Lee Vayle denied the deity of Jesus Christ and preached Arianism | Lee Vayle denied the deity of Jesus Christ and preached a combination of Nestorianism and Arianism. It's difficult to tell exactly what Lee Vayle taught on this issue because his teaching was convoluted and complicated. | ||
'''[[Arianism]]''' was a heresy first taught by Arius (ca. AD 250–336) in Alexandria, Egypt. Arius asserted that the Son of God was a subordinate entity to God the Father. Similar doctrine is also taught by Jehovah's Witnesses and Mormons. | |||
[[Nestorianism]] is the doctrine that Jesus existed as two persons, the man Jesus and the divine Son of God, rather than as a unified person. | |||
Here are a few quotes by Lee Vayle that clearly demonstrate the heretical nature of his teaching: | |||
:''...the church has made '''the great mistake in making Jesus equal to God''' — which he is in a certain way — '''but he’s not God. He’s not Deity'''. I’m sorry, but he’s not, because God is not in him. No way. What God was in him is not Deity, same as what God is in you is not Deity, concerning Deity Himself, which is Sovereign God and Creator and Maintainer.''<ref>Lee Vayle, Godhead Q&A #4: Tangibility of God, 11-05-2000 </ref> | :''...the church has made '''the great mistake in making Jesus equal to God''' — which he is in a certain way — '''but he’s not God.

Brian Kocourek, a Vaylite preacher, states the following: | |||
:''Now, Brother Branham is letting us know that God and Jesus were one in that '''God was indwelling the Body of His Son'''. But I also want to show you that this Oneness between God and His Son was more than just God indwelling His Son, the fact is that Jesus and God were one because God is the Word and '''Jesus manifested that Word in the same sense that God was One with His Own Word'''. | |||
:''...And that is how God and Jesus are one. The Father is the Word, and when he is doing in His Word, '''He shows the son what he is doing, and the son sees God in vision doing''' (whatever it may be), and he then steps into the vision so to speak (the hat has to be on the chair for him to do it, if you recall how brother Branham told us that all the pieces have to be set up in order for him to step into the vision. You just can’t go do until all the pieces are ready) then he would step into the scene and act out in this dimension what he had seen in that other dimension.<reF>Brian Kocourek, #4 How Jesus And God Are One, August 7th, 2011</ref> | |||
