Hayes vs Mulbah Debate, Oneness vs Trinity Andrew Mulbah

The Hayes vs Mulbah Debate is a formal written debate on the subject of the Godhead, between Bishop Jerry L Hayes (Onenessarian) and Minister Andrew Mulbah (Trinitarian). This work contains the debate in its entirety plus other related material. Included are the two Creeds from which both disputents argue their respective views: The Apostolic Creed (the statement of faith for the Oneness/Modalistic Monarchian theology) and the Athanasian Creed (the official statement of faith for the Trinitarian theology). Oneness is the modern title for the ancient term "Monarchain" and is modalistic in its position of the distinctions of Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Bishop Hayes represents this ancient view of the Godhead with the proposition of "Resolved, the Scriptures teach that God eternally exists as one self aware Spirit-being called the Father; that Jesus of Nazareth is the Father incarnate." This proposition is set forth by Hayes in three affirmatives of 3,000 words each and is rebutted by a equal number of denial articles by Mulbah. Trinitarianism is the title chosen by Minister Mulbah (though Modalistic Monarchainism is a more ancient form of the Trinity) to represent his view of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit and is represented by his proposition of "Resolved that Scriptures teach that God eternally exists as three separate and distinct co-equal and co-eternal persons, namely, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit." This proposition is set forth by Mulbah in three affirmatives of 3,000 words each and is rebutted by a equal number of denial articles by Hayes. Also included is this work is a comprehensive reference apparatus and an index for both Scriptures used and subjects discussed.
