John 1:1-5 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.… This verse is an unanswerable argument against three classes of heretics. It confutes — 1. The Arians, who regard Christ as a Being inferior to God. 2. The Sabellians, who deny any distinction of Persons in the Trinity, and say that God sometimes manifested Himself as Father, sometimes as Son, and sometimes as the Spirit, and that the Father and the Spirit suffered on the cross. 3. The Socinians and Unitarians, who say that Jesus Christ was not God, but man, a most holy and perfect man, but only a man. (Bp.Ryle.)
