The Lost God of Christ

In his fascinating new book, The Lost God of Christ, Anthony Fotia unravels the mystery of how the teachings of Jesus were cast aside to create room for the doctrine of the Trinity, also known as the Godhead.This manmade doctrine, while having defined mainstream Christianity for centuries, isn't supported by Christ's words specifically, or the Bible generally. The Trinity presupposes the existence of a God with one essence but three persons; but Jesus never claimed equality with his Father, and the Spirit is elevated to a level fully unknown in Scripture. Written for believers as well as anyone interested in religious history, this book systematically unravels the tapestry on which the Trinity has been hung to reveal the true intent of Jesus. In the process it also dismantles the very foundation on which the Oneness doctrine rests. The Oneness doctrine asserts that God has revealed himself in three modes: first as the God of the Old Testament, then as Jesus, and finally as the Holy Spirit. This modern form of the ancient heresy known as modalism, while not as widely held as the Trinity doctrine, is as misguided today as it was when it first saw daylight in the early years of the church.Through a careful and thought provoking process, Fotia fearlessly restores, not only God, but also God's name-Yahweh-to its full glory as intended in Scripture. In the process he reveals the true heart of Jesus as it pertains to his Father-and to his followers.Discover what Jesus meant when he said: "Why do you call me good? No one is good except God alone." Luke 18:19"Trust in God, and trust also in me." John 14:1"I am going to the Father, who is greater than I am." John 14:28"I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." John 20:17 "'You must love [Yahweh]... your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment." Matthew 22:37-38Detractors of the Trinity call it warmed-over polytheism. Trinitarians call the Oneness doctrine heretical. They both right...and wrong. Fotia uncovers the truth in an easy to read style that is sure to captivate even the most novice students of the Bible. Come on a journey of discovery and learn what Christ believed and taught to his followers about God...his God.
