One God or Three: For more than 3,000 years,
Jews have repeated
Deuteronomy 6:4. “Hear, O
Israel: The Lord our God is one
Lord.” This sacred passage is
called the Shema (pronounced
shaw-mah and is named after
the Hebrew for its first word)
and has been held in high
esteem and memorized by
devout Jews for centuries.
Trinitarians say if the Bible says
there is only one God then all
three must be one, and yet
others say if there is only one
God, then how can God be
composed of three persons? If
Christians could only accept the
simple words of Scripture
instead of reading into it and
trying to make Scripture say
something it does not say. This
verse is simply saying that
there is but one true God the
Father of whom are all things.
When Moses said, “The Lord
our God is one,” Israel was
surrounded by polytheistic
nations that worshiped many
gods and were constantly
involved in petty bickering and
rivalry. In Deuteronomy
chapter 6 we find Moses
exhorts Israel to hear God and
to keep His Commandments.
And what was the most broken
Commandment in Old
Testament times? Idolatry!
Polytheism is seen rampant all
through the Old Testament and
hence God constantly rebuking
Israel for idolatry. They
worshipped many false Gods
including the sun and the moon
as male and female deities. As
a result, every devout Jew
recites the Shema twice every
day, and still do to this very day
to keep up the great ancient
national protest against the
polytheisms and pantheisms of
the heathen world. It is the
great utterance of the national
faith in One Jehovah! What
many fail to recognise is that to
the Jews, there is only one God,
and the Spirit of God is just
that, not a separate being or
God. The Jews were God's
chosen people and God raised
the Jewish nation as non-
Trinitarian which has never
changed. Trinitarians often try
and use the language of the
Jews to prove the Trinity
doctrine and yet the people
that this language belongs to
were never Trinitarians! The
Scriptures below reveal there is
but one God.
“Have we not all one father?
Has not one God created us?
Why do we deal treacherously
every man against his brother,
by profaning the covenant of
our fathers?” Malachi 2:10
“Jesus answered him, The first
of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our
God is one Lord: 32 The scribe
said unto him, Well, Master,
you have said the truth: for
there is one God; and there is
none other but he:” Mark 12:29,
32
“Seeing it is one God, which
shall justify the circumcision by
faith, and uncircumcision
through faith.” Romans 3:30
“You believest that there is one
God; you doest well: the devils
also believe, and tremble.”
James 2:19. These devils are
fallen angels who knew God
and His Son. So they know
“there is one God” and they
know that Jesus is the “Son of
God,” and not the one true
God. “they cried out, saying,
What have we to do with you,
Jesus, you Son of God?”
Matthew 8:29
“Now unto the King eternal,
immortal, invisible, the only
wise God, be honour and glory
for ever and ever.” 1 Timothy
1:17
Note: The following Scriptures
also state that there is one
God. But does the Bible include
Jesus as the one God as the
trinity doctrine claims, or is
there one God “and” also one
Lord Jesus Christ meaning they
are two separate beings?
“There is one body, and one
Spirit, even as you are called in
one hope of your calling; One
Lord [Jesus], one faith, one
baptism, One God and Father
of all, who is above all, and
through all, and in you all.”
Ephesians 4:4-6
“For there is one God, and one
mediator between God and
men, the man Christ Jesus.” 1
Timothy 2:5
“And this is life eternal, that
they might know you the only
true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom you have sent.” John
17:3
“For there are certain men
crept in unawares, who were
before of old ordained to this
condemnation, ungodly men,
turning the grace of our God
into lasciviousness, and
denying the only Lord God, and
our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude 1:4
“But to us there is but one God,
the Father, of whom are all
things, and we in him; and one
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are
all things, and we by him.” 1
Corinthians 8:6
So Paul, John and Jude state
that the Father is the only true
God while excluding Jesus
Christ revealing that He is not
the Father and separate from
the one true God the Father. So
the only contradiction would be
a belief in the trinity.
Since the Trinity doctrine
teaches a three in one God,
then Trinitarians use the
corresponding phrases “God
the Father,” “God the Son” and
“God the Spirit.” They call all
three God's. But since the Bible
says there is only one God,
then Trinitarians have to say
that all three are one God. If
this were true, then indeed the
Bible would use these phrases
and call them all God. So is it
true? Does the Bible say this?
No! If there really were three
God's then the Bible would use
these phrases. But it doesn't
because there isn't. The Bible
means what it says and says
what it means! It says there is
only one God being “God the
Father” and so the Father is the
only one called God. The
phrases “God the Son” and
“God the Spirit” do not exist
anywhere in Scripture, not
even once! These phrases
originated from the Catholic
Church and were made up to
match the doctrine they
created. The Bible uses the
phrase “Son of God” because
that is who He is. And it uses
“Spirit of God” or “Spirit of the
Father” as that is what it is. So
why are Trinitarians using
made up phrases that have an
entirely different meaning and
hence are not found in the
Bible? If you are using the
Catholic phrases “God the Son”
or “God the Spirit,” that never
originated from Scripture, then
you are following the Papal
Church and antichrist, not the
inspired words of God.
For Adventists: “The divine
nature in the person of Christ
was not transformed in human
nature and the human nature
of the Son of man was not
changed into the divine nature,
but they were mysteriously
blended in the Saviour of men.
He was not the Father but in
him dwelt all the fullness of the
Godhead bodily,” — (E.G.
White, Lt8a, July 7, 1890)
“ The man Christ Jesus was not
the Lord God Almighty, yet
Christ and the Father are one.”
— (E.G. White, Ms140, 1903)
“ The unity that exists between
Christ and His disciples does
not destroy the personality of
either. They are one in
purpose, in mind, in character,
but not in person. It is thus that
God and Christ are one.” —
(E.G. White, 8T 269.4, 1904)
Since the Trinity is not found in
the Bible as many scholars and
theologians admit, then those
teaching it have to use the
following steps to try and prove
that it does. Firstly, it is said
that the Bible says the Father is
God, (True) and that Jesus is
called God by His Father, (True)
and that the Bible says the Holy
Spirit is God, (Not True). More
on this later. Secondly, it is then
said that since all three are
called God, (Not True) and
Deuteronomy 6:4 says there is
one God, “therefore” all three
must be one! Firstly, you will
note that this is not a “Thus
saith the Lord” and is the type
of assumption that allows you
to make Scripture say anything
you desire. This is called red
fire engine logic. That is, fire
engines are red, my car is red,
therefore my car is a fire
engine! To assume something
as important as who the Father
and Son are like this that
Scripture does not actually say
is foolishness. If God wanted us
to believe He was a Trinity, He
would tell us in clear plain
words. Secondly, there is no
Scripture that specifically states
the Holy Spirit is God so once
again this is erroneously
assumed. So that would only
make a Binity (2), not a Trinity.
And thirdly, while the one true
God calls His Son God, Paul,
John and Jude in the Scriptures
given above unmistakably
exclude Christ from being the
one God. So we are back to
there being just the one true
God the Father just as
Deuteronomy 6:4 states, and
just as the Jewish nation
believed when they wrote
these words, and as they still
believe today. True Christianity
originated from Judaism, not
Catholic paganism. You cannot
argue the doctrine of the Trinity
from the words of the Jews
who wrote them when they
never believed in it.
Most of the Bible was in fact
written by the Jews who never
believed or taught the Trinity
doctrine and still do not today.
How do you teach the Trinity
doctrine from the Bible when it
is a non-Trinitarian book? Not
forgetting that Jesus was a Jew.
Some ignorantly argue that
they were non-Messianic Jews.
But all Jews believe in the
Messiah. Some just failed to
realize He has already come!
