	Binitarianism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Binitarianism is a term also adopted to explain a view associated particularly with some branches of the Sabbatarian Church of God, which asserts that there were originally two beings in the Godhead: the Father and the Word that became the Son (Jesus the Christ).
		Binitarians believe that Jesus emptied Himself of His Divinity while in the flesh, citing the same Scriptures which trinitarians cite to the opposite conclusion: that he denied himself the honor and glory he deserved, and hid the fact that he is equal to the Father, in order to serve those who were undeserving.
		Binitarians add to this an assumption that it was only after the resurrection that it was fully true of him, which Paul claimed, that "in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily" (Colossians 2:9) and that Jesus had all power (Colossians 2:10).

		Binitarianism: A view within Christianity that there were originally two beings in the Godhead, the Father and the Word that became the Son (Jesus the Christ).
		Binitarians, like most unitarians and trinitarians, claim their views were held by the original New Testament Church.
		Unlike most unitarians and trinitarians who tend to identify themselves by those terms, binitarians normally do not refer to their belief in the duality of the Godhead, with the Son subordinate to the Father, as binitarianismandmdash;they simply teach the Godhead in a manner that has been termed as binitarianism.

	Eternal Life (No. 133)
		Binitarians (and Ditheists) have tried to get around that by saying the Father was not known in the OT; the OT God was Jesus Christ.
		Thus Binitarianism or Trinitarianism breaches the primary element and those positions alone are enough to disqualify the adherent from eternal life flowing from the first resurrection.
		Binitarians who hold that God and Christ are two separate co-eternal Beings, which is logical Ditheism, and hold to the existence of two True Gods (contrary to Jn.

	The Nature of God (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Binitarianism is found in The Shepherd of Hermas (Lake 1970) as well as the Macedonian heresy of the fourth century.
		The Binitarian statement is never ditheistic in the sense of affirming two separate self-conscious and self-determining individualities in the Godhead.
		Due to rising heresy in Gentile Christendom the Council of Constantinople in CE 381 resolved the matter for Byzantine Christianity with adoption of the Nicene Creed declaring the nature of God to be one divine essence existing in three hypostases, known as the Holy Trinity, reflecting their exegesis of the wording of Hebrews 1:3.

	The Government of God (No. 174)
		Binitarianism was extant in Christianity officially from the Council of Nicea in 325.
		Binitarianism could not exist alone and so Trinitarianism had to be developed to answer the absurdity of two co-eternal and co-equal Gods.
		Binitarians attempt to evade the issue of the doctrine of immortality by denying the metaphysics of the concept of time.

	Summary: Binitarianism and Trinitarianism (No. 76z)
		The Ditheist or Binitarian error is present in many of the offshoots of the Churches of God.
		So Binitarianism is a blatant heresy, assigning co-equality and co-eternality to Jesus with God the Father and claiming only two elohim and no other sons of God.
		The dogma of the Trinity asserted itself firstly as Binitarianism at the Council of Nicea CE 325, and was not fully formulated until CE 381 at Constantinople and finally in 450-1 from Chalcedon.

		According to polytheistic Binitarian doctrine, it was not God that died on the cross, anyway.
		The brand of Binitarianism supported by many WCOG’s is the view of a relatively small group of people who contend that God is one, God is two, God is a family, God is a kingdom, and God is or will be millions and billions of God-beings.
		Binitarians will insist, “Yes!” but then hasten to add that the one who died and who was sacrificed for all mankind was not God, but fully a man.

	Ch 06
		Further, what appears at an early stage in the self-consciousness of Jewish Christianity to be binitarian in terms of its explicit devotion may well have arisen from within what may be described as a basically trinitarian consciousness and knowledge (where knowledge is the Hebraic knowing a person[s] relationally rather than knowing objective facts).
		However, the dynamic experience of the amazing and awesome Descent of the Spirit at the Feast of Pentecost, and the further evidence of his presence and activity in the early church, was the experience of One, who was God unto them as invisible, and he was known primarily through the effects of his presence.
		The fact that it is sometimes binitarian is often simply because the active relation to God is "to the Father through Jesus Christ"; yet here, it may be suggested, the Holy Spirit is present anonymously and invisibly as the One who makes this relation possible and effective.

	The Pre-Existence of Jesus Christ (No. 243)
		This doctrine was adopted as Modalism in Rome but it was biblically incoherent and had to be adapted to become Binitarianism from the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE and then Trinitarianism in 381 CE from Constantinople.
		The heresy of Binitarianism was commenced from this Council.
		The denial of the pre-existence of Christ, as strange as it may seem, is actually another aspect of the heathen doctrines of the worship of the god Attis, in its Binitarian form, where the son is simply an aspect of the god in apposition to the aspect as Father.

