Debunking Modalism

The TruthQuestBS.network article on The Jewish God, isn’t teaching modalism. Instead, it upholds strict monotheism by showing that the one eternal God always existed with both His Word and His Spirit, and He sends each to carry out His will without ever ceasing to be the one, indivisible God.

Modalism says God was alone in eternity, then “became” Father in the OT, “became” Son in the Gospels, and now “becomes” Spirit.
TruthQuest’s view is that from all eternity YHVH dispatched His Word and His Spirit whenever and wherever He willed.
In other words, God never changes roles; He remains one God who speaks (through His Word) and acts (by His Spirit).

Greek logic demanded technical categories (substance, essence, person) to protect monotheism, spawning the formal Trinity formula.
Hebrew/Aramaic thought simply observes: God speaks, God breathes, God is one. There’s no need for abstract labels—just an emphasis on God’s actions flowing from one divine will.

John 4:20–26
- Jesus insists worship belongs to the Father alone “in spirit and truth.”
- He identifies Himself not as the Father but as the Messiah sent to reveal the Father’s heart.
Matthew 4:1–11
- In each temptation, Jesus refuses to serve anyone but “the Lord your God.”
- He wields Scripture to safeguard exclusive worship of the one God.
John 17:3
- Jesus prays that believers know “the only true God” (the Father) and “Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”
- This distinction underlines His role as the Father’s sent Word, not as the Father Himself.

You inherit the practical simplicity of biblical faith: worship the one true God, heed His Word, rely on His Spirit, and rest in His unified purpose.

You maintain unwavering confidence in one God—never juggling multiple “persons” but trusting the same God who always speaks and empowers.

You avoid confusion over theological jargon and focus on how God actually interacts with us through His life-giving Spirit.
