The author of a classic on the Trinity and Heresy, Dr OJ Brown Heresies, the Image of Christ in the Mirror of Heresy and Orthodoxy from the Apostles to the Present, 1984 inadvertently gives away the secret of all the confusion over God and Jesus.
On pp. 430-432 he admits that the creed of Jesus was replaced by a new creed! He rightly refers to the creed, the Shema, of Deut. 6:4 as unitary monotheism!
It is certainly that, as all historians know. Brown then speaks of what he thinks is a legitimate transition away from the unitary monotheistic creed of Israel to a new doctrine of a Triune God! Brown does not hear what he is saying!
He admits and concedes that the Shema is unitary, non-Trinitarian. He fails to note that it was Jesus who repeated and affirmed that same creed!
Thus we need all to take in this amazing fact-- that Jesus has been superseded at the most basic of all levels.The Definition of God.
The church fathers take-over seems not be taken to heart by unthinking Church members!
