Have We Been Lied To About The Trinity Doctrine? by BIBLESPEAKS(m): 11:48am On Apr 09
The truth constantly stares many in the face, but they would rather hang on to centuries-old falsehood like the trinity or a belief in a triune God. This post is for those who wish to investigate their bibles in search for the truth about God.
Please consider this, carefully.



If Jesus is Almighty God...

1. Then why is "God head of Christ just as Christ is head of man"? (1 Cor. 11:3)

2. Then why does Scripture consistently phrase Jesus as a separate person from God? (John 20:17; John 14:1; Mark 10:18; John 17:1-3; etc. Also in heaven, 1 Cor. 11:3; Luke 22:69; etc.)

35. Then why do many who believe this rely on a few selected, so-called 'proof-texts' instead of the context of the consistent teaching of the entire Bible?

36. Then how could he be commanded to do anything? (John 12:49; Deut. 18:18)

37. Then why did Steven see two separate entities, GOD and Jesus, and not just one God or three persons? (Acts 7:55)

38. Then how could he be seen at GOD's right hand? (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:55; Rom. 8:34)

53. How could Jesus teach in the Jewish synagogues and the temple? This would never happen if any of the authorities believed he claimed to be God (or that his followers believed such a thing). - Matt. 26:55; John 7:14, 28. Matt. 4:23.

54. How could Jesus' followers teach in Jewish synagogues after Jesus' death and for the remainder of that first century (at least)? Again, this would not have been allowed if there were any suspicion that they believed Jesus to be God. Acts 9:20; 13:5, Acts 13:13-15.

If the Holy Spirit is Almighty God...

1. Then why do quotes from Trinitarians admit that the Holy Spirit is not God but rather is a force from God?

The truth constantly stares many in the face, but they would rather hang on to centuries-old falsehood like the trinity or a belief in a triune God. This post is for those who wish to investigate their bibles in search for the truth about God.
Please consider this, carefully.
The doctrine of the Trinity is in the bible, The church had always believe in the person of the father, Son and Holy Spirit.



If Jesus is Almighty God...

1. Then why is "God head of Christ just as Christ is head of man"? (1 Cor. 11:3)
Christ is lower than the father due to his incarnation and for the fact that the father has a different office from the Son and the Holy Spirit.

2. Then why does Scripture consistently phrase Jesus as a separate person from God? (John 20:17; John 14:1; Mark 10:18; John 17:1-3; etc. Also in heaven, 1 Cor. 11:3; Luke 22:69; etc.)
The Trinity teaches that the father, Son and Holy Spirit are individual persons but however same God.


3. Then how can Jesus have a God? Could Almighty God have a God? (Mic. 5:4; Ps. 45:6, 7; 89:26; John 20:17; Rom. 15:6; 2 Cor. 1:3; Eph 1:3; Col 1:3; Mark 15:34; John 17:1-3; Also in heaven, Rev. 1:6; 3:2, 12).
If you understand Jesus incarnation, then you would have known that Since he was a man he now has his father as his God.

. Then why does Scripture say he was born and is part of Creation? (Col. 1:15)
Jesus took part of creation by his incarnation.
Hebrews 2:14 Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;
However, the word firstborn as used in col.1:15 means preminence.

5. Then why does Rev. 3:14 say that Jesus is "the beginning of the creation of God"?
The beginning means he is the source and ruler of God's creation.

6. Then why is he subject to GOD, like we're subject to him? (1 Cor. 15:27, 28; Eph. 1:17)
again as a human he is and will be subject to God.

7. Then why does Micah 5:2 say that Jesus' ORIGIN was “from early times”?
early times actually time indefinite, that is how God's origin is described for example in Habakuk 1 vv 2, God is said to be from early times. Also in psalm 90 God is said to be God from early times to early times or time indefinite, eternity can also be referred to as time indefinite or ancient time.

8. Then why does Jesus not know what God knows? (Matt. 24:36, Rev.1:1; Luke 8:45)
Jesus was working withing the limit of his humanity.

9. Then why is Jesus still subject to God when he is as high as he will ever be? (1 Cor. 15:27, 28)
when Jesus took on flesh he was no longer as high as his father infact when he was on earth before his resurrection he was even a little lower than the angels.