		I would not want to use the term Binitarian either, because it is misleading, and clouds what we believe.
		Johnson. It was published by Ambassador College. This is official Church doctrine, before the 1974 changes. It does not use the term, "binitarianism," and I cannot find where it ever uses the words, "two Gods." Duality (of persons in the one God family) is not the same as binitarianism.
		The statement, "He was one of the Persons composing God," does not say two Gods, but two persons composing God, singular. God (Elohim) is a uniplural noun, a group, a family composed of more than one member. "Two Gods" does not represent the historic Worldwide teaching, nor the Bible.

	Binitarianism and Trinitarianism (No. 76)
		In the sermon on Gideon's Force the topic of Binitarianism was addressed as a prelude to the important topic of the Restoration of the Last Days.
		The Binitarian error is as heretical in its way, as is Trinitarianism in its structure, being built on a similar heretical premise.
		In fact, the arguments of Binitarianism largely derive from the false premises of Trinitarianism concerning co-equality and co-eternality.

	Sabbath Message
		The disease of Binitarianism and its logical brother, Trinitarianism, entered the Church in most cases from the US and its offshoots.
		The Binitarian doctrine is actually the doctrine of the worship of a pagan god named Attis in the west and from Rome, and Adonis among the Greeks.
		Thus, Binitarianism is the true doctrine of the pagans developed for introduction to Roman Christianity at Nicea in 325 CE.

	Binitarian View
		I chose to use the term binitarian or binitarianism to describe the correct belief about the Godhead as it is currently used by scholars and is clearer than Semi-Arian (or Semi-Arianism) which, though also historically used (by critics), would not be at all understood by most today.
		Binitarians believe that since Roman Catholics acknowledge that the Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and the Son, that this clearly shows that the Holy Spirit is not a separate divine Being as the Father and the Son are.
		The binitarian position is that the Son is under the authority of the Father, hence this changes nothing as it is consistent with that position and it does show the duality that binitarians profess.

		Some sincere believers admit that polytheism is the worship of "many" gods but say that their worship of two individual Gods ("binitarianism": Father and Son) is not polytheism: it is monotheism.
		The "two-god" hypothesis called "binitarianism" is still polytheism, all arguments to the contrary notwithstanding.
		........Some believers have created another category called "binitarianism." The Latin word bini means "double." Although "binitarianism" is a non-word according to my dictionary, it will be referred to here because many in the Sabbatarian community have adopted the term as a characterization of their belief system over against trinitarianism.

		I decided to do a whole page about this doctrine because it is so deceptive and seemingly so close to scripture and scripture is used. But a closer look at this doctrine reveals the binitarianism behind it and the worship of the creation, rather than the Creator. This is a serious doctrinal flaw..
		Binitarianism requires a separate Father and Son, but scripture denies more than one person or deity.
		If the church according to their doctrine is the Son of God and is with the Father that equates into binitarianism by separating the Son and the Father. As your own tape says, there is only ONE ON THE THRONE. You are being contradictory by uplifting the church and degrading the Son(UNIQUE SON).

	The Unitarian/Trinitarian Wars (No. 268)
		The Creed reconstructed from Constantinople itself, introduces the concept of Binitarianism essential to the formulation of the Trinity and introduces the aberration that Christ was the "only begotten of the Father" and hence removes the promise of the elect as begotten sons of God.
		The Binitarians were a new faction that had a new and developed doctrine based on the pagan theology of the Triune God, which came in from the worship of Attis in Rome and Adonis among the Greeks.
		He was succeeded as emperor by the Spanish born Theodosius, who was the first Athanasian or Binitarian and later Trinitarian emperor, to sit on the throne being appointed by Gratian.

	The Names of God (No. 116)
		The desire to protect the sovereignty of God and defend the Monotheism of the biblical structure from the errors of Binitarianism and Trinitarianism inherent in the dual power heresy, saw Judaism gradually conceal the fact of the dual and subordinate structure of the way God dealt with Israel.
		Binitarians attempt to confine this statement to two entities, namely God as Father and Christ, however this is impossible given the multiple applications of Elohim and the texts in Job which refer to multiple sons present at the creation (Job 1:6; 2:1; 38:4-7).
		Those texts show that Binitarianism is as big a lie as Trinitarianism and limits the understanding of our destiny and tries to divorce us from our inheritance, which is to become coheirs equal with Christ.
