The Bible introduce ONE GOD. But the trinitarians do not like it, that' why they add words "3 persons" in it.
NOTE: Do not add or subtract from the words of God (Deut. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19).
------
1 John 5:7 states "...these three are one". But the trinitarians do not like it, that' why they add words "god in 3 persons" in it.
NOTE: Do not add or subtract from the words of God (Deut. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19).
------
John 8:58 states ".... Before Abraham was born, "I am". But the trinitarians do not like it, that' why they add word "God" in it.
NOTE: Do not add or subtract from the words of God (Deut. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19).
------
The bible teaches, One God, The FATHER, not one God, the Father, Son and holy spirit.
As apostle Paul stated “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 Cor. 8:6)
Obviously, the bible excluded the Son and the Holy Spirit from the term one God. So, there was never be a one God in 3 persons.
The Holy Spirit is not even a person. God is not even a person. So please stop adding words in the Bible.
NOTE: Do not add or subtract from the words of God (Deut. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19).
------
John 8:40 states "But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham."
Jesus said, he is telling the truth that he heard from God, so if the term God in the Bible means the Son, the Holy Spirit and the
FATHER (following the silly interpretation of Trinitarians), then, Jesus heard from the Son, Holy Spirit and the Father? Jesus heard
from Jesus? There are two Jesus? What an absurd doctrine.
1 GOD = THE FATHER NOT TRINITY
Itinuro ni Apostol Pablo na para sa mga tunay na Kristiano, iisa lamang ang Dios, ang AMA. Walang aral na itinuro si Apostol Pablo
na iisa lamang ang Dios, ang AMA at anak o ang trinidad.
"Nguni't sa ganang atin ay may ISANG DIOS LAMANG, ANG AMA, na buhat sa kaniya ang lahat ng mga bagay, at tayo'y sa kaniya; at
isa lamang Panginoon, si Jesucristo, na sa pamamagitan niya ang lahat ng mga bagay, at tayo'y sa pamamagitan niya." (1 Corinto
8:6)
------
Ayon sa pagtuturo ni Apostol Pablo, iisa lang ang Dios na kinikilala ng mga tunay na Kristiano, walang iba kundi ang AMA.
Subalit hindi lahat ay nakakaalam nito.....Kahit na may tinatawag na “mga diyos” sa langit at sa lupa, at ang mga tinatawag na “mga
diyos” at “mga panginoon” ay marami, subalit para sa atin ay iisa lamang ang Diyos, ang Ama na lumikha ng lahat ng bagay, at
tayo'y nabubuhay para sa kanya. Iisa ang Panginoon, si Jesu-Cristo, at sa pamamagitan niya'y nilikha ang lahat ng bagay, at sa
pamamagitan din niya'y nabubuhay tayo." (1 Mga Taga-Corinto 8:7, 5-6 MBB05)
Kaya kung hindi ang AMA at madami kang kinikilalang Dios, ibig sabihin hindi ka tunay na Kristiano.
So, if God want to introduce himself as a trinity, one god in 3 persons. We could have read these terms in the Bible. But no, u can
never read these words in the bible. Even trinitarian scholars admit that.
What is written in the bible is enough. The Bible introduce only one true God, that is the FATHER. Don't add another true gods in
it. Because that would be unscriptural.
------
Jesus teaches that THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:3&1), the prophets teaches there is only ONE GOD, THE FATHER
(Deut. 32:6, Psalm 89:26, ISAIAH 63:15, ISAIAH 64:8, Malachi 2:10), the apostles teaches ONE GOD, THE FATHER (1 Cor. 8:6, 2 Cor.
1:3, 2 Cor. 11:31, 1 Cor. 15:24, Gal. 1:1, Rom. 15:6, 1 Thes. 1:1, 1 Tim. 1:2, Titus 1:4, 1 Pet. 1:2, 1 Pet. 1:3, 2 John 1:3, Col. 1:3, Jude
1:1, Eph. 1:3, Eph. 4:6, Eph. 6:23, Matt. 11:25, Luke 10:21). They are all united in teaching that there is ONLY ONE GOD, THE
FATHER, not one god in 3 persons-trinity.
The term TRINITY, GodTheSon, GodTheHolySpirit and Three(3) Persons, One essence, One nature, etc are absent in the
Bible. Yet trinitarians are keep on adding these words in the Holy Scriptures. The Bible clearly commands . Do Not add
or subtract from the words of God(Deut. 4:2, Rev. 22:18-19). That's why
--And for u to realize. When the Bible speak of the phrase SON OF GOD, it referred to 2 SUBJECTS which is Jesus(Son) and the
God(FATHER) which is SON(JESUS) of GOD(FATHER). That’s why when the Bible speaks of the term GOD(true God), It always
referred to the FATHER who is the ONLY TRUE GOD(John 17:1-3, Eph. 4:6, 1 Cor. 8:6A).
--Trinity is NOWHERE to be found in the Scripture, bcoz it is not really in the Scripture. Don't u think, If God is a TRINITY, why no
mention about it?? God declare his singleness since Genesis to Revelation. Only false teachers create the TRINITY.
The fact that the term TRINIY and the like is not found is a proof enough that doctrine Trinity is unscriptural.
--1 GOD is LOGICAL. 1 GOD in 3 PERSONS is ILLOGICAL. God is SINGLE NOT a GROUP, UNIT, RACE, etc. . Accdg. to the Catholic
church, one of those who formulated the doctrine Trinity, “God, of course, cannot perform an absurdity, a contradiction in terms.
HE CANNOT, FOR INSTANCE, MAKE TWO AND TWO EQUAL FIVE.” (Walsh, John. This is Catholicism. New York: Image Book, 1959,
p. 25)
EMPEROR CONSTANTINE DOCTRINE
The Jesus-is-God doctrine came from Emperor Constantine, not from the Holy Scriptures.
The Christ-is-God doctrine is indeed a man-made teaching formulated by the Catholic council in Nicaea in 325 A.D., with the
manipulation and intervention of Emperor Constantine:
"The Council could not agree and after two years, impatient at the delay the Emperor Constantine appeared and addressed the
assembly; ordering them to agree on the divinity of Christ ...." (Challenge of a Liberal Faith, p. 60.)
“The Council could not agree and after two years...." In some references, it states that the Council convened for only two months.
In fact, in a book entitled History of the Church through the Ages Robert H. Brumback it states that the Council of Nicaea
deliberated for merely "sixty-seven days" and not two years. Also, remember that the Council of Nicaea convened in 325 A.D. and
the Nicene Creed was completed in the same year. We used the reference simply to show the intervention of the emperor and
that it was he who ordered the bishops to agree on the divinity of Christ.
Historians attested that for the first time, the church found itself dominated by political the leadership of the head of state.
“Constantine then called a council of the bishops of the Church to work out a solution to the dispute. The Council met at Nicaea in
the early summer of 325.Three hundred bishops of the church were present, but less than ten were from the Western section of
the Empire. The Emperor presided over the Council and paid it’s expenses. For the first time the Church found itself dominated by
the political leadership of the head of state.” (Christianity Through The Centuries, p. 143, Earle E. Cairns)
“…This is what happened at Nicaea. Some six weeks after the Council opened, on June 19, 325, Emperor Constantine insisted that
all bishops who had been present should endorse a new creed that confirmed Christ as a God and condemned Arius. Anyone who
did not sign this document was to be excommunicated and exiled.” (The Jesus Establishment, Johannes Lehmann, p. 173)
On the other hand, the Lord Jesus Christ who is the greatest messenger of God which every man should believe, taught that the
FATHER is the ONLY TRUE GOD.
"After Jesus said these things, he looked toward heaven and prayed, “FATHER, the time has come. Give glory to your Son so that
the Son can give glory to you. And this is eternal life: that people can know you(FATHER), the only true God, and that they can
know Jesus Christ, the one you(FATHER) sent.” (John 17:1-3, Easy to Read Version)

--Some Biblical facts to consider.
• Jesus never once said he is "God." He said, " I said, I am the Son of God " (John 10:36). How can Jesus be God when in
fact he himself has a God ? (Matt.27:46; John 20:17; Eph. 1:3, 17; I Pet. 1:3; Rev. 3:12).
• Paul said "God" 513 times in his epistles and not once is he referring to Jesus, it is always the Father!
• Peter said "God" 46 times in his two epistles and not once is he referring to Jesus, it is always the Father!
• James said "God" 17 times in his epistle and not once is he referring to Jesus, it is always the Father!
• Jesus Is The Son of God, Not God the son!
--That's why those who claim that Jesus is God only need ONE CLEAR and DIRECT VERSE to PROOF that Jesus is God. If they can't
show that ONE CLEAR and DIRECT VERSE and they start to use MANY bible verses to support their claim, it is now an ACT of GOING
BEYOND ON WHAT IS WRITTEN, which was the Apostles WARNED us about.
TRINITY: CAIAPHAS
Caiaphas and the Jewish enemies of Jesus (likewise the TRINITARIANS and Jesus-is-God theology) are the one that claiming that
"Jesus is EQUAL TO GOD AND A GOD" while we (INC) are satisfied on what Lord Jesus said that “THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I”
(John 10:29, JOHN 14:28), “THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD (John 17:3,1)”. Caiaphas and the Jewish enemies of Jesus (likewise
the TRINITARIANS and Jesus-is-God theology) perverse every teaching of Jesus so that they could kill him, As Jesus told them “You
are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, AND DOES NOT
STAND IN THE TRUTH, BECAUSE THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. WHEN HE SPEAKS A LIE, HE SPEAKS FROM HIS OWN RESOURCES, FOR
HE IS A LIAR AND THE FATHER OF IT.” (John 8:44)
TRINITY
"The term 'Trinity' is not found in Scripture [Bible], ... The invention of the term is ascribed to Tertullian (160-220
AD)." [Systematic Theology, by Augustus Hopkins Strong, page 304]
The doctrine Jesus is God was taught by St Ignatius of Antioch (35-110 AD). It means it is taught on the late first and early second
century.
