R.C. Sproul: For the Doctrine of the Trinity

[@youngsamuel1]

I thank God that when I was a strung out heroin addict God did not require me to understand how He is comprised. I cried out to Jesus and He snatched me from the power of hell and set my feet to dancing. I now pray to my Father and worship at the feet of His only begotten Son. He continues to love and bless me in this.

[@kamnyechukwuekene]

[@sweynforkbeardtraindude]

Nothing he said was simple or clear. No one is able to explain the trinity simply and clearly, as any defense or explanation by nature will be convoluted.

[@S.R.M.]

Where you heard simplicity, it was really confusing. Does a Christian need to believe in the Trinity to be saved? And if so, why did our Savior, nor the disciples, ever teach the doctrine of the Trinity? Why would Christians give credence to a council of men coming together to argue who God is (The Council of Nicaea in 325 CE), and thereby seek to define God? Can mankind define God? No, God reveals Himself to mankind. 1 John 5:7-8, The Johannine Comma is an interpolation according to Christian scholars (words added) to the Bible by over-zealous Trinitarians, who wanted some testimony to the Trinity, due to the fact that in the Bible there is none. Matthew 28:19 has come under suspicion, a commandment allegedly given by Christ to the disciples, but the disciples only baptized in the Savior’s name only, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts. The early church historian Eusebius, wrote (published circa 316 CE) in his book, Matthew 28:19, that Christ actually said, "Go and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, PENGU1N CLASSICS, 1965). The Trinity has only really existed since the 4th century. Historian H.G. Wells factually stated, "There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from Him" (The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499). Martin Luther is quoted in a sermon saying, "It is indeed true that the name 'Trinity' is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man" (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, p. 406, 1988). It is time that the false Trinity Doctrine cease to exist in Christianity! Catholics and Protestants agree that “Whoever will be saved: before all things, it is necessary to keep the Catholic faith… unless he keeps this faith whole, he will perish everlastingly...And the Catholic faith is this: we worship one God in Trinity” (Catholicism, p. 69, 1961). Protestant professor of Theology James White, states, “The Trinity doctrine is misunderstood as well as ignored. It is so misunderstood that a majority of Christians when asked, give incorrect and at times downright heretical definitions of the Trinity” (James White, The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). According to James White, around 75% of Christians, who think themselves to be Trinitarians, are actually Modalists. One God who at different times represents Himself in three different modes of being: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. If belief in the Trinity doctrine is so critical to our salvation, then why did Christ and the disciples not preach the Trinity, which historically developed over 300 years after Christ? To say that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, when Christ never stipulated the doctrine as a prerequisite for salvation is the grossest form of legalism! The man-made Trinity Doctrine is so ingrained into the imagination of Christians for salvation when Christ and the apostles never ever taught it, that many will actually stand condemned for believing in the Trinity according to the Tradition of men, and not of God. Christ warned us about teaching doctrines without one thus says the LORD! And He...said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…” He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition” (Mark 7:6-9). Christians do not need to believe in the Trinity in order to receive salvation and eternal life in the Kingdom of God! If Christians needed to believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, then it would be taught in the New Testament by our Lord and Savior, and it, the Trinity, was not taught in the New Testament. The Trinity is a useless Doctrine based solely on the misunderstanding of men. It is time for Christians to free themselves from the doctrines of men. The Son of God declared: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). YAH is the meaning of I AM. By this statement, Christ told the Jews that He is their God, the very God of Israel. Not to take this statement as true in that He, the Son of God, is lesser than His Father and God is tantamount to calling Him a liar. Based on everything presented here, the statement by churches that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved is the highest form of legalism.

So many folks have so much trouble with the concept of the Trinity. It generally centers on the Deity of Jesus Christ. The problem with those who have an issue with the Trinity always deals with what they believe who Jesus is. It is simple, read the Bible carefully and you will clearly see that Jesus is God incarnate and made several visits to the Old Testament greats. The New Testament completes the teaching that Jesus is the Great God of the scriptures. Thr Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit...3 persons are the one being God. The Father is God The Son is God The Holy Spirit is God The Bible describes and calls each of them God. Amazingly, God said He created the Heaven and the Earth by Himself. YET... The Bible says that the Father created the Heavens and the Earth. It also says that the Son created the Heaven and the Earth and yes the Bible says the Holy Spirit created the Heaven and the Earth. The Bible is not in contradiction...The being that is God created the Heaven and the Earth by Himself, indeed ! The Trinity is a concept that simply describes a Biblical truth. Read and study the Bible by itself. Do not be like these 2 heretics.

