                                                                      Q: What is a Trinity?    Part 2

A:  (Part 2 continued)

Trinity Doctrine Evolves:

Almost 300 years after Jesus ascended  the Trinity doctrine was developed by Roman Catholicism and almost always has a
disclaimer attached to it - even today after the preacher preaches it, they will say:
1)  it is a great mystery (wow!...musterion as in Mystery Babylon) and
2)  it is very difficult for the average  person to understand, (that's for sure) &
3)  that you need to have special revelation from God to understand  it. 

Well that is because IT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE! The truth is a person has to be ignorant of what God has testified of Himself. 
The truth is people of pride would rather continue in error rather than admit they have been deceived. Nowhere in the Old
Testament, or in the New Testament is mentioned the doctrine of Trinity. THEORY!

If a person had never stepped into any church and never heard of Trinity, but discovered a bible and read it from cover to cover,
they would never be able to come up with the doctrine of Trinity on their own. At the most they would be confused whether God
and Jesus are One or Two. Forget 1st,  2nd or 3rd person, coequal, co-eternal, Trinity, etc. - it just wouldn't happen. A person
would need a lot of help to get that deceived.

The Trinity doctrine currently states that:
1)  there are 3 separate and different persons that somehow add up to make only  
     One God.
2)  Trinity theory says that God the Father is the 1st person of the Godhead,
3)  Jesus Christ is the 2nd person of the Godhead, and
4)  the Holy Ghost/Holy Spirit is the 3rd person of the Godhead.
5)  They profess that God is 3 separate spirits and 3 separate persons that are
     each coequal with each other.
6)  They say each of the persons or spirits are not one of the others but separate
      individuals.
7)  They say there is One God the Father, One God the Son and One God the Holy Spirit - but somehow these are not 3
Gods - they are One God. (Huh?)
8)  They say it a great mystery and very hard to understand and you must believe
     it by faith.

but most importantly what they do not tell you is that by accepting Trinity doctrine:
9) The name of "Jesus" is replaced by "in the name of the Father, the Son, and
    the Holy Spirit."

None of that is scriptural.  In fact, they are adding deceptive teaching to the Word of God!  1. Jesus proclaimed that His Father
was greater than Him!  2. If God the Son is Co-equal why does only the Father know the time of the end? 3. Further, the scriptures
declare that the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, and is the Father of Jesus - which would cause Jesus to have 2 Fathers - two
separate persons and/or spirits if one were to believe the Trinity doctrine.  4. Next, the Name of Jesus is above every name
including any titles of deity even if they are CAPITALIZED.

5. Also not only is Jesus NOT the 2nd person of Rome's carnal Trinity doctrine, but Jesus Himself declares that He is the First
and the Last, the Alpha and the Omega, and the Beginning and the End!
6. There is no such term in scripture as "God the Son"! The scriptures very clearly state the "Son of God" & never once say "God
the Son" yet the Trinity doctrine changes this and many other words around to confuse people into accepting twisted theories.
Remember Jesus is the Author and Finisher of our faith, the Word of God - wouldn't He know and say so in scripture if it were so?

7. There is no such term in scripture as "God the Holy Ghost/Spirit". Nope, not at all. But there is the "Spirit of God!"

The whole Trinity teaching was designed by the twister of scripture the same way he did in the garden with Eve. Why?  8. To do
away with the name of Jesus Christ in Ministry. No wonder Peter spoke of unlearned men who seduce people using great
swelling words of emptiness to lead silly gullible people captive!

If that isn't enough error with the Trinity theory then check out this next Scriptural truth: 

God is not even a person, for God is SPIRIT!

9. There is not one verse in the entire bible that says that God is a "person". The scriptures - in fact Jesus Himself, declares that
"God is Spirit"!  In fact in only one single scripture in Hebrews 1:3,  that only a couple of bible translations have inserted the term "person"
in a translation error, but original Greek manuscripts say that Jesus is "the express image of God's "being" (or "substance") as the majority
of translations correctly state. The majority of translations say "Being", "Substance", or "Essence". [Keep in mind that the KJV was
translated at a time when the Trinity doctrine was popular because the Church of England had recently been "born" after having broken
away from the
Roman church in the 1530's (under Henry VIII).]