So the Bible had non-Trinitarian
authors in fact. Most Christians
have been indoctrinated with
many nice sounding erroneous
ideas to make them think the
doctrine is in the Bible when in
fact it cannot be.
We also know the Bible is a
non-Trinitarian book as the
word Trinity did not exist until
about 200 A.D. at which point
the idea of the Holy Spirit as a
third being and the 3 in 1 still
did not exist. The fully
developed trinity doctrine did
not exist until 381 A.D. So it is
impossible for any of the Bible
authors to have written about
something that did not exist in
their lifetime.
In a discussion between
Summerbell and Flood on
Trinity, p. 38, in regards to the
trinity he says, “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.”
Strange god indeed. I worship
the one true God the Father
and His Son Jesus Christ. Not
some 1 in 3 god that came
from sun and Satan worship!
“And truly our fellowship is
with the Father, and with his
Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3 |
How many beings are there in Godhead:
There can be no doubt that
there are three entities in the
Godhead, but since Scripture
reveals the Holy Spirit is the
Spirit of the Father and Son,
then how many literal beings
are there? Remember that the
trinity doctrine teaches three
“co-equal” beings that are
supposedly three God's that
are one God which does not
make sense I know, but nothing
from Satan does. In the
following verse we find every
possible being is mentioned to
clarify that only the Father
knows the day and the hour. If
the Holy Spirit was a third being
it would have also been
mentioned which would be
more relevant then the angels!
“But of that day and that hour
knows no man, no, not the
angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the
Father.” Mark 13:32

there is but one God, the
Father, of whom are all things,
and we in him; and one Lord
Jesus Christ, by whom are all
things, and we by him.” 1
Corinthians 8:6 — Answer:2
The following two verses are
used by Trinitarians to try and
prove that the Father, Son and
Holy Spirit are one God. But
how many beings are
described in both verses? Two!
According to the trinity
teaching, the first verse should
have said, “he who has seen
me has seen the Father and the
Holy Spirit.” And the second
should have said, “I and my
Father and the Holy Spirit are
one.” But no, there are always
only two beings revealed all
throughout Scripture.
How many beings? “Jesus saith
unto him, Have I been so long
time with you, and yet have
you not known me, Philip? he
that has seen me has seen the
Father; and how sayest you
then, Show us the Father?”

493.1) — Answer:2
How many beings involved in
the work of creation? “The
Father and the Son rested after
Their work of Creation.” — (E.G.
White, MS 25, p. 3, 1898) —
Answer:2
The answer is two every time
and yet according to the trinity
doctrine it should have been
three “co-equal beings” and yet
the Holy Spirit is excluded
every time. And if the Holy
Spirit was a god, then it would
have been called “god the
spirit,” not the “Spirit of God.”
Scripture speaks only of
honoring and worshiping the
Father and Son. Nowhere does
it even hint that we are to
worship the Holy Spirit. All
these verses and more reveal
the Holy Spirit is not a literal
being. In fact some of these
Scriptures prove that it is an
impossibility for the Holy Spirit
to be a literal third being which
is a belief that originated and
was enforced by death by
Emperor Theodosius 348 years
after the cross. Hence the idea
of the Holy Spirit as a third
being could never have come
from Scripture as this was a
manmade idea more than 250
years “after” the Bible was
written. So while there are
three entities, there are only
two literal beings. The Holy
Spirit is the mind, power and
personal presence of God |
[b][/b][b][/b]implication of the trinity: Ever since the death of Jesus,
our adversary has tried to
pervert what Christ
accomplished in His
incarnation (meaning in our
Saviour's life and death). And
since Satan can do nothing
about what Christ actually did
achieve, he does the next best
thing which is to promote the
belief that the divine Son of
God did not actually die at
Calvary. I have heard Pastors
preach that God sent Himself
to die on the cross since the
trinity teaches all three are the
one god. But this leads to
another problem because God
cannot die. So it is claimed that
Jesus had two natures, a divine
nature and a human nature
and only the human nature
