Excellent. The trinity is a concept that has never been difficult to understand for me. And, I see it all over the Bible. Most people error in thinking it needs to be a teaching in the Bible to be something we should believe in. The doctrine of the Trinity is simply an explanation of the revelation of the Being and relationship between God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit which most definitely is expressed in the Bible.
However, belief in the Trinity doctrine is not a salvation requirement.
@@VAIO294 That's because it is not taught or revealed in Scripture.
@@gimel77 That's right. It's not. - In GOD’S reality, *Trinitarians and NON-Trinitarians WILL BOTH BE SAVED,* *cleansed of their sins* by the sin-atoning *blood* of Jesus, *IF* they both have repented of their sins and have their faith anchored in Jesus Christ, trusting JESUS to save them based on what He did for us at the cross when He died and paid for our sins.
@@VAIO294 it most certainly is a salvation issue. If Jesus isn’t the second person of the Godhead, we are all without Hope. Only God in flesh could make a propitiation for us.
@@twelve5church- *(Part 1)* - If Jesus was just *an ordinary human,* "we are all without Hope." Yes, I agree. - But I'm *not* saying Jesus is just an ordinary human. - I'm saying, that nowhere in the Bible is a confession of faith in the Trinity doctrine said to be a salvation requirement. -- Even when Jesus asked His disciples WHO they believed He is, Peter gave a simple non-trinitarian answer, as we see in the verses below:
-->Matthew 16:15-17 ~ _“He (Jesus) said to them, _*_‘But who do you say that I am?*’ Simon Peter answered, *‘You are THE CHRIST, the Son of the living God.’_*_ And Jesus said to him, _*_‘BLESSED are you, Simon Barjona,_*_ because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.’”_
Wait, near 11:10 he is saying that Christians "can't have fellowship with" other Christians who aren't Trinitarians? This is one of the most unbiblical, divisive ways of handling disagreements among believers I've ever heard spoken by a prominent Christian. It's unbiblical because the Bible specifically tells us to NOT act like that way when handling disagreements among believers. It says to do so with love, tolerance, and *understanding of the differing views*
Now, how are we supposed to obtain an understanding of the differing views if even just fellowship isn't allowed with fellow Christians who don't believe exactly as you do for every single issue like this?
Or does he genuinely believe that Trinitarianism is a salvation issue? If so, I would question if he's understanding a word written in the Bible to be honest.
Jesus did say this -"I told you that you would die in your sins, for unless you believe that I am he you will die in your sins.” I believe the "he' there is added, so the idea is Jesus is referencing the I AM who spoke to Moses. So in that way, it might be a salvific issue, though I get your points, we certainly need to flip the doctrine pyramid like the food pyramid with love being at the top, however, love must me tied to scripture, so it makes it difficult, but too many Christians just dismiss others way too quickly instead of taking the time to really understand them. Good comment!
@@flamingswordapologetics The verse you're referring to is John 8:24 from the New Testament. Here's the context:
In John 8, Jesus is having a conversation with the Pharisees. He is speaking about his identity and mission. Jesus warns them that they do not know where he is going and that they are not following him. Specifically, John 8:24 says:
"I told you that you would die in your sins; if you do not believe that I am he, you will indeed die in your sins."
In this context, Jesus is emphasizing the necessity of believing in him as the Messiah (the "I am he" refers to his identity as the promised Savior) for salvation. He is addressing the issue of disbelief and its consequences, suggesting that failure to recognize and believe in him as the Messiah will result in remaining in sin and its ultimate consequences.
The broader passage includes Jesus declaring himself as the light of the world and offering spiritual truths and teachings that challenge the existing religious norms and understandings of the time.
So, when the context is included, the "if you don't believe I am he" part is referring to those who do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah / Savior.
@@lightbeforethetunnel Thanks, I see that is possible, but the "he" I'm pretty sure is not in the Greek, and the context of the I AM statements in the same chapter seem to be pointing back to the I AM that sent Moses, which we all identify as Yahweh. If this was the only verse taught alluded to the Divinity of Christ, it would be more difficult, but it seems the Unitarians take a position that is less likely and simply does not fit the context. Yes, they must believe He is the Messiah, but that the Messiah is the I AM from the Old T. That is my conundrum, because I am very open to accepting those who disagree with me as brothers/sisters on many issues.
Yes ,you are Indeed correct. Great answer
1 Peter 4:8 “And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.”
Almost 15 minutes in and he still hasn’t gotten to the message.

