The Trinity: Fiction or Fact?

What we should all note first is that the word trinity doesnt exist anywhere in the Bible. Several Scriptures make it clear that God is not a Trinity. For example: "Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is One Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4). For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus who gave Himself a ransom for all to be testified in due time (I Timothy 2:5-6). "He is the FIRST and the LAST and beside Him there is no other." (Isaiah 44:6) Isaiah 43:10 says before me there was no God formed before me or after me. Malachi 2:10 says have we not all one father? Hath not one God created us? Zechariah 14:9 says there shall be one Lord, and his name one! Isaiah 9:6 says his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. We find out the name of God in Matthew 1:21 which says thou shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall save his people. Jesus Christ is NOT the second person of the Godhead or trinity. He is the only one that is in the Godhead. Not much to argue here, perfectly clear that God is not a Trinity. However, I will continue so that the evidence against the Trinity is clearly proven. Only the foolish will continue to buy the Trinity scam. Many Christians like to believe in the Trinity. The ancient Egyptians believed in the trinity. The Egyptian trinity was Osiris, Isis and Horus. They borrowed the idea from the Babylonians. These three Osiris (Nimrod), Isis (Semiramis) and Horus (the son) they exalted as a triad of deities. "Many ancient pagan nations had, three headed gods and a Trinity doctrine. All these have existed from ancient times, and originated with Nimrod and Babylon." (The Two Babylons, by Reverend Alexander Hislop, 1916, Pages 17-18) "The trinity became an international, pagan religion that spread throughout, the world, from its origin with Nimrod, of Babylon. Thus from Semiramis came a, whole new type of paganism. Some of this, religion retained worshipping the sun, moon and stars as god, but most importantly, it produced the triune god with Nimrod, being god, Nimrod becoming incarnate, in the son through the Holy Spirit, and Semiramis being the first Madonna. Thus this trinitarian religion was born, into the world." (Reverend John D. Sims) "In 325 A.D. at the Council of Nicea, Constantine made an official decree, combining the doctrine of the pagan, trinity with the Revelation of Jesus, Christ. The trinity became the law of, the Roman empire. If anyone refused, to accept the new trinity with Jesus, as the physically incarnated divine, son of the father god, they would be, put to death." (Forgers of the Word - Victor Paul Wierwille) "The apostle John described Satan the devil, as having deceived the whole world (Revelations 12:9). His goal has been to keep man from having, a relationship with his Creator. The apostle, Paul described Satan as the god of this world, who has blinded them that believe not (2 Corinthians 4:4). "In fact, you will learn that Satan is the, author of the trinity doctrine and that, this false god is a counterfeita substitute, deitydesigned to deceive millions into, unwittingly worshipping him, while thinking, they are serving the God of the Bible." (Founded On False Knowledge, by David Pack) Still according to many Christians, God is a Trinity consisting of the Father, the Holy Ghost, and the Son.

The Facts Lets go over it: 1. NOWHERE in Scripture is God stated to be or called a Trinity. 2. NOWHERE in Scripture is the word Three used to reference whom or what God is. 3. NOWHERE in Scripture is God referred to or called Three Persons. Another very interesting point is that the Hastings Dictionary of the Bible states the following: The Christian doctrine of God as existing in three Persons and one Substance is not demonstrable by logic or Scriptural proof. That doesnt stop certain Christians from claiming the Trinity is true, as they need to believe it because they are so afraid of the truth. Also, it should be noted that NOWHERE in the Bible is God referred to as Substance. What is God, according to Scripture? God is a (Singular) Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. John 4:24 What the Hastings Dictionary inserts into the above comment is that the Trinity is a necessary hypothesis. Really? Basically admitting it isnt real but they must believe it? Look up the word hypothesis in the dictionary and notice it is a guess, but some Christians claim it (the Trinity) is a fact, without proving any of it. What is clear is that certain Christians do exactly what God warns them against doing. Adding to or taking away from His word in Revelations 21:16-18. God told Christians to keep away from the traditions of men (Mark 7:8; Colossians 2:8). But these Christians have clearly demonstrated they couldnt care less what God wants, as they care what they themselves want and can get. Fact: The Trinity or any explanation claiming the Trinity is remotely true, doesnt exist in the Bible. Theologians have admitted that it is a hypothesis. What more do we need? The Origins of the Trinity The origins of trinity in Christianity begins with the early Plato Gnostics, who were the earliest Christian trinitarians, on record. They were heavily influenced by the kaballistic Jewish influence of the day, which had their own trinity namely... The En Soph [Father] who produced the Kether [Crown], who in turn produced the male/female tandem godhead, that in turn produced the universe via their pantheistic Sephiroth godhead. With the gradual assimilation of Plato-Gnosticism (Greeks from 120 AD onwards) into the ranks of the early Christian groups, these then formulated their own doctrine and they made many changes of the Godhead. Yet it was not until decades later towards the 3rd century A.D., that the trinitarian formula, as is listed in Matthew 28:19 was initiated and it took Origen and Turtullian to do it.

