THE TRINITYThe Trinity as defined byHastings Dictionary of the Bible Page 1015:The Christian doctrine of Godas existing in three Persons and one Substanceis not demonstrable by logic or scriptual proofRegardless, those that believe in and teach the Trinitybelieve that it is, "...a necessary "hypothesis"that there are three persons to the Godhead:God the FatherThe Holy Ghost (Spirit)Jesus Christ the Son of GodHypothesis as defined by Webster's Dictionary:A system or theory imagined or assumedto account for what is not understoodAn unproved theory, a speculative plan...a formulation of underlying principlesof certain observed phenomenawhich has been verified to some degree... a conjecture; guessFacts:First of all, God ..IS.. Spirit; not "a" SpiritJohn 4:24"God is SPIRIT,and those who are worshiping himmust be worshiping in spirit and truth"Nowhere in the Scripturesis God referred to or called a "trinity"or a person or consisting of threeThe word "three" is never usedin reference to Who or What God isGod is never called or referred to as "a person"The Holy Spirit is never called "God"Since Christ is the Son,he cannot also be the Fatheror be coequal with his FatherJesus plainly said:John 14:28"My Father is GREATER than I"John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sentCountless things can be said to "be ONE"in numerous forms of close relationship;In this close relationship of purpose,will, harmony, etc; our Lord said:John 10:30"I and the Father, We are ONE"One plus one plus one DOES NOT equal oneOne God plus one God plus one GodDOES NOT equal one GodOne third of a God plus one third of a God plus one third of a GodDOES NOT equal one whole GodThe Holy Spirit ..OF.. God cannot also be that same GodANYTHING that is either "from" or "of " something ELSEcannot also "BE" that something else no matter what or who it isA "Father" and a "Son"CANNOT ALSO BE THE SAME PERSONJesus did not say:"I and the Father, We are one GOD," did He? No, He did notDo the Scriptures, however, tell usthat there is only ONE GOD? Yes, they doDo the Scriptures, tell usWHO that ONE God is? Yes, they doDo the Scriptures tell uswhat the relationship of Jesus Christ iswith that ONE God? Yes, they doIn fact, all of these things are answered in ONE ScriptureHere is the ONLY Scripture you will EVER need forunderstanding Who Jesus Christ and God the Father areand how many Gods there are, andWho composes that ONE God1Cor 8:5-6"For though there be that are called gods,whether in heaven or in earth,(as there be gods many and lords many,)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 whomare all things and we by himand the next verse:Howbeit there is not in every man that knowledge (ver 7)How many Gods are there?Answer: "ONE God."Of Whom is this ONE God composed?Answer: "the FATHER"NOT, the Father, AND the Son, AND the Holy GhostJust, "the Father!" ONLY,"the Father "ONE God, the FATHER!"Is Jesus Christan equal part of this "ONE God?"NO, He is notLet Gods' Word tell usWe don’t need to speculate and theorizeHere is Who and What Jesus Christ is,He is the "ONE Lord"This Scripture tells us that"ALL IS OUT OF" GOD (the FATHER)And this Scripture tells us that"ALL IS THROUGH" Jesus ChristGod the Father is the first cause of alland ALL IS OUT GOD,even Jesus Christ is "OUT of God "John 16:27-28"...I (Jesus) came OUT from GodI CAME OUT from the FATHER..."Now if Jesus came out from the trinity,why doesn’t the Scriptures say so?He didn’t come out from the trinityand He didn’t come out of the Holy Spirit,but HE DID COME, "...OUT FROM THE FATHER!"And after Jesus Christ came OUT from the Father,ALL ELSE came THROUGH Jesus Christ:Col 1: 14-17Who (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God,the firstborn of every creature:For by him were all things created, that are in heaven,and that are in the earth, visible and invisible,whether they be thrones, or dominions or principalities,or powers:all things were created by him and for him:And he is before all things, and by him all things consistChrist came OUT FROM THE FATHERand all else was created THROUGH Jesus ChristThere is no trinity here!!1Tim 2:5For there is ONE God,and ONE Mediator OF God and mankind, the MAN Christ Jesus..."John 14:28"...I am going to the Father, for the Father is GREATER than I"John 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent1Cor 11:3"Now I want you to be awarethat the Head of every man is Christ,yet the head of the woman is the man,yet the Head of Christ IS GOD"Eph 1:3"Blessed be the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ"Col 1:3"We are thanking the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ"1Pet 1:3"Blessed be the God and Father " OF OUR LORD Jesus Christ,Eph 1:17"...that the GOD OF OUR LORD Jesus Christ, the FATHER..."And just who was it;who raised Jesus from the grave?Acts 2:24"Ye men of Israel, hear these words,Jesus of Nazareth... whom GOD HAS RAISED UPhaving loosed the pains OF DEATH"Rom 8:9,11,14"But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit,if so be that the Spirit OF GOD dwell in you...But if the Spirit OF HIM (GOD the FATHER)that RAISED UP JESUS FROM THE DEAD dwell in you,He (GOD the FATHER) that RAISED UP CHRIST FROM THE DEADshall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit that dwells in you...For as many as are led by the SPIRIT OF GOD (GOD the FATHER),they are the sons of God (God the Father, not sons of the Son)"Gal 1:1"Paul, an apostle, (not of man, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ,and GOD THE FATHER, WHO RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD")Let me make this as easy as I canThere is one God; the FatherThe Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God the FatherJesus Christ the Son,came forth and proceededFROM and OUT of God the FatherThen Jesus Christ did all the creatingwhich is precisely why he being the "Creator"could die and save his entire creationThe Son was given the full measure of the Fathers Spiritand he in turn gives us measures of this same SpiritIf the trinity was true, and the Holy Spirit was a person...when the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary and she conceived-Jesus would be the Son of the Holy Spirit and not the Son of GodIn Conclusion,Is Jesus God or is he not God?Yes Jesus is God,When the Pharisees accused Jesus of blasphemingbecause He said He was "The SON of God,"Jesus reminded themthat their own scriptures state that, "YE ARE GODS"Psalm 82:6"I have said, YE ARE GODS;and all of you are CHILDREN OF THE MOST HIGH"So Jesus is God and Ye are Godsboth having come forth from the ONLY true God-but neither Jesus or Ye;are or ever will be the ONLY true God the Fatherwho is GREATEST of allEph 5:31-32"For WE (believers) ARE membersof His (Jesus) body, of His flesh, and of His bonesFor this cause shall a man leave his father and mother,and shall be joined unto his wife,and they TWO shall be ONE fleshThis is a great mystery:but I speak concerning Christ and THE CHURCH""That they ALL may be ONE(Who?-ALL; How many?-ONE)as you Father are in Me, and I in You,that they also may be ONE in US...John 17:21-22And the glory which You gave to Me I have given them,that they may be ONE, EVEN AS WE ARE ONE"This IS the Scripture that Jesus quotedThey didn't accept what Jesus said,and some people will not accept what I am sayingOnce again;Gen 2:24"Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be ONE FLESH"How many people?-TWO;How many flesh?-ONEThere, the Scriptural answer!!"...that they may be ONE,even as WE (Jesus AND His Father) ARE ONE!!HOW many Persons? Jesus & Father-TWO;HOW many GODS?-ONE GODAs a "husband and wife" ARE ONE,and "Jesus and His Church," ARE ONE,so also "Jesus and His Father," ARE ONEWill there be two or three Godsto choose from after the dust settles?NO!!Jesus came forth and proceededFROM and OUT of the Father and is our bridgewhich brings what was lost back unto the FatherFor now he sits at the "right hand" of the FatherWhen he has accomplishedexactly what he came into being to DOwhat will happen to him and his rule?1Cor 15:24,25Then shall the end come, when he (Christ)hands over the Kingdom to God the Fatherafter he has destroyed all dominion, authority, and powerFor he must reign ..UNTIL.. he has put all his enemies under his feetJohn 17:3And this is life eternal, that they might know theethe ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ whom thou hast sent
