Doctrine of the Father (SPT10)

The Synopsis of a Purer Theology (Leiden Synopsis) treats Father and Son together in one disputation. In the first five paragraphs, Leiden establishes all that can be said about the first person without referring to the eternal generation. Sanders and Hurd dig into this doctrine, noting its biblical, doctrinal, and philosophical implications.

The Father is the ONLY true God and God’s spirit testifies that fact in our hearts.
1 John 3:21
Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God;
If you want to see proof do this:
Begin an earnest prayer with “Father God” and pay attention to your heart as you speak the prayer.
Now begin an earnest prayer with “Son God”.
See the difference.
Finally, begin an earnest prayer with “Spirit God”.
Now you have evidence that the Father is the ONLY true God, as Jesus told us in John 17:3
For those of you that say, they felt no difference. The next time you have an opportunity to pray aloud with a body of believers, start the prayer out with “Son God“ and see how that goes over with the other believers.
Now go re-read 1 John 3:21.
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, open the eyes and ears, and hearts of the truly humble to hear the words God put in Jesus’ mouth.
