In today's eye-opening teaching, Brother Bryan Denlinger tackles one of the most misunderstood topics in Christian theology: the nature of God. Is God a Trinity? Is He revealed through Modalism? Or does the King James Bible teach the Godhead?
Bryan Denlinger's message titled "Trinity vs Godhead vs Modalism" is a detailed theological critique and a passionate defence of what he calls the biblical Godhead teaching, rooted specifically in the King James Bible. Here's a breakdown of his key points, analogies, and positions:
🔑 Main Objective:
To expose what he sees as confusion and philosophical error behind the doctrines of the Trinity and Modalism, while defending what he believes is the true biblical doctrine of the Godhead, as found in the King James Bible.
1. Denlinger’s Illustration with Bolts (Visual Analogy):
He uses hardware parts—bolts, nuts, and washers—to illustrate and differentiate the three positions:
A. Trinity Teaching (Rejected)
Represented by three separate bolts, each made up of a nut (body), bolt (soul), and washer (spirit).
Each bolt represents a separate person: God the Father, God the Son, God the Spirit.
He criticises this as contradictory and philosophical, saying:
If there are three distinct persons, then that logically implies three gods, not one.
Yet Trinitarians insist "there is one God"—Denlinger calls this philosophical confusion, not biblical doctrine.
He accuses Trinitarians of demoting Jesus, making Him the "second person" and sometimes implying He is lesser or even created.
B. Modalism (Also Rejected)
Represented by one bolt that changes roles:
Sometimes the bolt is the body, the soul, sometimes the spirit—all shifting modes of the same being.
This view teaches that God is just one person (Jesus) who manifests in different forms (Father, Son, Spirit) but not simultaneously.
Denlinger rejects this because:
It denies the distinct coexistence of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
It creates a fluid, ever-changing God, which he sees as unbiblical.
He claims it's associated with "Jesus Only" Pentecostalism and Oneness doctrine.
C. The Biblical Godhead (Affirmed)
Represented by one bolt, but composed of three distinct parts:
Bolt = Soul (Father)
Washer = Spirit (Holy Spirit)
Nut = Body (Jesus Christ)
He emphasises:
This model reflects the image of God in man—man is also made of body, soul, and spirit (1 Thess. 5:23).
The three parts are distinct but unified, and can function separately (e.g., Jesus on earth while the Father is in heaven).
They come together as one being, not three persons.
Cites Colossians 2:8–9: "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy..." and "in him dwelleth all the fullness of the Godhead bodily".

📜 Scripture Denlinger Emphasises:
Colossians 2:8-9 warns against philosophy and emphasises the Godhead being bodily in Christ.
Isaiah 9:6 – Jesus is called “Everlasting Father,” which he uses to argue that Jesus is the Father.
Revelation (One Throne) – He asserts there is only one throne in heaven, not three.
Genesis 1 – Man is made in God’s image (body, soul, spirit), mirroring the Godhead.

⚠️ Strong Rebuke Against the Trinity:
He labels the Trinity doctrine as:
Philosophical
Rooted in Roman Catholicism
A satanic deception
He warns that it opens the door to end-time deception, suggesting that Catholics will worship the false trinity of Antichrist, False Prophet, and Satan (the Dragon) in the last days.
He implies that believing in the traditional Trinity (if you're militant or hardened in it) may indicate you're not truly saved.

🧠 Summary of Differences (According to Denlinger):
Doctrine Nature of God Components Evaluation by Denlinger
Trinity 3 separate persons, 1 essence Father, Son, Holy Spirit Philosophical, confusing, heretical
Modalism 1 person, 3 modes/manifestations Jesus only (changes form) Inconsistent, shifting, false
Godhead 1 being with 3 distinct parts (not persons) Body (Jesus), Soul (Father), Spirit (Holy Spirit) Biblical, consistent, KJV-based
💡 Final Warnings and Appeal:
Avoid Catholic traditions and man's philosophy.
Be biblically grounded (especially in the King James Bible).
Don’t confuse Trinitarianism or Modalism with the biblical Godhead.
Understand that Jesus Christ is the fullness of the Godhead bodily—He is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in one being, not three persons.
