Britt Prince

Pastor Britt Prince was born and reared in Vicksburg, Mississippi, USA. He has been involved in full time ministry since 1994, and has served as Pastor of New Destiny Church in Richland, Mississippi, since 1996. He has an affinity toward research and a passion for truth that motivates him to deal with difficult and unorthodox subjects. His books are not designed to be "feel good" messages. They are designed to inspire change. His first Bible study, "The Pentecostal Experience", (1998) has over 100,000 copies in circulation in English and has been translated and published in ten other languages. His second study, "The Godhead Revealed" (2001), has been used by many to gain a clearer understanding of who God really is. In 2012, Britt revised and expanded "The Godhead Revealed" and authored two new studies, "New Birth" and "The Gospel Revealed".

    The Godhead Revealed

    Lesson 1

    The Godhead is one of the most difficult, yet simplest subjects in the Bible to understand. Some of the greatest minds in our world have stumbled while others with less scholastic ability have understood it clearly.

    Why? Because God has hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed it unto babes (Luke 10:21).

    God expects us to know who He is and to worship Him with understanding. The scriptures affirm that the Godhead is without excuse (Romans 1:20).

    Unfortunately, the subject of the Godhead has been greatly complicated by historical church creeds that were developed by church councils during the early days of church history. These creeds have left Christendom with a lack of understanding of

    the Godhead.

    These councils and creeds are revered by many today as being infallible. Yet, a closer look would prove that their concept of God is non-biblical.

    Two Views

    Basically, there are only two views of the Godhead being taught in mainstream Christianity:

    1.    Oneness (Monotheism)

    2.    The Trinity

    BRIEF DEFINITIONS

    The Oneness doctrine teaches there is one supreme eternal spirit, known as the Father, who manifested Himself in flesh as the Son, Jesus Christ. God also manifested Himself as the Holy Spirit that comes to dwell inside of mankind. Thus, in short, God is the Father in creation, the Son in redemption, and the Holy Ghost in regeneration; one God operating simultaneously as three manifestations.

    Modern Oneness Theology does not endorse much of earlier Oneness Theology since censorship was practiced and Oneness documents were distorted and misrepresented by the biased victors of debates.

    Moreover, ancient manuscripts were often changed (interpolations) by later copyists to support their doctrines.

    The Trinity doctrine teaches there are three persons in the Godhead. The names that are given to these three persons are: God the Father; God the Son; and God the Holy Ghost. Yet, they deny they believe in three separate Gods (Tritheism). 

    In explaining their beliefs, proponents of The Trinity waffle between Oneness terms and Tritheistic. Ultimately, they resort to stating that The Trinity is a mystery our finite human minds cannot fully comprehend.

    There is a division among those who profess to believe The Trinity. Some believe outright Tritheism while others have a Oneness concept but simply apply the term Trinity to their beliefs.

    LET’S EVALUATE BOTH VIEWS CLOSELY

    Oneness view: Both Old Testament Jewish believers and New Testament Oneness believers derive their beliefs from:

    Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God is one LORD:

    Jesus declared this was …the first of all the commandments (Mark 12:29).

    Jesus further endorsed this concept in His conversation with a Samaritan Woman.

    John 4:22 Ye worship ye know