10. Then why does Proverbs 8:22-31 show that the Messiah was CREATED / PRODUCED by God?
Since you agreed that Jesus is the wisdom of God are you then saying that God created his own wisdom? IN
Proverbs 8 vv22-23 the word create simply means to ordain or set over in position over all things.

Proverbs 8:22 The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.

8:23 I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.

You can see that wisdom was possessed by God before his works (creation) meaning wisdom was not created but was established before God's creation.

11. Then why is he not powerful enough to subject things to himself? (1 Cor. 15:27, Eph. 1:17, 22)
Christ has the power to subdue all things unto himself.
Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

12. Then why would he have to be given any power and authority? (Mt. 28:18; 11:27; Jn. 5:22; 17:2; 3:35; 2 Pet. 1:17)
Because he took a lower position of a servant.

13. Then why did he have to learn anything? (Heb. 5:8; John 5:19; 8:28)
Since Jesus became a man he experienced life as all humans do except he never sinned.

14. Then why is speaking against him not as bad as speaking against the Holy Spirit? (Mt. 12:31,32; Luke 12:10)
that is due to the office of the holy Spirit as the power of God.

15. Then why did Jesus call the "Father...the only true God"? (John 17:3)
The father's position is to be the source of authority and power hence he is called "the God" the devil is also called "the God" of this world because he is also the source of authority and power for decieved men. So the Word "God" can be used to described one in position of authority and power or one who is truly God. The Father is the ultimate source of authority and power and hence the only true God among other false gods competing for the father's position.


16. Then why did he need to be saved? (Heb. 5:7; John 12:27)
as a man he genuinely was sacred to die and hence need to be saved from this fear of dieing that is why he prayed father not my will but thine will be done.

17. Then why did he have to be exalted to Leader and Savior? (Acts 5:31)
same thing, he took the lower position of a nobody but was exalted to his position as Lord and saviour.

18. Then how could he be exalted and given a higher name than he had? (Phil. 2:9-11; Heb. 1:2-4)
Same thing, name here means authority.

19. Then why did he have to be given life in himself? (John 5:25,26)
Jesus as a man was totally dependent on the father, he was able to live, die and resurrect because the father has already given him that power to have life in himself.

20. Then how can the Father be greater than he? (John 14:28).
In position and as a man the father is greater.

21. Then how could Jesus be tempted by Satan when God cannot be tempted with evil? (James 1:13)
Because he was a man.

22. Then why did he worship the Father? (John 4:22)
who should men worship? Since Jesus was a man he worship the Father who is the only true God.

23. Then why can he not do anything on his own? (John 5:19; 6:38)
This is a merry go round question. He came by the will of the father and to do the will of the father, so he had to totally depend totally on the father.

24. Then why would he pray to anybody? (Luke 22:44; John 17:1,2; Heb. 5:7)
again because he is a man and he wanted to live an example for us.

25. Then why do John 1:18 and 1 John 4:9 say that Jesus is God's "only BEGOTTEN Son"? ASV
only begotten simply means he is unique, he is a Son because of his eternal relationship he had with the father. God is love and for love to exist there has to be a relationship. Since God is love there exist relationship within the Trinity, the kind of relationship that exist between "the word" and "the God" is a Son to father relationship, that is why God also want to establish a relationship with us humans because he is love.

26. Then how can he be God's servant? (Acts 4:26,27,30)
Philippians 2 says Jesus took the position of servant in other to take our place on the cross.

27. Then how could he receive strength from an angel? (Luke 22:43)
because Jesus, like Adam was a little lower than the angels.

28. Then how could he be a mediator between God and man? (1 Tim. 2:5)
because he is a man only man can be a mediator for men.

29. Then how could he be with God (ton theon)? (John 1:1)
Because he is a separate person from the Father.

30. Then how can he be God's image? (Col. 1:15; Heb. 1:3)
He is God who became visible as a man.

31. Then why is he called the agency (dia) of creation and not the Originator (ek)? (1 Cor. 8:6; John 1:1-3; Prov. 8:30; Heb. 2:10; Col. 1:15,16)
It is his person and office as the word through whom the father's plan, Will and commands comes to pass.

