Critical Note on Dake’s Teaching
WARNING: Dake teaches that God is three separate God’s and each of the three God’s has their own spirit, soul, and body. This body can only be in one place at a time (God has the same limitations as us) and can be touched. This includes the Holy Spirit and Father.
Word of warning: It is very, very important to understand and be careful of the material Dake teaches on any particular topic. The reason is that like many cults, He often uses the right ‘terminology’ such as the “Trinity”, but gives the theological words completely different meanings than what Christians have always meant. For example, he might say that God is omnipresent, but for him that means that God is present by sending his messengers around the universe, NOT that God is everywhere present. God for instance according to Dake is confined to a body, soul and spirit just like us and can ONLY be in one place at one time (on a planet far away called heaven). Another example is that you cannot see God because He is too far away NOT because He is spirit.
For those who do not have a significant theological foundation I would recommend that you read the article directly below before going to the articles that provide lots of direct quotes of his works so as to avoid confusing yourself or being led astray. Read first:
