The Identity of Jesus Christ
is my throne, and earth is my footstool: what house will ye build me? saith the Lord: or what is the place of my rest?" From this passage of Scripture we learn that God cannot be limited to length, breadth, and height. (See also Isaiah 66:1-2; Jeremiah 23:24; Acts 17:24.) And King Solomon acknowledged, "But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain
thee" (I Kings 8:27). (See II Chronicles 2:6.)
God is not confined to any certain place physi
cally. He is Spirit, filling all the heavens, the earth, under the earth, and even beyond hell (Psalml 39:7-12).
Yet many are misled by the story of the three angels who came to Abraham in Genesis 18 and be lieve that God is a trinity constituting three co-equal, co-existing, and co-eternal divine persons. Church history tells us that the 318 theologians assembled in
Nicaea in A.D. 325 voted in support of the doctrine of co-equality of the Father and Son, and the Council of Constantinople in A.D. 381 adopted the doctrine of the Trinity. Henceforth it is widely believed among many people. Trinitarians further teach that these three "divine persons" bear their own name. Thus they teach that the titles Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are their respective eternal names. Many Trinitarians have also ratified the representation of each ofthese three so-called divine persons in definite figures, in dicating that each of the three has some type of separate, individual forms.
