terms, divinity
or godhead is
the state of things that come from A supernatural
power or deity, such as A god,
supreme

things are regarded as eternal and based in truth, while

and based in illusion.

Divinity (from Latin divinitas)
refers to the quality, presence, or nature of that which
is divine—a term that, before the rise of monotheism, evoked a broad and
dynamic field of sacred power. In the ancient world,
divinity was not limited to a single deity or abstract ideal but was
recognized in multiple forms: as a radiant
attribute possessed by gods, as a vital force
cushioning nature, and even as a quality
glimpsed in extraordinary humans, laws, or acts. The
Latin divinitas
and its Greek counterparts (theiotēs,
theion) conveyed something
both immanent and awe-inspiring: a presence that could
be felt in thunder, justice, ecstasy, fate, or beauty.
Early Christianity
inherited this language but dramatically reshaped it. With
the rise of theological monotheism, divinity came
increasingly to denote the singular and absolute nature of
God.
The Christianization of the term narrowed its field: what
had once described a quality diffused across nature, fate,
and multiple gods was now claimed
exclusively for the creator God
and, LATER, EXTENDED to Christ and the
Holy Spirit through doctrines
of the Trinity. Over time, this led to a
sharper boundary between the divine and the human, the
sacred and the profane.
|
some churches within the Churches of Christ (among
them the movement's founder, Barton W. Stone),[4]
Some early Christians whose beliefs would have
fallen under 'orthodoxy' in the third and fourth centuries
denied the eternal generation of the Son; they viewed the
Son as having been begotten in time. These include Tertullian and Justin Martyr.[16][17] Tertullian
https://www.pineycom.com/HsTheopTrinity.html
And first, they taught us
with one consent that God made all things out
of nothing; for nothing was coeval with God:
but He being His own place, and wanting
nothing
God, then, having His own
Word internal within His own bowels,
.....begat Him, emitting Him
......along with His own wisdom before all things.
He had this Word as a helper in the things that were
created by
Him, and by
Him He made all things.
He is called
"governing
principle",
because He rules, and is Lord of all things
fashioned by Him.
He, then, being Spirit of God, and governing principle, and wisdom, and power of the highest,
came down upon the
prophets,
and through them spoke of the creation of
the world and of all other things.
(This was the Spirit
of Christ, 1 Peter 1:11; Revelation 19:10)
For the prophets were not
when the world came into existence,
but the wisdom [Spirit in this instance is
Sophia] of God which was in Him, and
........... His holy Word which was always present with Him |