The doctrine Holy Spirit is God was formulated on the third century.
Now, how can St Ignatius of Antioch (35-110 AD) be saved, if he died on the early second century and did not know that the HOLY
SPIRIT is also a God?
In fact, the Christ-is-God doctrine was formulated by the Catholic in the council of Nicaea in 325 AD, with the manipulation and
intervention of Emperor Constantine.
"Thus, for example, it was not until 325 AD., at the Council of Nicaea, that the Church defined for us that it was an article of faith
that Jesus is truly God. In 381, at the Council of Constantinople, it was defined that is an article of faith that the Holy Ghost is
God." (Discourses on the Apostles' Creed, Clement H. Crock, p.206)
The doctrine of Trinity is unscriptural. In fact, the complete formulation of this teaching was declared only at the 11th Synod of
Toledo in 675 AD (Fundamental of Catholic Dogma, p. 53).
--And why Trinitarians limits the number of godhead into 3? Nowhere in the Bible has it stated that godhead is equal to 3. In fact,
Godhead is also found on
“Now the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an EVIL SPIRIT FROM THE LORD terrorized him. “(1 Samuel 16:14)
“And I looked, and behold, in the midst of throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD sent out into all the earth.
(Rev. 5:6)
So, why not include the evil spirit of God and the seven spirits of God on the godhead of the Trinity??
--Even Bible Scholars and the Trinitarian authority accepted the fact that the doctrine of Trinity is only accepted until the 4th and
5th centuries.
"It is a simple fact and an undeniable historical fact that several major doctrines that now seem central to the Christian Faith –
such as the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of the nature of Christ – WERE NOT PRESENT IN A FULL AND SELF-DEFINED
GENERALLY ACCEPTED FORM UNTIL THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CENTURIES. If they are essential today – as all of the orthodox creeds
and confessions assert – it must be because they are true. If they are true, then they must always have been true; they cannot
have become true in the fourth and fifth century. But if they are both true and essential, how can it be that the early [Catholic]
church took centuries to formulate them?" [The Doctrine of the Trinity Christianity’s Self-Inflicted Wound 1994 Anthony F.
Buzzard Charles F. Hunting]
“It cannot therefore be seriously maintained that the mystery of the Divine Trinity was clearly revealed in the Old Testament.”
(Pohle, Joseph, Ph.D., D.D.. The Divine Trinity, A Dogmatic Treatise, p. 20.)
The reason of this admission is because the doctrine of the Trinity is not known before the advent of Christ according to another
trinitarian theologian:
“It is true that before the advent of Christ the Trinity of Persons was not known, not even to the inspired authors.” (Gratsch,
Edward J. Principles of Catholic Theology, p. 50.)
How about in the New Testament? Can we found the word “Trinity” in the New Testament? This is the admission of another
trinitarian author:
“The word Trinity does not appear in the New Testament and the meanings of the words persons and nature, in the precise senses
and which these words are used to bear the meassage of God, had to be carefully refined to bear that message rightly. But what
the New Testament teaches is in truth captured with care and reverence in the exact statements of the early councils of the
Church.” (Lawler, Ronald, Wuerl, Donald, and Lawler, Thomas Comerfod. The Teaching of Christ: A Catholic Catechism for Adults,
p. 177.)
Indeed, the word “Trinity” cannot be found in the Bible because it was first used by Tertulian in the last decade of the second
century only:
“The word Trinity is not found in the Bible, though used by Tertulian in the last decade of the 2nd century, it did not find a place
formally in the thelogy of the church till the 4th century.” (The Illustrated Bible Dictionary, Part 3. J.D.Douglas. M.A., B.D., S.T.M.,
P.H.D. organizing editor. Leicester, England: Inter Varsity Press, 1980, p. 1597)
Trinitarians clearly admit that the word "Trinity" and the formula ("that there are three persons in one God") cannot be found in
the Bible. THUS, “TRINITY” IS TRULY UNSCRIPTURAL.
******
Understand trinity is like batting your head against the ceiling.
A Catholic book written by a Catholic and approved by Catholic authorities said, “So when we try to think of God as Three Persons
possessing one and the same nature, WE FIND OURSELVES BATTING OUR HEAD AGAINST THE CEILING”.
“One such truth is the fact that though there is only one God, yet in that one God there are three divine Persons – the Father the
Son and the Holy Spirit. There is only one divine nature, but there are three divine Persons…So when we try to think of God as
Three Persons possessing one and the same nature, WE FIND OURSELVES BATTING OUR HEAD AGAINST THE CEILING.” [Trese, Leo
J. The Faith Explained. Nihil Obstat: Louis J. Putz, C.S.C., University of Notre Dame. Imprimatur: Leo A. Pursley, D.D. Bishop of Fort
Wayne, Notre Dame, Indiana. USA: Fides Publishers Inc.,1969, pp. 25-26.]
The Holy Scriptures commands us: "Stay away from a fool, for you will not find knowledge on their lips." (Proverbs 14:7)
Here are some more good witnesses
“It must be admitted by everyone who has the rudiments of an historical sense that THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY FORMED NO
PART OF THE ORIGINAL MESSAGE. ST. PAUL DID NOT KNOW IT, and would have been unable to understand the meaning of the
terms used in the theological formula on which the Church ultimately agreed” (Dr. Matthews, D.D. D. Litt. God in Christian
Experience, p. 180).
“The Trinity is a contradiction, indeed, and not merely a verbal contradiction, but an incompatibility in the human ideas conveyed.
We can scarcely make a nearer approach to an exact enunciation of it, than of saying that one thing is two things”. (Sadler’s Gloria
Patri, p. 39, A. H. Newman).
“The evolution of the Trinity: No responsible NT scholar would claim that the doctrine of the Trinity was taught by Jesus or
preached by the earliest Christians or consciously held by any writer of the NT. It was in fact slowly worked out in the course of the
first few centuries in an attempt to give an intelligible doctrine of God” (The Image of the Invisible God, SCM Press, 1982, p. Dr. A.
T Hanson, Professor of Theology University of Hull)
“It might tend to moderation and in the end agreement, if we were industrious on all occasions to represent our own doctrine of
the Trinity as wholly unintelligible” (Dr. Hey, Lectures in Divinity, 2, 235
“Theological Dictionary of the NT (Kittel): “As regards Trinitarianism in John, there is no express doctrine of the Trinity in the
metaphysical sense of oneness of essence and substance. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are formally interrelated only in the non-
authentic comma Johanneum.” [spurios forgery]” (Vol .V, 1003)
Vol. 5, p. 1010: “For the first beginnings of Trinitarianism....” see the quote above. [Trinity did not begin in the Bible is admitted]
“The NT does not actually speak of Triunity. We seek this in vain in the triadic the formulae of the NT. The Spanish texts of the 6th
century are the first to offer a clear trinitarian formula in the so-called Comma Johanneum of I John 5:7ff.. The Spanish Catholics
made of this a trinitarian formula by continuing, after ‘bear witness’ “...in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and
these three are one.” They thus imported a conclusion of early dogma into the NT. Early Christianity itself, however, does not yet
have the problem of the Trinity in view.” http://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/i-tell-you-truth-before-

charlatans loose in the world who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ was TRULY HUMAN, a flesh-and-blood human being. Give
them their true title: DECEIVER! ANTICHRIST! “(2 John 1:7, MSG)
Trinitarians and Jesus-is-God theology are antichrist and deceiver for they deny the Lord Jesus Christ as a flesh and blood human
being by nature, rather they made the Lord Jesus Christ a God, a SPIRIT by nature, having no flesh and bones(John 4:24, Luke.
24:39)
Apostle Paul also said that the “different gospel” “is really no gospel at all.”(Gal. 1:6-8 NIV)
“It cannot therefore be seriously maintained that the mystery of the Divine Trinity was clearly
revealed in the Old Testament.” (Pohle, Joseph, Ph.D., D.D.. The Divine Trinity, A Dogmatic Treatise, p.
20.)
The author admits that THEY CANNOT SERIOUSLY MAINTAINED THAT THE DOCTRINE THAT THERE ARE
THREE PERSONS IN ONE GOD (the doctrine of the Trinity) was clearly revealed in the Old Testament.
The reason of this admission is because the doctrine of the Trinity is not known before the advent of
Christ:
“IT IS TRUE THAT BEFORE THE ADVENT OF CHRIST THE TRINITY OF PERSONS WAS NOT KNOWN,
NOT EVEN TO THE INSPIRED AUTHORS.” (Gratsch, Edward J. Principles of Catholic Theology, p. 50.)
How about in the New Testament? Can we found the word “Trinity” in the New Testament? This is the
admission of another Catholic book:
“THE WORD TRINITY DOES NOT APPEAR IN THE NEW TESTAMENT AND THE MEANINGS OF THE
WORDS PERSONS AND NATURE, in the precise senses and which these words are used to bear the
meassage of God, had to be carefully refined to bear that message rightly. But what the New Testament
teaches is in truth captured with care and reverence in the exact statements of the early councils of the
Church.” (Lawler, Ronald, Wuerl, Donald, and Lawler, Thomas Comerfod. The Teaching of Christ: A
Catholic Catechism for Adults, p. 177.)
Trinitarians clearly admit that the word "Trinity" and the formula ("that there are three persons in one
God") cannot be found in the Bible. Thus, it is truly "not a gospel at all."
