The Truth About the Trinity

 


Introduction
An explanation about how God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are not a trinity.
God is Plural
In Genesis 1:25-28 it says, "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth." It clearly says in this verse that man was created in "our" image, which is God's image in the plural. Since God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are plural they cannot be a trinity. To better describe this, God the Father is the highest being in the universe as Jesus explains and Jesus is God the Son and then there is the Spirit of God the Father, which is God the Father's Spirit given to Jesus to also give to Jesus' followers. 

Jesus Was Created by God the Father
This is controversial in the Christian views but if someone is born, even if he is supernaturally created by God the Father, He is still a creation, a supernatural creation. Jesus was created and God the Father created Him with the Holy Spirit and nobody should disagree with that but many still disagree. So a Trinity is again impossible because a being cannot create itself. 

The Definition of the Trinity
The definition of the Trinity is that "the Christian Godhead is one God in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." The Trinity is the idea that God is one being, but exists in three distinct persons. The word "trinity" comes from the words "tri" and "unity", meaning "three" and "one." This definition seems to be saying that 3 distinct beings are wrapped up in one being. This could possibly mean that in reality there is only one being and this being transforms Himself into 3. This doesn't make sense because Jesus said "The Father is greater than Me." Plus in an upcoming paragraph, I will talk about how God the Father and God the Son want a family and the Christians who love God are the ones who will be added to the God family. But, the Holy Spirit isn't a person, it is the Spirit of God.
=====================================================

Jesus at His Baptism: Matthew 3:17
God the Father spoke from Heaven, This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.” Right here you can read that the Father is in Heaven and Jesus was on Earth so they cannot be a trinity.

Jesus Said the Heavenly Father is Greater than Himself
A being cannot be the same and be greater than himself at the same time. John 14:28 says, 28 "Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I." This verse explains why the Trinity is false. If the trinity was true then all 3, God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit would be one entity which is not true according to this verse. The following definition of the trinity disagrees with what Jesus said,  "'triad', from Latin: trinus 'threefold') is the central doctrine concerning the nature of God in most Christian churches, which defines one God existing in three coequal, coeternal, consubstantial divine persons: God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit, three distinct persons (hypostases) ... This is not true because Jesus said the Father is greater than I." God is also not coequal because again, Jesus said "the Father is greater than I," John 14:28. Sadly, most protestants accept the trinity doctrine.

========================================

What is the Meaning of John 14:26 about the Holy Spirit?
The United Church of God explains that the Holy Spirit, from the evidence found in the Bible, is not a person in a supposed Trinity. The Holy Spirit is the very nature, presence, and expression of God's power actively working in His servants. (Link to the UCG article below). “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” Jesus is not going to abandon us, he promises to send the Advocate, and other translations say the Helper, or the Comforter.

Again, here we see that the Father God does Things Independently of Jesus
The oneness of God comes from God wanting a family called the God Family but every person is independent of each other and not all of them in one God but all of them in the God family. Also, in Genesis it says "Let us create" and this means man was created by both God the Father the co-reigning God who later became Jesus, the Son of God as God the Father introduced the God family by creating Jesus from the co-reigning God.

Hymn: He Hideth My Soul

Image
A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, A wonderful Savior to me; He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock, Where rivers of pleasure I see. He hideth my soul in the cleft of the rock That shadows a dry, thirsty land; He hideth my life in the depths of His love, And covers me there with His hand, And covers me there with His hand. 2 A wonderful Savior is Jesus my Lord, He taketh my burden away He holdeth me up, and I shall not be moved, He giveth me strength as my day. 3 With numberless blessings, each moment He crowns, And, filled with His fulness divine, I sing in my rapture, oh, glory to God, For such a Redeemer as mine! 4 When clothed in His brightness, transported I rise To meet Him in clouds of the sky, His perfect salvation, His wonderful love, I’ll shout with the millions on high. ==================================================== This hymn's lyrics were written by Fanny Jane Crosby (1820-1915). The music was created by William James Kirkpatrick 183...

The Differences between Christians & Christian Nationalists in America

Image
A Christian's Belief Summary: A Christian obeys the U.S. Constitution, which informs people to separate the Church and the State. Christians separate their political and Christian beliefs to avoid conflict. Christians believe that God is love and therefore obey "love each other," which God says to do in the Bible. A mature Christian never forces anything on anyone else, especially their Christian beliefs. Christians know that mixing Christianity with politics leads to killing and war, and therefore, they avoid getting into this kind of behavior. Christians also believe in giving people the choice, since that is what God told people to do. Also, Christians know that freedom is not free because it had to be won with the soldiers who fought and died for it. A Christian knows that "In God we Trust" means to give everyone personal choices. A Christian Nationalist's Summary: On the other hand, a Christian Nationalist wants to unite the U.S. Constitution with their...

Evangelicals Want Religion taught in Schools

Image
Why is instituting religion in schools not going to work? Because there are different religions with differing theological beliefs. Catholics and evangelicals will fight and kill each other over their beliefs like they did in Europe long ago. Muslims will protest because they won't be part of the school system anymore. Children will feel like religion is being forced on them and will hate religion.  There have been many instances where children grew up in very religious homes and their parents' religion was forced onto them and they rejected religion and God for that reason. God gave everyone choice so forcing religion on children is therefore very wrong. If you want to know about the Bible and God then read the Bible and find a good church. The Bible is a historical book. We have much historical history, and people are supposed to learn from history. The Bible is a prime example of this. America's Constitution has a separation of Church and State for the above reasons.