died. But to say that the divine
Son of God could not die is as
far from the teachings of the
Bible as darkness is from
light. So we would ask the
Trinitarian to which of the two
natures are we indebted to for
redemption? The answer is the
divine one who died and shed
His blood for us. It should be
obvious that if only the human
nature died, our Redeemer was
only human and the divine Son
of God took no part in the work
of redemption for He could
neither suffer nor die. Satan
also aims to pervert how much
it cost God in sacrificing His
Son. The Father supposedly
never risked anything by giving
up His Son, for they claim that
Christ could not have possibly
sinned. Therefore nothing was
at stake. If only human nature
suffered and died as the trinity
doctrine teaches, then the
divine Christ remained
unscathed. And since God
cannot die, Christ would never
have been able to die under
any circumstance. Yet Jesus
said, “I am He that liveth, and
was dead.” Revelation 1:18
Almost all Christians state that,
“Jesus is the Son of God,” but
there are different meanings
attached to these words. The
sad reality is that most
professed Christians do not
believe Jesus to be the Son of
God if they subscribe to their
denominational statements of
belief. Jehovah's Witnesses say
that Jesus is the Son of God,
but when asked to explain, say
that Jesus was the first angel
that God created and was no
different from Lucifer or the
other angels. Roman Catholics
say that Jesus is the Son of
God, but when they are asked
to explain say there is God the
Father, God the Son, and God
the Holy Spirit, and yet there
are not three gods but one
God. Others claim Jesus is a co-
eternal companion of God
whom God declared to be His
Son, even though He is not
really His Son, while Unitarians
claim Jesus did not exist before
His incarnation. And yet others
will tell you that Jesus became
the Son of God when He was
born in Bethlehem and was not
the Son of God in any other
sense. Every one of these
explanations has the exact
same serious problem which is
not by chance. They all deny
that Jesus is the literal Son of
God in some way which is
exactly what Satan wants.
The trinity doctrine says there
are:
3 beings who are co-eternal
3 beings who are all immortal
3 beings who are all powerful,
all knowing etc.
3 beings who are worthy of
worship and praise
3 beings each acting a different
role
So if all three members of the
Godhead are co-eternal, then
there was “never” a time that
they did not exist, and they all
must be the same infinite age.
If this is true, then the titles
which they possess merely
reflect the roles taken to act
out the plan of redemption.
They cannot then be taken in a
literal sense. For example, the
Son of God then is not really
God's Son, He is the member of
the Godhead playing the role of
the Son. Yet Scripture teaches
us over and over again that
God gave His Son, but the
trinity doctrine tells us that
Jesus was not really God's Son,
He was the member of the
Godhead playing the role of the
Son. The Trinitarian typically
claims that Jesus was referred
to as God's Son because of His
birth in Bethlehem. But the
Bible states that Jesus was
brought forth before all things
were created. So if Jesus has
“always” existed then it is
impossible for Him to be the
Son of God. And if Christ is not
a literal Son, then God cannot
be a literal Father either. And
so the trinity doctrine destroys
the personality of God, and of
His Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
And since this doctrine denies
the Father and Son, which it
also does by teaching the
Father, Son and the Holy Spirit
are the same one God, then
this is a denial of both the
Father and the Son in more
ways than one which 1 John
2:22-23 states is antichrist.
Notice that John says nothing
about denying the Holy Spirit.
Thus more than 100 verses that
state Jesus is the Son of God
apparently do not really mean
what they say at all. Do you
know of any other doctrine that
has to explain away so many
clear Scriptures? If you accept
the Trinity doctrine, then Jesus
cannot be the Son of God. And
if you do not accept Jesus as
being the Son of God, then you
cannot have eternal life! With
these facts in mind, consider
the following Scriptures very
carefully and ask yourself does
this affect your eternal life by
denying who the Father and
Son truly are. And considering
the trinity doctrine is from
Satan, it is not hard to see what
his plan is if your eyes are wide
open.