CONCLUSIONS: Therefore, the doctrine of the Trinity is “a different gospel”: the doctrine that there are
three persons in one God is a distortion of the biblical doctrine that there is only one true God; the
doctrine that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are co-equal and co-eternal, that these three are
one God is indeed a very confusing doctrine and an absurdity; and because the word "Trinity" and the
doctrine cannot be found in the Bible, it is indeed "not a gospel at all." About those teaching and
adhering the "different gospel," let us again be reminded again of what the apostles said:
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ
and are turning to a different gospel - which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are
throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel
from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, LET HIM BE ETERNALLY
CONDEMNED!” (Gal. 1:6-8)
TRINITY MULTIPLICATION?
TRY MULTIPLICATION IN the Trinity? Multiply? If we multiply One divine nature with three divine persons,
you still have THREE (1 x 3 = 3). Simple mathematics, isn’t it?
When we multiply we usually say “1 times 1 times 1”, or “1 by 1 by 1.” When we add, we usually say “1 plus 1
plus 1”, or “1 and 1 and 1”, or “1, 1 and 1”.
Take note that the Trinity doctrine does not say “God the Father TIMES God the Son TIMES God the Holy
Spirit.” Nor does it say “God the Father BY God the Son BY God the Holy Spirit.” The Catholic expression of
the Trinity doctrine in Latin is “Pater et Filius et Spiritus Sanctus” or in English “The Father and the Son and
the Holy Spirit.”
Clearly then, the Trinity is addition, not multiplication. And being addition, 1 plus 1 plus 1 equals three. To
make it 1 plus 1 plus 1 equals 1 reduces it to an absurdity for it does not differ from “two and two equal five”
which is an absurdity and which God cannot do, according to a Jesuit priest John Walsh in his book This is
Catholicism, footnote on page 25:
“God, of course, cannot perform an absurdity, a contradiction in terms. He cannot, for instance, make two and
two equal five.” (Walsh, John. This is Catholicism. New York: Image Book, 1959, p. 25)
If two and two equal five is an absurdity, says Walsh, thus one plus one plus one equal one is no better than
this. If God cannot perform an absurdity, according to this Catholic priest, then God would never make up an
absurdity such as the so-called Trinity.

God the Father * God the Son * God the Holy Spirit = Trinity?
Ayon sa pangangatwiran ng tagapagtaguyod ng aral na Trinidad ay magiging isa lang daw ang Dios na tutugma sa Biblia kung
gagamitan ito ng multiplication na 1*1*1 = 1.
"Na ang mga bagay na ito ay atin namang sinasalita, hindi sa mga salitang itinuturo ng karunungan ng tao, kundi sa itinuturo ng
Espiritu; na iniwawangis natin ang mga bagay na ayon sa espiritu sa mga pananalitang ayon sa espiritu." (1 Corinthians 2:13 TAB)
Ang pananalita ng mga salitang espiritu upang maipaliwanag ang mga espirituwal na katotohanan ay sa pamamagitan ng
paghahambing ng mga talata sa Biblia.
Maliwanag na ipinakilala ng Banal Na Kasulatan na "ISA LAMANG ANG DIOS". Hindi kailanman nagpakilala ang Banal Na Kasulatan
ng "tatlong persona sa isang Dios", sapagkat ang Dios ay hindi naman isang grupo ng mga indibidwal.
Iisa lamang ang Dios na ipinakilala ng Banal Na Kasulatan, Siya ay walang iba kundi ang AMA (Deut. 32:3-4&6, Psalm 89:26, Isaiah
63:15 & 64:4-8, Malachi 2:10, John 17:1-3, 1 Corinthians 8:6A, Ephesians 4:6, 1 Peter 1:2-3)
Catholic authorities further admit that NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE GREATEST THEOLOGIAN, CAN UNDERSTAND THE DOCTRINE OF
THE TRINITY BECAUSE IT IS AN ABSURDITY.
“God, of course, cannot perform an absurdity, a contradiction in terms. HE CANNOT, FOR INSTANCE, MAKE TWO AND TWO EQUAL
FIVE.” (Walsh, John. This is Catholicism. New York: Image Book, 1959, p. 25)
on the other side, Apostle Paul tells us that the Bible must not give us CONFUSION, but able to GIVE US WISDOM to know the
TRUTH especially about GOD.
“And you remember that ever since you were a child, you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE
WISDOM THAT LEADS TO SALVATION THROUGH FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS. All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching
the truth, rebuking error, correcting faults, and giving instruction for right living, so that the person who serves God may be fully
qualified and equipped to do every kind of good deed.”(II Timothy 3:16-17, TEV)
TRINITY is
1. TRINITY DOCTRINE: God in 3 persons existing as God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit.
--However, U CAN’T find in the Bible that God has 3 persons. U can’t even find the terms Trinitarians use such as God the Son, God
the Holy Spirit or 3 persons.
--What u can find are: Jesus introduce himself as the SON OF GOD(not GodTheSon) (LUKE22:70) and the phrase “Holy Spirit of
God”
--However, the Son of God(God the Son in the Holy Trinity) has a beginning, for the Son of God came from the FATHER(John 8:42)
and the FIRSTBORN of all creation(Col. 1:15) - which clearly indicates that Christ is one of those which were created and therefore
not Himself the Creator.”
--This also PROOFS that Christ is not pre-existed with the God(FATHER) because someone(God the FATHER) exists first to create
Him(Christ).
“Before the mountains were created, before the earth was formed, YOU ARE GOD WITHOUT BEGINNING OR END.” (Psalms 90:2
TLB)
3. TRINITY DOCTRINE: Members of the Trinity are CO-EQUAL with each other.
--However, God the Father SENT both the Son and the Holy Spirit which introduced INEQUALITY(John 14:26, John 17:3). As Christ
stated that
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; NEITHER HE THAT IS SENT GREATER THAN HE THAT SENT
HIM”(John 13:16).
"Christ himself AFFIRMED that the Father is GREATER than him(Christ)"(John 10:29, JOHN 14:28).
--So, where is the equality? NONE.
--- Our Lord JESUS CHRIST IS A MAN(HUMAN) BEFORE(JOHN 8:40) AND AFTER RESURRECTION(LUKE. 24:39), EVEN WHEN HE
REACHED HEAVEN(HEB. 10:12) (ACTS 2:22) (1 TIM. 2:5)
---Jesus taught that God is a Spirit(John 4:24) and does NOT HAVE FLESH AND BONES(Luke. 24:39). In short. God has NO
MATERIAL/PHYSICAL FORM as Moses declared to ISRAEL(Deut. 4:12).
Also, God NEVER CHANGE/TRANSFORM, neither God has a shadow of turning.(MAL. 3:6, JAMES 1:17)
--That’s why God said that a GOD CAN NEVER BE A HUMAN. (Numbers 23:19, NKJV) And a HUMAN CANNOT BE A GOD. (Ezekiel
28:2)
That’s why God himself declared that he is NOT a HUMAN
“I will not execute the fierceness of mine anger, I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I AM GOD, AND NOT MAN; the Holy One
in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.”(Hosea 11:9)
---So the Father(Spirit) and Son(Human) are NOT ONE IN NATURE.
---However, U CAN’T find in the Bible that Christ(Son) is the creator. What u can find is the Father CREATED everything INCLUDING
Christ(Son)
“He (Christ) is the firstborn over all creation" (Col. 1:15, Ibid.)—which clearly indicates that Christ is one of those which were
created and therefore not Himself the Creator.
---Even our Lord Jesus Christ is the highest of all creation. The Scripture explicitly stated that God the FATHER is exempted from
the ruling of Jesus Christ, for it is the FATHER who gave Jesus the Authority(Matt. 28:18).
“For he(FATHER) “has put everything under his(Christ) feet.”[c] Now when it says that “everything” has been put under him, IT IS
CLEAR THAT THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE GOD(FATHER) HIMSELF, WHO PUT EVERYTHING UNDER CHRIST. 28 When he has done this,
then the Son himself will be made subject to him(FATHER) who put everything under him(CHRIST), so that God(FATHER) may be all
in all.”(1 Cor. 15:27:28)
CONCLUSION:
---TRINITY contradicts the teaching of our Lord Jesus Christ. The Lord Jesus Christ taught us that there is ONLY 1 GOD – the
FATHER.
“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: “FATHER, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may
glorify you……And this is life eternal, that they might know YOU(FATHER) the ONLY true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you hast
sent.( JOHN 17:1-3)
“Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend
unto MY FATHER, and your Father; and to MY GOD, and your God.”( JOHN 20:17)
---Jesus NEVER address himself as GOD, NEVER include himself, NEVER point himself as GOD. In fact, He closed the idea that there
is other God beside the FATHER as he stated on John 17:3 that God the FATHER is the ONLY TRUE GOD.
->The Apostles also POINT ONE GOD, and that is the FATHER
1 CORINTHIANS 8:5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords
many,) 8:6 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.
"ONE GOD AND FATHER of all who is over all and through all and in all. "(Eph. 4:6)
->Even the OT prophets points 1 God and that is the FATHER. (Deuteronomy 32:6, Psalm 89:26, ISAIAH 63:15, ISAIAH 64:8, Malachi
2:10)
---OT prophets, the Apostles and our Lord Jesus Christ are UNITED in teaching that there is ONLY 1 GOD – THE FATHER. NO MORE.
“The term ‘Trinity’ is not found in Scripture,… The invention of the term is ascribed to Tertullian (160-220AD).” (Systematic
Theology, p. 30)
The doctrine Jesus is God was taught by St Ignatius of Antioch (35-110AD). It means it is taught on the late 1st and early 2nd
century.