Excellent
What one believes is meaningless if is not the truth. The trinity is not the truth. It is a doctrine adapted in 381 AD at the First Council of Constantinople. Jesus is the name of God. When God is seen that is Jesus. Matthew 28:18 Jesus said " All power in heaven and in earth has been given unto Me." Jesus is The Everlasting Father as stated in Isaiah. There is no trinity, just confused people who believe that men can change The Word of God.
Jesus is not God. Jesus is not the Father. Jesus is the son of God, a man. John 8.39-40, Act 2.22, Acts 17.31, etc.
Isaiah 9: 6-7 " For to us a child is given, and the government shall be on His shoulders, And He will becalled , Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, , Prince of Peace." There are several reasons that Jesus condemned the catholic church in Revelation chapter 17. Her daughters are also wrong about Jesus.
STOP calling GOD a MADE UP NAME that is BENEATH HIM AND INSULTING in your puny efforts to "understand" HIM! We are NOT called to "understand" GOD as much as to TRUST GOD...MYSTERIES and all. "I AM THAT I AM"!
Who is Jesus Christ's God? The Bible has many verses in which Jesus Christ is referring to his God.
It seems to me that Jesus Christ (described in the Bible as the begotten son of God), has the same God that saved born-again Christians have.
Here are some historical facts. Trinitarians dominate Christianity so much so that they would have you believe that if you are not a Trinitarian, you are not a Christian. This is not true. Historically, Christianity has not always been controlled by the Trinitarians or their Doctrine. There was no defined Trinitarian doctrine for the first three hundred years of the history of the Christian Church. But to listen to Trinitarians, you would think Christ taught His disciples the Trinity, or at the very least God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the church from the beginning. No such teaching or revelation from God was ever given, nor was the Trinity made essential for believers according to the Bible.
Yet, according to Trinitarians, the doctrine of the Trinity is considered sacred and fundamental, and most Trinitarians view it as the litmus test for defining who is and is not a Christian. Only ignorance would allow such a thing. The audacity of the Trinitarians to threaten one’s very salvation! James White has publicly stated, “We (Trinitarians) hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine… We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully and completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet, no one can understand the Trinity. Scholars have acknowledged this, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind; but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Linsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Handbook of Christian Truth, pp. 51). This Trinitarian Doctrine produces confusion, and this confusion is not from the God of the Bible (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Where did this doctrine of the Trinity come from? “The term ‘Trinity’ is not itself found in the Bible. It was first used by Tertullian at the close of the 2nd century but received wide currency and formal elucidation only after the 4th and 5th centuries” (see “Trinity,” New Bible Dictionary, 1996). “Precisely what that doctrine is, or rather precisely how it is to be explained, Trinitarians are not agreed among themselves” (see “Trinitarians,” A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge).
Biblically, God never revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity, then how did the church come to accept it? From history, we get the answer, “The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and many controversies…It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from Him” (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). Over 3 hundred years after Christ, this doctrine of God being Triune took over the church as essential to our salvation! What of all the believers who accepted Christ before the 4th century, but had no idea that belief in the Trinity was a requirement for their salvation?
Is the demand by Trinitarians that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation a form of legalism? What is legalism? Have not Trinitarians laid down the law that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved? In Christian theology, "legalism" is a pejorative term applied to the idea that "by doing good works or by obeying the law, a person earns and merits salvation." If men, whether by popular belief or by group or clergy, place a prerequisite, a stipulation, or insist upon a certain belief upon one so that they would receive salvation is this not a form of legalism? Only Christ, by the will of the Father, can place prerequisites, stipulations, and beliefs upon one to receive salvation without falling under “legalism.” Therefore, Christ made no requirement that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation, then it follows that the stipulation that one must believe in the Trinity would be a form of legalism caused by Trinitarians. There is no requirement by Christ that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation.
Where did the idea of the Trinity come from since God never revealed the concept of the Trinity? Edward Gibbon, a noted historian, gives this answer, “If paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians…was changed by the Church…into the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity” (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, p. xvi, 1883). The Trinity finds its birth in the West according to Pagan Greek philosophy. Were we not warned about this by the apostle Paul, who wrote, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Rise up in truth all Christians and throw off this heavy yoke of Trinitarian bondage to a false doctrine never revealed by Christ. It is false that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved. Christ is God because His God and Father gave Him all things, and all things are committed to Him. Christ said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27).
@@S.R.M. Thanks for your above post. I just read through it. I was late, but better late than never!
I've noticed a lot of Christians don't seem to realize how absurdly dogmatic and intolerant they are about Trinitarianism. They treat it as though it's a salvation issue when there's no reason why it would be.
@@lightbeforethetunnel Thank you. Jesus is a counterfeit name. (2 Timothy 4:1-22) I charge you in the presence of God and of the Messiah YAHSHUA, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by His appearing and His Kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching. For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths. As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, and fulfill your ministry.”