John 4:22-24  (EKJ) "You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.  But the hour is coming,
and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him. 
God is Spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth."

Well, what about those who believe in Trinity?

Does this mean that everyone who believes in the Trinity doctrine is satanic or a deceiver?  NO! But what it does mean is that
somewhere along the road of faith they were taught that Trinity was a teaching of Christ and they did not fact check the Word of
God which is our God breathed source of truth. Many were likely taught Trinity when they were young children and had no
reason to doubt what they heard.

In fact every "Christian" denomination claims that it gets their doctrine from the bible, but how many of their members have even
read the bible from cover to cover, never mind seriously studied the bible, or use word for word translations? They've trusted in
their Pastors & Teachers to proclaim truth but God says cursed is the man that trusts in flesh (man). When our eternal fate
depends on what we believe - we should be very, very sure that what we are believing is the Word of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ. There is no excuse for long term Christians not to have studied the Word of God to know His testimony to His children.
The Word is available in video, audio, and in Braille too!

By the way some main "denominations" forbade their members to read the bible on their own! Only the priest could read it to
someone!  In fact for centuries one conducted most of their religious rituals in a foreign language no one understood!

The scriptures tell us that Faith comes from hearing God's Word! God's Holy Spirit will always confirm His Word to a true
worshipper. And a true worshipper can only worship God in Spirit and in Truth - or else they are not a true worshipper.

Romans 10:17 (KJ2)  "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God."
Romans 10:17 (ESV) "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ."

John 4:22-24  (EKJ) "You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.  But the hour is
coming,
and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him.  God
is Spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth."

Jesus is the only Author and Finisher of our faith!  No one can add to Scripture! There are many today who claim to have the
Spirit of God but do not worship Him in Spirit and Truth. That is why there has and there will be a great falling away - for many
have given their ears to seducing spirits and the doctrines of devils. The daughters of Mystery Religion, Babylon, have been
busy seducing the world for their master.

But rather than go over the history of various religions in this article, let us look at why Satan is the main beneficiary in having us
believe in a doctrine of Trinity.

The Promised Savior:

Back in the garden of Eden, God put Satan on notice when He cursed the serpent of old. God promised that one day a Savior for
mankind would be born according to the descendents (offspring) of Eve.  A futuristic (flesh and blood) Man who would one day
crush Satan! Unfortunately, in the meantime there would be open hostility (enmity) between the two kingdoms - the Kingdom of
God's righteousness & the kingdom of Satan's darkness. And what did the devil do? He twisted God's word to mankind!

Genesis 3:14,15 (NAS)  "The Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, Cursed are you more than all cattle, And more than
every beast of the field; On your belly you will go, And dust you will eat All the days of your life; And I will put enmity between you and the
woman, and between your offspring and hers; He will crush your head, and you will strike His heel.

(AMP) “And I will put enmity (open hostility) Between you and the woman, And between your seed (offspring) and her Seed; He shall
[fatally] bruise your head, And you shall [only] bruise His heel.”

The Crucifixion:

The crucifixion of Jesus was Satan bruising Jesus' heel.  At the end of time, Jesus shall crush Satan's head!

Revelation 12:3-5,17 (KJV) 3 "And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven
heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads. 4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them
to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her Child as soon as it
was born. 5 And she brought forth a Man Child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her Child was caught up
unto God, and to His throne.17  And the dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make war with the remnant of her seed,
which
keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ."

