My dear friend and theological mentor, Dr. Robert K. Wright, told my about your sight, Cheryl, and the discussion on the current Neo-Arian heresy that has arisen within the Evangelical churches, thanks to George Knight III and Wayne Grudem.   Several years ago, Bob’s wife, Julia, gave a presentation on the Trinity and Suboridinationism, in which she predicted that the traditionalists would consider this cardinal Christian and its application to the “women in ministry and leadership” issue, and see the errors of their ways.  Her predication came true, partly; they did consider this doctrine, but lacking the necessary moral and intellectual integrity they profess, perverted this doctrine and threaten the life of the church, as did Arius in the fourth century.
       I recently read Kevin Giles’ Jesus and the Father: Modern Evangelicals Reinvent the Trinity.  By the time I got to the end of the third chapter, where he clearly outlines the concepts and arguments of Grudem and company, I realized, “My God!  These people are Arians!”  And they have embraced this damned heresy solely for the wicked and injust purpose to “keep women in their proper place,” as some say!  From that point on, I determined, like St. Athanasius before me, to dedicate myself, in every way I can, to fight and defeat this heresy that will eventually destroy the Evangelical churches if not stopped.  And so on my website, I have written a three part article, “The Trinity and Evangelical Neo-Arianism” where I not only expose this teaching as damned heresy, but call concerned Christians to rise up and fight it!
             Now, as to resources to combat this heresy, I would refer you not only to Kevin Giles’ The Trinity and Subordiantionism and Jesus and the Father, but also high recommend Millard J. Erickson’s God in Three Persons: A Contemporary Interpretation  and B. B. Warfield’s “The Biblical Doctrine of the Trinity,” Biblical and Theological Studies.  And this heresy we must fight, because, as far as I am concerned, these people are preaching a different God, a different Jesus, a different Spirit, and a different Gospel (cf. 2 Cor 11:1-14).
            And I see that some of the commentators on this blog are friends I have previously contacted on the CBE blog, “The Scroll.”  Hello, my friends; hope all is well with you.  And Cheryl, my Christian sister, I also support you as one who preaches, teaches and defends the true Gospel Faith.  Don’t let anyone rob you of your confidence as one gifted to preach and teach God’s Word because they misuse two Pauline texts to put you down.  They err, because as Jesus said of the Pharisees, they do not really know and understand either the Scriptures or the gifting and calling of the Holy Spirit, who is the Power of God at work in all true children of God.
