    Context makes all the difference in the world!!! The video was from a "Heresy Hunter" who misrepresented Paula White and the other minister in the TV program. Neither were speaking about the Trinity, rather, they were speaking about how the Bible refers to Christians as being "sons of God."

    The web site for her church states that they believe in the Trinity, Father Son and Holy Spirit.

    Does the Bible speak about anyone other than Jesus being a son of God??? Absolutely!!! There are several references but the one that stands out to me is this one:

    1 John 3:1
    Behold, what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knows us not, because it knew him not.


    I am not a fan or a follower of Paula White, but she is falsely accused and slammed in this regard.

    Yes, we are sons and daughters of God. The angels are referred to as sons of God. However, the bible says that God sent His ONLY BEGOTTEN SON to save the world.
    They were saying that Jesus is not the only begotten Son of God. I can't agree with them on that statement, as it goes against the clear teaching of the Word of God.

    An extremely poor choice of words, yeah. He is negating a well known verse.

    CONTEXT, CONTEXT, CONTEXT!!!!

    Unscrupulous men utilize devious methods to denigrate those they oppose. It is deceitful and dishonest to take a video snippet out of context and attack a man or woman of God in such a way, and the "Heresy Hunters" constantly use such tactics.

    The same attack was waged against Creflo Dollar a few years ago claiming he was denying the deity of Christ when the video snippet showed him saying that when Jesus was asleep in the boat on the sea of Galilee, he asked, ..."Was God asleep?" Dollar was speaking of the humanity of Jesus and was 100% correct in the point he was making, ... but the heresy hunter distorted Dollar's questions to claim he was denying the deity of the Lord and totally misrepresented him.

    In regard to John 3:16, yes, Jesus is the only begotten Son of God. God sent Him to be the Savior of the world. None other can do what He did. But in regard to the other verses that speak of Christians as being sons of God, they too are born, or begotten of God, therefore Jesus in not NOW the only begotten because there are brothers and sisters now who are ALSO begotten of God through the new birth. He is NOW the FIRSTBORN of MANY BRETHREN! (Rom 8:29).

    The minister on the video was not denying anything about Jesus as being the unique Son of God, rather, he was making the point that those who are saved are now in God's family too. Paula White simply agreed with him because she understood the sense in how he was speaking of the sons of God.

    There is no denial of the Trinity here, and no false teaching, and therefore no heresy. There IS a heresy hunter at play seeking to smear a woman preacher who is being honored by the President Elect who has invited her to pray at his inauguration.

    The jerk doing the smear job on that web page and attack video then shifts to smearing her as a "prosperity-preacher." While there may be some questionable money-raising practices in White's ministry that I would not approve of, every pastor or preacher who preaches that God blesses the man or woman who tithes or donates money to the work of God is a "prosperity-preacher." Yes, there is verse after verse in both the Old Testament and the New Testament where God promises material blessing to the person who gives to support the work of the Kingdom of God. And the Bible clearly states the prayer of the apostle that a believer would prosper and be in health even as his soul prospers (3 John 2). We need to address the misuse of Scripture and NOT have knee-jerk reactions to people who may have a slightly different interpretation of SCRIPTURE than us and end up throwing the baby out with the dirty bath-water.

    Every Gospel preacher who proclaims the truth of the Bible is a "prosperity preacher" or he is not faithfully preaching the Word of God.

    Psalm 35:27 AMP
    27b Let them say continually, "Let the Lord be magnified, who delights and takes pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."


    Yes, God delights in the prosperity of His children!!!
