Would he be, say, "Jimmy God," "Jimmy John God," "J. J. God," or in the case of serious duplication, "Jimmy
On one hand, some say Jones (or God) is the father and on the
other, say he is a family. Now, which is it? Jimmy J. Jones cannot logically be both (1) the father and (2) a family at
the same time and in the same relationship. The law of non-contradiction prevents it. He cannot be both a singular and
a compound entity (according to the number of members in the group) at the same time. Jones cannot be a family unless we append
modifiers to his name, as, "the Jones family," or "the family of Jones." By itself, we think of the name "Jones" or "God" as
an individual, one indivisible person or being. But embedded in the God-is-a-family premise is that God will ultimately be as
common as blackbirds or sparrows in that God will be splintered into innumerable individual little Gods, flitting from place to place. If someone said, "Here comes Jones," you would not expect to see the Jones family clan on the march. By the same token, if someone
said, "Here comes God," you would expect to see the Father, not thousands of "little" Gods, much less some humans-made-into "Gods."
The "family" doctrine implies that if we look at the Father, he is God singular, but if we look at his family, he is God, plural. It is irrational and makes no sense. Those teaching this awful stuff are spreading false doctrines. Extending this to
its logical end, if God is the (or is a) family, he is, therefore by definition, equal to whoever is in that family—and that could
be thousands or millions of individuals. Thus, God is as many persons in one as there are persons in the family—a unique twist
on a purely polytheistic view, the Trinity. God is, by this view, a polytheistic-synthesis.
If God is a family, then all resurrected
persons that are in God's family are absorbed into God! This smacks of New Age philosophy and superstition. Everyone (in
the family) becomes God—ergo, they are all little Gods, similar to Mormonism. The doctrine is nothing more than a strange twist
on Trinitarianism; it is New Age irrational polytheism, pure and simple. And it is blasphemous.
Some fools say that the Father
(God) and Jesus (God) is the God family today. If true, it would logically follow that any children added to God would be called,
say, John (God), Mary (God), or Todd (God). The argument: If God is a family, and if Jesus is God, ergo, those later added to
God's family are God, and additionally, as such, will inherit identical power. The form of the syllogism is correct, but the
basis is erroneous. The "God is a family" hypothesis represents a polysynthetic concept, or the combining of several elements
(persons), each retaining a kind of independence. This also describes Trinitarianism.
When the broad term, "the God family" (which
means God is a family of many Gods) is used, they should say it is a family name. Instead of devilishly presenting clever
twisted arguments, why not be open and honest with the terminology? The phrase "The God family" is not the same as "The family
of God" unless you mean to use it as a family name. "The family of God" is an overall generic term that encompasses all that
are in Christ, as "children of God," or "spiritual brethren" without implying that their last name is "God." All that are in
Christ are in God's family. On the other hand, "The God family" implies that the last name of all the members of that family
is "God." This is ridiculous.
Most certainly, God is bringing children into his family. God and Christ are creating a family
or a familial relationship with reborn (born again) humans according to the plain sense of scripture. Regenerated believers
are children of God. This is a biblical fact! However, this familial designation does not automatically give anyone license
to make a leap of logic and suppose that God is "reproducing himself" according to a "parallel physical model" as some people in certain
cults wrongly teach. It is highly possible, I am afraid, that some have gone too far and gotten too loose with this analogy
in a desire to somehow satisfy and maintain peculiar church tradition. The premise offered by some that because God is building
or creating a family, he therefore is a family, or that because some humans may enter God's family as his children, God therefore
is a family, is a fallacious, deceptive, illogical , lying argument. And they are real foxy on this.
The Bible NOWHERE declares
that God IS a family (of Gods!). To imply by clever human reasoning that human beings can become Gods because they wind up in
God's family is deceitful, because implications about family members becoming God as God is God are left unsaid—it is a corrupt deceptive
theology. God is not a family, according to the Bible.
To conclude: "And it has not yet been revealed what we shall be" (1Jn.3:2). There is no sense revealed in the Bible in
which human beings will ever become God(s) or God Beings. The Eternal says to one and all, "And I will not give my glory to
another" (Isa.48:11b). Man will ultimately become God? I don't think so. (END)