[@S.R.M.]

@@Makeitmakesensejo You do not have to be a Trinitarian to be Christian. Does a Christian need to believe in the Trinity to be saved? And if so, why did our Savior, nor the disciples, ever teach the doctrine of the Trinity? Why would Christians give credence to a council of men coming together to argue who God is (The Council of Nicaea in 325 CE), and thereby seek to define God? Can mankind define God? No, God reveals Himself to mankind. 1 John 5:7-8, The Johannine Comma is an interpolation according to Christian scholars (words added) to the Bible by over-zealous Trinitarians, who wanted some testimony to the Trinity, due to the fact that in the Bible there is none. Matthew 28:19 has come under suspicion, a commandment allegedly given by Christ to the disciples, but the disciples only baptized in the Savior’s name only, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts. The early church historian Eusebius, wrote (published circa 316 CE) in his book, Matthew 28:19, that Christ actually said, "Go and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, PENGU1N CLASSICS, 1965). The Trinity has only really existed since the 4th century. Historian H.G. Wells factually stated, "There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from Him" (The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499). Martin Luther is quoted in a sermon saying, "It is indeed true that the name 'Trinity' is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man" (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, p. 406, 1988). It is time that the false Trinity Doctrine cease to exist in Christianity! Catholics and Protestants agree that “Whoever will be saved: before all things, it is necessary to keep the Catholic faith… unless he keeps this faith whole, he will perish everlastingly...And the Catholic faith is this: we worship one God in Trinity” (Catholicism, p. 69, 1961). Protestant professor of Theology James White, states, “The Trinity doctrine is misunderstood as well as ignored. It is so misunderstood that a majority of Christians when asked, give incorrect and at times downright heretical definitions of the Trinity” (James White, The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). According to James White, around 75% of Christians, who think themselves to be Trinitarians, are actually Modalists. One God who at different times represents Himself in three different modes of being: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. If belief in the Trinity doctrine is so critical to our salvation, then why did Christ and the disciples not preach the Trinity, which historically developed over 300 years after Christ? To say that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, when Christ never stipulated the doctrine as a prerequisite for salvation is the grossest form of legalism! The man-made Trinity Doctrine is so ingrained into the imagination of Christians for salvation when Christ and the apostles never ever taught it, that many will actually stand condemned for believing in the Trinity according to the Tradition of men, and not of God. Christ warned us about teaching doctrines without one thus says the LORD! And He...said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…” He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition” (Mark 7:6-9). Christians do not need to believe in the Trinity in order to receive salvation and eternal life in the Kingdom of God! If Christians needed to believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, then it would be taught in the New Testament by our Lord and Savior, and it, the Trinity, was not taught in the New Testament. The Trinity is a useless Doctrine based solely on the misunderstanding of men. It is time for Christians to free themselves from the doctrines of men. The Son of God declared: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). YAH is the meaning of I AM. By this statement, Christ told the Jews that He is their God, the very God of Israel. Not to take this statement as true in that He, the Son of God, is lesser than His Father and God is tantamount to calling Him a liar. Based on everything presented here, the statement by churches that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved is the highest form of legalism.

