The Trinity Doctrine

First lets define what is Trinity. According to Catholic Encyclopedia (Trinity), in the words of the Athanasian Creed: "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God." "the Persons are co-eternal and co-equal: all alike are uncreated and omnipotent."

Majority of Christian denominations such as the movements of Catholics, Protestant and Eastern believe in Trinity. It is also the most fundamental teaching of most Christian Religion. The trinity doctrine teaches that each is said to be without beginning, having existed for eternity. What is truth about Trinity? Will you accept the real truth about readjustment needed? Before you answer this question, I would like to invite you to read the whole article.

When a friend named Peter asked me about the meaning of trinity, he is shocked about the meaning and add confusion on who should he worship, he worship Jesus and he don't know anything about Jehovah (or Yahweh). When I explain to him and study the bible, he was so happy to know who is God. Trinity doctrine helps Christian Religion to worship Jesus than Jehovah (or Yahweh), where they believe that Jehovah and Jesus Christ is only one, so therefore worshiping Jesus is like worshiping Jehovah.  The Catholic Encyclopedia (Jehovah) accepts that Jehovah or Yahweh is the name of God and approximately "found in the Old Testament 6000 times" in the original manuscript. You can Google-it to check the oldest and original bible manuscript where יהוה (or YHWH) are written for almost 7000 times. Catholic accepts that it was replaced with the name "Lord" or "God" in most translation. The trinity doctrine develop as far back as Babylonia, the worship of pagan gods grouped in threes, or triads, was common. And after the death of the apostles, such pagan beliefs began to invade Christianity.

Don't just believe on what I say, you need to prove it yourself, you might Google it to open an Online Bible or if you have one in your own language, it is much better. Now let us examine bible verses that helps you to decide and understand the trinity doctrine all about, if it is a biblical teaching or not to believe on it.

Jesus accepted that “The Father is greater than I am” (John 14:28) - Jesus never think that he is equal to his father. He also never ask to worship him, Jesus also worship his father. But we need to follow and have faith with Jesus Christ as the head and Leader of Congregation.

Also Paul stated: “I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God.” (1 Corinthians 11:3) - Christ respect his father as his head, he gives authority to his father.

When Jesus gave his prophecy about the end of this system of things, he stated: "But of that day or that hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32, RS, Catholic edition) - The end of system of things is only known by Jehovah. Jesus Had limited knowledge.

"Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is the one, the only Yahweh." - Deuteronomy 6:4. New Jerusalem Bible (NJB).  The Bible verse clearly stated that it is not in plural form. Where The father is only one.

"This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ." -  John 17:3. The bible verse stated that God sent Jesus Christ. Therefore someone sent Jesus Christ and he didn't sent himself alone.

Jesus was known as "the first-born of all creation." (Colossians 1:15, NJB) - Having been created by God, Jesus is in a secondary position in time, power, and knowledge. If the bible teaches that God has no beginning or ending, (http://www.daycody.com/how-did-god-started/), how did Jesus created himself if he is Jehovah.

Satan said: "All these things I will give you if you fall down and do an act of worship to me." (Matthew 4:8, 9) Satan was trying to cause Jesus to be disloyal to God. Could Jesus rebel against himself if he is Jehovah? Is Jesus worshiping his own?

"only-begotten Son" of God. (John 1:14; 3:16, 18;1 John 4:9) - The Bible calls Jesus the Son of God. Is it right to call Mary as the "Mother of God" or "Mother of Jehovah"?

The disciples viewed Jesus as the "one mediator between God and men," not as God himself. (1 Timothy 2:5) The definition a mediator is someone separate from those who need mediation. How can someone be a Mediator of himself and to others?

Jesus further showed that he was a separate being from God by saying: "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." (Mark 10:18, JB) - He always give glory to his father and not to himself.

If Jesus was God, then Habakkuk 1:12 is wrong when it says: "O my God, my Holy One, you do not die." If Jesus is Jehovah, why did Jesus died, and before Jesus died and living in earth, why he pray for his father many times. Is Jesus praying to himself?

The list of text above is just a small part of the holy book and doesn't talk about the Holy Ghost. You can answer those question if you take it seriously. If you need more information, don't hesitate to ask. So what can you say about Text of Trinity such as follow: And Matthew 28:19 reads: "Go, therefore, make disciples of all nations; baptise them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." - It is just listing of persons such as Tom, Dick, and Harry. So it means that they are three in one? Another one is "I and the Father Are One" - John 10:30, The verse is saying that Jesus was  united in thought and purpose, as he and God were.

Jehovah God alone is Almighty. He created the prehuman Jesus directly. Thus, Jesus had a beginning and could never be coequal with God in power or eternity. Not one scripture anywhere in the Bible says that all three are the same in substance, power, and eternity. The Bible is consistent in revealing Almighty God, Jehovah, as alone Supreme, Jesus as his created Son, and the holy spirit as God's active force.

So, do you still believe in trinity? If still yes, Do you still believe in the bible or you are believing worldly teachings you just heard? I cannot do anything more if you really don't believe. But if you need more information I could help you to fully understand. If it is important for you to get to know the truth about God, then you would agree to know the truth that will set you free, then you can readjust your belief because it is important to readjust once something is proven wrong. You must obey God rather than man, if you really love God, you will readjust, but if you obey man, you are shy to change what you believe, and it is your own decision. It may be hard to accept since it may be the basis of all your belief, but knowing the truth about God will please him and avoiding mistakes on his real identity. You might not agree, but can you just give it a chance to prove it yourself? Study the bible and don't just listen on what other's say, or belief that maybe came from parents since birth. Remember that "God is not a God of confusion."—1 Corinthians 14:33, Revised Standard Version(RS). It maybe hard for you to accept the reality because you have your own belief or religion. And most of your friends or relatives believe in Trinity. But have you ever as yourself that as a Christian we must "preach" the "truth". You might start in your own self. Remembering one of my subject in Business Administration, under a topic of Church Management, beside of good marketing strategy, leaders need extraordinary personality and effort to impress members and for further recruitment even without teaching the fundamental doctrines outside the church. Upon observation, Christian denominated religion members, doesn't really care on what are the doctrines of there religion or some even really don't know what are the fundamental doctrines of. They belong to a religion because of their family members or by people, financial support, endorsed by government officials or notable popular persons, entertainments, benefits, sentimental values or personal debts and other related activities. This is the reason why, person are loyal being a part of a religion even they don't know the doctrines of it.

So, take your stand in true teachings and worship. Good works can be rejected because as Jesus told us that “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will.” (Matthew 7:21-23) - Only those doing the will of his father will be saved. It is wise and essential to change your belief if something is proven wrong. If a simple trinity doctrine blocks you from knowing the truth about God and his purpose, you need to move on and search for the truth. You might be losing something, but I am sure you will gain more including the real acceptance and blessings from God, your prayers will be heard, answered and directed. There's a lot of information about this matter, if you have more question about Trinity and some information not written above, I would be happy to help you to know What does the bible really teach at your convenience place and time without obligations. I know it might be hard, but I am here to help.
