Alva G. Huffer On the Oneness of God

 

Alva G. Huffer, Systematic Theology (1960), pp. 56, 235.

 

God is one.

There is only one person who is God.

Before the universe came into being, the living, personal, self-existent God was alone.

This one infinite and perfect Being is unique. He has no identical. He is in a class of His own.
In His nature, personality, and attributes God is undivided and indivisible.

______

 

There is one God, one human race, and one mediator between the two. The one God is a unity who alone is the source of all created things.

His character is holiness, love, and truth.

The one human race has descended from its common ancestors, Adam and Eve. The human race had a common origin and constitutes a unity. The entire human race is in sin and needs salvation. The one mediator is Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God. He is the only person who could ever have served as mediator between the one God and the one human race. . . .