The Trinity was a political idea not even a religious one. I've been studying on the trinity for a while now and can I just say that there is a genuine need for thorough comprehensive study of the fundamental Bible truths we hold. People rely so much on the Pope, pastors, prophets and others to teach them the Bible, that they are prone to putting the pastor's word above the Lord's. We need to study the Bible ourselves through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We have to allow God to speak for Himself. This is what God has opened my eyes to, now I see why sometimes Athiests and Agnostics and people of other faith think Christians are brainwashed, because we rather rely on pastors and church leaders to teach us about God other than having a relationship with God, studying His word, and questioning the doctrines that we are taught. The Lord laid it on my heart to tell you this. To tell anyone that would listen this. The doctrine of the trinity is false. I've studied the history of the trinity, tracing from Athanasius to Constantine and thanks to the Holy Spirit, I've left that belief. I believe in Jesus Christ, He is the Father incarnated. The Father, Son, and HS are not sperate "persons" but one person who has revealed Himself in more ways than one. It's important to know, especially when telling others about our faith, the truth about out beliefs. The Trinity has always been a hot topic in the church for centuries after Jesus ascended. It's nothing new. This is a brief summary of the history concerning this doctrine. But centuries ago, in the late 200s and early 300s, the leaders of the Christians church were trying to figure out what the NT books meant when they talked about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Because we have to note that the NT books were compiled around the 3 or 4 century. And this caused confusion The church leaders had no idea the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So out of confusion they began coming up with theories, marking out their positions, kicking each other out of the church, and breaking up (this is one of the things that caused the East and West schism which was the break of communion between the Catholic church and other churches) and they told everyone who didn't believe in their doctrine that they would go to hell. The topic of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was one of, if not the biggest topic among Christian leaders in the year 325. The Roman Emperor Constantine who is sometimes seen as "the first Christian" emperor when in reality the guy was a pagan and saw religion as a way to expand and unite his empire. So Constantine along with some of the church bishops held a council in the town called Nicaea, and these bishops came up with the first version of the statement of faith that attempted to define the relationship between the Son and the Father. The statement they drafted is called the Nicene Creed which is what the vast majority of Christians and Christian churches have accepted as essential doctrine. And yet this is where the church got off track why? because although the Nicene creed does not contain the words "trinity" or "persons" (neither does the Bible by the way), what it DID say about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit set the church on a course towards the doctrine of the Trinity of persons. One or 2 centuries later, the Athanasian creed, another statement of faith which was composed and assembled by St Athanasius, greatly expanded on the Nicene creed and DID include the words "trinity" and persons. This introduced contradiction, confusion, and polytheism into the church even though no one wants to admit it. (notice how none of them, not the church fathers, not Tertullian, or even St. Athanasius called upon the Lord, like the people in the Bible did. Whenever the children of the Lord wanted to know about God they called to Him and He answered. But in this situation, no one did that. None of them claim to even be inspired by God. All of this confusion was created by men trying to figure God out without the Spirit of God. God is not the author of confusion, but we get ourselves confused when we don't consult God about anything.

Kevin 22 hours ago My own explanation of the trinity is more practical rather than biblical. Even so, the biblical explanation remains superior because it is realized through the word of God. Four commonly agreed upon attributes of God: God is perfect. God knows all things perfectly. Third, God exists everywhere, all at the same time. Fourth, God is perfect love and loves perfectly. My assertion is that: If three beings had these four traits, it is reasonable to say they are all three God. I reason that: Because all three are different persons (the who's) that are perfect, all-knowing, exist everywhere at the same time, and are perfect love and love perfectly, it is reasonable that they would all three would come to the same exact conclusions, would have a physical presence everywhere at the same time, and have a perfect love for His creation as well as each person in the trinity. As a side, I find it interesting to think about some of the potential differences between the members of the trinity, such as creativity and the different roles of each member, i.e., Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. My conclusion: Each member would think perfect thoughts. Would come to the exact same conclusions. Would never conflict with each other. They would know the perfect good for all things and matters. They would have/or define perfect morality. They would perfectly know the outcome of all things, given all possible circumstances, truth, and all variances. Each would exist in all places at the same time. Each would perfectly know each other in perfect truth and they would love each other as much as they love themselves. Three such beings would be of one mind in thought, truth, love, morality, and even physically, just to list a few. So three such beings would, in fact, be God (one what). I believe biblical reasoning alone is enough evidence. Still, my logical explanation helps me to be able to speak with those who do not believe the biblical support for the trinity. Full disclosure: Like all analogies from a finite mind, my analogy will eventually break down if carried out too far, but I think it lays out the groundwork for the understanding of a God-head trinity.