“Who is a liar but he that
denieth that Jesus is the Christ?
He is antichrist, that denieth
the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son,
the same hath not the Father:
but he that acknowledgeth the
Son hath the Father also.” 1
John 2:22-23
“And this is life eternal, that
they might know you the only
true God, and Jesus Christ,
whom you have sent.” John
17:3
“He that believeth on the Son
has everlasting life: and he that
believeth not the Son shall not
see life; but the wrath of God
abideth on him.” John 3:36
“But these are written, that you
might believe that Jesus is the
Christ, the Son of God; and that
believing you might have life
through his name.” John 20:31
So most important of all is this
doctrine can be a salvation
issue which I would have never
imagined until I studied this
topic in depth and realized all
the implications. And what
about the Holy Spirit. If the
trinity doctrine is wrong, the
Holy Spirit is really a creation of
Satan rather than the Spirit of
the Father and Son. And if this
third being is a creation of
Satan, who would we be giving
our adoration to? What Spirit
would we have? As the above
verses state, knowing exactly
who the Father and Son are is
the key to eternal life. But
understanding the identity of
the Holy Spirit is also
something you cannot afford to
get wrong.
One might ask why the Bible
never tells us to “pray to” or
“worship” the Holy Spirit if it is
a third co-equal being as the
trinity doctrine claims. We are
told to pray “for” the Spirit, but
never “to” the Spirit. Yet as the
trinity doctrine takes stronger
hold on the Church, some are
beginning to do just that
contrary to the teachings of
Scripture. And if you think that
Satan is not leading Christians
to pray to the Holy Spirit, then
watch this 35 second YouTube
video clip. Close the window to
return to this page. Notice that
he says “God the Spirit” which
is a Catholic Trinitarian phrase
and hence is never found in the
Bible which uses the phrase
“Spirit of God” which has a
totally different meaning.
Who would be the four highest
beings in Heaven before the fall
of man (before sin) if the Holy
Spirit was a third co-equal
being as per the Trinity
doctrine? It would be the
Father, Son, Holy Spirit and
Lucifer. Who is it that wants to
be like the most High and be
worshipped and prayed to as
God? (Isaiah 14:12-14) What if
the Holy Spirit was not a third
literal being. Who would then
be the third highest being?
Lucifer! So if the Holy Spirit is
not a third literal being, a
separate God, then who would
be answering our prayers if we
prayed to the “Spirit”? Who
would be setting himself up as
a third “God” worthy of praise
and worship? Has Satan
succeeded in accomplishing his
goal of being included as a
deity? If we now believe the
Holy Spirit can be worshipped
and prayed to just like the
Father and the Son, who
receives our worship? If the
Holy Spirit is not a third being
then what spirit would we have
as per our belief and who
would we be giving our
adoration to?
For Adventists: Before sin —
“Among the inhabitants of
heaven, Satan, next to Christ,
was at one time most honored
of God, and highest in power
and glory.” — (E.G. White, ST,
July 23, 1902). The Spirit of
Prophecy confirms that Satan
did use to be the third highest
being in Heaven. Not a third
being called the Holy Spirit as
the Trinity doctrine claims.
Since the trinity doctrine claims
Jesus is also the one God, an
Adventist author from the
1800's wrote, “To believe that
doctrine, when reading the
scripture we must believe that
God sent Himself into the
world, died to reconcile the
world to Himself, raised
Himself from the dead,
ascended to Himself in heaven,
pleads before Himself in
heaven to reconcile the world
to Himself, and is the only
mediator between man and
Himself… We must believe also
that in the garden God prayed
to Himself, if it were possible,
to let the cup pass from
Himself, and a thousand other
such absurdities.” — (J.
