Barristter07:I totally Agree with you bro. |
johnw47:I cannot stop laughing at your stupidity. You keep parroting nonesense in the pretext that you Are making sense. Jesus was God the word and were is it written that God the word has no beginning? The beginning reffered to in John1:1 , is the beginning of the World not the beginning of God, because God does not have a beginning. But right before God decided to make the World he first beget his Son Jesus. If you have sense slowly read the Bible verses below. 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. 8:24 When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. 8:25 Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: 8:26 While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. 8:27 When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: 8:28 When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: 8:29 When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: 8:30 Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; 8:31 Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men. This proverbs 8:22 mirrors John 1:1 both talks about Jesus been by the side of God while God created all things it also shows that Jesus was begotten by God, You claim that the word has no beginning is totally childish thinking. |
Emusan:Crap. this is mere human reasoning not God's word. So God and his twin are script playing father and son till all evil are eliminated? |
solite3:really. John 5:26 For as the Father has life in himself; so has he given to the Son to have life in himself; You are just running after shadow. There are hundreds of Bible verses that says Jesus is not Co-equal with God you ignore them and come here to type inconsistent points. You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I ( John 14:28 Was Jesus drunk when he said this? Why did God say he beget Jesus? I guess you are older than your father since you and your father have the same nature? |
johnw47:Still not making any sense. |
johnw47:You need to attend English classes. Weather he was existing inside God or not the most important fact is that it was God that beget Jesus, it was God that fathered (mind my grammar)Jesus, it was God that gave Jesus life and his own existence. |
Janosky:I wonder how some people reason, it was God that gave us all the language we have so why will God tell us he beget Jesus and men will be doubting God like God is learning English for the first time. These are strong words that are used to describe Jesus that you cannot ignore. First creation First born of all creations. Colossians 1:15,proverbs 8:22 Only BEGOTTEN Son John 3:16 Son of God Son by Inheritance John 16:15 Sent by God John 17:3 come out from the Father John 16:27 A prophet of God isaiah 53:11,luke 24:19 A servant of God. Isaiah42:1 Jesus own words my father is greater than me. John 14:28 You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I I wonder how people will see this words and many others I could not list and still want to force their own meaning on this words like Jesus and his father are learning how to speak and talk. |
rosy1992:Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 1 Timothy 2:5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus; You can see from the Bible verse above that both Father and Son are separate beings secondly Jesus said this in the book John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. John 14:20 At that day you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. From this verses we can deduce that Jesus meant unity(oneness) and not that he and his father are one person. If trinity was true using your (One) logic than it means God is a Billionity, but that is not possible becos Jesus in those two verses I listed is talking about Christains been in him and him in them and both been in God he was talking in terms of oneness or unity of the divine family. |
malvisguy212:Does Elohim Mean Trinity? Many people today who believe in the Trinity teaching, tend to use the word 'Elohim' referring to God in Genesis 1:26, and say this is the Trinity, because the verse says 'let us make man in our image'. So because this verse uses the words 'us' and 'our', and the word 'Elohim' means plural, they automatically think that this is talking about the Trinity - 3 in 1 God. But we will prove on this page that the word Elohim does not support the Trinity teaching. First of all, when a Hebrew would read the word 'Elohim' in reference to God, they would never understand it as a literal 'plural God'. Whenever the Jews read about God, they would always have the understanding that the true God is only one God, not two or three. Take a look at these verses from Deuteronomy and Mark: Deuteronomy 6:4 ...'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord .' Mark 12:28-29,32 ...'And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, which is the first commandment of all? And Jesus answered him, the first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord . And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but HE ' So the Hebrew mind had a firm understanding that there is only one God, not three. And this is confirmed again in John 8:54, where Jesus said ... 'If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God .' So the question remains, why does the word Elohim mean 'plural' when referring to God? Well, it doesn't actually mean plural in regards to persons . It's meaning in English is 'plural of majesty'. It does not denote more than one. It actually denotes 'greatness' and 'majesty'. And we can prove this from the scriptures : Exodus 7:1 ...'And the Lord said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god [ELOHIM] to Pharaoh: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet.' Did God tell Moses that He was going to make him a 'trinity' to Pharaoh? Of course not. God is telling Moses that He was going to make him 'GREAT' in the eyes of Pharaoh. Which is what the word Elohim really means ... 