Sabelianisme: Perbedaan antara revisi

Sekian banyak pertukaran doktrinal di antara kaum Modalis dan penganut doktrin Tritunggal serupa dengan yang dipaparkan di atas. Nas-nas seperti Kejadian 1:26-27; Kejadian 16:11-13; Kejadian 32:24,30; Hakim-Hakim 6:11-16; Yesaya 48:16; Zakharia 2:8-9; Matius 3:16-17; Markus 13:32; Lukas 12:10; Yohanes 5:18-27; Yohanes 14:26-28; Yohanes 15:26; Yohanes 16:13-16; Yohanes 17:5,20-24; Kisah Para Rasul 1:6-9; dan Ibrani 1:1-3,8-10 dirujuk penganut dokrin Tritunggal sebagai nas-nas yang mengukuhkan keimanan bahwa kewujudan satu Allah Yang Mahaesa itu adalah suatu '''persekutuan''' Bapa [Allah], Putra [Firman Allah], dan Roh Kudus [Roh Allah] yang bersifat kekal, pribadi, dan saling bersemayam satu di dalam yang lain. Untuk menjelaskan kenyataan bahwa tidak ada kata ''Tritunggal'' tidak tercantum di dalam Kitab Suci, penganut doktrin Tritungal menandaskan bahwa bahasa doktrin di luar Alkitab sering kali merangkum pemahaman kita akan Kitab Suci secara singkat dan jelas—contoh lainnya adalah kata-kata seperti ''modalisme'', ''moda'', dan ''peran''—dan bahwa pemakaian bahasa semacam itu tidak dengan sendirinya menampakkan keakuratan atau ketidakakuratan.<!-- Further, the accusative implication that the word ''Trinity'' gained common use apart from careful and pious fidelity to scripture may be associated with [[ad hominem]] argumentation. Hippolytus described his own response to Noetus' doctrine, claiming the truth to be more evident than either of the two mutually opposed views of [[Arianism]] and Sabellianism : <blockquote>In this way, then, they choose to set forth these things, and they make use only of one class of passages; just in the same one-sided manner that Theodotus employed when he sought to prove that Christ was a mere man. But neither has the one party nor the other understood the matter rightly, as the Scriptures themselves confute their senselessness, and attest the truth. See, brethren, what a rash and audacious dogma they have introduced... For who will not say that there is one God? Yet he will not on that account deny the economy [i.e., the number and disposition of persons in the Trinity]. The proper way, therefore, to deal with the question is first of all to refute the interpretation put upon these passages by these men, and then to explain their real meaning.<ref name="Against the Heresy of Noetus"/></blockquote>

 

A comparison of the above statement by Tertullian with the following example statement made by Oneness Pentecostals today is striking: "Jesus is the Son of God according to the flesh... and the very God Himself according to the Spirit...."<ref name="The God Head">{{cite web|title=The God Head|url=http://www.theapostolicwayupcff.com/page/the_god_head|website=theapostolicwayupcff.com|access-date=29 May 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|last1=Skynner|first1=Robert|title=Answering Oneness Pentecostals: Colossians 2:9|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl2OqOsYLUc| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524034505/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zl2OqOsYLUc&gl=US&hl=en| archive-date=2020-05-24 | url-status=dead|website=YouTube|access-date=29 May 2017}}</ref>