32. Then why did Jesus say GOD was "good" in a way that Jesus was not? (Mark 10:18)
Jesus never said he was not good but goodness does not originate from humanity but God hence call no man good but God.

33. Then why does he have an archangel's voice instead of God's voice? (1 Thess. 4:16)
Jesus does not have the arch angel's voice but rather he comes with the voice of the archangel meaning the archangel comes with him at his coming.

34. Then why is the only "worship" given to him the same given to humans? (Heb. 1:6, cf. Mt. 18:26; Rev. 3:9 - "Proskuneo"
that word proskuneo is also used in reference to God, Jesus is given same worship as the father. In Revelation same honor, glory and majesty given to the father is also given to the Son.

35. Then why do many who believe this rely on a few selected, so-called 'proof-texts' instead of the context of the consistent teaching of the entire Bible?
ignorance or deliberate attempt to twist scriptures to teach what they intends.

36. Then how could he be commanded to do anything? (John 12:49; Deut. 18:18)

37. Then why did Steven see two separate entities, GOD and Jesus, and not just one God or three persons? (Acts 7:55)

38. Then how could he be seen at GOD's right hand? (Luke 22:69; Acts 7:55; Rom. 8:34)

39. Then how could Jesus be exalted (not to become God Himself, but) to the position of the "right hand OF God"? (Acts 2:33)

40. Then why would he have to receive a revelation from God? (Rev.1:1)

41. Then why is he called God's "begotten" Son before he came to earth? (John 3:16; Gal. 4:4; 1 John 4:9)

42. Then how could he have a Father? (John 20:17)

43. Then how could he come in flesh? (1 Kings 8:27; Acts 17:24,25)

44. Then why did he not come in his own name? (John 5:41-44)

45. Then why did Jesus "come down from heaven to do" God's will and not his own will? (Luke 22:42; John 6:38; John 5:30; John 8:42)

46. Then how could he appear before GOD? (Heb. 9:24)

47. Then how could he die? Can God die? Can part of God die? (Rom. 5:10; Acts 5:30; 1 Cor. 15:3; Hab.1:12; cf. 1 Tim. 6:16; Num. 23:19; Ps. 90:2; Dan. 6:25-26)
48. Then why is it that God resurrected Jesus? (Acts 2:32)

49. Then why can we see him if "no man has seen God at any time"? (John 1:18)

50. Then why is there not one clear Scripture where Jesus is called "God the Son," (equal to those declaring "God, the Father)?

51. How is it that the Jews rounded up some false witnesses to make up lies to obtain a death sentence for Jesus, but neither the Jewish officials nor even one of these false witnesses made a claim that he was God or equally God? (Matt. 26:59-67)

52. John summed up his whole Gospel by saying that it was written that we may believe "that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God." Why is there is no mention in that summary of the entire Gospel of what would be the most important thing of all - that Jesus is God? (John 20:31)

53. How could Jesus teach in the Jewish synagogues and the temple? This would never happen if any of the authorities believed he claimed to be God (or that his followers believed such a thing). - Matt. 26:55; John 7:14, 28. Matt. 4:23.

54. How could Jesus' followers teach in Jewish synagogues after Jesus' death and for the remainder of that first century (at least)? Again, this would not have been allowed if there were any suspicion that they believed Jesus to be God. Acts 9:20; 13:5, Acts 13:13-15.
Jesus' purpose of coming was to be the suffering servant and to die for the sins of the word, he mostly taught in parables and did not reveal everything but said the holy spirit would reveal them. Jesus however do give hint about his divinity both in his parable, life and works, at some times the pharisees wanted to stone him because they said he claimed to be God but he didn't deny their allegations, one of the foremost reasons they kill Jesus was because they claim he blasphemed.