In the above scripture, Revelation 12:4,5,17, this particular "Woman" is the Church - both Israel and the Gentiles that gives birth
to true believers of Jesus Christ. Satan tried to have Jesus killed when He was first born, and there was a great slaughter of
babies two years and under by Herod. A little over 30 years later, Satan eventually entered Judas who delivered Jesus to the Chief
Priests to be killed. When Jesus rose from the dead - He was caught up to God and to His throne. Before Jesus was crucified He
foretold exactly what would happen to Satan - (judged, cast out, & coming to deceive)

Satan Judged:

John 16:8-11 (NKJV) "And when He [the Holy Spirit] has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of
judgment: of sin, because they do not believe in Me; of righteousness, because I go to My Father and you see Me no more; of
judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged."

John 12:3  (NKJV)  "Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out."

John 14:30  (NKJV)  "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me."

As surely as Adam and Eve were judged in the Garden and their death eventually came, Satan was judged the moment Jesus
rose from the dead!  Satan basically freaked out when Jesus rose from the dead, knowing his time is really short - in fact Satan
was cast out of heaven (physically & permanently) and his demons with him. 

The Resurrection, Satan Tossed Out, and Wrath against NT Church:

Revelation 12:7-12 (NKJV)  Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
"And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor
was
a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives
the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.  Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now
salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused
them before our God day and night, has been cast down.  And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives to the death.  Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the
sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Prior to Jesus resurrection, Satan was free to roam the earth (even though cast out from his "office" in heaven), & he was
even able to appear before God with other angels in heaven - as he did in the time of Job for example.  Now with Jesus'
triumphant resurrection, Satan's access was cut off  - with no place was found for him any longer!

No longer in heaven, he can't accuse God's faithful people as He did in the days of Job. Cast out forever, Satan knows his time is
now even shorter to deceive the Nations.

Summary of Trinity Origin & Purpose:

To prevent the gospel of Christ from reaching all the ends of the earth, Satan attempts to hijack it with his own fake religious
system, reinventing Babylon to resemble a Christian denominational system. Using this Mystery Harlot system, Satan comes
up with a plot to protect his kingdom from being subjected to submit to the name of Jesus Christ - he fathers the Trinity doctrine
which replaces the Holy Name of God!

By substituting religious rituals and religious jargon in place of God's Word and by forbidding Jesus name to be used in Ministry
the early churches came under vicious attack! The usage of the name of Jesus is relegated as to being just a common name.

So by limiting the use of Jesus name...in fact doing away with it for purposes of Salvation, Baptism, Casting out Devils, Healing,
Prayer, Preaching, Praising, etc - it is Satan indeed who is the main beneficiary of the Trinity doctrine. By placing confusion on
God's identity and twisting God's Word - again he benefits from the Trinity doctrine. By merging paganism with twisted Christian
doctrine he creates doctrines of devils, deceives the whole world and establishes a false prophet as being his religious presence
on the earth.

Revelation 16:13,14 (KJ2) "And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and
out of the mouth of the false prophet. For they are the spirits of demons, working miracles, who go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the
whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."

Revelation 16:13,14 (NAS) "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.  No wonder,
for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.  Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of
righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds."

Revelation 2:2 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English)
“I know your works, your toil and your patience, and that you cannot tolerate The Evil One, and you have tested those who claim to be
Apostles, and they are not, and you have found them false.”

We hope you will prayerfully consider accepting the truth of God's Word rather than the doctrines and commandments of men.
Take a stand for the faith that was once delivered to the saints. Be noble as were the Berean's who checked the scriptures to
be sure that the teachings of the apostles were in fact verified with the Holy Scriptures.

Use the Authority available to you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth, and believe God's Word as written!

And whatsoever you do:

Colossians 3:17 (KJ2) "And whatsoever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father
by Him."
So there are a few basic arguments (theories) that Trinitarians use to defend their made-up doctrine but they are very weak,
nevertheless let's take a look at them in Part 2


The Holy Spirit in OT: Why No Trinity - Or at the least two (2) persons/spirits in the OT?

If you study the Old testament Genesis to Malachi, you will see although the Jews acknowledged and
embraced the work of the Holy Spirit especially as He spoke through the Prophets. None of them or God ever
said the Holy Spirit was a 2nd or 3rd person of the "Godhead".  God maintained exclusively that He was One
Lord, One Spirit and the people absolutely accepted this.

