False Concepts of Trinitarian-ism



False Concepts of Trinitarian-ism

After reading and studying several articles and thesis concerning the nature of God as God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Spirit, I have come to the conclusion that the finite mind and intellect of a human being is completely incapable of understanding that nature.  Some have tried and many, if not all, have failed.  The following material is a series of excerpts from various sources.

The Comma Johanneum
From: www.gotquestions.org
The Comma Johanneum, also known as the Comma Johannine, is a textual variant in regards to 1 John 5:7-8. The word comma simply means “short clause,” and Johanneum means “pertaining to John.” Without the “comma,” 1 John 5:7-8 reads, “For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.” With the “comma,” 1 John 5:7-8 reads, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.” If the Comma Johanneum was originally part of 1 John 5:7-8, it would be the clearest and most direct reference to the Trinity in the entire Bible.

Trinitarian doctrine was added to the Manuscripts and, by extension however, it is highly unlikely that the Comma Johanneum was originally a part of 1 John. None of the oldest Greek manuscripts of 1 John contain the comma, and none of the very early church fathers include it when quoting or referencing 1 John 5:7-8. The presence of the Comma Johanneum in Greek manuscripts is actually quite rare until the 15th century A.D. It is primarily found in Latin manuscripts. While some of the Latin manuscripts containing the Comma Johanneum are ancient, the Comma Johanneum did not appear in the original Latin Vulgate written by Jerome.

In the 16th century, when Desiderius Erasmus was compiling what became known as the Textus Receptus, he did not include the Comma Johanneum in the 1st or 2nd editions. Due to intense pressure from the Catholic Church and others who wanted it included because of its support for trinitarianism, Erasmus included the Comma Johanneum in later editions of the Textus Receptus.

symbol. Mary has been elevated to Co-Saviour with Christ.

The Biblical Bride or Church of God believes in only "ONE GOD" and that his name is only one. Jesus is the one God in flesh and Jesus is the only "Name of God". Salvation is only found in the Name of JESUS.

Acts 4:12: Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. 

Acts 2:38: Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 

Zechariah:14:9: And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one

The above graphic is an example of how the trinity concept was engrafted into the Catholic Church and other branches of Trinity practice. The Hindu symbolism is just one of many pagan idols these churches have used to allow the trinity concept. Remember at the Roman Council of Nicea many of the bishops in attendance practiced paganism and eastern mysticism in their own states, which at the time were under Roman law. If we look deeper into this issue we will find many more symbols the pagan trinity nations conceived, and we can further prove how they were engrafted into the Modern Trinity Church Dogma, starting at Rome. Eastern mysticism, Hinduism, Kabbala-ism Gnosticism, Talmud-ism, all these practices and beliefs have made the Revelation of the end time Anti-Christ Spirit that much more observant in our world today. It is the Trinity spirit and concept which makes war with truth, infiltrating the New Testament Age, thereby becoming the Daughter of the Babylonian Whore in Spirit:

The Roman Church and other denominations who uphold tri-theism will vehemently deny this. However, the study of many scholars, archeologists and historians concludes that: "this is indeed a sign of the Anti-Christ spirit which is biblically spoken of concerning the end times. This theology has become a stepping stone for the antichrist and the mark of the beast to enter the modern world"...

In conclusion this author would like to make one point clear. Tri-theistic Worship, as we know today, all started with Israel, who, in Babylonian captivity, allowed the teachings and practices of Nimrod to be observed, thereby turning against the God of Israel. The Old Testament proves this time and time again. From these practices we find the birth of Kabbala-ism, then Mysticism, Hinduism, Islam, Egyptian Mysticism, Gnosticism. Down it traveled the lineages until it reached Rome at the Nicene Council of 325 A.D. From that point in time, the Babylonian Trinity concept entered the New Testament age and has become the most cunning heresy in the churches who claim Jesus as Lord today. This is why we have "denominations" in the church today (Personal Note: At least one reason for denominations but not the only one).

Source Unknown
The pagan god worshipped in The Mystery Religion of Babylon was a triune god made up of Father/Son/Mother of God.    We see this abomination as a constant theme not only among pagan religions but also condemned in The Bible as YHVH is not a triune god but the one and only living God.  It is the worship of this triune “Trinity” representation of gods that opposes the God in The Bible as YHVH declares “you shall have no other gods before me”… “Before me” is the English translation of the Hebrew words “in my face”.  The same expression used of Nimrod who was described as a “mighty hunter before YHVH’ or rather a “mighty hunter in the face of YHVH” implying rebellion against God.  So we are to “have no other gods in YHVH’s face!”

NOTE:  The declaration that YHVH is ONE not a Trinity is the central theme in the True Faith of every man of God in the Bible, including The Messiah.  This knowledge of YHVH being the one and only Creator and God is the very “mark” on the forehead of the Elect called “The Shema” that marks the very elect for eternal life.  When Yahusha (the True Messiah) was asked the single greatest commandment of God, he quoted The Shema (Shema means “hear” in Hebrew) by quoting literally from The Torah:

And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  (Mark 12:29 KJV)

Yahusha was quoting Deuteronomy 6:4 verbatim.  This passage of Deuteronomy is also defined as the “mark between our eyes and on our right hands”.  It IS the “mark of YHVH” that sets us apart from this “false religion” whose mark is literally The Trinity made on the foreheads of newly baptized babied and over the hearts of literally billions every day as they make “the sign of the cross” in the name of The Trinity.  I’ll get to this too in great detail.
The declaration known as The Shema and declared by The Messiah as THE greatest command of all… is a direct contradiction of The Trinity!  The Shema is, in fact, the very “Mark of God” opposing the “Mark” of the beastly religious system of Babylon… which is The Trinity.  This “mark” of God displayed by The Messiah and expressed as the single greatest command as we see below is an outright denial of the pagan Trinity gods:

Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear, O Israel: YHVH our God, YHVH is one. 5 Love YHVH your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols (mark) on your hands and bind them (mark) on your foreheads.