No other text has counted for so much in the dogmatic development of the Church as the text at the end of Matthew 28:19: "Go ye therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptising them into the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the holy Ghost: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you." Professor Swete, Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, in his book on the Apostles' creed (London, 1894), points out that the triple formula "forms the framework" of the socalled Apostles' creed. He writes: "Thus the Baptismal creed is seen to rest on the Baptismal words. It was the answer of the Church to the Lord's final revelation of the Name of God." But is this a true and valid statement? Matthew 28:19 is the only verse in the entire Bible with the Trinity formula for baptism. This is the Trinity baptism formula the majority of "Christianity" adheres to. In spite of the numerous direct commands to baptize in Jesus Name (Acts 10:48; 2:38), what seem to be direct accounts of baptism services in Jesus Name (Acts 8:16; 19:5; 22:16), and other "types" (Romans 6:3; Galatians 3:27; 1 Corinthians 1:13) that all point to baptism being performed in the Name of Jesus by the Apostolic Church. Other Sources In 1995, a Hebrew Scholar, trinity Baptist at that, discovered the historic copies of the ancient extant scriptures of the Shem Tov manuscripts hidden away for millennium written in Hebrew of the book of Matthew. This Matthew 28:18-20 read: Jesus came to them and said: All power in heaven and earth has been given to me, you go to them and take care of them so that they fulfill all the things I have commissioned you. (I am) with you forever. "Matthew collected the oracles (ta logia) in the Hebrew language, and each interpreted them as best he could." - Papias (Eusebius, H.E. 3.39.16). "Matthew also issued a written Gospel among the Hebrews n their own dialect while Peter and Paul were preaching at Rome and laying the foundations of the church." Irenaeus, Adv. Haer. 3.1.1 "As having learnt by tradition concerning the four Gospels, which alone are unquestionable in the Church of God under heaven, that first was written according to Matthew, who was once a tax collector but afterwards an apostle of Jesus Christ, who published it for those who from Judaism came to believe, composed as it was in the Hebrew language." - Origen (Eusebius, H.E. 6.25.4). Some seventeen (17) times in his works prior to Nicea, Eusebius quotes Matthew 28:19 as "Go and make disciples of all nations in my name" without mentioning the Trinity. Eusebius (265-339) was the Bishop of Caesarea around 314 was referred to as the son of Pamphilus. He wrote many books, the best known of which is the Ecclesiastical History of Eusebius. Other writings were the Praeparatio, the Demonstratio from which we have The Proof of the Gospel, Quaestiones ad Stephanum, and the Epitome. According to the

New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, "His time considered him its most learned man." Matthew 28:19 "... has been disputed on textual grounds, but in the opinion of many scholars the words may still be regarded as part of the true text of Matthew. There is, however, grave doubt whether thy may be the ipsissima verba of Jesus. The evidence of Acts 2:38; 10:48 (cf. 8:16; 19:5), supported by Gal. 3:27; Rom 6:3, suggest that baptism in early Christianity was administered, not in the threefold name, but "in the name of Jesus Christ" or "in the name of the Lord Jesus." This is difficult to reconcile with the specific instructions of the verse at the end of Matthew." The Interpreters Dictionary of the Bible, 1962, page 351. "Critical scholarship, on the whole, rejects the traditional attribution of the tripartite baptismal formula to Jesus and regards it as of later origin. Undoubtedly then the baptismal formula originally consisted of one part and it gradually developed into its tripartite form." The Philosophy of the Church Fathers, Vol. 1, Harry Austryn Wolfson, 1964, pg 143. "The historical riddle is not solved by Matthew 28:19, since, according to a wide scholarly consensus, it is not an authentic saying of Jesus, not even an elaboration of a Jesus-saying on baptism." From The Anchor Bible Dictionary, Vol. 1, 1992, page 585. It is time for modern-day Christianity to get back to the actual words of our Lord Jesus and quote the words as they were actually written in the "Everlasting Gospel" of Matthew as: "Go ye into all the world and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Matthew 28:19). "And this gospel of the kingdom shall first be preached in all the world, for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come" (Matthew 24:14). Could the correct rendition of Matthews Gospel play a part in the distribution of the Everlasting Gospel? (Revelation 14:6 -- "And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people").