Now, how can St Ignatius of Antioch (35-110AD) be saved if he died on early 2nd century and did not know that the HOLY SPIRIT is
also God?
In fact, The Christ-is-God doctrine was formulated by the Catholic council in Nicaea in 325 A.D., with the manipulation and
intervention of Emperor Constantine.
The doctrine of Trinity is unscriptural. In fact, the complete formulation of this teaching was declared only at the 11th Synod of
Toledo in 675 A.D. (Fundamental of Catholic Dogma, p. 53).
--In short, The TRINITY IS UNBIBLICAL. The ONLY TRUE about the HOLY TRINITY is that TRINITY is TRULY FALSE.

SIMPLICITY OF JESUS CHRIST
Proponents who believe that Jesus is God and the Trinity destroy the SIMPLICITY that there is in the Lord Jesus Christ and preach
another Jesus, As Apostle Paul stated “3But 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 ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted,
ye might well bear with him.” (2 Corinthians 11:3-4)
As they stated in their book “The Incarnation, for example, is not understood by any mortal intelligence. The Incarnation means
that God became man. HOW THIS WAS ACCOMPLISHED WE DO NOT KNOW . . . we believe it . . . not because we understand this
mystery . . .” (Scott 1927:10).
“God, of course, cannot perform an absurdity, a contradiction in terms. HE CANNOT, FOR INSTANCE, MAKE TWO AND TWO EQUAL
FIVE.” (Walsh, John. This is Catholicism. New York: Image Book, 1959, p. 25)
“We are dealing a MYSTERY OF FAITH: NO ONE, NOT EVEN THE GREATEST THEOLOGIAN, CAN HOPE IN THIS LIFE TO REALLY
UNDERSTAND IT. At best, there will merely be varying degrees of ignorance.” (Ibid., p. 29.)
“One such truth is the fact that though there is only one God, yet in that one God there are three divine Persons – the Father the
Son and the Holy Spirit. There is only one divine nature, but there are three divine Persons…So when we try to think of God as
Three Persons possessing one and the same nature, WE FIND OURSELVES BATTING OUR HEAD AGAINST THE CEILING.” [Trese, Leo

Let us again be reminded again of what the apostles said:
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different
gospel - which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel
of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, LET HIM BE
ETERNALLY CONDEMNED!” (Gal. 1:6-8)
--The Apostles clearly stated that Jesus by nature is a HUMAN BEFORE(JOHN 8:40) AND AFTER
RESURRECTION(LUKE. 24:39), EVEN WHEN HE REACHED HEAVEN(HEB. 10:12) (ACTS 2:22) (1 TIM. 2:5) while
God is a Spirit, having no flesh and bones(John 4:24, Luke 24:39), no shadow of turning, no variableness, and does
not change(James 1:17).
--The Apostles clearly stated there is ONE GOD, THE FATHER (1 Cor. 8:6. Ep. 4:6).
--The Lord Jesus Christ stated THE FATHER IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD(John 17:1-3), THE FATHER IS THE LORD OF
HEAVEN AND EARTH(Matt. 11:25, Luke 10:21), 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD”(Mark
11:29) (a quotation of Deuteronomy 6:4)
so, the ONLY 1 LORD GOD of Jesus is the FATHER. no less no more

---How can the FATHER and Jesus be the same entity if the will of the FATHER is greater than the will of Jesus (Matt. 26:39)
HYPOSTATIC UNION
To say that the Bible supports the doctrine of the “hypostatic union,” is categorically and grossly incorrect. What we are
certain about is the fact that this doctrine was invented by the Council of Chalcedon (451 AD) (Evangelical Dictionary of
Theology, p. 540) hundreds of year after the Bible was written after the last apostle had died. This teaching is against
the teachings of the Bible. While Christ clearly introduced Himself as man (Jn. 8:40), the Lord God unequivocally stated
that He (God) is not man and that man is not God (Hos. 11:9; Ezek. 28:2).
TERM TRINITY IN THE BIBLE
Revelation 13:11 Expanded Bible “Then I saw another beast ·coming up [rising] out of the earth [Dan. 7:17]. It [or He] had two
horns like a ·lamb [or ram; Dan. 8:3], but it spoke like a dragon [C acting like a prophetic spokesperson for the dragon (see 16:13);
along with the dragon and the first beast, this second beast forms an evil trinity].”
Ayon kay Apostol Pablo, ang mga bulaang tagapagturo ay hindi nakakaunawa ng mga aral na itinuturo nila.
"Ibig nilang maging guro ng kautusan gayong hindi nila nauunawaan ang kanilang sinasabi, ni ang mga bagay na itinuturo nila nang
buong tiwala. " (I Timoteo 1:7)
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE TRINITY
The current mainstream teaching in Christianity is that God is a coequal, coeternal, one-substance trinity, and that
Jesus Christ is God. This doctrine is considered by many as the cornerstone of Christianity, but where did this
doctrine come from? The historical record is overwhelming that the church of the first three centuries did not
worship God as a coequal, coeternal, consubstantial, one-substance three in one mysterious godhead. The early
church worshipped one God and believed in a subordinate Son. The trinity originated with Babylon, and was passed
on to most of the world's religions. This polytheistic (believing in more than one god) trinitarianism was intertwined
with Greek religion and philosophy and slowly worked its way into Christian thought and creeds some 300 years
after Christ. The idea of "God the Son" is Babylonian paganism and mythology that was grafted into Christianity.
Worshipping "God the Son" is idolatry, and idolatry is Biblically condemned; it breaks the first great commandment
of God of not having any gods before him (Exodus 20:3). Then three centuries after Christ the corrupt emperor
Constantine forced the minority opinion of the trinity upon the council of Nicea. The Christian church went
downward from there; in fact some of the creeds and councils actually contradict each other. The council of Nicea
325 said that "Jesus Christ is God," the council of Constantinople 381 said that "the Holy Spirit is God," the council
of Ephesus 431 said that "human beings are totally depraved," the council of Chalcedon 451 said that "Jesus Christ
is both man and God." If you follow the logic here then first you have Jesus Christ as God, then you have man
totally depraved, and then you have Jesus Christ as man and God. If Jesus Christ is both man and God does this
mean that God is also totally depraved? Well maybe the doctrine of the coequal, coeternal, one-substance,
mysterious three in one triune godhead is deprived of any historical foundation tying it into the Christianity of the
Bible and the Christianity of the first three centuries. However the historical information ties the trinity into various
pagan origins.
And yet most Christian churches continue to teach and believe the doctrine that God is a coequal, coeternal, one-
substance, mysterious three in one triune godhead, and that Jesus Christ is God, and that the trinity is "the
cornerstone of Christianity".
" . . . The modern doctrine of the TRINITY IS NOT FOUND IN ANY DOCUMENT OR RELIC BELONGING TO THE
CHURCH OF THE FIRST THREE CENTURIES. . . so far as any remains or any record of them are preserved, coming
down from early times, are, as regards THIS DOCTRINE AN ABSOLUTE BLANK. They testify, so far as they testify
at all, to the supremacy of the father, the only true God; and to the inferior and derived nature of the Son. There is
nowhere among these remains a coequal trinity. . . but no un-divided three, -- coequal, infinite, self-existent, and
eternal. This was a conception to which the age had not arrived. It was of later origin."
During the first three centuries, Christians did not believe that Jesus Christ was coequal, and coeternal with God, or
that he was God the Son, they believed that Jesus Christ was subordinate to God, and that he had a beginning,
that he was born. Those that believed otherwise were the exception.
The Doctrine of the Trinity Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound 1994 Anthony F. Buzzard Charles F.
Hunting
"Those Trinitarians who believe that the concept of a Triune God was such an established fact that it was not
considered important enough to mention at the time the New Testament was written should be challenged by the
remarks of another writer, Harold Brown:"
"It is a simple fact and an undeniable historical fact that several major doctrines that now seem central to the
Christian Faith -- such as the doctrine of the Trinity and the doctrine of the nature of Christ -- WERE NOT PRESENT
IN A FULL AND SELF-DEFINED GENERALLY ACCEPTED FORM UNTIL THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CENTURIES. IF THEY
ARE ESSENTIAL TODAY – AS ALL OF THE ORTHODOX CREEDS AND CONFESSIONS ASSERT – IT MUST BE
BECAUSE THEY ARE TRUE. IF THEY ARE TRUE, THEN THEY MUST ALWAYS HAVE BEEN TRUE; THEY CANNOT HAVE
BECOME TRUE IN THE FOURTH AND FIFTH CENTURY. BUT IF THEY ARE BOTH TRUE AND ESSENTIAL, HOW CAN IT
BE THAT THE EARLY CHURCH TOOK CENTURIES TO FORMULATE THEM?"
"AD 200. . Noetus had been expelled from the Smyrnaean church for teaching that Christ was the Father, and that
the Father himself was born, and suffered, and died."
"The controversy first became heated when Apollinarius, a bishop in Syria . . . asserted that Christ could not have
been perfect man united with complete God, for then there would not have been one Son of God, but two sons,
one by nature and one by adoption, the first with a divine, the second with a human will. Such a thing seemed
inconceivable, religiously abhorrent."
"Nestorius . . . preached a sermon against calling the virgin Mary "the mother of God" declaring she did not bear a
deity, she bore a man,"
Numbers 23:19 states that God is not a man. God was not born, and God certainly did not die, but when people
deviate from what the Bible teaches you can come up with the bizarre complexities of trinitarian religious mysteries
that contradict logic, common sense and God's Word.
". . . it did not find a place formally in the theology of the church till the 4th century."
". . . it is not a biblical doctrine in the sense that any formation of it can be found in the Bible, . . ."
