Article Summary:

This 2011 book is one of a series of four addressing criticisms by Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes. This book addresses various points of truth concerning the Divine Trinity, including:

  • the use of the word persons to describe the Three of the Godhead;
  • the coinherence and co-working of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit;
  • whether Isaiah 9:6 prophesies that the “Son given to us” is the “Eternal Father”; and
  • whether the Apostle Paul said the Lord Jesus Christ is the Spirit in 2 Corinthians 3:17.

Brothers, Hear Our Defense (2) – Concerning the Divine Trinity

This book contains a series of articles addressing critical points of truth concerning the Divine Trinity. The articles in this book address the errors of:

  • Insisting on use of the word person(s) as a litmus test of orthodoxy;
  • Accusing those who affirm the coinherence and co-working of the Three of the Divine Trinity of teaching heresy;
  • Denying the plain assertion in Isaiah 9:6 that the Son is the eternal Father; and
  • Denying the clear teaching of the Apostle Paul in 2 Corinthians 3:17 that the Lord Jesus Christ is the Spirit.

This book also serves as a critique of the apologetic methods used by Norman Geisler and Ron Rhodes. It highlights serious misrepresentations in their criticisms of Witness Lee and the local churches as well as some grave deficiencies in their understanding of biblical truth. This critique should call forth a determination among those involved in Christian apologetics to uplift the standard in their field of work so that the cause of truth may be served with integrity.