1. Then why do quotes from Trinitarians admit that the Holy Spirit is not God but rather is a force from God?

2. Then why would Jews instructed in the Old Testament scriptures and in the teachings of John the Baptist, NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS? (Acts 19:2)

3. Then why isn't the Holy Spirit given equal description in the Bible?

6. Then why does the Bible describe the Holy Spirit as a thing that can be poured out into portions? (Acts 2:17, 18, 33; Numbers 11:17, 25)

7. Then why is the holy spirit nameless and indistinguishable from all of the other holy spirits?

8. Then why did the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD disregard the Holy Spirit as a member of the Godhead when they made Jesus 'God' in 325 AD? Why did they wait until the Council of Constantinople in 381 AD to include the Holy Spirit in the formula?

9. Then wouldn't the water and blood be persons too according to Trinitarian reasoning and 1 John 5:8?

10. Then why is the Holy Spirit sandwiched between a list of QUALITIES at 2 Cor. 6:6?

11. Then why does the NT Greek Lexicon describes the Holy Spirit as "this" at Acts 2:33?

14. Then why is it that there is never mentioned a vision, dream or clear description in scripture wherein God and the Holy Spirit are shown as the same person?

If the Trinity Doctrine is a Bible teaching...

1. Then why do NUMEROUS encyclopedias agree that

2. Then why do many encyclopedias, dictionaries and other sources (including Sir Isaac Newton) agree that the "Trinity was a pagan corruption imposed on Christianity in the fourth century by Athanasius"?

3. Then why does the Bible consistently identify God by singular person pronouns: "I, "Me," "He, and "Him" instead of "We", "Us", "They" or "Them"?

4. Then why does 2 Cor. 13:14 say that the Lord Jesus Christ is one individual, the Holy Spirit is another individual (whether a person or a thing), and that "GOD" IS ANOTHER DIFFERENT INDIVIDUAL?

5. Then why is there not even one Scripture which clearly defines the Trinity?

6. Then why is there not even one Scripture of a vision, dream, or CLEAR description wherein God is shown as three persons?

7. Then why is there not even one Scripture where God is described using the word "three"?
If the Holy Spiirt is called an "it" it is due to gramatical nature of the word "Spirit" however Jesus clearly referred to the Spirit as a person, who will reveal, bear witness and be an helper, the Holy Spirit can get angry, can be sinned against (you can't sin against a mere force) and his name (authority) is equally used in baptism just like the father and the Son.
God said he filled the heavens and the earth does that mean he is not a person? Same way the holy spirit can fill the believers in different measure but however he is a person. He can also be grieved, an impersonal force cannot grieve.
He spake in Acts to separate Barnabas and Paul for the work that he has for them.
You see that the Holy Spirit is a person like he father and the Son.
I hope these help.

God bless Steep for the answers provided so far.

Jesus was a God-man. He was fully God and fully man.

As a foundation, the son of man is man. The son of a goat is a goat. The Son of God is God.

His human dimension was fully human. This enabled Him to be able to take man's position in sin while man takes His position in righteousness. This exchange can only happen between man and man. Since there was no man to do it for man, God put on flesh in order to do for man, what man could not do for himself.

However, He did not allow His humanity to conflict with His divinity. While He is designated as our Great Representative to pay our debts for us (By representing us in His human dimension, He is able to stand in the gap and pay on our behalves). Only man can pay for man. He is not only our Representative, He is also our Example (All His references to God as His God, His Father , Can of His own do nothing, etc were premised on His role as our example), and He would return as our Judge.

Jesus was man in His body but God in His Spirit.

1 Timothy 3:16
"And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."

Re: Have We Been Lied To About The Trinity Doctrine? by Emusan(m): 3:43pm On Apr 09
BIBLESPEAKS:
The truth constantly stares many in the face, but they would rather hang on to centuries-old falsehood like the trinity or a belief in a triune God. This post is for those who wish to investigate their bibles in search for the truth about God.
Please consider this, carefully.

I use to say that, the day people like you will be able to distinguish between when the scripture is talking about Jesus as God Almighty and as Son who entered creation is the day the veil will be removed.

Well, someone has already addressed your misunderstanding of the scripture.

Well Trinity is well rooted in the Bible

1 John 5:7 "There are three who testify in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit, and the three are one."

You've done a great job with the research but the TRINITY is the result of the Antichrist many will follow even though there is no benefit! undecided