We should too! As you can see from these few verses below, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit,  and the Spirit of the Lord
(Jehovah, Yahweh, YHWH) are One and the same Spirit.  Jesus acknowledged the same.

1 Samuel 11:6 (NIV) "When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came powerfully upon him, and he burned with anger."

Judges 13:25 (KJ2) "And the Spirit of the LORD began to move him at times in the camp of Dan between Zorah and Eshtaol."

1 Samuel 19:23 (NAS) "So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even on him, and he walked along prophesying until he
came to Naioth."

Numbers 24:2 (NAS) "When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came on him."

Numbers 11:25 (NAS) "Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke with him, and he took some of the power of the Spirit that was
on him and put it on the seventy elders. When the Spirit rested on them, they prophesied--but did not do so again."

II Chronicles 15:1(NAS) "And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded:"

Isaiah 61:1  (KJV)  "The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he
hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;"

1Samuel 16:13 (NIV) "So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of
the Lord came powerfully upon David. Samuel then went to Ramah."

(Joel 2:28) Acts 2:17 (KJ2) "And it shall come to pass in the last days, says God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and
your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:"

In every case God's Spirit came upon man and the term "Spirit of God" is synonymous & interchangeable with the
term "Holy Spirit".  David himself referred to God's Spirit upon him as being the Holy Spirit. Jesus referred to David
as speaking by "the  Holy  Spirit." For example the Psalms of David were all written by David by the anointing of the
Spirit of the Lord.

Psalms 51:11 (ESV) "Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me."

Mark 12:35,36 (NAS) "And Jesus began to say, as He taught in the temple, "How is it that the scribes say that the Christ is the son of
David?  "David himself said in the Holy Spirit, 'THE LORD SAID TO MY LORD, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I PUT YOUR ENEMIES
BENEATH YOUR FEET."'

So the Holy Spirit is the SAME Spirit as the Spirit of God or the Spirit of the Lord - or when the Lord says "My Spirit" as in
"pour out My Spirit on all flesh". Just a different aspect of God's ministry and relationship to mankind.  When the Spirit of
Truth (Holy Spirit/Comforter/Spirit of Christ) came to the Church at Pentecost in Acts 2 - that is when Jesus baptized
believers with the Spirit. The apostle Paul also referred to the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of Christ.  And why not, it is God's
truth. 

If someone wants to believe in Trinity by the same arguments Trinitarians use to advocate multiple persons and/or spirits ( 2 for
sure - the Father and the Holy Spirit), then by that logic the Spirit of Truth would be another Spirit, the Spirit of Christ would be
another Spirit, so there would be 4 Spirits by now. 

Jesus is the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit!

Matthew 3:11(NAS) "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes One who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not
worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire."

Jesus is the Comforter, The Spirit of Truth, The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Christ, etc. He is in the Father (Spirit of God) and the
Father is in Him.

Romans 8:9 (KJ2)"But you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if any man have not
the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His."

John 14:7 (NIV) "the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept Him, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him. But you know Him, for He lives
with you and will be in you."

John 14:5-11  (Aramaic Bible in Plain English) 5Thoma said to Him, "Our Lord, we do not know where You are going and how can we know the
way?" 6Yeshua said to Him, "I AM THE LIVING GOD, The Way and The Truth and The Life; no man comes to My Father but by Me alone."

7"If you had known Me, you also would have known My Father, and from this hour you do know Him and you have seen Him."

8Philippus said to Him, "Our Lord, show us The Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9Yeshua said to him, "All this time I am with you and you
have not known Me Phillip? Whoever has seen Me has seen The Father, and how do you say, 'Show us The Father'?" 10* "Do you not
believe that I am in My Father and my Father in Me? The words which I am speaking, I am not speaking from Myself, but My Father who
dwells within Me, He does these works." 11"Believe that I am in My Father and my Father in me, otherwise believe because of the works."

1Corinthians 12:13 (NAS) "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body, whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free, and we were all
made to drink of one Spirit."