[@greglance4335]

The doctrine of the Trinity can be easily prove wrong by objective biblical and historic study. The mystery of the trinity is that there are two definitions of the word God and they equivocate between using the word God as a noun and and adjective. In fact the "being" is used as a noun and an adjective. In fact every key word in the doctrine of the trinity was left undefined by the writers of the three major historic creeds, so it is impossible to get an exact definition of the trinity if you really study into it as I have done. The word hypostasise or "person" was left undefined because it was defined differently in the Western Latin church to the Eastern Greek church. In Nicean creed God is 1 hypostasise, but this is changed in 381AD to 3 hypostasises because the definition was unclear. In fact the Roman Catholic Church changed the 381AD creed of Constantinople without the approval of the other Orthodox churches. So all you Protestants have been deceived into thinking you are believing the original 381AD creed when in fact you are not. This is sad when objective truth is denied by those who claim that truth is important. I have read the writings of the church fathers and they we're mixture of Modelists, semi- Arian, Binity and Unititrian who believed the Son was subordinate to the Father. Their views on the Holy Spirit differed depending on who you read. Origin, Basil and the two Gregory's were influenced by Neo-Platoism which you need to study as that is the foundational concept of how 3 can be 1. It is not Bibilcial reasoning at all.

The Greek word “theotetos” in Colossians 2:9 is translated “fullness of the Godhead” in the King James Version. However, according to Liddell and Scott’s Greek-English Lexicon, “theotetos” means “divinity” or “divine nature.” The fact that Christ possesses “divine nature” or the quality of “divinity” does not mean that Christ is God himself. It means that all of the excelling qualities that God the Father possesses also dwell in Christ. If Jesus is God, why does Colossians 3:1 say that Christ is “seated at the right hand of God”?

They were very tall in magnificent Robes. My interested at that time was how they seemed to be gliding in the air! I want to see their feet. I thought in myself. Fortunately and to my amazement, they came down and stood before me. The leader took short stick like a “relay baton” and touched my chest with it and said “We Bless you” and floated away!

@@TheRastacabbage Does a Christian need to believe in the Trinity to be saved? And if so, why did our Savior, nor the disciples, ever teach the doctrine of the Trinity? Why would Christians give credence to a council of men coming together to argue who God is (The Council of Nicaea in 325 CE), and thereby seek to define God? Can mankind define God? No, God reveals Himself to mankind. 1 John 5:7-8, The Johannine Comma is an interpolation according to Christian scholars (words added) to the Bible by over-zealous Trinitarians, who wanted some testimony to the Trinity, due to the fact that in the Bible there is none. Matthew 28:19 has come under suspicion, a commandment allegedly given by Christ to the disciples, but the disciples only baptized in the Savior’s name only, as demonstrated in the Book of Acts. The early church historian Eusebius, wrote (published circa 316 CE) in his book, Matthew 28:19, that Christ actually said, "Go and make disciples of all the nations in my name" (Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, PENGU1N CLASSICS, 1965). The Trinity has only really existed since the 4th century. Historian H.G. Wells factually stated, "There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the Trinity-at any rate from Him" (The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499). Martin Luther is quoted in a sermon saying, "It is indeed true that the name 'Trinity' is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man" (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, p. 406, 1988). It is time that the false Trinity Doctrine cease to exist in Christianity! Catholics and Protestants agree that “Whoever will be saved: before all things, it is necessary to keep the Catholic faith… unless he keeps this faith whole, he will perish everlastingly...And the Catholic faith is this: we worship one God in Trinity” (Catholicism, p. 69, 1961). Protestant professor of Theology James White, states, “The Trinity doctrine is misunderstood as well as ignored. It is so misunderstood that a majority of Christians when asked, give incorrect and at times downright heretical definitions of the Trinity” (James White, The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). According to James White, around 75% of Christians, who think themselves to be Trinitarians, are actually Modalists. One God who at different times represents Himself in three different modes of being: Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. If belief in the Trinity doctrine is so critical to our salvation, then why did Christ and the disciples not preach the Trinity, which historically developed over 300 years after Christ? To say that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, when Christ never stipulated the doctrine as a prerequisite for salvation is the grossest form of legalism! The man-made Trinity Doctrine is so ingrained into the imagination of Christians for salvation when Christ and the apostles never ever taught it, that many will actually stand condemned for believing in the Trinity according to the Tradition of men, and not of God. Christ warned us about teaching doctrines without one thus says the LORD! And He...said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men…” He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition” (Mark 7:6-9). Christians do not need to believe in the Trinity in order to receive salvation and eternal life in the Kingdom of God! If Christians needed to believe in the Trinity in order to be saved, then it would be taught in the New Testament by our Lord and Savior, and it, the Trinity, was not taught in the New Testament. The Trinity is a useless Doctrine based solely on the misunderstanding of men. It is time for Christians to free themselves from the doctrines of men. The Son of God declared: “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). YAH is the meaning of I AM. By this statement, Christ told the Jews that He is their God, the very God of Israel. Not to take this statement as true in that He, the Son of God, is lesser than His Father and God is tantamount to calling Him a liar. Based on everything presented here, the statement by churches that one must believe in the Trinity in order to be saved is the highest form of legalism.