'greatness' and 'majesty'. Look at how this is revealed in 1 Chronicles 29. 1 Chronicles 29:10-11 ...'Wherefore David blessed the Lord before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, Lord God [Elohim] of Israel our father , for ever and ever. Thine, O Lord is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty : for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.' THIS is the 'plurality' of Elohim. It is a 'plurality of majesty', just as David confirmed above. And it belongs to God the Father, as 'head above all' - even the head of Christ (1 Corinthians 11:3) Now did God make Moses 'great' unto Pharaoh? Yes, the Bible confirms it in Exodus 11 ... Exodus 11:3 ...'And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants, and in the sight of the people.' So as you can see, the word Elohim does not in any way support the Trinity doctrine. If we use the Bible to interpret itself, then we can see the truth. And the truth is, our God, the Father, is ONE God , which the Bible confirms a number of times. And Jesus Christ is the Son of the One true living God. Take a look at the following interesting quote concerning Elohim and the Trinity: "... it is certain that the Jewish church held to no such doctrine. Says Mr. Summerbell, 'A friend of mine who was present in a New York synagogue, asked the Rabbi for an explanation of the word 'Elohim'. A Trinitarian clergyman who stood by, replied, 'Why, that has reference to the three persons in the Trinity,' when a Jew stepped forward and said he must not mention that word again , or they would have to compel him to leave the house; for it was not permitted to mention the name of any strange god in the synagogue." (J.N.Loughborough, Review and Herald, Nov.5, 1861) The Jews, whom the scriptures came through, from God, knew exactly that our God is ONE God , not three. And there can be no doubt that 'Elohim' refers to God the Father, who is the ONE true God, and it does not support in any way the false Trinity doctrine. But why does Genesis 1:26 use the words 'us' and 'our'? This is really simple and straight forward. The word 'Elohim' refers to God the Father, because it was God the Father who spoke those words. But who is He speaking to? He is speaking to Jesus Christ His Son! This is why God says, let 'us' make man in 'our' image. It is God the Father, speaking to Jesus Christ. Let's confirm this with the following inspired quote: "After the earth was created, and the beasts upon it, the Father and Son carried out their purpose, which was designed before the fall of Satan, to make man in their own image. They had wrought together in the creation of the earth and every living thing upon it. And now God says to his Son, Let us make man in our image ." (Spiritual Gifts, Vol.3, p.33) Notice, there is no mention of any 'third god'. Just the Father and Son. With the Father being THE GOD. Friend, God has clearly revealed to us the truth concerning His Godhead. And He has clearly shown in His Word that the trinity doctrine is false. The word 'Elohim' as you can see does not support the trinity in any way. Please seek the truth on this, as eternal life is based on believing and knowing the TRUE God, and Jesus Christ whom God sent to save us. John 17:3 ...'And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.'

Maximus69:I totally agree with you sir. |
Maximus69:I admire certain teachings and doctrines of Jehovah witness but am a not a member. My faith or membership of any Church should not matter in this issue what should matter is weather what I have written is the truth or not |
solite3:You are trying to force your own meaning into God's word Thd Father is greater than Jesus at anytime weather in Heaven or when Jesus is on Earth. mind you it was the father that gave Jesus life ,Power and authority how can he be equal to the father? you people are making this thing more complex than it should. God has a son who is like God in nature but cannot be equal with God for he has a beginning while God does not. Can one be greater than his father by age and authority? |
johnw47:You are confusing yourself, what is the difference from don't bring Jesus into existence and he beget Jesus? |
johnw47:You are the one confusing yourself you are trying hard to prove what you cannot. Let me tell you the word God is not the name of the father the word God or god is a generic name for any deity Satan is a god likewise Demons so Jesus bearing the name God does not make him equal to the father. The name of God is Jehovah or I AM that I AM this two names belong to only God of the Bible. 2 Corinthians 4:4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them. |
johnw47:True. They are not two God's. It is simply one God who has a Son called Jesus who by virtue of been the son of a God automatically is also a God but not in the same capacity and authority like his father. Here is Jesus own words. John 14:28 “Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I. ” |
johnw47:True. My take is that God is one, who exist eternally and at a certain time he brought forth his son Jesus into existence this was before the World and every other thing including the Angels and Satan were made . proverbs 8:22 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: Colossians 1:16 ► |
malvisguy212:This does not prove that Jesus is Co-equal with God. We all bear our fathers name does that make us equal to our father in age, authority and power. Do you know that born again Christaintity and Angels are called gods? now does that make us equal in power and authority with God? If born again Christains can be called gods than how much more Jesus who has God's divine nature in him the only BEGOTTEN of God, of cos he is God by the reason of him been beget by a God but that does not mean he is equal in power and authority with God. Psalm 82:6 I said, “You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High. |
