The Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

Does the bible teach the trinity? Absolutely not.
‘But isn’t Jesus called a god in the Bible?’ someone may ask. This is true. Yet Satan is also called a god. (2 Corinthians 4:4) At John 1:1, which refers to Jesus as “the Word,” some Bible translations say: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” But notice, verse 2 says that the Word was “in the beginning with God.” And while men have seen Jesus, verse 18 says that “no man hath seen God at any time.” (Authorized or King James Version) So we find that some translations of verse 1 give the correct idea of the original language when they read: “The Word was with God, and the Word was divine,” or was “a god,” that is, the Word was a powerful godlike one. (An American Translation) Clearly, Jesus is not Almighty God. In fact, Jesus spoke of his Father as “my God” and as “the only true God.”
Did Jesus ever say that he was God? No, he never did. Rather, in the Bible he is called “God’s Son.” And he said: “The Father is greater than I am.” Also, Jesus explained that there were some things that neither he nor the angels knew but that only God knew. (Mark 13:32) Further, on one occasion Jesus prayed to God, saying: “Let, not my will, but yours take place.” (Luke 22:42) If Jesus were the Almighty God, he would not have prayed to himself, would he? In fact, following Jesus’ death, the Scripture says: “This Jesus God resurrected.” (Acts 2:32) Thus the Almighty God and Jesus are clearly two separate persons. Even after his death and resurrection and ascension to heaven, Jesus was still not equal to his Father.
As for the “Holy Spirit,” the so-called third Person of the Trinity, this is not a person but God’s active force. John the Baptizer said that Jesus would baptize with holy spirit, even as John had been baptizing with water. Hence, in the same way that water is not a person, holy spirit is not a person. (Matthew 3:11) What John foretold was fulfilled when, following the death and resurrection of Jesus, holy spirit was poured out on his followers gathered in Jerusalem. The Bible says: “They all became filled with holy spirit.” (Acts 2:4) Were they “filled” with a person? No, but they were filled with God’s active force. Thus the facts make clear that the Trinity is not a Bible teaching. Actually, long before Jesus walked the earth gods were worshiped in groups of three, or trinities, in places such as ancient Egypt and Babylon.does the bible teach the trinity?

Esoteric creation metaphors generally bypass like this. First there became the singularity it truly is all it truly is wakeful and in no way that cut as a lot as become both and then reproduced to become the three and from the three all issues the position made. The trinity at a distinct aspect. The Trinity is a artifical doctrine that has NO scriptural foundation. It also violates ideal right here verses - Deut. 4:2, 12:32, Prov. 30:6 & Eccl. 3:14.

Nothing.
Here, If the Trinity God doctrine were really taught by our Lord Jesus Christ and the apostles, it wouldnt have taken two councils (council of Nicaea and Council of Constantinople) and it took many years to formulate this Trinity doctrine.
Most scholars realize that the Trinity is a Doctrine of Tradition of men and that is why many who defend the Trinity Theory quote the teachings and philosophies of men like Plato, Ignatius, Polycarp, Iranaeus, Justin, Theophilus, Athenagoras, Clement, Tertullian, Cyprian and The Pope which has brought much controversy and confusion to the world.
This is how to recognize the Spirit of Errors, Every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus as the "Son of God" is not from God.
What about acknowledge Jesus as the "God the Son?" Do you get the picture that God does not want His Word twisted? Satan always goes the other way.
These Satan's counterfeit Jesus, "God the Son" is "not" the same biblical meaning as the Son of God.
The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirit then the Holy Spirit is rejected and replaced by another spirit. Now, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
Why does satan offer alternatives to the Bible? Satan is really going the other way because he is the master of counterfeiters and very crafty.
Short History
Constantine the Great! About 274-337 A.D. , Roman emperor 306-37, the first Roman ruler to proclaim conversion to Christianity.
Constantine the Great was the founder of Constantinople the present-day Istanbul.
Constantine and the Council of Nicaea, This man was one of many murderers who took seat at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. .
These Council of Nicaea men were on the Emperor's pay-roll and dared not disagree with him for fear of losing their heads.
Constantine murdered his own wife and son and had many real one God Christians killed and forced this Trinity doctrine on the entire Empire.

The bible does not use the word Trinity. But man uses it as a discripitive word. I john 5:7, Matthew 28:19, John 14:23-26. One God in three persons. To answer the person a few above me . Exodus 20:3 says " Thou shall have no other (gods) befor me" not Gods. See the differance?

No. It was the Ecumenical Councils of the Church that established the doctrine of trinity.
Dr. Adel Elsaie writes in his book, "History of Truth, The Truth about God and Religion":
The first council provided the duality of God, while the second Ecumenical council extended the duality to the trinity. The emperor Theodosius I (347-395), who was appreciated when he made the Christian doctrine as the state religion, convened the second council at Constantinople...In this council, the dogma of the trinity of the Father, Son, and the Holy Ghost was introduced and agreed upon as the church doctrine. Theodosius instructed the recognition of the "Nicene Creed," and the Council extended the worshipping to the Holy Ghost beside the Father and the Son. Also, the council declared the Holy Ghost to be made of the same substance of God. Today the church still feeds on this dogma of trinity that was added under Theodosius the Great.

Instead of asking others to be humble enough to change their beliefs... Why not be humble enough to accept the fact that they believe what they've been taught?
"The doctrine of the Trinity is the result of continuous exploration by the church of the biblical data, thrashed out in debate and treatises, eventually formulated at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 AD". You would think after 2,000 years of arguing, you could call it a stalemate.

Godhead, trinity, same difference. Mormon, Catholic, same difference.
I know the theology of the Godhead. Trust me, it's very similar to the trinity.