I've been studying on the trinity for a while now and can I just say that there is a genuine need for thorough comprehensive study of the fundamental Bible truths we hold. People rely so much on the Pope, pastors, prophets and others to teach them the Bible, that they are prone to putting the pastor's word above the Lord's. We need to study the Bible ourselves through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. We have to allow God to speak for Himself. This is what God has opened my eyes to, now I see why sometimes Athiests and Agnostics and people of other faith think Christians are brainwashed, because we rather rely on pastors and church leaders to teach us about God other than having a relationship with God, studying His word, and questioning the doctrines that we are taught. The Lord laid it on my heart to tell you this. To tell anyone that would listen this. The doctrine of the trinity is false. I've studied the history of the trinity, tracing from Athanasius to Constantine and thanks to the Holy Spirit, I've left that belief. I believe in Jesus Christ, He is the Father incarnated. The Father, Son, and HS are not sperate "persons" but one person who has revealed Himself in more ways than one. It's important to know, especially when telling others about our faith, the truth about out beliefs. The Trinity has always been a hot topic in the church for centuries after Jesus ascended. It's nothing new. This is a brief summary of the history concerning this doctrine. But centuries ago, in the late 200s and early 300s, the leaders of the Christians church were trying to figure out what the NT books meant when they talked about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Because we have to note that the NT books were compiled around the 3 or 4 century. And this caused confusion The church leaders had no idea the relationship between the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. So out of confusion they began coming up with theories, marking out their positions, kicking each other out of the church, and breaking up (this is one of the things that caused the East and West schism which was the break of communion between the Catholic church and other churches) and they told everyone who didn't believe in their doctrine that they would go to hell. The topic of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit was one of, if not the biggest topic among Christian leaders in the year 325. The Roman Emperor Constantine who is sometimes seen as "the first Christian" emperor when in reality the guy was a pagan and saw religion as a way to expand and unite his empire. So Constantine along with some of the church bishops held a council in the town called Nicaea, and these bishops came up with the first version of the statement of faith that attempted to define the relationship between the Son and the Father. The statement they drafted is called the Nicene Creed which is what the vast majority of Christians and Christian churches have accepted as essential doctrine. And yet this is where the church got off track why? because although the Nicene creed does not contain the words "trinity" or "persons" (neither does the Bible by the way), what it DID say about the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit set the church on a course towards the doctrine of the Trinity of persons. One or 2 centuries later, the Athanasian creed, another statement of faith which was composed and assembled by St Athanasius, greatly expanded on the Nicene creed and DID include the words "trinity" and persons. This introduced contradiction, confusion, and polytheism into the church even though no one wants to admit it. (notice how none of them, not the church fathers, not Tertullian, or even St. Athanasius called upon the Lord, like the people in the Bible did. Whenever the children of the Lord wanted to know about God they called to Him and He answered. But in this situation, no one did that. None of them claim to even be inspired by God. All of this confusion was created by men trying to figure God out without the Spirit of God. God is not the author of confusion, but we get ourselves confused when we don't consult God about anything.

