I find it to be a little disconcerting, ...Hi Mark,<br /><br />I find it to be a little disconcerting, that Non Trinitarian TD Jakes is headlining The Hillsong Conference in 2007:<br /><br />http://www2.hillsong.com/conferences/hillsong/default.asp?pid=1240&hidetitle=yes<br /><br />TD Jakes was also hosted by Phil Pringle/CCC Oxford Falls recently.<br /><br />The issue surrounding TD Jakes unorthodox views on Trinity are well documented on the web (you can just google “TD Jakes” + “Trinity”).<br /><br />The most credible sources however, are ‘Christianity Today’ magazine and Christian Research Institute (refer attached link).<br /><br />http://www.equip.org/free/DJ902.pdf<br /><br />You would no doubt be aware that this issue was so important and divisive that it was sealed as a core Christian belief at the First Ecumenical Council in Nicea (as per the Nicene Creed we would often recite as part of Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican etc Liturgy). <br /><br />Mark, what are your thoughts: <br /><br />Is healthy for the Contemporary Church to depart from core Christian beliefs?<br /><br />-LionfishAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
