Answer 1

The trinity is polytheism; TRUE Christianity is NOT!

Catholic theologians invented the trinity. The trinity became fully formed in the 4th century. As A Catholic Dictionary notes: “The third Person was asserted at a Council of Alexandria in 362 . . . and finally by the Council of Constantinople of 381.”

True Christians reject the trinity. Ask a trinity believer to show you the terms "God the Son" or "God the holy spirit" in the Bible. They can't because those terms are not there.

Answer 2

Interesting question. I'm not religious, but do pray to God. I've always found the Holy trinity thing a bit gay and complicated. I think the whole catholic Mary cult fulfills peoples need for a goddess of some kind. The Jesus cult extends the Jewish monotheism to non-jews but with Jesus thrown into the package. It is thought that Jews originate from a sect of Egyptians who became monotheist and then the believers were expelled from Egypt. The Pharaoh Akenhaten was actually Moses. The Holy trinity was originally a pagan concept later adopted by Egyptians and later still Christians.

Answer 3

A true believer believes only the Word of God without adding or taking away from it.

As for the trinity doctrine, it is a doctrine of men and is not supported in the Word of God. Those who attempt to associate it with scripture add or take away parts of scripture to support their defense.

Yet, one verse alone debunks the trinity doctrine.

God is not a God of confusion. He would not say he begat his Son, when it was him all along. He would have told us plainly it was him.

The Father begat the Son a life unto himself (John 5:26). The Son is of the Father, but is not the Father. The Father works through the Son to accomplish his will. For the Son is the expression of the Father. He does only the will of the Father by the expressed movement of his Holy Ghost.

Yet, if I put my hand in a glove, it is my hand within that glove that causes the glove to move according to my will. The same is the way of the Father and the Son.

Proof that the Father and the Son are not one in the same is how the Father moved his spirit from the Son when he became the sin of the world. And another thing, the Father would not, could not be put in hell.

Yet, the Son and the Father are one in the same in will. For the Son is the perfect will of the Father. His only will is to that which is the will of Almighty God.

Answer 4

Jesus said, "Before Abraham was, I am."
In Isaiah, He was prophesied as, "Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
When Jesus was ascending to heaven, He said, "I am with you always"

God is 3, yet One. There are other scriptures which show that God is also in 3 persons. Jesus Himself said so in my first example. The prophet Isaiah prophesying about the Messiah called Him God, in my second example. The 3rd example shows how He is also the Holy Spirit, as He had also said earlier that He would leave the Comforter with the disciples.

The word "begotten" means the "original" Son of God.

No one "invented" the trinity. It was simply revealed by what scripture already shows clearly about God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.

Answer 5

We believe in monotheism, yes. You see, the Trinity lists God's three forms; The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. But God is one and the same in all three forms. To James R., Moses isn't the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is another form of God.

Answer 6

The Trinity has been there since the beginning. As you can read in the book of Genesis, it says that God said "Let us make man in our image."

Who do you think he was talking about when he said "our"?

Answer 7

The first century Christians referred to Jesus as “Lord” and in doing so acknowledged the deepest mystery of our faith but it was central as the confession of the incarnation of God in Jesus Christ. At the same time it was difficult to put into words or express with human understanding what was impressed upon the human spirit by the Spirit which was the intuitive knowledge that Jesus is God in the flesh. Theologians were perplexed for more than two centuries on how to place into proper context on even the most rudimentary parameters of this confession of the Church. The difficulty arose because they did not want to compromise either the deity or the humanity of Jesus. The Scriptural witness did not allow the early Church to consider Christ anything less than true God, or anything less that true man. The difficulty in understanding and explaining knowledge derived of the Spirit is that the mystery that defies explanation in a way that one can reasonably understand with their human intellect often reduces it to mere sophistry or logical contradiction. Like so many things of faith it is easier to dismiss understanding of the Spirit for human reason as if there must be some merger of intellect and faith for veracity. As the Scriptures suggest, in matters of faith we must accept with a childlike innocence and reason.

It is interesting to note that the first heresy facing the early Church was not defending His deity but His humanity. St. Tertullian said, “The human blood of our Lord was still smoking on the hills of Judea when there were some among us who said, He is not human.” As time went on it was also necessary to defend the divinity of Jesus against heresies because the Church realized that if the concept of Jesus’ humanity is removed, we do not have divinity left but instead we have nothing. The Christology of the early Church tells us that if we remove the deity of Christ, we do not have humanity left, instead we have nothing left. Therefore, the early Church was uncompromising on accepting any concept that departed from Jesus being fully man and fully God. The Council of Chalcedon in 451AD stated the following: that the distinction of natures is ”in no way annulled by the union, but rather the characteristics of each nature (is) preserved …coming together to form one person and subsistence (hypostasis) not as parted or separated into two persons, but one and the same Son and only begotten God the Word, Lord Jesus Christ.” Between the years 325AD (Nicaea) to 451AD (Chalcedon), the Church after four Ecumenical Councils had settled on four matters of doctrine in regards to the understanding of the person of Christ: His full deity, His full humanity, His unity in person, and the distinction of His two natures. May the Lord continue to bless you so abundantly.