(2 Corinthians 10:5) “We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ…”
Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words (Hebrew)
Hawah- modernized Hebrew word: havah, means “to be” (Strong’s #1933).
“To exist,” (Strong’s #1934). Part of God’s name YAH-a-wah,
YAHAWAH means “I AM Everpresent,” revealed to Moses.
Hovah- means “Ruin, Mischief, and Calamity,” (Strong’s #1942, #1943).
Part of the name Je-hovah, which means “Ruin, Mischief, and
Calamity.” Jehovah is a concoction of the Hebrew vowels of the Hebrew
word for God, “Eloah” (e-o-a), and these vowels are placed onto the Tetragrammaton YHWH, Anglo-Latinized to JHVH, thus causing the name of JeHoVaH. God never revealed this name: “Jehovah.” The name Jehovah, or Yehovah, is a euphonious name, a counterfeit name, and in the name of God’s Truth must be discarded!
YAH - Means “I AM,” as opposed to Jah, due to the Hebrew having no corresponding letter for ‘J’. Therefore Jah is inconsistent with YAH. Halleluyah means “Praise YAH.”
The following is incorrect: Jah and Iah. The Hebrew letter Yod corresponds to the English letter “Y.” YAH is correct, as in Halleluyah!
Strong's Hebrew: 3050. יָהּ (YAH=I AM) -- the name of the God of Israel:
YAH is “the name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9).
Halleluyah means “Praise YAH!”
“Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).
“Sing to God, sing praises to His name;
Extol Him who rides on the clouds,
By His name Yah, and rejoice before Him” (Psalm 68:4 NKJV).
The Messiah has “the name which is above every name”, which is, “YAH.”
YAHSHUA said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). I AM=YAH.
YAHSHUA means, “I AM Salvation.” “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
To reject the name YAHSHUA, or disbelieve this name, is to be condemned (John 3:18). Unfortunately, there are few who will find the way, the name, of salvation (Matthew 7:13-14).
The priests, pastors, teachers, and evangelists, who preach, and teach, in the counterfeit names of Jehovah, Yehovah, or Jesus, are workers of lawlessness (Matthew 7:21-23; Malachi 2:2).
HAYAH - meaning, “the I AM.” To exist, (Strong’s #1961). God answers
Moses, “[the I AM] HaYAH [Who] Ashar [the I AM] HaYAH”
(Exodus 3:14). God did not say, ‘Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh.’
HAYAH - Has been mistakenly tied to the name Jehovah, the erroneous, euphonious,
name:
For God (see Strong’s # 1962). Therefore the words ruin, and
mischief are false definitions and not related to the definition of
HaYAH, however, Jehovah does mean ruin, mischief, and calamity.
Jehovah - is a Latinization of the HebrewTetragrammaton יהוה (YHWH), this name (Yehovah) is an improper name of the God of Israel and has no place in the Hebrew Scriptures, or any Bible, whether Hebrew, Greek, Latin, or English. The Hebrew letters Yod, Hey, Waw, Hey, (YHWH) the Tetragrammaton יהוה is the name of God in Hebrew and a form of God's name in Christianity with the essential name YAH. YAHAWAH was revealed to Moses and appears in English Bibles as LORD. LORD in all caps is a cover-up for YHWH, a practice by man, and not God. The growing consensus among scholars is that the historical vocalization of the Tetragrammaton at the time of the redaction of the Torah (6th century BCE) is most likely Yahawah. The pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton came to be avoided, being substituted with Adonai ('LORD'). The Hebrew vowel points of Eloah (e-o-a) were added to the Tetragrammaton by Jewish scribes to remind the readers in the synagogues not to attempt to pronounce the name of God but to say, “Adonai,” instead. Thus around the 12th century CE, Roman Catholic clerics, being ignorant of the practice, inaccurately transliterated the Tetragrammaton with these added vowels from another word causing the hybrid name Iehovah. Thus, the derived forms Iehouah, and Iehovah, first appeared in the 12th century. In the 17th century, the name of Jehovah became known, and today has been modified, in some circles, to Yehovah (see Strong’s #3068).
Yehovih - (see Strong’s #3069) This is the Tetragrammaton יהוה
With the vowels of Elohim (e-o-i), which caused Yehovih.
From: Word + Vowels = Modified name for God
Adonai + a-o-ai = YaHoWaiH shortened to YAHWEH.
Elohim + e-o-i = Yehovih (appears in the Hebrew Scriptures 305x)
Eloah + e-o-a = Yehovah (appears in the Hebrew Scriptures over 2,000X)
Scholars know that the name Jehovah is considered historically inaccurate as it emerged from combining the Hebrew consonants YHWH and the vowels (e-o-a) of the word Eloah to make the name YeHoVaH. The hybrid name, therefore, does not reflect the divine name as it was used in ancient times or its pronunciation. This presents linguistic differences as The name Jehovah fails to follow the rules of the Hebrew language, which does not have the letter “j.” Therefore, combining “J” and “jeh” to form a word cannot be found in Hebrew, where the divine name originates. YAH is part of the beginning of God’s original name, hence Halleluyah, Praise YAH.
Jah, Jeh, Ieh, and Yeh are inconsistencies. Stop using concocted, hybrid, counterfeit names for the LORD!
(1 Timothy 2:5) For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus,
The last I checked, a Mediator cannot be part of either party he mediates BETWEEN.
Thus, neither could Jesus be God nor the chosen ones among humans.
Jesus' words to show that he was never God.
(John 8:40) But now you are seeking to kill me, A MAN who has told you the truth that I HEARD FROM GOD.
Then again, what would Jesus know about himself. These video charlatans seem to know better.
@Grey : Where did Jesus ever call himself any 'I am'?
The Greek is 'ego eimi'. Tons of people used it. It is just a state of being.
The discussion was about Jesus' AGE and not his name.
(John 8:57) Then the Jews said to him: “You are not yet 50 years old, and still you have seen Abraham?”
(John 8:58) Jesus said to them: “Most truly I say to you, before Abraham came into existence, I have been.” (or I existed).
(John 8:59) So they picked up stones to throw at him, but Jesus hid and went out of the temple.
Are we to believe that Almighty God who created this energy blasting Universe ran and hid from the Jews????? Come come! Surely!. How about a bit of rational thinking.
If someone is a Mediator BETWEEN two parties, he cannot be connected to either party. A Mediator should be a NEUTRAL.
Check a dictionary.
Jesus cannot be a Mediator between HIMSELF (as God) and HIMSELF (as a man). How would that make any sense?
1 Timothy 2:5 clearly states BETWEEN and that Jesus was a MAN.
If someone is BETWEEN two others, what does it mean?
@@tongakhan230 before Abraham was I am, meaning he was around before Abraham, because he is God