Maximus69:For your information am not a Jehovah's Witnesses. You have not given me any reason or proof of the trinity doctrine in the Bible |
malvisguy212:So in a nutshell you are saying that Jesus Co-equal to God but decided to play the role of a son? |
johnw47:You failed to tell me how God is the head of Christ and still Christ is the same God of himself does it make sense to you? |
johnw47:I somehow agree with you but am having a little doubt or concerns on your statement that " the word is the same eternal spirit that is God" can you elaborate on it pls. |
malvisguy212:No one said the Son is less God just like no man is less human than his parents. The fact or truth that we want people to understand is that Jesus is not the twin of God neither does he have same authority or power like his father except given to him by his father. If you read proverbs 8:22 you will understand that God brought Jesus into existence which trinitarians deny by claiming Jesus is as old as his father. remember that God beget Jesus and their is no where it is written that God himself is begotten. BEGOTTEN be-got'-'-n (yaladh; "to bear," "bring forth," "beget"; denotes the physical relation of either parent to a child, A somewhat old fashioned adjective, begotten is the past participle of the verb beget, which means to father or produce as offspring. You might recognize this word from John 3:16, one of the most popular and most often quoted bible verses: "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/begotten |
HedwigesMaduro:I Totally agree with you and this what Jesus taught his disciples. John 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Matthew 28:18 And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. |
johnw47:You see how you twist your explanation without Bible verses or facts to prove it. 1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. So God is the head of himself in your logic? |
malvisguy212:The word Lord means Master and of cos Jesus was the master of his disciples. David and the ancient kings were also called Lord, does it mean that David is now God based on your logic? Genesis 44:18 Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee, speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn against thy servant: for thou art even as Pharaoh. |
TVSA:True, even the trinitarians cannot explain what they claim is the trinity. |
malvisguy212:Prove it? Martin Luther was labeled a heretic becos he refused to accept false teachings and doctrines but we are all witness to the truth he stood for. |
Janosky:Bro God bless you. |
malvisguy212:How is this a proof that Jesus is the same as God. So when people respect and honour Buhari's Children it means the Children are our president. can you see your logic? |
Bruno3000:Thanks Bro. |
bingbagbo:Do you have proof of that in the Bible? |
The trinity doctrine teaches that God the Father, the Son and the Holyspirit are equal and one and the same God. Although a very popular and widely accepted doctrine among christains the trinity doctrine is unbiblical and not in accordance with the word of God. The word Trinity does not appear in the Bible neither was such doctrine taught by the Apostles or known to the early Christains. The trinity doctrine was instituted by men at the Council of Nicaea in AD325 and at Council of Constantinople in AD381. The trinity doctrine has it's origin in pagan Sun god worship that was started by Nimrod and his wife. Who is God and Jesus? The Bible is clear on the identity of God and his Son, Jesus they are 2 different beings or persons Although one in unity and purpose, their relationship is that of father and Son. The Apostles always identified God as the father who has neither beginning or end ,who alone has immortality,all power and authority they also identified and distinguished Jesus as the only begotten Son of God and not God the Father himself here is an example. 2John1:3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. The identity of Jesus was well known to the discples of Jesus Peter in Matt 16:16,Martha the sister of Lazarus, the Centurion man,the high priest and many others including the Demons all identified Jesus as the son of God (remember Demons are fallen Angels)matthew8:29. It is important that we understand who Jesus is, as Jesus himself was interested in knowing whom people said he was. Luke 9:18 All through the Bible the personality of God and Jesus has been established and clearly stated. It will be illogical for Jesus while he was on Earth to teach that he was sent by his father if he himself was the father. The question is who sent Jesus? who did Jesus pray to when he was on the cross or when he raised Lazarus from the grave?Who was Jesus pleading to to take away the cup? John 12:27 Whose will was Jesus referring to when he said father not my will but yours, mark 14:36 The evidence shows that Jesus was not the Father acting as the Son here on Earth but was the Son of God sent by God to the Earth to die as a ransom for man,John 6:38 Jesus, Son of God The trinity doctrine teaches a 3in 1 god, that there are 3 but equal gods. It denies the word of God that says Jesus is the BEGOTTEN Son of God. the same way a biological father proceeds his son so also God the Father proceeds his son, Jesus Christ. The Bible refers to Jesus as the first born of all creations Colossians 1:15,proverbs 8:22-end,Rev 3:14. Jesus was brought into existence at a certain time by his father before the World was created. Acts 13:33, God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee. John5:26 For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; so it was God that gave Jesus life and not Jesus having his own life independently as claimed by