". . . scholars generally agree that there is no doctrine of the trinity as such in either the Old Testament or the New
Testament."
If the trinity is the cornerstone of Christianity then how did the church of the first three centuries get along so well
without it? If the trinity is the cornerstone of Christianity then why is it not mentioned in the Bible?
"Christianity derived from Judaism and Judaism was strictly Unitarian (believing in one God). The road which led
from Jerusalem to Nicea was scarcely a straight one. FOURTH CENTURY TRINITARIANISM DID NOT REFLECT
ACCURATELY EARLY CHRISTIAN TEACHING REGARDING THE NATURE OF GOD; IT WAS, ON THE CONTRARY, A
DEVIATION FROM THIS TEACHING."
The trinity is a deviation from believing in one God; it is a deviation from what the early church taught and it is a
deviation from the scripture.
"The formulation 'one God in three persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian
life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century."
"The Old Testament is a strictly monotheistic. God is a single personal being. The idea that a trinity is to be found
there or even in any way shadowed forth, is an assumption that has long held sway in theology, but is utterly
without foundation."
"Neither the word trinity, nor the explicit doctrine as such, appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his
followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Old Testament: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord'
(Deut. 6:4). . . The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and through many controversies. . . . By
the end of the 4th century . . . the doctrine of the trinity took substantially the form it has maintained ever since."
The Shema consists of three sections of scripture Deuteronomy 6:4-9, 11:13-21, and Numbers 15:37-41. It is
called the Shema after the Hebrew word hear, the first word in Deut. 6:4. The Shema was to be recited twice daily
once upon arising and once when going to bed. So the Old Testament Jews would start and finish their day with
'Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord.'
"To the Jew, (Deut. 6:4-9) this is the most important text in the Old Testament. Jesus himself called the injunction
in 6:5 'the first and great commandment' Matt.22:36-38. . . Moses is teaching not only the priority of belief in one
God, but also a means to preserve that belief. As time went on, the proper understanding of the Shema with its
spiritual implications was no longer grasped by the people. This absence of saving knowledge became a factor in
their spiritual downfall."
Whenever God's people forget that there is only one God and they follow after other gods this will result in their
downfall. This can be seen time and time again in the Old Testament where God's people forsook the Lord and then
evil came upon them. God does not send this evil, but He warns us to stay away from the evil of worshipping more
than one God.
"The trinity of God is defined by the church as the belief that in God are three persons who subsist in one nature.
The belief as so defined was reached only in the 4th and 5th centuries AD and hence is not explicitly and formally a
biblical belief."
Why You Should Believe In The Trinity 1989 Robert M. Bowman Jr.
"The New Testament does not contain a formalized explanation of the trinity that uses such words as trinity, three
persons, one substance, and the like."
"The Bible lacks the express declaration that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are of equal essence. [said
Karl Barth]"
"nowhere in the Bible do we find the doctrine of the trinity clearly formulated"
"People who are using the King James Version might be inclined to point to I John 5:7 'For there are three that
bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost' But it is now generally recognized that this verse
does not belong to the original text of the letter; it is a later insertion."
"The theological formulation took place later, after the days of the apostles."
Take note of the words "explicitly and formally", "formalized explanation", "express declaration", and "clearly
formulated". These words are indicative of the fact that all the clear verses on the subjects of God, Jesus Christ,
and Holy Spirit do not even hint at a trinity. There are only a few verses that seem to hint at a trinity, and then
only when they are twisted. The difficult or unclear verse must always be interpreted in light of the clear verses. If
God is a coeternal, coequal, one substance, three-in-one Godhead, trinity, if that is what God really is, then he
would have made himself known as such to the first century apostles; they would have made the trinity part of
their beliefs teachings and writings. They would have used words like God the Son, coequal, coeternal, one
substance, or trinity, but the scripture is devoid of all of these trinitarian words and phrases because the first
century apostles did not believe or teach, or write about God being a trinity, or Jesus Christ being God. But the
pagan and Greek and Babylonian religions used those words.
"The trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of 'person' and 'nature' which are Greek
philosophical terms; actually the terms do not appear in the Bible. The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of
long controversies in which these terms and others such as 'essence' and 'substance' were erroneously applied to
God by some theologians."
"For him [Clement] the trinity consisted of a hierarchy of three graded beings, and from that concept - derived
from Platonism - depended much of the remainder of his theological teaching."
The Doctrine of the Trinity Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound 1994 Anthony F. Buzzard Charles F.
Hunting
"Eberhard Griesebach, in an acedemic lecture on "Christianity and humanism" delivered in 1938, observed that in
its encounter with Greek philosophy Christianity became theology. That was the fall of Christianity. The Problem
thus highlighted stems from the fact that traditional orthodoxy, while it claims to find its origins in scripture, in fact
contains elements drawn from a synthesis of Scripture and Neo-Platonism. The mingling of Hebrew and Greek
thinking set in motion first in the second century by an influx of Hellenism through the Church Fathers, whose
theology was colored by the Platonists Plotinus and Porphyry. The effects of the Greek influence are widely
recognized by theologians, though they go largely unnoticed by many believers."
". . . the Trinity is an unintelligible proposition of platonic mysticisms that three are one and one is three" [quote
from Thomas Jefferson]
The Greek mythology and pagan religious beliefs were derived from Babylon.
"The Platonic trinity, itself merely a rearrangement of older trinities dating back to earlier peoples, appears to be
the rational philosophic trinity of attributes that gave birth to the three hypostases or divine persons taught by the
Christian churches . . . This Greek philosopher's (Plato, 4th century BC) conception of the divine trinity . . . can be
found in all ancient (pagan) religions"
"Neoplatonism is a type of idealistic monism in which the ultimate reality of the universe is held to be an infinite,
unknowable, perfect One. From this One emanates nous (pure intelligence), whence in turn is derived the world
soul, the creative activity of which engenders the lesser souls of human beings. The world soul is conceived as an
image of the nous, even as the nous is an image of the One; both the nous and the world soul, despite their
differentiation, are thus consubstantial [one substance] with the One."
"The theologians Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and St. Augustine were early Christian exponents of a Platonic
perspective. Platonic ideas have had a crucial role in the development of Christian theology"
"we find Christianity tending to absorb Greek philosophical values, until by the end of the third century the line
between the beliefs of educated Christian and educated pagan in the east would often be hard to draw."
The early Christians began mixing Greek and pagan and Babylonian philosophical and religious trinitarian concepts
with their Christian doctrine which lead them to begin considering the trinity, and after three centuries that
thinking finally took hold. Acts 17:22 says that the Greeks were too superstitious, and I Corinthians 1:22 says that
the Jews require a sign and the Greeks seek after wisdom. The Greeks were too intellectual in their approach to
God’s Word. They became wise in their own eyes and the truth of God's Word became foolishness to them, so they
grafted their own superstitious philosophical wisdom into God's Word and changed the truth into a lie; they
changed Son of God to God the Son.
"(The Doctrine of the Trinity) - hammered out over the course of three centuries of doctrinal controversy against
modalism and subordinationism"
Why You Should Believe In The Trinity 1989 Robert M. Bowman Jr.
"Roman Catholics . . OFTEN CLAIM THAT THE TRINITY IS NOT A BIBLICAL DOCTRINE AND WAS FIRST REVEALED
THROUGH THE MINISTRY OF THE CHURCH CENTURIES AFTER THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN. This is in keeping with
the Roman Catholic belief that Christian doctrine may be based either on the Bible or on church tradition."
The Roman Catholic Church did not get the doctrine of the trinity from the Bible, they hammered out their own
theology of what they wanted God to be over several hundred years, and mixed Greek philosophy with Babylonian
mystery religion, and their own private interpretations of the Bible.
I Peter 1:20, 21 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the
prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy
Ghost.
II Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly
dividing the word of truth.
People don't respect God's Word, they are more interested in inventing their own theology by the will of man
instead of believing the word of God, they are not interested in rightly dividing God's word of truth. The trinity is
private interpretation and wrong dividing of God's word.
"Long before the founding of Christianity the idea of a triune god or a god-in-three persons was a common belief in
ancient religions. Although many of these religions had many minor deities, they distinctly acknowledged that there
was one supreme God who consisted of three persons or essences. The Babylonians used an equilateral triangle to
represent this three-in-one god, now the symbol of the modern three-in-one believers."
"The Hindu trinity was made up of the gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. The Greek triad was composed of Zeus,
Athena and Apollo. These three were said by the pagans to 'agree in one.' One of the largest pagan temples built
by the Romans was constructed at Ballbek (situated in present day Lebanon) to their trinity of Jupiter, Mercury and
Venus. In Babylon the planet Venus was revered as special and was worshipped as a trinity consisting of Venus,
the moon and the sun. This triad became the Babylonian holy trinity in the fourteenth century before Christ."
"Although other religions for thousands of years before Christ was born worshipped a triune god, the trinity was not
a part of Christian dogma and formal documents of the first three centuries after Christ."
"That there was no formal, established doctrine of the trinity until the fourth century is a fully documented
historical fact."
"Clearly, historians of church dogma and systematic theologians agree that the idea of a Christian trinity was not a
part of the first century church. The twelve apostles never subscribed to it or received revelation about it. So how
then did a trinitarian doctrine come about? It gradually evolved and gained momentum in late first, second and
third centuries as pagans, who had converted to Christianity, brought to Christianity some of their pagan beliefs
and practices."
WHO IS JESUS?
Who is Jesus? Anthony Buzzard
". . . we shall find not a hint that Jesus believed himself to be an uncreated being who had existed from eternity.