John 8:23 'Jesus' went on to say to them: “You are from the realms below; I am from the realms above. You are from this world; I am not from this world.
The Trinity belongs to Supernatural (revealed) religion, it is therefore a revealed teaching. We can know a truths that can lead is closer to knowing a truth of the mystery through natural religion but it still is, in a sense from Supernatural religion
_”O people of the Scripture! Do not transgress in your beliefs, nor speak about God but the truth! The Messiah Jesus son of Mary is only God’s messenger, and His Word which He cast into Mary, and a spirit from Him! So believe in God and His messengers, and do not speak of ‘three’ (a trinity); Stop-it is for your own good! God is one sole divinity, who is far above having a son! He owns everything in the heavens and everything on earth. And God is enough to sustain all things on His own!”_ ~ The Qur’an 4:171
Your trinity is only found in Revelations 16:13. All apostles baptized in the Name of Jesus. Acts 2:38; Acts 4:12; Acts 10; Acts 19:1-5; Romans 6:3-4. Nobody in the New Testament was EVER baptized in your false titles. Nobody. Further, if you do some research, we do find ONENESS in Ephesians chapter 4. Strongs Reference will refute this false doctrine of trinity (yes, lower caps).
Isaiah 6:8 in the Septuagint is in the SINGULAR. There is no plural. Same word is used in Gn 3:22.
Dr. James White offers "The three foundations," which are presuppositions.
There are other alternatives
The Biblical Foundation of The Centrality of Christ as God.
Foundation One: Monolatrism "God is the God of gods..." (Deuteronomy 10:17).
Foundation Two: All things have been given to the Son of God from His God and Father. And He alone is our Rock (Isaiah 44:6-8; 1 Corinthians 10:1-4).
Foundation Three: "You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’
for My Father is greater than I" (John 14:28).

Coming from someone who's ignorant
Amen
The Trinity is simple. The scriptures have to be twisted, taken out of context, word matching used to convince people.