Loughborough)
Some of those other
absurdities it teaches is that
Jesus is the immortal God but
died, is the invisible God but
was seen, is the omnipotent
God but was strengthened by
an angel, is the omniscient God
but did not know the day of his
return, is as great as His Father
but His Father is greater than
He, is equal with the Father and
yet He is the Father, is the Son
but the same age as the Father,
is the Son who has a Father and
the God who has no Father, is
the begotten Son and the
unbegotten God, is very God
and very man, came out from
Himself, prayed to Himself,
gave power to Himself, thanked
Himself, bore witness of
Himself, went back to Himself,
sits at the right hand of
Himself, is His own Father and
His own Son, left Heaven and
yet was there all the time.
There are many things which
are hard to understand in the
Bible, but you can be sure that
God never expects us to
believe impossibilities.
Over and over again you hear it
said that the Gospel is so
simple a child can understand
it. And I agree. But how can
that be the case with the
teaching of the trinity? Not only
do children not understand it,
but our best theologians
cannot even explain it.
However, the thought that God
sent His Son to this earth to die
for you and me is easy to
comprehend when we believe
the simple Bible statement that
Jesus is truly the Son of God!
Not one of three mysterious
beings making up “one God.”
How can you possibly believe
that Jesus is NOT the begotten
Son of the eternal Father and
then share John 3:16 with
others in the hope of inviting
them to take part in eternal
salvation. Doesn't John 3:16
become a lie the moment you
deny He is a Son? A metaphor
did not send a metaphor to
save us. A Father sent us His
Son to save us.
John 3:16 “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.”
2 John 1:3 “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.” |
What does the bible teach:
There is no mystery with the
Biblical view of the Godhead
which reveals there is but one
true God the Father who is a
literal Father, one Lord Jesus
Christ being His literal Son, and
one Holy Spirit being the
presence and power of God
and not a separate being with a
separate consciousness. As one
Christian author wrote. For
God so loved the world, that he
gave his only begotten Son, not
a son by creation as were the
angels, nor a son by adoption
as is the forgiven sinner, but a
Son begotten in the express
image of the Father's person
that is equal in authority and
divine perfection.
Thus we have “God the
Father,” (who is Christ's father)
the “Son of God,” (who is God's
Son) and the “Spirit of God,”
which is His Spirit just as
Scripture keeps telling us over
and over again. The Bible does
not say “god the son” or “god
the spirit.”
Below Paul lists seven distinct
things showing that they are all
separate and that one is not
the other. Hence the Father,
Son and Holy Spirit are three
separate and distinct entities of
which one is not and cannot be
the other. Parentheses are
added.
“There is one body, and one
Spirit [Holy Spirit], even as you
are called in one hope of your
calling; One Lord [Jesus Christ],
one faith, one baptism, One
God and Father of all, who is
above all, and through all, and
in you all.” Ephesians 4:4-6 |
What is the trinity:
The doctrine of the trinity as
taught by most Churches states
that there are three co-equal
(equal in every respect), co-
eternal (the same age),
omniscient (all knowing),
omnipotent (all powerful) gods,
who are not three gods, but
one god. By the words of the
Athanasian Creed it is, “the
Father is God, the Son is God,
and the Holy Spirit is God, and
yet there are not three gods
but one God.” The Athanasian
Creed (Roman Catholic Creed)
says that the one God is three
divine personalities in one
indivisible substance or
essence. It is the one indivisible
nature part which is a problem
because it is maintained that
this constitutes the one God
being 1+1+1=One! That is, the
Father is God, Jesus is God, the
Holy Spirit is God, and yet there
are not three gods but one
God, and that is the Trinity!
You do not have to be very
smart to realise that this makes
no sense at all. Therefore,
those teaching this doctrine tag
it with the word mystery,
stating that you will never be
able to understand it so just
accept it. They may also say,
just because it is Catholic it
does not mean it is wrong. So
in one way or another Satan
has tricked people into
believing this falsehood without
checking it out for themselves.
There is in fact not one
Scripture in the Bible that
literally states the Holy Spirit is
God, not one! And you will later
discover that there is also not
one Scripture that says all three
are one.