The true Messiah Yahusha again demonstrated this singular knowledge of YHVH is the foundation of eternal life.  For He is the giver of life and to receive that life you must be in covenant with YHVH through the Yahushaic Covenant:

John 17:3  And this is eternal life, that they may know You (YHVH), the only true God, and (then there is) Yahusha (the) Messiah whom You (YHVH) have sent (as the Passover sacrifice for sin).

We also see this same triune god is a consistent them in every pagan religion which evolved from the Mystery Religion of Babylon.  This religion of Satan cleverly opposes the Mark of YHVH in the minds (mark of the forehead is a metaphor for knowledge) with what is called The Mark of the Beast.

The Blind Dilemma



The Blind Dilemma

John 9:1-3 KJV  And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.  (2)  And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?  (3)  Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.

In his Gospel, John records a miracle of Jesus healing a beggar, blind since birth, and giving him sight for the first time in his life.  The blind beggar could not see Jesus nor was he able to search for Him, even if told of His existence.

Although physically blind, this beggar represents the spiritually blind such as the Pharisees of that day, and the lost unredeemed of today.  The unredeemed cannot see God and therefore do not search for God.  They can be taught about God and the Bible but they do not understand the teaching.  For the lost to find God their blind eyes must first be opened by God.  As Paul stated, “there is no person who seeks God and His truth”. 

There is no one who understands, there is no one who seeks God.
(Romans 3:11 NET)

As Paul explains again in 1 Corinthians 2:14 “The unbeliever does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. And he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually discerned”.  According to Paul (and God) the unbeliever can’t understand anything spiritual concerning Jesus Christ and the Biblical teachings of scripture because they are spiritually discerned and the unbeliever does not have the spirit of God and thus is not spiritual.  Paul further states that the spiritual person is not understood by anyone (who is not spiritual).

The one who is spiritual discerns all things, yet he himself is understood by no one.   (1 Corinthians 2:15 NET)

The blind man was in an uncomfortable position.  Because of his physical blindness, he could not support himself; he could not seek help or assistance; and he had no monetary means for hiring someone to work for him.  The unredeemed or spiritually blind have similar issues.  They may try, but apart from God they will never find spiritual redemption.  No amount of idolatry, Luciferian doctrine, or false esoteric religion will even admit one into the Kingdom of Heaven or a so-called promised reasonable facsimile offered by Satan/Lucifer/nachash/whatever.

Who Sinned?
John 9:2 NET  His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who committed the sin that caused him to be born blind, this man or his parents?"

Probably from a well-known synagogue teaching, one of the disciples asked Jesus to identify the sinning party – the blind man or his parents. 

You must not worship or serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God. I punish the sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons for the sin of the fathers who reject me,  (Deuteronomy 5:9 NET)

Jesus answered that it was neither one.  Rather, this man was born blind so that the actions of God could be revealed through the coming miracle of healing.  With dirt and spit, Jesus made mud and smeared it on the man’s eyes and told him to go wash it off at the pool of Siloam.  The blind man went and did as he was told and came back with the ability to see.  To the crowds, it was an unbelievable event and they questioned the former blind man.

When the beggar informed the people that a man called Jesus smeared mud on my eyes, told me to wash it off at the Siloam pool, and now I can see.  The crowd took the man to the Pharisees.  Some of the Pharisees exclaimed that Jesus is not from God because He does not observe the Sabbath.  Other wondered how a sinner could perform such miraculous signs.  They asked the former blind man his opinion, and he said, “He is a prophet”.

One of the Pharisees stated they knew that God had spoken to Moses but they didn’t know where Jesus came from.  The seeing man answered, “This is a remarkable thing, that you don't know where He comes from, and yet He caused me to seeWe know that God doesn't listen to sinners, but if anyone is devout and does his will, God listens to him.  Never before has anyone heard of someone causing a man born blind to see.   If this man were not from God, he could do nothing.  The Pharisees became offended because he was presuming to teach them, then accused the man of being born in complete sin and threw him out.

Due to their Old Testament doctrinal misunderstanding, the Pharisees (and most Jews of today) are spiritually and doctrinally blind.  Jesus was not their synagogue learned concept of the Messiah.  They were expecting (and some still expect) the advent of the Davidic, Lion of Judah, Messiah who would bring in their idea of the Kingdom of Heaven (which was heaven on earth) through the actions of a conquering King.  That will only occur at the Millennium.  They may have gotten their desire if they had believed that Jesus was and is the Messiah (who knows).  However, their wish will deceptively be fulfilled when their Messiah-ben-David, the beast/antichrist, appears and declares himself as “god”.  Of course, the Jews are not the only spiritually blind in the world.