@tongakhan230 is only a fool will pick up a sentence in a book and decide to establish doctrine while the beginning of that book has already told you whom that person really is.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome[a] it.

Trinity is false doctrine/philosophy. How can you say Jesus is fully God and fully man, but claim that he's not the father?? That would make Jesus partially God.
@@Mike34006 you're using your human intellect to try to understand.... You are a finite being trying to understand an infinite God with your finite. Intellect.....

It's not even that complicated you have a soul and a body.....
You are one person with three essence..... One body One soul and one spirit......
God is different from anyone and therefore he is three persons in one essence which make up one God and make him different and set apart from any other being
John : 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

The Authority of the Son
Joh 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do:
for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Joh 5:20 For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel.
Joh 5:21 For as the Father raiseth up the dead, and quickeneth them; even so the Son quickeneth whom he will.
Joh 5:22 For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son:
Philippians 2: 5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things he might have the preeminence. For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross,
by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.

1 Corinthians 14:33 God is not confusing , but the trinity is . With each person there is something different to remember . So I Looked into it myself , so here's what I found , without all those fancy degrees . I believe God is the Father , he created us , me anyway , Jesus the Son is God man in flesh , and I believe in the Holy Spirit , the presence , and power of God . If they were 3 persons , when you get to heaven you would see 3 bodies . No they have 3 roles that are necessary for our salvation , allow me to explain ; only a true human could die for our sins , and could take our place , and shed his blood . So Jesus had to be the Son of God in order to die for our sins , but in order for the Son to be born , no human could do that , God had to be the Father of that baby , born in the womb of a virgin , and salvation is not just because of what happened 2000 years ago , it has to be applied to our lives today . How does that happen ; God comes to us by his Spirit , so God is not eternally 3 persons named Father , Son , and Holy Spirit . But God has operated in our lives as Father , Son , Spirit for the specific purpose of redeeming us ,or saving us from sin . So with that as a background 3 persons but 1 God would be a distortion because it interjects this idea that in the nature of God there is some distinction , or separation , or division , which is not practical for these reasons , who are we praying to we need to know for sure . Are we praying to 1 , or to 3 . When we get to heaven who are we going to see 1 , are we going to see 3 . That makes a difference who our faith is in , and the significance of the name of Jesus . We need to understand because when we pray in the name of Jesus : we expect demons to be cast out , ( Acts 19;13 - 15 ) , and people to be delivered , and healed ( Matthew 9:2 , 22 ; Acts 3:6 ) , and receive the Holy Spirit ( John 20:22 ; Acts 2:4 ) . But if the emphasis is on Father , Son , Holy Spirit then the name of Jesus is not magnified , we don't receive what God wants to give us . So there are a lot of practical reasons why we need to know the answer to this question , and if there is any message in scripture that God is 1 that's stated in ( Deuteronomy 6:4 ) Hear o Israel the Lord your God is 1 Lord ; Jesus repeated it in ( mark 12:29 ) , and if Jesus said it , you have to get it right , we need to talk about it . If I'm going to teach what the Bible teaches , I have to emphasize what the Bible emphasizes .
The trinity isnt a dogma that must be believed in for salvation. Its not necessary or sane to think you have God all figured out and put into a nice little box. Stick with what the scriptures say and dont go further trying to put something beyond your understanding into a simplistic artificial model that is probably incorrect.
This is so wrong its funny he's not 3 persons or people 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I believe its biblically true, but i atruggle with the Father ..just a vagueness to me now...
The trinity can be found in John 17 1-26.
Side note, the Holy spirit is omnipresent because it's God's spirit and it's present in all life forms.

At least this preacher admits there is an issue with the understanding of the Trinity. Surely the fault is in the teaching though and not in all the believers. Faith in one God should be a simple thing & the teaching of the Trinity is filled with confusion. What most Christians have in common is that we believe in God the Father who empowers us with His Spirit who sent Jesus His son as our messiah and sacrifice for our sins. As soon as we bring in other concepts such as co-equal & 3 persons one being confusion comes in and it doesn't need to be that way.

The Bible says that Jesus is the son of God, not God the son, and not God the Father, The son of God! There's plenty of evidence that the doctrine of the trinity is pagan
Yes he’s the Son of God but he’s of the same nature as the Father. Just because the exact phraseology God the Son doesn’t appear in scripture, it doesn’t disprove it.

@@franciscogutierrez3095 Gods divine nature. I’m my father’s son. I’m not less human. Plus the trinity is in the Old Testament.
@dualtags4486 but the Bible says that Jesus was a man, now what? So he's also got your nature, but furthermore, the Bible does day that Jesus is inferior than God, so the same nature as you call it doesn't mean he's the almighty
@@franciscogutierrez3095 ofc Jesus is a man. I don’t contest that, but he’s more than just a man. How come in Mark 1:1-4, mark quotes two Old Testament prophecies of Yahweh and applies them to Jesus. Also Jesus is never said to be ontologically inferior to the Father, he’s only lower than him because he took on the status of a human servant (Philippians 2:5-8). He’s positionally lower, not ontologically.
I wish he wouldn't waffle so much, but just get on with it.
I think it is called 'stalling for time' simply because he doesn't understand 'the Trinity doctrine' he claims to believe.
He has a good doctrine that is not explained these days in Christian churches. I, as a Christian who at some point studied with the Jehova Witnesses, was very confused on this subject for many years and only found the explanation of trinity on UA-cam after much study and prayers because many Christian pastors not only don't know how to explain it, but also feel scandalized when a relative new christian is confused about the deity of Christ. My only advice to Dr. White would be to be more direct on his explanation, and not to jump back and forth out of the subject because instead of making my attention on him, it was getting me lost. His explanation (at least for me) required all my attention, and every time he would step out to talk about the sandwich store, Florida, etc, I just got lost. It took me about 6 hours to listen to this video repeatedly in order to undertand some details. It may be a simple speach fir theology, but for people who are not, it's not simple at all. Thank you.
I’m actually an ex Jw elder disassociated for awhile now. The union between the father,son and Holy Spirit can be seen when Jesus is baptized,the fathers voice is heard,a dove comes down as the Holy Spirit and the son Jesus Christ is baptized and there we see all three in union. Jesus is also called Jehovah in revelation chapter 1 and also Jesus is called god in many scriptures including John chapter 20 verse 28 where doubting Thomas calls Jesus my lord and my god meaning he has just become a believer.
If you believe in the trinity, you have been deceived.

