There is no such thing as the trinity, this is something Satan uses to keep you from knowing who the True God really is.

‘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.

THE TRINITY CONCEPT IS DECEPTION AND GOD AND JESUS IS ONE ONLY IN THE WAY THEY THINK, THE PLAN FOR MANKIND. IT IS GOD THE FATHER AND JESUS THE SON. GOD IS A FAMILY AND IS REPRODUCING HISSELF WITH THOSE WHO KEEP HIS LAWS.
It may first be noted that the words “in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one” (KJ) found in older translations at 1 John 5:7 are actually spurious additions to the original text. A footnote in The Jerusalem Bible, a Catholic translation, says that these words are “not in any of the early Greek MSS [manuscripts], or any of the early translations, or in the best MSS of the Vulg[ate] itself.” A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, by Bruce Metzger (1975, pp. 716-718), traces in detail the history of the spurious passage. It states that the passage is first found in a treatise entitled Liber Apologeticus, of the fourth century, and that it appears in Old Latin and Vulgate manuscripts of the Scriptures, beginning in the sixth century. Modern translations as a whole, both Catholic and Protestant, do not include them in the main body of the text, because of recognizing their spurious nature.—RS, NE, NAB.

Other evidence of its impersonal nature. Further evidence against the idea of personality as regards the holy spirit is the way it is used in association with other impersonal things, such as water and fire (Mt 3:11; Mr 1:8); and Christians are spoken of as being baptized “in holy spirit.” (Ac 1:5; 11:16) Persons are urged to become “filled with spirit” instead of with wine. (Eph 5:18) So, too, persons are spoken of as being ‘filled’ with it along with such qualities as wisdom and faith (Ac 6:3, 5; 11:24) or joy (Ac 13:52); and holy spirit is inserted, or sandwiched in, with a number of such qualities at 2 Corinthians 6:6. It is most unlikely that such expressions would be made if the holy spirit were a divine person. As to the spirit’s ‘bearing witness’ (Ac 5:32; 20:23), it may be noted that the same thing is said of the water and the blood at 1 John 5:6-8. While some texts refer to the spirit as ‘witnessing,’ ‘speaking,’ or ‘saying’ things, other texts make clear that it spoke through persons, having no personal voice of its own. (Compare Heb 3:7; 10:15-17; Ps 95:7; Jer 31:33, 34; Ac 19:2-6; 21:4; 28:25.)

He is not separate...from God...He was manifested in his time apart for a time but in the end the bible says that Jesus will give back his authority to the Father....1 Corinthians 15:28
And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all....But to simply understand the image of God which is...He is One God but 3 parts...you say how can we be the image of God like the bible says ....well if you look in a mirror...you but one man ...but it takes 3 to make you as a man..or woman...body..soul and spirit...3...in one body...that is the image of God in us...

When Jesus came He came in the form of this sinful flesh...yet without sin...but he was subject to the weaknesses...and the limitations of the flesh...unlike God the Father ...who is not limited He has no bounderies..or limitations...

and yet He was God ..while in the flesh.. John 1:1
1 John 5:7...

Jesus is eternally begotten of the Father, so the Father is the "source" of Jesus, just as both Jesus and the Father are the "source" of the Holy Spirit, who proceeds from them.

All three divine persons consist of the same godly "essence" and they always act together in perfect unity.

Jesus is human, if that's what you mean.
GOD is not human.
Jesus has a set difference as a son does to his father. But in power and scope of purpose, no they are the same.
(well, as far as I, a human can understand.)
Jesus is left handed, while GOD is ambidextrous. (I'll regret saying that, in the morning.Can you tell it's late?)

Yes. Jesus came to earth in a physical form. Jesus main objective was to redeem, make sacrifice, die to take away the sins of mankind. To do this (die) He had to come in a physical form. Jesus didn't stay in a tangible, person, physical, form when He rose from the dead and ascended back to Heaven.

Trinity means three in one. So though we can't really compare it to anything else... The three persons of the Trinity are all individuals and one person at the same time

2007-01-18 23:46:13 · answer #8 · answered by Caleb 2 · 2 1

my opinion,,the Trinity is always hard to try and figure out,

Jesus isnt apart from the father,i think the words begotten not made is very important,The word made flesh.
In unity with the Holy Spirit.
When you honour one you do honour to the others.

Its like the shamrock,

probably doesnt help,but......

Jesus is the link between man and God. But he is God as well.
