No such thing as the Trinity

“Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Matthew 24:36) How do these words confirm that Jesus is not Almighty God?

Jesus says that the Father knows more than the Son does. If Jesus were part of Almighty God, however, he would know the same facts as his Father. So, then, the Son and the Father cannot be equal. Yet, some will say: ‘Jesus had two natures. Here he speaks as a man.’ But even if that were so, what about the holy spirit? If it is part of the same God as the Father, why does Jesus not say that it knows what the Father knows?

1st of all Jesus said: He pointed to God as the Source of his life, saying, “I live because of the Father.” According to the context, this meant that his life resulted from or was caused by his Father, even as the gaining of life by dying men would result from their faith in Jesus’ ransom sacrifice.—Joh 6:56, 57.

Jesus’ being called the “only-begotten Son” (Joh 1:14; 3:16, 18) does not mean that the other spirit creatures produced were not God’s sons, for they are called sons as well. (Ge 6:2, 4; Job 1:6) However, by virtue of his being the sole direct creation of his Father, the firstborn Son was unique, different from all others of God’s sons, all of whom were created or begotten by Jehovah through that firstborn Son. So “the Word” was Jehovah’s “only-begotten Son” in a particular sense,

Jesus is also “Mighty God” and “Eternal Father.” This does not mean that he usurps the authority and position of Jehovah, who is “God our Father.” (2 Corinthians 1:2) “He [Jesus] . . . gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God.” (Philippians 2:6) He is called Mighty God, not Almighty God. Jesus never thought of himself as God Almighty, for he spoke of his Father as “the only true God,” that is, the only God who should be worshiped. (John 17:3;


Rev. 1:1; 3:14, RS: “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, why did God have to give the revelation to Jesus, if he is God? .

Does the Bible teach that none of those who are said to be included in the Trinity is greater or less than another, that all are equal, that all are almighty? Mark 13:32, RS: “Of that day or that hour no ones knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.” (Of course, that would not be the case if Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were coequal, comprising one Godhead. And if, as some suggest, the Son was limited by his human nature from knowing, the question remains, Why did the Holy Spirit not know?)

John 14:28, RS: “[Jesus said:] If you loved me, you would have rejoiced, because I go to the Father; for the Father is greater than I.”

1 Cor. 11:3, RS: “I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a woman is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.” (Clearly, then, Christ is not God, and God is of superior rank to Christ. It should be noted that this was written about 55 C.E., some 22 years after Jesus returned to heaven.

A person who is really seeking to know the truth about God is not going to search the Bible hoping to find a text that he can construe as fitting what he already believes. He wants to know what God’s Word itself says. He may find some texts that he feels can be read in more than one way, but when these are compared with other Biblical statements on the same subject their meaning will become clear. It should be noted at the outset that most of the texts used as “proof” of the Trinity actually mention only two persons, not three; so even if the Trinitarian explanation of the texts were correct, these would not prove that the Bible teaches the Trinity.

The be conscious "Trinity" isn't interior the Bible. and you will no longer locate the words "Bible" or "rapture" the two. distinctive words are used for each. Trinity = Godhead; Bible = Scriptures, Gospel, the be conscious, the be attentive to God; rapture = caught up John talked approximately the Trinity while he reported, "For there are 3 that undergo witness in heaven: the father, the be conscious, and the Holy Spirit; and those 3 are one" (a million John 5:7). Jesus is the be conscious (John a million:a million-5, 14). Jesus used the be conscious, Scriptures to describe the writings of Moses, the prophets (the previous testomony) (Luke 24:27). Paul talks approximately being caught up (rapture) in a million Thessalonians 4:17 So, no longer because of the fact a be conscious "Trinity" isn't interior the Bible, it ability that the belief does no longer exist.

"Trinity" is a term that simplifies a more complex doctrine into one word.

In Matthew 3:16-17 all three beings of the Trinity are present at the baptism of Jesus.

In Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning, God created..." the Hebrew word translated "God" ("Elohim") is actually plural. (Although I understand that translators render it singular to maintain reverence since it is used only to refer to God, the Trinity.)

The fact is, the Trinity is three distinct, divine beings completely united in purpose and power. Explaining that requires a study like this, but once it is understood, how then do you refer to them as a unit?

The word we use is "Trinity."

Good Question.

BTW, saying that "rapture" is not found in the Bible is only partly true. While it does not appear in any version of the Bible in English, the word originates in the Latin translation of the Bible called the Vulgate (for those Bible nerds who want to know).

It doesn't necessarily have to be.
But it's not a Bible Christian doctrine anyway.
I think it's 31 scriptures either misapplied or wording changed to support the Trinity doctrine that Constantine pushed and was voted on in the year 325
We know about the word changing because God preserved the older records for us to compare to.
We know about the misapplications because they make the Bible contradict itself. The Bible does not contradict itself, except by wrong interpretations.
Hope this answer helps.

Because it is a pagan teaching. They believe it that in all the false curltures probably started by Satan who wanted to be equal to god.
The almighty God Creator of us all. started
making spirit creatures like himself. He was always here.
The first spirit creature he ever made was Jesus Christ by means of him all other things were created in the universe.
Colossians 1: 1-5
all the other spirit creatures, the heavens and everything.
there was no third anything! Holy spirit is a power that can be poured out. Like on the 120 desciples

because the Trinity doesn't exist. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are 3 different super beings.

the trinity is a term used by man to describe in brief a concept that is supported by numerous passages, but that would take too long to describe if we were required to used more than that one word.

It was coined by later theologians to describe a concept presented in the Bible.

maybe because the writers of the different letters and books didn't speak English. For goodness sake you are straining at a gnat!
