In this sermon Gary Smith begins a two part sermon on an aspect of the first fundamental belief. We believe that the Godhead or God family is composed of two beings. We speak of there being one God the Father yet at the same time speak of Jesus as being God as is stated in verses such as John 1:1. In this sermon he covers the debate that raged over this issue in the first three centuries of the church that finally resulted in the acceptance of the trinity doctrine by the mainstream churches.