Some Churches differ on some
points from orthodoxy, but
regarding the basic premise
being the one God is three gods
in one, it is exactly the same as
the Athanasian Creed. This is
the creed upon which the
Roman Catholic faith is built.
We also find that the word
“Trinity” originated from
Tertullian around 200 AD who
did not even state the
immanent trinity as known
today, the 3 in 1 god came
from Athanasius in 325 AD, and
the idea of the Holy Spirit as a
third being came from three
Cappadocians in 381 AD. Hence
the word “Trinity” and this
doctrine cannot be found
anywhere in the Scriptures. It
was patched together by
Catholic theologians hundreds
of years after the death of the
apostles and long after the
completion of the Bible.
Instead, Trinitarianism comes
from the allegorical ideas of
the Alexandrines and is a
mixture of Greek and Roman
philosophies that are loosely
based on a handful of Bible
verses snatched out of context
or interpolated into the text.
Thus the Trinity is a manmade
doctrine that borrows heavily
from paganism and Greek
philosophy and was developed
long after the Scriptures were
completed. Therefore, this
doctrine could never have
come from Scripture anyway
and has to be taught alongside
the Bible. And so if you had
never heard of it, you would
never come up with it yourself
from just reading the Bible
alone. As a result, you will also
find that eisegesis has to be
used to convince others of this
doctrine.
It was after God confused the
languages at Babel that the sun
began to be worshipped in
three stages as three gods. That
is, the rising sun was god, the
midday sun was god, the
setting sun was god, and yet
there were not three gods but
one god! In other words,
1+1+1=One! This is the absolute
origin of the three in one trinity
doctrine. Knowing who we
worship is the key to eternal
life, so if God was truly a trinity,
you can be sure there would be
unmistakable Scriptures saying
so, but there is none.
Thus the Doctrine of the Trinity,
or Tritheism is a heresy that
proceeds from Romanism and
tantamount to Sunday
Worship. An Abomination
before God. It is a doctrine that
emanates straight from the
dunghill of Roman decretals. It
is philosophy, vain deceit and
man's tradition. It denies Jesus,
preaches another Jesus,
another spirit and another
Gospel.
Colossians 2:8-10 “Beware lest
any man spoil you through
philosophy and vain deceit,
after the tradition of men, after
the rudiments of the world,
and not after Christ. For in him
dwelleth all the fulness of the
Godhead bodily. And you are
complete in him, which is the
head of all principality and
power:”
2 Corinthians 11:3-4, 13-14 “But
I fear, lest by any means, as
the serpent beguiled Eve
through his subtilty, so your
minds should be corrupted
from the simplicity that is in
Christ. 4 For if he that cometh
preacheth another Jesus,
whom we have not preached,
or if you receive another spirit,
which you have not received,
or another gospel, which you
have not accepted, you might
well bear with him. 13 For such
are false apostles, deceitful
workers, transforming
themselves into the apostles of
Christ. 14 And no marvel; for
Satan himself is transformed
into an angel of light.”
2 Peter 2:1-2 “But there were
false prophets also among the
people, even as there shall be
false teachers among you, who
privily shall bring in damnable
heresies, even denying the
Lord that bought them, and
bring upon themselves swift
destruction. And many shall
follow their pernicious ways; by
reason of whom the way of
truth shall be evil spoken of.” |
Those guyx above mi arguing rubbish, twisting scriptures. First of all, hw can somebody say Jesus raised himself when it is clear in the scriptures that his father rose him up. And also. Jesus is God and is not God, it depends on the context because Jesus has a God both in heaven and earth. And lastly I don't serve a three head monster but one God. Now read carefully read all my claims then draw mi bback where u don't understand. Thanks |
Christians like confusing theirselves, they cannot prove the God they serve making him the author of confusion (God forbid). Plz take ur time to visit this link and plz read it carefully. Thanks. www.trinitytruth.org/ |
