What Bible texts would you use to refute the teaching of the Trinity?

Question

The apostle Paul warned his fellow worker Timothy to beware of the teachings of apostates, such as Hymenaeus and Philetus, whose “word will spread like gangrene.”

Edge, you on the Wrong Flight...
“Nowhere in the New Testament does the word ‘Trinity’ appear. The idea was only adopted by the Church three hundred years after the death of our Lord; and the origin of the conception is entirely pagan.” (The Paganism in Our Christianity, by Arthur Weigall) The same can be said for the doctrine of the immortal soul, the widespread use of images, the popularity of astrology and many other familiar teachings and practices of Christendom. They can be traced not to the original worship of the true Source of life but to that ancient religious rebellion in Mesopotamia

Answer 1

Luke 22 v 42
"Father, if it is your will, take this cup away from me, nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done"

John 13 v 16
"most assuredly, I say unto you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is he who is sent greater than he who sent him."

John 14 v 28
"............for the Father is greater than I."

John 7 v 16
"My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me"

Mathew 27 v 46
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying "Eli,Eli, lama sabachthani?" that is "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

Encyclopedia Britannica : "the council of nicea met on may 20, 325 A.D. Constantine presiding, actively guiding the discussion and personally proposed the idea of "one substance with the Father".

2 Timothy 4 v 3,4.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, and they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables.

Answer 2

That would be plain stupid. Like Edge says, why would you want to refute the truth?

The Word Trinity does not appear anywhere in the bible, but the triune character of God is all over the Bible. Where do you see Jehovah?

The Bible strongly affirms the unity of God ( Deut 6:4 ). The Bible clearly affirms the full deity of the 3 persons of the Godhead: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

You need to recognise that the term p e r s o n does not mean a distinction in essence but different s u b s i s t e n c e in the Godhead. A subsistence in the God head is a r e a l difference in being. Each person subsists or exists " under " the pure scope of being, not a separate being or essence. All persons in the Godhead have all the attributes of deity.

Answer 3

Isaiah 9:6 Collosians 2: 8-10 St. John 14: 8 and 9

Answer 4

Why did you ask the question, you know the answer. there is no were in the bible, you can find any thing about the trinity.
they get mixed up about the Holy Ghost( God's Spirit). God sent His spirit out to do the work He wants it to do..The spirit does not have a mind of its own, Its not an entity.
Another thing people don't understand is John 1:1; They don't believe that there was two, they thank the Word and God in one, The Word and God was in unison; two in one.
God created every thing through the word; with out Him nothing was created.
These verses in John 1, are talking about The Word, and Jesus Christ.
In the beginning there was two(God and the Word), and there is two now( God and the Son of God, Jesus Christ); these two are one in unison. God speaks and it is done, When Jesus was here on earth, God was speaking through His, it was God's spirit that was doing every thing, the will of God was with Jesus Christ. Good gave Him the power.

Answer 5

Gen 1:26 - And God went on to say: “Let us make man in our image, according to our likeness..."

John 1:18- No man has seen God at any time; .....

Matthew 3:17- Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.”

About Jesus Colossian 1:15 says- He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation;


there are so many more

Answer 6

The word "Trinity" is simply a word used to describe the scriptures revelation of God Almighty to humankind. In the first three chapters of the book of Genesis we hear God revealing Himself as "Us" "We" and also describing the Holy spirit hovering over the waters. John 1:1 expounds on this further. You are right, the word Trinity does not appear in the scriptures, but neither do the words, China or Russia, yet when we hear Gog and Magog, we can correctly define their origins. The Hebrew text for "God" is used in the plural sense, not in the single sense, making it very easy to understand the intent of the writers. I suggest you study the Hebrew and Greek texts and see for yourself.

Answer 7

1 John.5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one

Show that that verse is false and added so if they could add that verse they could change another (they did it)

first John 3:16 proving that he was already a son of God when he came , he didn´t become son after mary´s birth

Proving that God has more sons (Genesis 6:1 , Job 1:6 and 2:1 also 38:4-7)

showing Psalms 82:1 that says that God almighty is among other gods and not false cause God almighty wouldn´t be among evil gods.

also showing how the bible call gods to all the sons of God almighty in Psalm 82:6.

So angels are sons of God almighty and gods.

So Jesus could be an angel, which one?

the first according to Colossians 1:15-17

also will use 1 thessal 4:16 asking ehy his voice is the voice of Archangel.

also why he was among the angels when God talked to him (If his is God almighty then why talk to himself?) in Hebrew 1:5

also Revelation 10:1-3 how the bible says that a powerful angel that match in all details with Jesus.

In spanish some protestant bible in Malachi 3:1-3 says that God will send an angel of covenant , who is that angel if is not the one of John 3:16 THEN WHO IS IT?

Wow is so large I still have more than 200 verse, Jesus is a god but not Jehovah the almighty.

Answer 8

Do you mean Bible scriptures? The bible is a text.

John 14:2 >>

"In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you.

Stop clinging to me; for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren (disciples), and say to them, 'I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.' (John 20: 17).

John 8: 28:
"and, I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught me."

Answer 9

The question should be, "What Bible texts would you use to SUPPORT the teaching of the Trinty?"

In fact there are few,if any. Jesus prayed to God--not to himself. When the Rich Young Ruler called Jesus "good," Jesus rebuked him saying, "There is none good but God." Jesus obviously saw himself as someone distinct and different from God.

When Jesus prayed in the Garden before his arrest, he said to God, "Not my will be done, but thine." There were two different wills be referred to here. Jesus obviously saw HIS will as being different from Gods, because he did not see himself as God.

Finally on the cross, Jesus exclaimed, "My God! My God! Why hast thou forsaken me?" If Jesus was God, why would he say such a thing? Obviously he saw himself as a man--not as a God.

Add to this that Jesus saw himself as the Jewish Messiah. No where in pre-Christian Jewish messianic traditions was there ever a notion that the Messiah would be God Himself incarnated as a man.

The Trinity owes more to Platonic philosophy and early Gentile attempts to promote monotheism over polytheism. The Trinity has no roots whatsoever in the Jewish religion and culture of eithe Jesus's day or Paul's.