Brothers, Sisters - by this time we have covered a lot of scripture.  No Trinity scriptures anywhere. No one explaining the mystery of
Trinity - because the people of the scriptures know no such doctrine.  Every scripture points to and is teaching One (Spirit). Trinity was
introduced to: 1) replace the name of Jesus, who alone is the Head of the Church. 2) cause confusion and division in the Body of Christ. 3)
persecute the Church.

Mathew 28:19 - One Scripture - One Answer:

With this one scripture, men have tried to bury the name of Jesus from everything the apostles taught.

In Matthew 28:19, Jesus commands His disciples to go out into the world and preach the gospel to every person, baptizing them in "the name
of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost."  He tells them to tarry though and wait in Jerusalem until they receive the promised Holy Spirit. 
So they do, wait, fast, and pray. Then boom Acts chapter 2. They are all baptized with the Holy Spirit, including Jesus mother Mary. Now they
start to fulfill Matthew 28:19 - And the disciples proceeded to baptize everyone in the name of Jesus Christ - clearly understanding that His
name is Jesus.  Note that prior to this command  - during Jesus's 3 year ministry - they also baptized in Jesus name.

Nowhere in scripture, from Pentecost & on, was anyone ever baptised in any other name or titles or even prayed for in any titles -
but they used the name Jesus exclusively! They understood that although those and many other majestic titles belonged to the Lord
from heaven - Jesus has only one name!   see article Baptism for examples.

If anyone ever tells you any different - ask them to show you where that is in the Word! Notice that Matthew 28:19 does not say that God
is three persons or three spirits or three God's. The truth is that God has revealed Himself to mankind in 3 ways in 3 distinct time periods
(dispensations) - as the Father in Creation, the Son in Redemption, and as the Holy Spirit indwelling and empowering believers. Three
manifestations of God, but the same Eternal Spirit. In Matthew 28:19 Jesus Himself explicitly tells us that "Jesus is the name" of the Father,
Son, and Holy Spirit. Some early manuscripts even say "in my name" (not titles).    see article what is God's name?

Acts 4:12  (KJV) "Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be
saved.


1John 5:7 - What about this one?

Another scripture, 1John 5:7, is an interesting one & has been the topic of theological dispute for centuries as it was originally
written in the margin as someone's (maybe a monk) explanation of how it could tie into trinity teaching  ( 1John 5:7  is said by
many theologians, and various bible versions to have been added to the Vatican manuscripts by Rome hundreds of years
after the fact), however the scripture goes like this:

1John 5:7 (KJV)  "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."

Actually this is a powerful non-Trinitarian scripture: This scripture does not say there are three persons who bear record - it says
the opposite - these three are ONE! If God wanted us to know that He was three persons He would have said that there are three
persons who bear record in heaven.  But He never says that in His Word because it is not so. One Spirit, One God! Again one
Lord manifest as the Father in the Heaven realm, manifest as the Word made flesh while on the earth, and upon ascension as the
Spirit of Christ in our hearts. Three different time periods (dispensations), three different manifestations of the same Spirit of
God who is one Lord! One Lord, one faith, one baptism.  (You and your word are the same, always with you - and both come
from  your one same spirit.) 

John 1:1,10,14 (KJV)  "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 10  He was in the world, and the
world was made by him, and the world knew him not. 14  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory,
the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

1 Timothy 3:16 (KJV) "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."

Colossians 2:6-10 (KJV)  "As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in Him:    Rooted and built up in Him, and
stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.   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 bodilyAnd ye are complete in Him, which is the head of all principality and power:"

(If you are getting interested in this studying this further, you can check out this article  Q & A: Is Jesus God?)

Heaven is God's throne, the earth is His footstool, and the universe cannot contain Him! He is omnipresent!   God resides in
countless believers all around the planet, while at the same time participating in millions of conversations, receiving and
answering prayers, doing mighty works, etc. in His body the Church! Our body is the temple of God's Spirit, the Holy Ghost!


But what about Genesis 1: "Let us make man in our own image"?