MATTHEW AND LUKE TRACE THE ORIGIN OF JESUS TO A SPECIAL ACT OF CREATION BY GOD WHEN THE
MESSIAH’S CONCEPTION TOOK PLACE IN THE WOMB OF MARY. It was this miraculous event which marked the
beginning—the genesis, or origin of Jesus of Nazareth"
Arius and his followers believed that Jesus Christ was created, that he was not in the beginning with God. They
believed that he had a beginning, whereas God has no beginning. This makes Jesus Christ substantially different
from God, which means he cannot be of one-substance with God as the trinitarians believe.
"If, said he, the Father begat the Son, he that was begotten had a beginning of existence; hence it is clear that
there was a [a time] when the son was not."
"The Son of God is from what is not and there was [a time] when he was not; saying also that the Son of God, in
virtue of his free will, is capable of evil and good, and calling him a creature and a work."
"If the Father begat the son, there must be when he was not. He could not therefore be coeternal with the
Father."[said by Arius]
"Arius held that Christ, . . . was a created being; he was made like other creatures out of nothing, . . . The Son, he
argued, had a beginning, while God was without beginning."
Arius believed that Jesus Christ was born, that he had a beginning, he believed that Jesus Christ was the created
Son, not the Creator, and for taking the Word of God literally he was excommunicated and anathematized. Starting
with Nimrod in ancient Babylon until today man has stubbornly rebelled against the doctrine of one God.
"To say Jesus Christ is God the Son is idolatry. To say Jesus is the Son of God is truth."
I Samuel 15:23 For Rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.
Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord:
The Lord God Almighty, the Creator, the Father of Jesus Christ is one God not three, not three-in-one, not one-in-
three, ONE! and only ONE! God is not a three-headed multi-personality trinity.
The Bible clearly refers to Jesus Christ as the Son of God 50 times; it never refers to him as God the Son. The
phrase, Son of God, is in the genitive case; showing that Jesus Christ originated from and belongs to God. In no
way can the Son of God be the same as God the Son, that violates grammar, language and common sense. God
the Son is not a biblical term, it does not appear in the Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic texts. God the Son is however a
Babylonian term. The Babylonians made Nimrod a god, and when he died they deified his son Tammuz as God the
Son. Making God a man and man a god was invented in Babylon. This idolatry and false belief has been carried into
pagan religions, and it has worked its way into Christianity as the doctrine of the trinity.
"Nimrod, the first of the great Babylonian rulers, was also declared to be the first of the man-gods."
"He was worshipped in Babylon under the name of El-Bar, or 'God the Son'."
It is clear that the trinity does not have a Biblical origin. It can be traced back to ancient Babylon, pagan Greeks
and Romans. It was forced upon the Christian Church by the emperor Constantine. It was adhered to by bishops
who were afraid to speak against it. Then when the Protestants broke away from the corrupt Roman Church most
of them still carried the pagan doctrine of the trinity, because they had practiced error for so long that they
accepted the trinitarian doctrine.
CHURCH CONCIL
Encyclopedia Britannica 1968
"The Council of Nicaea met on May 20, 325. Constantine himself presiding, actively guiding the discussion, and
personally proposed the crucial formula expressing the relation of Christ to God in the creed issued by the council.
'of one substance with the father.' Over-awed by the emperor, the bishops, with two exceptions only, signed the
creed, many of them against their inclination. Constantine regarded the decision of Nicaea as divinely inspired. As
long as he lived no one dared openly to challenge the creed of Nicaea."
The Origins of Pagan and Christian Beliefs Edward Carpenter 1920 1996
"And when at the Council of Nicea (325 AD) it [the early church] endeavored to establish an official creed, the
strife and bitterness only increased."
"-the Nicean creed had nothing to propound except some extremely futile speculations about the relation to each
other of the Father and the Son, and the relation of both to the Holy Ghost,"
EMPEROR CONSTANTINE
The Rise of Christianity 1985 W.H.C. Frend
"The Emperor exerted all his influence toward winning unanimous acceptance and nearly succeeded. Only two
bishops stood out against it; but two other senior bishops refused to sign the anathemas against Arius and were
exiled."
Constantine was really only interested in unifying the empire and gaining more power. He broke truces, started
wars, and even had relatives killed to further his power. Constantine was more interested in unity than in getting
the correct doctrine of the trinity. In fact before he died Constantine switched sides and took Arius’ position
regarding the trinity instead of the position that he forced through the council of Nicea. Without Constantine's
presiding, actively guiding, and actively controlling the discussion there would not have been a 'coequal' 'coeternal'
'God the Son' Nicene creed. But what manner of man was this person who pushed through this doctrine which was
to become the cornerstone of Christianity?
"Constantine. . . although only a catechumen, [One who is being instructed in a subject at an elementary level]
presided over its [the council of Nicea] opening session, and was active in its deliberations. Whether Constantine
appreciated the niceties of the questions at issue is highly doubtful, for he was a layman, a warrior and
administrator, not a philosopher or an expert theologian."
"Like all great conquerors from Alexander to Napoleon or even Hitler his [Constantine's] aim was unity and
unification on a worldwide scale."
"He [Constantine] accepted the pagan title of Pontifex Maximus, and his coins still showed the emblems of the Sun-
God."
". . his [Constantine's] conversion is to be seriously questioned. Even though he had much to do with the
establishment of certain doctrines and customs within the church, the facts plainly show that he was not truly
converted-not in the Biblical sense of the word."
"Probably the most obvious indication that he was not truly converted may be seen from the fact that after his
conversion he committed several murders-including the murder of his own wife and son!"
"Yet in 326-very shortly after directing the Nicean Council-he had his son put to death."
The Doctrine of the Trinity Christianity's Self-Inflicted Wound 1994 Anthony F. Buzzard Charles F.
Hunting
"It was Constantine who by official edict brought Christianity to believe in the formal division of the Godhead into
two -- God the Father and God the Son. It remained the task of a later generation to bring Christianity to believe in
the Triune God."
". . . years after winning this heaven-inspired triumph, history divulges that the alleged follower of Jesus murdered
an already vanquished rival, killed his wife by having her boiled alive in her own bath -- and murdered an innocent
son." [speaking of Constantine]
". . . appears to have been a sun-worshipper, one of a number of the late pagan cults which had observances in
common with Christians. Worship of such gods was not a novel idea. Every Greek or Roman expected that political
success followed from religious piety. Christianity was the religion of Constantine's father. Although Constantine
claimed that he was the thirteenth apostle, his was no sudden Damascus conversion. Indeed it is highly doubtful
that he ever truly abandoned sun-worship. After his professed acceptance of Christianity, he built a triumphal arch
to the sun god and in Constantinople set up a statue of the same sun god bearing his own features. He was finally
deified after his death by official edict in the Empire, as were many Roman rulers."
". . . His private life became monstrous as he aged . . . His abilities had always lain in management . . . [he was] a
master of . . . the smoothly-worded compromise."
It would be an understatement to say that Constantine was a crooked politician; yet this is the man who is mainly
responsible for the Nicene Creed's doctrine of the coequal, coeternal, one substance three in one God. One day he
is setting the doctrine for the Christian church another day he is murdering people; it would seem that to anyone
with any common sense that formulating church doctrine should not be done by a non-repentant murderer. How
many of you would like to have a non-repentant murderer setting your Christian doctrine? Yet if you believe the
Nicene Creed you have done just that.
"The decisions of Nicea were really the work of a minority, and they were misunderstood and disliked by many"
"The truth of Jesus Christ the Son of God was deliberately forged into the doctrine of God the Son. Seeds of Jesus
Christ as God were planted and sprouted during the lifetime of Paul, continued growing during Timothy's lifetime
and flourished shortly thereafter, reaching full bloom for all future creeds by 325 AD"
"The doctrine that Jesus Christ the Son of God was God the son was decreed by worldly and ecclesiastical powers.
Men were forced to accept it at the point of the sword or else, Thus, the error of the trinity was propounded to the
end that ultimately people believed it to be the truth. Thus Christianity became in essence like Babylonian
heathenism, with only a veneer of Christian names."
"To enforce the decisions of the Council of Nicea, Constantine commanded, with the death penalty for
disobedience, the burning of all books composed by Arius, banished Arius and his closest supporters, and deposed
from their sees Eusebius of Nicomedia and another bishop who had been active in the support of Arius."
"the controversial term, defining the son as Consubstantial with [homoousios] the father was introduced by
Constantine. The term was objectionable to any Origenist bishop and had been rejected by Dionysius of Alexandria
when used by the Libyan bishops, and the Council of Antioch"
"The great majority of the eastern bishops were placed in a false position. they dared not challenge the emperor"
"The majority (of the bishops) were conservatives in the sense that they represented . . . subordinationism of the
eastern tradition. The Emperor himself was present at the assembly and dominated its proceedings."
"From the very beginning, however, people like Eusebius of Caesarea had doubts about the (Nicene) creed, doubts
focused on the word 'homoousios'. (Greek for one substance) . . . The term was non-Scriptural; it had a very
doubtful theological history."
"Eusebius of Nicomedia and all save two of the other bishops, signed the creed-willing no doubt, to go along with
what the emperor wanted. Yet he and many others continued to suspect its language."
The majority of the bishops at the council of Nicea believed in what is called subordinationism, which is a belief that
Jesus Christ is subordinate to God the Father, not coequal, not coeternal, and not God the Son. The teachings of
Arius were condemned in 325, but the teachings of Arius did not die, by 359 Arianism was widely accepted, that is
until the minority trinitarian bishops found another emperor that they could get to propose their trinitarian creed at
the Council of Constantinople in 381.