trinitarians. here are Jesus own words on his origin and existence. Proverbs 8:22. Unlike the Angels and other created beings who were made by the hand of God, Jesus proceeded or came out from his father John 8:42,16:27&28,17:8 He had the very nature , image and substance of his father, God. which no other created being has. Hebrews 1:4 Being MADE so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. Hebrews 1:5 For unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Note: Angels are sons of God by creation,born again Christains are sons of God by adoption (Romans 8:14-15) but Jesus Christ is the Son of God by inheritance Heb 1:4, Are they Equal? The trinity teaches that Jesus and the Holyspirit are co-equal with God but the Bible is abundantly clear that the son is not Co-equal with God. No where in the Bible did Jesus ever call himself God or equate himself to the father rather he reiterated the fact that he was sent by the father to do the will of the father and that the one who sends another is greater than the one sent.John13:16-20. John 17:13, Matthew 10:40,John 10:18. Rather than claim equality with God as fasely taught by the trinity doctrine Jesus declares that his father is greater than him in John 14:28,he also calls his father his God Matt 27:46,John 20:17, here are some other verses to clearify this point 1Corinthains11:3,Colossians 1:14-19,John 5:19-47,John 5:19 & 5:20,John 5:27, Isaiah 53:11,Isaiah 42:1,Isaiah 49:7 Luke 24:19, Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 2:6 Who, being in the form of God(nature of God, of cos he was born by God so he will bear God's nature), thought it not robbery to be equal with God: 2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men :2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. 2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name. God Honours his Son. After the ressurection and Ascension of Jesus to Heaven God exalted Jesus and gave him a name above every other name Philippians 2:9. It will be illogical for God to exalts and give power and authority to Jesus if he was co- equal with God and already had those privileges.Ephesians 1:20-23, Mark 12:36. The Bible also teaches that at the end of the great controversy between good and evil when all power and principalities have been subdued for the sake of Jesus. Than Jesus will subject all things including himself to God 1Corinthians 15:28. Who is the Holyspirit. The Holyspirit is not a person or being as taught by the trinitarians but the the Holyspirit is the spirit of God and his Son Jesus, Ephesians 4:30, 1Thessalonians 4:8,God is a spirit who has a spirit which is his mind,will,purpose,power, and presence Genesis 1:2, Zachariah 4:6, 1peter 1:1. It is this spirit that God sends to us that dwells in us and enables us to do his will,Romans 8:9&11, 1john4:13, Isaiah 63:11, 1Corinthains 3:16, 1 Corinthians 12:8-11,John 7:39,14:17, Ezeikel 36:27. Just as we showed earlier that Jesus did nothing of his own will or desire but that of his father so also the Holy spirit can only speak and show what it is instructed to say . This is evidence that it is not a being Co-equal with God that has it's own power and will. There are few verses that have been taken out of context and are used by the trinitarians to promote their false doctrines E.g is that the Bible refers to the Holy spirit as HE this does not prove anything because there are examples in the Bible where non- living things are personified or expressed with words like he or his examples are in proverbs 1:20,7:4,8:1,9:1where wisdom and knowledge are reffered to as he,his,she this also applies to the Holy spirit. The Holy Spirit is likened to a gift In Luke 11:13,God pours out his Holy spirit Acts 2:18. The identity and function of the Holy Spirit will be treated in subsequent articles. Implications of the Trinity doctrine. This doctrine has severe implications and consequences as it teaches that Jesus is not the literal Son of God,that Jesus is the same age as the father and has always existed along side him but this will make them twins and not a real Father and Son it also teaches that the holyspirit is a being Co-equal and co-eternal making them triplets. Thus the trinity doctrine denies that both the father and son are two different persons thus it denies their personality or persons. Apostle Paul taught Christains that the Antichrist is anyone or teaching that denies Jesus is the son of God and thus denies the father and son 1John2:22-23,1john 4:3 It distorts who God says he is. The doctrine of trinity also lends credance or promotes the Catholic teaching that Mary is the mother of God since it claims Jesus is God and Co-equal to God. It is not surprising that this trinity doctrine was instituted by the usual suspects the Catholic Church and they claim it is the foundation on which all other of there teachings is based on. Note:The angel that delivered the message to Virgin Mary told her that the child will be called( the Son of God) and not God. Nothing stops God from describing Jesus as God or his twin or avatar, rather he used the adjective SON of God to distinguish him from the Father. Conclusion. The trinity doctrine cannot be proved in the Bible neither does it have any divine origin or inspiration. It is one of those man made doctrines that have crept into Christaintity. it is unacceptable to God and contracdicts God's word about himself. A lot of lies have been sold to us as Bible doctrines which are not Biblical, I urge the readers to do more research on this topic and to diligently search the word of God 2 Timothy 2:15, just like Paul said that we should prove all things through the scripture, rightfully dividing the word of God and not depending on men or some few Bible verses that have been lifted out of context inorder to suit a preconcieved belief or idea.1Thessalonians 5:21 Thank you.