Paul said "But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him." [1Corinthians 8:6]. Jesus said the Father is the only true God. Paul said there is one God who is the Father and from him are all things (including the Word). I believe what the Lord and Paul are saying. Check to see if you also believe them.

The doctrine of the Trinity is believed by Christians to be biblical, and those who believe it cite Matthew 28:18-20, or 1 John 5:7, “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” These verses are the modern-day rendition identifying an interpolation, and so the question must be asked, “Did Christ in fact speak every word found in these verses?” The first Church Historian Eusebius (quotes Matthew 28:19 as it appeared in the early 4th century, Christ said, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name” (Matthew 28:19, as it was originally quoted, Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965). Note, He never said, “...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” Which commandment did the disciples hear? It appears the latter quoted by Eusebius from an original manuscript of the NT, for there is no instance of the disciples ever baptizing anyone “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,” according to the New Testament! On baptisms specifically were done in the name of {YAHSHUA}, Martin Luther notes, “The apostles certainly used this formula in baptizing in the name of Christ only, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles,’ citing Acts 2:38; 10:48; and 19:5” (Erik H. Herrmann, Paul W. Robinson, The Annotated Luther, Volume 3: Church and Sacraments. Fortress Press. p. 66, 2016). In a documented sermon, Martin Luther made this astonishing statement, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, 1988, p. 406).
The disciples of Christ, in the first two or more centuries, did not know of any doctrine of the Trinity. Historically, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (H. G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). The so-called Great Commission, as written is an interpolation: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, the words in italics were added centuries later). The disciples were to make disciples in His name and they were only baptizing in the name of Christ, as the NT gives evidence.
The formula is mentioned in the Didache (7:1-3), and it is mostly accepted as authentic due to its supporting manuscript evidence (Everett Ferguson, Baptism in the Early Church, 2013, pp. 134-5). Nevertheless, some scholars have held the view that the passage in the Didache is an interpolation as it is absent from the first few centuries of early Christian quotations, in which case it is believed it would be part of an apostolic or early Christian oral tradition from which both the received texts of Matthew and the Didache emerged, however, the conclusion is the church only baptized in the name of Christ. The view of the passage as an interpolation was in recent times maintained, and this particular line of opposing arguments by Trinitarians is pure eisegesis, meaning the process of interpreting a text in such a way as to introduce one's presuppositions, agendas, or biases, that artificially supports the Trinitarian formula, and based on interpolated verses added to the New Testament. Catholics and Protestants would agree with Protestant Theologian James White, who writes, “We hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine…We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet most other scholars know that the Trinity is beyond human understanding, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind, but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Lindsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Christian Handbook, pp. 51-52, 1953). Nowhere in the New Testament is believing in the Trinity a prerequisite for one’s salvation. Nowhere in the Bible did the LORD ever reveal Himself as a Trinity, or Triune God. Interpolations exist in the New Testament, which are words added later to prove the Trinity. Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 are proven interpolations, and therefore not of the original Scriptures. 1 John 5:7 is known as “The Johannine comma,” due to a sequence of extra words in 1 John 5:7-8 which appear in later versions of the Bible, but not in earlier Scriptures. Compare these words below in italics in the KJV and the same verse from the newer ESV.
"For there are three that bear record (witness) in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one" (1 John 5:7-8 KJV).
"For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree" (1 John 5:7-8, ESV).
These extra words are generally absent from the early Greek manuscripts. They only appear in the text in late medieval manuscripts, which were done by Trinitarians to bolster the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinitarian doctrine only existed since the 4th century! A religion unexamined is not worth having. Besides, most Christians when questioned about the Trinity prove to be Modalists, not Trinitarians (The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). Christians have given examples of the Trinity, and one is the steam, water, and ice, which is not a good example for it only proves modalism. The Trinity is not so much a mystery as it is the doctrine of confusion, and we know that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).
That was a very long very insightful post but the fact of the matter is is that God said he would preserve his word down through time and so we have to take into consideration that God is sovereign and if he is sovereign he did not allow the holy scriptures to be so polluted that we would be confused about something as important as who God is So when those verses say that we baptize you in the name of God the Father God the son and God the Holy Spirit you can be sure that is exactly what Christ said otherwise God has failed to do his job and is now a liar and if he is a liar he cannot be God
Not to mention I hate to tell you this but your viewpoint on that whole entire process is garbage.... You yourself have just introduced an incredible amount of agenda and eisogesis and your own presuppositions while complaining that you believe that trinitarians have done the very same thing. The fact of the matter is, the scripture refers to God the Father God the son and God the Holy Spirit and would not do so if there were not such a thing. We have all three members of the Trinity there when Jesus is baptized Jesus is in the water, the father speaks from heaven and said this is my son and whom I am well pleased, and the spirit ascends upon him like a dove now you can choose not to believe that if you want but all of that babble bull hockey you just said about the church and everything else means that God is not capable of preserving the most important doctrine of All in His holy scriptures for believers leaving out nearly the entire last 2000 years of so-called believers on their way to hell for worshiping a false god and if that's how you think God decides he's going to give humanity an opportunity to serve him then you are out of your mind. No sir!!!!
God preserved his word down through time and we have as close to the original manuscripts as we need in order to ensure the salvation of all who read the scriptures and believe the gospel and the fact of the matter is if we were wrong about the Trinity then we would have a different God and the gospel would be useless
@@BenDeRaps1 “For ‘whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved’” (Romans 10:13).
What is “the name which is above every name”?
The answer is given by the prophet Isaiah. “Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). Where did the name YAH come from? First, did you know that the name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century? Therefore, God never revealed the name Jesus, nor did the apostles ever know Him by the name Jesus.
But what of the name YAH? We look to Moses. “Then Moses said to God, ‘Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?’ And God said to Moses, “HaYAH Ashar HaYAH” [meaning: “I AM WHO I AM”]. And He said, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’ Moreover, God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). “HaYAH” means “the I AM” YAH is “the name which is above every name.” YAH, I AM, in Hebrew is יָהּ Therefore, it is HaYAH, “The I AM.” Not Ehyeh. Yeh, or Jehovah are false names never revealed by God.
Since the apostles never knew the name Jesus, which was placed by man into the New Testament, and not according to the revelation of God, we need to put back the revealed name of the Savior.
Is this name YAH a part of the Savior’s name? The apostle Paul assures us of “the name which is above every name,” as part of Christ’s name. He testified, “While thus occupied, as I journeyed to Damascus with authority and commission from the chief priests, at midday, O king, along the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining around me and those who journeyed with me. And when we all had fallen to the ground, I heard a voice speaking to me and saying in the Hebrew language, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.’ So I said, ‘Who are You, Lord?’ And He said, ‘I am YAHSHUA, whom you are persecuting. But rise and stand on your feet; for I have appeared to you for this purpose, to make you a minister and a witness both of the things which you have seen and of the things which I will yet reveal to you. I will deliver you from the Jewish people, as well as from the Gentiles, to whom I now send you, to open their eyes, in order to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Me’” (Acts 26:12-18). Christ told Paul His name in Hebrew. And this is what Paul wrote to the Philippians, “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him ‘the name which is above every name,’ that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father” (Philippians 2:9-11). Christ, Himself told the people that He is YAH, meaning “I AM.” Our Savior said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM {YAH}.” The expression “I AM”, means YAH. We praise our God and Savior with this expression: “Halleluyah, Praise YAH!”
Shua means “my help,” as in “salvation.” YAHSHUA means, “I AM Salvation.” And the apostle Peter testified, “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” When the Sanhedrin (Jewish Court) heard the name YAHSHUA, as the name YAH is the very name given to Moses, and they recognized the very name YAH, that they sought to hide from the Gentiles, for fear that the Gentiles would profane the name, the Sanhedrin forbid the apostle from preaching in this name, “YAHSHUA” (Acts 4:17-18). However, when the apostles preached in the name of YAHSHUA, the people did not hear it, instead, they heard the name Yeshua (a common name among the Jews at that time), and unless one was part of the Way, the Nazareans, the name YAHSHUA was not well known. Yeshua, an Aramaic name, was a common name in the 1st century.
Those who reject the name YAHSHUA need to take warning, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God” (John 3:18). Why is this important revealed name, YAHSHUA, not better known? The answer is given by YAHSHUA, He said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). “Few there be who find it.”
