The Trinity vs. Bryan Denlinger: Part 4, What does "Godhead" even mean??
Channel: Servant of Christ
Date: 2022-06-25

James White asks, "How does one explain what Godhead means? Who really uses this term any longer?" (King James Only Controversy, pg. 257). In "The Forgotten Trinity" (2019), pg. 85: "The [KJV] renders it "godhead" which is not only ambiguous...it can be quite confusing." Bryan Denlinger and company make "Godhead" the watch-word of their doctrinal position. But is "Godhead" really ambiguous and confusing as James White says? Does it necessarily convey the content Denlinger ascribes to it? Is this *the* Biblical word that God wants us to use? Is Denlinger's theological definition infallible?

This is a deep dive into several English resources around the time of the King James Bible, which use the word "Godhead." The onus is on Denlinger to prove his meaning and history is not on his side.
