(Whether or not he did so elsewhere is another matter.) In that citation, he only said that the label, "Christ" has nothing to do with the issue. Similarly, in the prior citation, Dake did not deny the deity of Jesus. Dake *affirmed* omnipresence in the cited passage, but said that WHEN HE TAKES BODILY FORM God goes from place to place like any other person. Harpazo claimed that Dake taught that God is limited to one place, but in fact the passage he quoted did NOT say that. I would also note that this is a case that shows the importance of carefully parsing words. Dake's doctrinal notes to be useful as a reference showing where *some* elements of Pentecostal and Charismatic Christianity get their beliefs.
I hope it's permissible that I also chime in briefly on this. I would caution the reader to give VERY SERIOUS thought and MUCH PRAYER to using a resource like that. Dake's bible goes into very dangerous territory about God the Father as well as God the Son. I express my concern as a brother in the Lord because I love the truth. 587), similar to God in attributes and power. In another place he says we are all "miniature gods" (pg. God is limited to one place? God had to go down to Sodom and Gomorrah to find out what was happening because He didn't know? (This quote from his bible is actually concerning the events in Sodom and Gomorrah). Abraham stood yet before the bodily presence of God, but not before the bodily presence of the 2 angels because they went to Sodom and were no longer bodily present." In His body He goes from place to place like other persons.
The doctrine of omnipresence of God can be proved, but not His omnibody. This plainly teaches that God, as well as men and angels, is limited to one place as far as the body is concerned. "Here we have another proof that God receives knowledge of true conditions and becomes acquainted with existing facts. This is actually the first thing that I read in his bible that made me throw it in the trash. He "became" the Christ 30 years AFTER he was born? Are you kidding me?ĭake also believed that God didn't have omniscience. This is pure heresy as to the person of Jesus Christ. Like the name "Jesus" it has no reference to deity, but to the humanity of the Son of God, who became the Christ or the "Anointed One" 30 years after He was born of Mary. I used to have his bible many years ago but I was often left scratching my head in dismay at some of his commentary and beliefs. I wouldn't touch one with a ten-foot pole because it's filled with all kinds of confusion as well as heresy.