"The doctrine of the trinity he [Michael Servetus] felt to be a Catholic perversion and himself to be a good New
Testament Christian in combating it. . . According to his conception, a trinity composed of three distinct persons in
one God is a rational impossibility;"
Saying that Jesus Christ is not God does not degrade Jesus Christ it merely sets things in their proper order so we
can know God and worship Him in spirit and truth.
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way the truth and the life: no man cometh to the Father, but by me.
John 14:13 And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
We can no longer be lulled to sleep by the bizarre, complex, confusing, ritualistic, mysterious Babylonian traditions
of trinitarian doctrines. We must come back to God’s Word and worship the one true God; the Father of Jesus
Christ.
1 Corinthians 8:6 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.

"The God of Moses, Isaiah, Jesus, and the apostles WAS ONE PERSON, THE FATHER. One cannot be made equal to
two or three. All that can be done with one is to fractionalize it. Divide it into smaller segments and it is no longer
one. Expand it, and in spite of prodigious mental gymnastics on the part of Trinitarians, it cannot be made into two
or three and still remain one."
". . . it is not uncommon for religious leaders to insist that you must believe in the Trinity to be a Christian, or be
branded a cultist."
"One of the great marvels of Christian history has been the ability of theologians to convince Christian people that
three persons are really one God."
A Statement of Reasons for Not Believing the Doctrine of the Trinitarians Concerning the Nature of God
and the Person of Christ 1833 Andrews Norton
"When we look back through the long ages of the reign of the Trinity . . . we shall perceive that few doctrines have
produced more unmixed evil."
The Bible does not give us a doctrine of a trinity, the historical record shows that modern Christian trinitarian
beliefs were not formulated until about 300 years after the death of Jesus Christ, but in pagan religions trinitarian
beliefs date back to ancient Babylon, thousands of years before Jesus Christ. The coequal, coeternal, one
substance, three in one trinity is not a Christian Biblical doctrine; yet there are those who insist that it is the
cornerstone of Christianity.
In our day and time the doctrine of the trinity is a cornerstone of idolatry.
ROLE OF HOLY SPIRIT
The Holy Spirit(Holy Ghost, Comforter) are the one teaches the chosen ones everything and reminds them of what Christ had said.
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, HE SHALL TEACH YOU ALL THINGS, AND
BRING ALL THINGS TO YOUR REMEMBRANCE, WHATSOEVER I HAVE SAID UNTO YOU." (John 14:26, King James Version)
--Were the Holy Spirit God also, it would appear that there are not only three Gods but nine Gods because there are SEVEN
SPIRITS being sent by God. The fact that the Holy Spirit is being sent proves that He is not, and could not be God, because the one
who sends is greater than the one sent.
“And I looked, and behold, in the midst of throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as
though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are THE SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD SENT OUT INTO ALL THE
EARTH.” (Rev. 5:6, NKJV)
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him. (John
13:16, NKJV)
ABOUT THE HOLY SPIRIT
“We believe that the Holy Spirit is the power that sent by the Father in the name of Christ”
We believe that the Holy Spirit is the power (cf. Acts 1:8, TEV) sent by the Father in the name of Christ, to teach
and remind His messengers of all things that Christ said (cf. Jn. 14:26), to help us in our weaknesses and
infirmities (cf. Jn. 15:26; Rom. 8:26). The Holy Spirit strengthens, edifies, and comforts the Church Of Christ (cf.
Eph. 3:16-17; Jn. 14:26). And though the Holy Spirit is a spirit, but the Scriptures never refer to it as “God the
Holy Spirit” because the Holy Spirit is not God but one of the spirits being sent by God (cf. Rev. 5:6).
###end###
For this [is] good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to
the knowledge of the truth. (1 Timothy 2:3-4, NKJV)
As to your query on what is the Holy Spirit, we give you as an answer this promise made by our Lord Jesus Christ
to His true believers:
"But the Comforter, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in My name He shall teach you all things and bring
all things to your remembrance, whatever I have said to you/' (John 14:26, New King James Version)
Christ promised that God would send the Holy Spirit as the Comforter of His people. Christ also said that He
Himself would send the Holy Spirit which is also called the Helper and the Spirit of truth (John 15:26).
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the
Father, He will testify of Me. (John 15:26, NKJV)
Being sent by God and Christ, the Holy Spirit cannot be God, as what the Trinity doctrine stipulates, for the one
who is sent is not greater than the one who sent him (John 13:16).
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who
sent him. (John 13:16, NKJV)
The Holy Spirit is also described in the Bible as the power of God (Acts 1:8) that He sends to help us in our
weaknesses and infirmities (Rom. 8:26) and to strengthen us so that we can withstand our many trials in life and
still remain rooted to our faith:
But when the Holy Spirit comes upon you, you will be filled with power, and you will be witnesses for me in
Jerusalem, in all of Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." (Acts 1:8,TEV)
Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the
Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (Romans 8:26, NKJV)
This prayer of Apostle Paul, especially its last few lines, is also our prayer for you and for al I others who seek the
truth that leads to salvation. May God continue to enlighten you and bless you in your quest to become His true
servant.
"I ask God from the wealth of his glory to give you power through his Spirit to be strong in your inner serves,
and I pray that Christ will make his home in your hearts through faith. I pray that you may have your roots and
foundation in love, so that you, together with all God's people. may have the power to understand how broad and
long, how high and deep, is Christ's love." (Eph. 3:16--18, Today's English Version)

Ang ESPIRITU SANTO:
Isa lang po sa pitong ito ang tinatawag ng Biblia na Espiritu Santo na pumapatnubay sa Iglesia. Ito ang pinatutunayan sa Efeso 4:4-
6:
“May isang katawan, at isang Espiritu, gaya naman ng pagkatawag sa inyo sa isang pagasa ng pagtawag sa inyo; 5Isang Panginoon,
isang pananampalataya, isang bautismo, 6Isang Dios at Ama ng lahat, na siyang sumasa ibabaw sa lahat, at sumasa lahat, at nasa
lahat.” (Efeso 4:4-6)
LYING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT = LYING TO GOD?
The verses you quoted (Acts 5:3 4, New King lames Version") undeniably point out that to lie to the Holy Spirit is to lie
to God. But does this mean that the Holy Spirit is God? No, it does not. For if it did, then it would contradict the
essential truth about God. As Apostle Paul clearly stated,
"there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came…" (I Cor. 8:6, New International Version).
The Almighty Father Himself said, "I alone am God and that there is no one else like me" (Isa. 4-6-9, Today's English
Version).
Why is it, then, that if one lies to the Holy Spirit, he also lies to God? To answer this, let us quote the following
statements of Christ concerning the Holy Spirit:
"But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your
remembrance all things that I said to you. (John 14:26, NKJV)
But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the
Father, He will testify of Me. (John 15:26, NKJV)
"Most assuredly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him
who sent Me." (John 13:20, NKJV)
The Lord Jesus Christ taught "the Helper" or the Holy Spirit is sent both by the Father and the Son.
Furthermore, Christ declared that anyone who receives whomever He sent equally receives the one who sent Him—
the Father who is the only true God (John 17:1, 3). Hence, whatever the person does to the one sent by Christ and by
the Father, he likewise does it to God Himself. And since the Holy Spirit is sent by Christ and the Father, lying to the
Holy Spirit necessarily means lying to God Himself. It is not surprising, therefore, that when Ananias lied to the Holy
Spirit, the Bible teaches that he, in effect, lied to God.
The problem with believing that the Holy Spirit is God just because lying to the Holy Spirit is tantamount to Lying to
God the Father is that this would have several erroneous ramifications. For example, the apostles would be Gods also
because when Christ was commissioning the apostles, to them He proclaimed:
"He who hears you hears Me, he who rejects you rejects Me, and he who rejects Me rejects Him who sent Me." (Luke
10:16, NKJV)
Here, Christ Himself says quite clearly that rejecting the apostles is the same as rejecting Him and God. If we were
to follow the line of thinking of those who argue that "the Holy Spirit is God, then we would be forced to accept that
the apostles and all other messengers are God as well.
Historically, the erroneous belief that the Holy Spirit is God became an article of faith of the Catholic Church through
the Council of Constantinople only in 381 A.D., more than three centuries after the Bible had been written (Discourses
on the Apostles' Creed, p. 206)
---REJECTING THE ONE who is SENT BY GOD = REJECTING GOD and ACCEPTING THE ONE who is SENT = ACCEPTING GOD??? Does
that mean the prophets and the apostles who are sent by God are also Gods (If we will follow ur line of argumentation)?? lols
Interesting Questions-34: "Why is it very important for men to have the
right knowledge about the Holy Spirit?"
Why is it likewise important for man to confess the right understanding concerning the Holy Spirit? Our Lord Jesus
Christ Himself points this out, thus:
"The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know
Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you." (John 14:17, NKJV)
Those who do not know the Holy Spirit will not receive Him. The Holy Spirit dwells only in those who know Him.
Hence, just as it is important to have the right knowledge and understanding concerning the Father and the Son,
so is having the right understanding concerning the Holy Spirit. And the right understanding concerning them is
founded on the teachings of the Bible.
The teaching of the Bible regarding the Holy Spirit is crystal clear. If people would only strictly adhere to this
teaching, they would not fall into the mistake of taking the Holy Spirit as God. This is how the Lord Jesus Christ
introduced the Holy Spirit:
"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." (John 14:26, King James Version)
The Holy Spirit is the Comforter whom the Father sends in the name of Christ. He teaches the chosen ones
everything and reminds them of what Christ had said. And aside from the Father, the Son also sends the Holy
Spirit for the benefit of the servants of God. Christ points this
"But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth/ which
proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." (John 15:26,Ibid.)