The Aramaic name Yeshua was transliterated into Greek and became an entirely different name Iesous. Iesous (ee-sous) transformed into Iesus (ee-sus, as seen in the 1611 KJV Bible). Iesus was later transformed into the name Jesus (gee-sus) when the letter J became officially incorporated into the English Alphabet in the 17th century. According to the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). No other name, so which is the one name given under heaven by which we must be saved? Yeshua, Iesous, Iesus, or Jesus?
Is the name of salvation based on the revelation of God, or by the changing languages according to the tongues of mankind?
The prophet Isaiah tells us the name of salvation, he says, "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation’ ” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV, as found in Hebrew Scriptures Yod-Hey יָהּ). Is YAH the name of Salvation?
Did the Savior identify Himself with the name YAH, which means "I AM."
Christ said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58 NKJV).
Is YAH "the name which is above every name"?
When Moses asked for God's name, did God reveal the name YAH, as in "I AM?"
"Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, "HaYAH Ashar HaYAH" [“I AM WHO I AM”]. And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH} has sent me to you.’ ” Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’" (Exodus 3:13-15). Does this make YAH [I AM] "the name which is above every name"?
When the apostle Paul was on the road to Damascus and encountered the Lord, did he hear the Lord give his name in Hebrew, as found in Acts 26:12-18, and so did he hear "the name which is above every name"? Did the apostle Paul hear the name given to Moses, the very name "YAH"?
Is not the revealed name of YAH, "the name which is above every name"?
The apostle Paul wrote this, "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him 'the name which is above every name'..." (Philippians 2:9).
Therefore, is it not reasonable to see that "YAH" is "the name which is above every name," and that YAH is part of our Savior's revealed name?
Therefore, the apostle Paul would have originally written: "Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him 'the name which is above every name,' that at the name of YAHSHUA, every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that YAHSHUA the Christ is LORD, to the glory of God the Father" (Philippians 2:9-11).
Therefore, based on the above, YAHSHUA is the only name by which we must be saved.
What if I do not believe in the name YAHSHUA, and stay with the name Jesus, even though it came to be by the tongue of man, and not by the revelation of God?
Well, “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18). In answer to your question, according to the New Testament, you will stand condemned...
@@BenDeRaps1 And yet, the apostles did not do what the Savior asked regarding how to baptize. 1 John 5:7 is a proven interpolation. Trinitarians dominate Christianity so much so that they would have you believe that if you are not a Trinitarian, you are not a Christian. This is not true. Historically, Christianity has not always been controlled by the Trinitarians or their Doctrine. There was no defined Trinitarian doctrine for the first three hundred years of the history of the Christian Church. But to listen to Trinitarians, you would think Christ taught His disciples the Trinity, or at the very least God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the church from the beginning. No such teaching or revelation from God was ever given, nor was the Trinity made essential for believers according to the Bible.
Yet, according to Trinitarians, the doctrine of the Trinity is considered sacred and fundamental, and most Trinitarians view it as the litmus test for defining who is and is not a Christian. Only ignorance would allow such a thing. The audacity of the Trinitarians to threaten one’s very salvation! James White has publicly stated, “We (Trinitarians) hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine… We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully and completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet, no one can understand the Trinity. Scholars have acknowledged this, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind; but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Linsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Handbook of Christian Truth, pp. 51). This Trinitarian Doctrine produces confusion, and this confusion is not from the God of the Bible (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Where did this doctrine of the Trinity come from? “The term ‘Trinity’ is not itself found in the Bible. It was first used by Tertullian at the close of the 2nd century but received wide currency and formal elucidation only after the 4th and 5th centuries” (see “Trinity,” New Bible Dictionary, 1996). “Precisely what that doctrine is, or rather precisely how it is to be explained, Trinitarians are not agreed among themselves” (see “Trinitarians,” A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge).
Biblically, God never revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity, then how did the church come to accept it? From history, we get the answer, “The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and many controversies…It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from Him” (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). Over 3 hundred years after Christ, this doctrine of God being Triune took over the church as essential to our salvation! What of all the believers who accepted Christ before the 4th century, but had no idea that belief in the Trinity was a requirement for their salvation?
Is the demand by Trinitarians that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation a form of legalism? What is legalism? Have not Trinitarians laid down the law that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved? In Christian theology, "legalism" is a pejorative term applied to the idea that "by doing good works or by obeying the law, a person earns and merits salvation." If men, whether by popular belief or by group or clergy, place a prerequisite, a stipulation, or insist upon a certain belief upon one so that they would receive salvation is this not a form of legalism? Only Christ, by the will of the Father, can place prerequisites, stipulations, and beliefs upon one to receive salvation without falling under “legalism.” Therefore, Christ made no requirement that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation, then it follows that the stipulation that one must believe in the Trinity would be a form of legalism caused by Trinitarians. There is no requirement by Christ that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation.
Where did the idea of the Trinity come from since God never revealed the concept of the Trinity? Edward Gibbon, a noted historian, gives this answer, “If paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians…was changed by the Church…into the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity” (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, p. xvi, 1883). The Trinity finds its birth in the West according to Pagan Greek philosophy. Were we not warned about this by the apostle Paul, who wrote, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Rise up in truth all Christians and throw off this heavy yoke of Trinitarian bondage to a false doctrine never revealed by Christ. It is false that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved. Christ is God because His God and Father gave Him all things, and all things are committed to Him. Christ said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27).
@@S.R.M. your big long goofy post is absolutely false and not a word of it is true. Yes of course the word Trinity was not found in the pages of scripture however Christ spoke of the father and of the paraclete, the Holy Spirit when she spoke to them just before he left and said he was sending the spirit in his place and he mentioned it other places throughout the scriptures as well. Just because something isn't directly spoken of such as the word Trinity does not mean that the doctrine was not taught and all of that garbage you just said for about 2000 words about how the first 300 years it was never mentioned, first of all, I'm sorry were you there for the first 300 years? You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about...... Since we don't have any first century documents except for a timely little leaflet piece of the book of matthew...... Everything else that we have is from the second and third century....
But the fact still remains that Christ spoke of the father and he spoke of the spirit in multiple places and you'll find it in every gospel and you'll find it and all of the Epistles and so for us to assume that it was not spoken of by Christ is just completely ignorant of the facts and just because you don't want to believe in the Trinity yet you want to call yourself a christian, that's up to you.. and of course you're not a Christian if you don't believe in the father son and spirit because they are one God and if you don't believe in God as he is then you're believing in a different God aren't you because you don't believe in the correct God.... You believe in the Jesus as a historical figure but you do not believe in Jesus who is the son who has a father and has a spirit, a triune being that makes up one God which is the God of the Bible the God that we serve..... And that doesn't sit well with you and I really don't give a crap how it sits because it is nevertheless true. I'm not here to cuddle your emotions or make your little feelings feel better I'm here to tell you the truth and if you don't like the truth that's your own problem not mine... You have to be completely ignorant of the facts, by simply turning a blind eye to what the scripture say if you would like to do that that's on you and one day you'll stand before God and you'll answer for that. You don't have to stand before me and answer for anything but to say that the father son and spirit are not found in scripture is just absolutely a false statement and it only takes a 5-year-old reading level to be able to tell that Christ spoke of his father and of the spirit who would come in his place the second paraclete in the Greek.... Jesus even spoke of the spirit to Nicodemus and we know that by textual criticism because the word Spirit and the word wind are the same word in the Greek but when you follow contextual criticism we know that Jesus wasn't talking about the wind because of how he used it in the sentence..... In other words, through contextual criticism we realize he was talking about a person not a thing..... Had he simply been talking about wind he would have described it like you would describe wind not like you would describe a person with a personality.... Anyway I'm not going to continue to have this conversation with you because there are all kinds of fake religions that believe in Jesus they just believe in the Jesus of their own creation not that Jesus of the Bible..... And you are absolutely correct that we trinitarians believe that if you don't believe in the Jesus of the Bible then you believe in a false Jesus and you will not be saved by a false jesus. It's called The Gospel and it's the only way that man can be saved because it's the power of God unto salvation
Most Christians are not passionate about the trinity, because deep down they know its not true. It's historical but not part of the history of the teaching of jesus or the apostles. It's confusing, & no wonder because it doesn't make sense nor is it taught in the bible! The doctrine of the trinity turns people away from belief in Christianity because it is a mystery to the teachers of Christianity, let alone the church goers!