Many historians and religious scholars attest to the influence of Greek or Platonic philosophy in the development and acceptance of the Trinity doctrine in the fourth century. But what did such philosophy entail, and how did it come to affect the doctrine of the Trinity? Philosophical speculation later led Greek thinkers to refine Plato's concepts into what they referred to as three "substances"… the supreme God or "the One," from which came "mind" or "thought" and a "spirit" or "soul." In their thinking, all were different divine "substances" or aspects of the same God. Another way of expressing this was as "good," the personification of that good, and the agent by which that good is carried out. Again, these were different divine aspects of that same supreme good, distinct and yet unified as one. Such metaphysical thinking was common among the intelligentsia of the Greek world and carried over into the thinking of the Roman world of the New Testament period and succeeding centuries. As the last of the apostles began to die off, some of this metaphysical thinking began to affect and infiltrate the early Church… primarily through those who had already begun to compromise with paganism. Here we see two distinct threads of Christianity split and developed separately… one true to the plain and simple teachings of the Bible and the other increasingly compromised with pagan thought and practices adopted from the Greco-Roman world. Paul warned Christians: “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ.” (Colossians 2:8) Many of the church leaders who formulated the doctrine of the Trinity were steeped in Greek and Platonic philosophy, and this influenced their religious views and teaching. The language they used in describing and defining the Trinity is, in fact, taken directly from Platonic and Greek philosophy. The word trinity itself is neither biblical nor Christian. Rather, the Platonic term trias, from the word for three, was Latinized as trinitas … the latter giving us the English word trinity. "The Alexandria catechetical school, which revered Clement of Alexandria and Origen, the greatest theologian of the Greek Church, as its heads, applied the allegorical method to the explanation of Scripture. Its thought was influenced by Plato: its strong point was [pagan] theological speculations. Athanasius and the three Cappadocians [the men whose Trinitarian views were adopted by the Catholic Church at the Councils of Nicaea and Constantinople] had been included among its members" (Hubert Jedin, Ecumenical Councils of the Catholic Church: an Historical Outline, 1960, p. 28). "The doctrines of the Logos [i.e., the "Word," a designation for Christ in John 1] and the Trinity received their shape from Greek Fathers, who . . . were much influenced, directly or indirectly, by the Platonic philosophy . . . That errors and corruptions crept into the Church from this source can not be denied" (The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, Samuel Macauley Jackson, editor, 1911, Vol. 9, p. 91). The preface to historian Edward Gibbons' History of Christianity sums up the Greek influence on the adoption of the Trinity doctrine by stating: "If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians . . . was changed, by the Church of Rome, into the incomprehensible dogma of the trinity. Many of the pagan tenets, invented by the Egyptians and idealized by Plato, were retained as being worthy of belief" (1883, p. xvi).

The problem with the early church’s thinking, post apostles was they went to the drawing board (as RC explains here) and tried to explain the God of the universe so instead of leavings things as Jesus taught His disciples, the early church, post apostles where not satisfied with Christ teaching so they dabbled in platonism and Greek philosophy to explain the God of the universe. Right and what could wrong???

The Trinity, and Christianity, but just the rational side, is explained by Kant in Religion Within The Boundaries of Mere Reason. He does talk about the ecclesiastical side of things and how they fit within reason as well. He doesn't discuss faith and says the essay is too small to discuss the meaning of "religion". This essay converted me from agnostic to Christian. Many Christians don't like Kant, and I really wonder why. I wonder if they have been corrupted. Kantian thought does not in any way lead to subjectivism Leftist thinking as so many claim, unless he is being read loosely by the reader. He is not meant to be read loosely, but rather studied. His books take on new and deeper meanings with subsequent readings. I could spend my entire life only reading and studying Kant.

There is no trinity, Yehovah is God who created Jesus, the first of all creations. Col ch 1 verse 12 to 18...