Another role of the Holy Spirit is to guide the chosen ones into all the truth. He does not speak of Himself but does
so only according to the commandment of the one who sent Him.:
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come/' (John 16:13, Ibid.)
The Holy Spirit, whom the Son and the Father send, could not have been God. The Bible testifies that there are
"seven Spirits of God sent out into all the earth" (Rev. 5:6, NKJV).
And I looked, and behold, in the midst of throne and the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, stood
a Lamb as though it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent
out into all the earth. (Rev. 5:6, NKJV)
Were the Holy Spirit God also, it would appear that there are not only three Gods but nine Gods because there are
seven spirits being sent by God. The fact that the Holy Spirit is being sent proves that He is not, and could not be
God, because the one who sends is greater than the one sent.
Most assuredly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master; nor is he who is sent greater than he who
sent him. (John 13:16, NKJV)
Even adherents of the Trinitarian doctrine concur to this. James Cardinal Gibbons, a Catholic authority, rhetorically
asks: "Is not the power that sends an ambassador greater than he who is sent?" (The Faith of Our Fathers, p.96).
In view of this, the Son is greater than the Holy Spirit and the Father is greater than both the Son and the Holy
Spirit because both of them are being sent by the Father. Clearly, then, the so-called three persons of the Trinity
are not equal as claimed by its proponents.
Believers of the Trinitarian doctrine themselves tacitly admit that the Bible does not call the Holy Spirit God.
Catholic authority, the Rev. Msgr. Joseph Pohle, wrote that "the Bible nowhere expressly calls the Third Person of
the Blessed Trinity 'God'" (The Divine Trinity; A Dogmatic Treatise, p.109). Indeed, not only is such doctrine not
found in the Bible, it is also against the revealed teaching of God written therein concerning the Holy Spirit. As to
how this doctrine came about, Catholic author, the Rev. Clement H, Crock, provides this information:
"In 381, at the Council of Constatinople, it was defined that is is an article of faith that the Holy Ghost is God."
(Discourses on the Apostles' Creed, p.206)
As the Christ-is-God doctrine is an invention of a Catholic church's council in the 4th century, so is the teaching
that the Holy Spirit is God, this time by the council of Constantinople in 381 AD, more than half a century after the
former was formulated as an official doctrine of the Catholic Church in 325 AD
Hence, these teachings, upon which the Trinitarian doctrine stands, are man-made and they run counter to
the teachings of the Bible. Those who have accepted such doctrine possess a wrong understanding regarding the
Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Had they conformed with what is written in the Bible, they would not have
been misled into believing such an erroneous teaching.
The right understanding regarding the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, is indeed very important because it
goes with the attainment salvation and eternal life.

JOB 33:4: HOLY SPIRIT AS THE CREATOR?
Does Job 33:4 proves that the Holy Spirit is God and the Creator (or Co-Creator)? Let us first quote the said verse:
“The Spirit of God has made me; the breath of the Almighty gives me life.” (Job 33:4 NIV)
These are the words of Elihu, and no where in this verse that says that the Holy Spirit is God or the Holy Spirit is the Creator of
heaven and earth, the creator of every thing.
Why is it wrong to understand and conclude that these words of Elihu meant that the Holy Spirit is God? Because it is clearly
written in the Bible that there is only one God, the Fathe:
“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: "Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may
glorify you.
“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent. John 17:1,3 NIV
Why are we sure that these words of Elihu does not also meant that the Holy Spirit is the Creator who created us? Because the
Bible clearly teaches that the Father is the one God that created us:
“Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with
one another?” (Malachi 2:10 NIV)
Why did Elihu said that “the Spirit of God has made me”?
“The Spirit of God made me what I am, the breath of God Almighty gave me life!” (Job 33:4-5 The Message)
When Elihu said that “the Spirit of God has made me,” what he meant is that “the Spirit of God MADE ME WHAT I AM.”
Thus, Job 33:4 does not say that the Holy Spirit is God and the Creator of the heaven and the earth. The Bible will never teach that
the Holy Spirit is God because it is clearly written in the Bible that the Father is the only true God.
2 Corinthians 3:17
“Now the Lord is the Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17, ERV)
“Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.” (2 Corinthians 3:17, KJV, AKJV)
---Now the Lord is that Spirit - In 2 Corinthians 3:6, 2 Corinthians 3:8, the word το πνευμα, spirit, evidently signifies the Gospel; so
called because it points out the spiritual nature and meaning of the law; because it produces spiritual effects; and because it is
especially the dispensation of the Spirit of God. Here Jesus Christ is represented as that Spirit, because he is the end of the law for
justification to everyone that believes; and because the residue of the Spirit is with him, and he is the dispenser of all its gifts,
graces, and influences.
And where the Spirit of the Lord is - Wherever this Gospel is received, there the Spirit of the Lord is given; and wherever that Spirit
lives and works, there is liberty, not only from Jewish bondage, but from the slavery of sin - from its power, its guilt, and its
pollution. See John 8:33-36 (note), and the notes there.
---3:17 Now the Lord - Christ is that Spirit of the law whereof I speak, to which the letter was intended to lead. And where the
Spirit of the Lord, Christ, is, there is liberty - Not the veil, the emblem of slavery. There is liberty from servile fear, liberty from the
guilt and from the power of sin, liberty to behold with open face the glory of the Lord.
--- The design of Paul in this verse seems to be to account for the "liberty" which he and the other apostles had, or for the
boldness, openness, and plainness 2 Corinthians 3:12 which they evinced in contradistinction from the Jews. who so little
understood the nature of their institutions. He had said 2 Corinthians 3:6, that he was a minister "not of the letter, but of the
Spirit;" and he had stated that the Old Testament was not understood by the Jews who adhered to the literal interpretation of the
Scriptures. He here says, that the Lord Jesus was "the Spirit" to which he referred, and by which he was enabled to understand the
Old Testament so as to speak plainly, and without obscurity. The sense is, that Christ was the Spirit; that is, the sum, the substance
of the Old Testament. The figures, types, prophecies, etc. all centered in him, and he was the end of all those institutions. If
contemplated as having reference to him, it was easy to understand them. This I take to be the sentiment of the pas sage, though
expositors have been greatly divided in regard to its meaning. Thus explained, it does not mean absolutely and abstractly that the
Lord Jesus was "a Spirit," but that he was the sum, the essence, the end, and the purport of the Mosaic rites, the spirit of which
Paul had spoken in 2 Corinthians 3:6, as contradistinguished from the letter of the Law.
And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty - This is a general truth designed to illustrate the particular sentiment which he
had just advanced. The word "liberty" here (ἐλευθερία eleutheria) refers, I think, to freedom in speaking; the power of speaking
openly, and freely, as in 2 Corinthians 3:12. It states the general truth, that the effect of the Spirit of God was to give light and
clearness of view; to remove obscurity from a subject, and to enable one to see it plainly. This would be a truth that could not be
denied by the Jews, who held to the doctrine that the Spirit of God revealed truth, and it must be admitted by all. Under the
influence of that Spirit, therefore, Paul says, that he was able to speak with openness, and boldness; that he had a clear view of
truth, which the mass of the Jews had not; and that the system of religion which he preached was open, plain, and clear. The word
"freedom," would perhaps, better convey the idea. "There is freedom from the dark and obscure views of the Jews; freedom from
their prejudices, and their superstitions; freedom from the slavery and bondage of sin; the freedom of the children of God, who
have clear views of him as their Father and Redeemer and who are enabled to express those views openly and boldly to the
world."
---Now the Lord is that/the Spirit - The word "Lord" here evidently refers to the Lord Jesus; see 2 Corinthians 3:16. If we follow the
line of argumentation of the Trinitarian that the “Lord is that/the Spirit”, it means “Jesus is that/the Holy Spirit”, which is another
violation to the Trinity doctrine “Jesus is not the Holy Spirit and vice versa”. Not just that, we would come up to conclusion that
the Trinitarian is denying the Lord Jesus Christ a TRUE HUMAN by nature which makes them ANTICHRIST.
As Apostle John stated “There are a lot of smooth-talking charlatans loose in the world who refuse to believe that Jesus Christ was
TRULY HUMAN, a flesh-and-blood human being. Give them their true title: DECEIVER! ANTICHRIST! “(2 John 1:7, MSG)
Trinitarians and Jesus-is-God theology are antichrist and deceiver for they deny the Lord Jesus Christ as flesh and blood human
being by nature, rather they made the Lord Jesus Christ a SPIRIT by nature, having no flesh and bones(Luke. 24:39)
In conclusion, Trinitarians who argues that the Lord is the/that Spirit or Jesus is that/the Spirit is unscriptural, antichrist doctrine
and also contradiction to their Trinity doctrine
OTHERS: HOLY SPIRIT
---God also spoke to the prophets through the Holy Spirit:
“For no prophecy was ever brought about through human initiative, BUT MEN SPOKE FROM GOD AS THEY WERE CARRIED ALONG
BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.” (2 Pet. 1:21)
---The Holy Spirit will speak the truth to the messengers by dwelling to them.
"THEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD FELL UPON ME, and said to me, "Speak! 'Thus says the LORD: "Thus you have said, O house of
Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind."( Ezekiel 11:5)
"The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells
with you and will be in you." (John 14:17, NKJV)
---Also, notice what the Lord said "The Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows
Him". That's why, How can the Holy Spirit be omnipresent if it ONLY dwells to the believers or disciples??
“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit
of Christ does not belong to him.” (Rom. 8:9)
---so, the spirit of God dwells to the atheists??? lols
"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he
shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come/' (John 16:13)
---Also, notice what the Lord said "for he shall not speak of himself;". That's why, How can the Holy Spirit be omniscient if it does
not speak of himself, but whatever it shall hear???
