New cards

unitarianism

maintains that God is only one divine person (the Father) and denies that Jesus Christ is God in that sense

New cards

modalism

  • The belief that there is one God in substance and person, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three successive functions, or modes, of that God but not distinct persons 

  • In the Old Testament times, God appeared as the Father. At the Incarnation he showed up as the Son. and after Jesus’ ascension, he manifested himself as the holy spirit. Modalism teaches that these modes are consecutive, never simultaneous

sabellianism

  • Another way of expressing a modalistic view of God 

  • Sabellius, a third century priest, argued that God is like an actor wearing several masks. First, the mask of the Father, then the mask of the Son, and finally the mask of the Holy Spirit. But behind these masks is just one person

New cards

tritheism

This heresy posits that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are three separate and distinct gods, rather than one God existing in three persons.