[@richardsorel4647]

@@technicianbis5250 although the word "Trinity" does not appear in Bible, the concept of a Triune God is all throughout scripture. First, we need to establish the Deity of Jesus Christ, and by using scripture, prove that He and the Father are co-equal. This will help give credibility to the words that Jesus speaks in the New Testament. Compare the language of Daniel 6:26 with that of Daniel 7: 13-14. Notice, the description of Yahweh's kingdom and dominion. It says, "FOR HE IS THE LIVING GOD and enduring forever, and HIS KINGDOM is one which WILL NOT BE DESTROYED, and HIS DOMINION WILL BE FOREVER." In Daniel 7:13-14, we read, "I kept looking in the night visions, and behold with the clouds of heaven, one like a Son of Man (Mk. 2:10-11; Mt. 18:11) was coming, and He came up to the Ancient of Days (God) and was presented before him. AND TO HIM was given DOMINION GLORY and a KINGDOM, that all the people's, nations and men of every language might serve Him. HIS DOMINION IS AN EVERLASTING DOMINION WHICH WILL NOT PASS AWAY AND HIS KINGDOM IS ONE WHICH WILL NOT BE DESTROYED." Now we turn to the words of Jesus Himself in John 14:24-26, "he who does not love me does not keep my words, and the word which you hear is not mine but the Father's who sent me. These things I have spoken to you while abiding with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, HE will teach you all things and bring to remembrance all that I said to you." Notice that we have all members of the Trinity here, and that the Holy Spirit is referred to with the personal pronoun "He" and not "it." Keep reading on down in the chapters that follow, and Jesus tightens up this relationship between these co-equal partners. (See also, Gen. 1:26; Jn.1:1)

@@richardsorel4647 "although the word "trinity" I am aware of certain verses that seem to pertain to a triune God but there are many others that disclaim it like Col ch1 verse 12 to 18 where it states clearly that Jesus was "created" the he was the first of "all" creations. Now read other verses where Jesus himself states he "does nothing with out Gods blessing" , or perhaps where Jesus tells us "the Father is greater than the Son" , or maybe John ch 14 "the Father sent him" ..

[@richardsorel4647]

@@technicianbis5250 you're right the Bible is a puzzle, but I think there's more that points to a Triune God then not. For example you mentioned where Jesus said, "my Father is greater than I. "The reason for this is that Jesus set aside some of his privileges for the purpose of fulfilling his role of being an atoning sacrifice. Phil. 2:6-8 says, "who although HE EXISTED IN THE FORM OF GOD, did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped, but EMPTIED HIMSELF TAKING THE FORM OF A BONDSERVANT and being made in the likeness of men. Being found in appearance as a man HE HUMBLED HIMSELF by becoming obedient to the point of death even death on a cross. (See Is. 53:4-6; Is. 53:10). As far as the Deity of Christ is concerned, we also have the "Angel of the Lord" passages where God is clearly speaking, but appears in human form. Many Christians believe these scriptures to be depicting a pre-incarnate Jesus Christ. An example would be Genesis 18, where it says that the Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre. When Abraham looked up, he saw three men standing across from him. Abraham has a conversation with the LORD starting in vs 10, and then the LORD departs from Abraham in vs 33. Immediately following this conversation, in chapter 19 we read, "now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening..." Clearly one of the three men (who we know where Angels because of the way Abraham bowed and showed hospitality (Gen. 18:2-8), was the LORD. (See also Judges 13:16-23, and Zech. 12:8, where the "Angel of the LORD" and God are used interchangeably. These are great places to strengthen your theology.

Wow. Now I finally understand the trinity. Worshipping the trinity is like being married to God but having two mistresses on the side. Worshipping the two mistresses is adultery and idolatry. Committing both idolatry and adultery will guarantee my soul a place in eternal hell until my soul is extinguished for eternity. What a wonderful idea! Read Deuteronomy 13:6 for more clarification.

[@johnzarr6590]

@Timbo Slice You have a great question. Great questions deserve great answers! The original sinner, Christ, was punished by death at a very young age for misleading his followers as God promises He will do to all false prophets in Deuteronomy 13. Now the question is what to do with all the millions of followers. Christ’s millions of followers are already being punished by a very low birth rate. Additionally, just look at the Catholic Church with its huge pedophilic priest problem. Isn’t that punishment enough? Christian mega church owner Joel Osteen is another form of punishment for Christians as he is getting rich off of millions of Christians. I could go on for hours, but my bedtime is near. Have a great day!