Because 90% of people I have tried to explain this too get confused. Even those who thought they understood it seems to be off the mark. The problem is that it has no bearing on everyday life. People like James White can't seem to fathom it. He's a intellectual, so the theological intricacies are far more relevant to his biblical approach than to mom and pop sitting in the pew.
I stopped grappling with this issue because the mystical and philosophical aspect of this doctrine interfered with my relationship with God. Hard to explain but my forefathers who was saved at the Battle of Blood River did not pray to a Trinity. And yet, a miracle happened. Same with Vegkop and numerous other incidents where God intervened for us. The Voortrekkers didn't even understand the concept because there was no theologian to explain it to them. When they left the Cape all they had were their Bibles and faith in their simple and personal God. The reformed (strangely enough) church actually cursed them for leaving.
Okay, I'm rambling a bit. But remember, tens of thousands of saved souls never understood the doctrine and many more will not. Some like Bart Erhman that do, turn apostate.

@@vettelover695 of course I can help you with it.... The scripture say that when Jesus became flesh.... He made himself lower than the angels.... And he set aside his authority.....

Dr James White is an awesome teacher who teaches the original languages and knows his Bible. We need to remember that if God has not given someone a new heart then the truth of the Trinity will be foolishness to them and they will never understand it. If they are not made alive by the gospel then all you're trying to do is teach a corpse.
The doctrine of the Trinity is believed by Christians to be biblical, and those who believe it cite Matthew 28:18-20, or 1 John 5:7, “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” These verses are the modern-day rendition identifying an interpolation, and so the question must be asked, “Did Christ in fact speak every word found in these verses?” The first Church Historian Eusebius (quotes Matthew 28:19 as it appeared in the early 4th century, Christ said, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name” (Matthew 28:19, as it was originally quoted, Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965). Note, He never said, “...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” Which commandment did the disciples hear? It appears the latter quoted by Eusebius from an original manuscript of the NT, for there is no instance of the disciples ever baptizing anyone “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,” according to the New Testament! On baptisms specifically were done in the name of {YAHSHUA}, Martin Luther notes, “The apostles certainly used this formula in baptizing in the name of Christ only, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles,’ citing Acts 2:38; 10:48; and 19:5” (Erik H. Herrmann, Paul W. Robinson, The Annotated Luther, Volume 3: Church and Sacraments. Fortress Press. p. 66, 2016). In a documented sermon, Martin Luther made this astonishing statement, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, 1988, p. 406).
The disciples of Christ, in the first two or more centuries, did not know of any doctrine of the Trinity. Historically, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (H. G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). The so-called Great Commission, as written is an interpolation: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, the words in italics were added centuries later). The disciples were to make disciples in His name and they were only baptizing in the name of Christ, as the NT gives evidence.
The formula is mentioned in the Didache (7:1-3), and it is mostly accepted as authentic due to its supporting manuscript evidence (Everett Ferguson, Baptism in the Early Church, 2013, pp. 134-5). Nevertheless, some scholars have held the view that the passage in the Didache is an interpolation as it is absent from the first few centuries of early Christian quotations, in which case it is believed it would be part of an apostolic or early Christian oral tradition from which both the received texts of Matthew and the Didache emerged, however, the conclusion is the church only baptized in the name of Christ. The view of the passage as an interpolation was in recent times maintained, and this particular line of opposing arguments by Trinitarians is pure eisegesis, meaning the process of interpreting a text in such a way as to introduce one's presuppositions, agendas, or biases, that artificially supports the Trinitarian formula, and based on interpolated verses added to the New Testament. Catholics and Protestants would agree with Protestant Theologian James White, who writes, “We hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine…We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet most other scholars know that the Trinity is beyond human understanding, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind, but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Lindsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Christian Handbook, pp. 51-52, 1953). Nowhere in the New Testament is believing in the Trinity a prerequisite for one’s salvation. Nowhere in the Bible did the LORD ever reveal Himself as a Trinity, or Triune God. Interpolations exist in the New Testament, which are words added later to prove the Trinity. Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 are proven interpolations, and therefore not of the original Scriptures. 1 John 5:7 is known as “The Johannine comma,” due to a sequence of extra words in 1 John 5:7-8 which appear in later versions of the Bible, but not in earlier Scriptures. Compare these words below in italics in the KJV and the same verse from the newer ESV.
"For there are three that bear record (witness) in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one" (1 John 5:7-8 KJV).
"For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree" (1 John 5:7-8, ESV).
These extra words are generally absent from the early Greek manuscripts. They only appear in the text in late medieval manuscripts, which were done by Trinitarians to bolster the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinitarian doctrine only existed since the 4th century! A religion unexamined is not worth having. Besides, most Christians when questioned about the Trinity prove to be Modalists, not Trinitarians (The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). Christians have given examples of the Trinity, and one is the steam, water, and ice, which is not a good example for it only proves modalism. The Trinity is not so much a mystery as it is the doctrine of confusion, and we know that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).
- No one has to believe in the Trinity doctrine to be a Christian and have God's salvation. - *Faith in JESUS and faith in His sin-atoning BLOOD is our salvation* - not faith in the Trinity doctrine.
@@VAIO294 The Trinity is the Father fully God, the Son (Christ) fully God, and the Holy Ghost fully God, however, the Father is not the Son, nor is the Son the Father, and the Spirit is not the Son, nor is the Spirit the Father. They are all distinct from each other. Yet there are not three Gods (elohim), but One God (Eloah). How is it that not one verse in the Bible states: “God is One in three persons”?
It is common among Christians who tend to think and believe that the Trinity is established in the Bible, who insist on the belief of the Trinity of three co-equal, co-eternal Persons in the One God is biblical. And yet increasingly, many very well-known Bible Scholars do not think Christ is God in a Trinitarian sense, based on the lack of evidence in the Old and New Testaments. Therefore, many distinguished scholars maintain that the doctrine of the Trinity is not taught anywhere in the Bible. Trinitarians promote two verses, which are Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7, however, these two pillars of Trinitarianism are proven interpolations, that is words that were added to Scripture much later into the original biblical text.
While the doctrine of the Trinity is not taught in the New Testament and never revealed by God in the Old Testament, it was first formulated by Christian bishops in the 4th century, that is three hundred years after Christ, and who attempted to understand the relationship between Christ and the Father in three main Church Councils, The Council of Nicaea (325), The Council of Constantinople (381), and The Council of Ephesus (431). Those men who participated in three councils sought to define God on their terms without one thus says the LORD, and not one provable proof text

History does not reveal that the apostles ever knew of the Trinity Doctrine, that is: “The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God, and yet not three gods (elohim), one God (eloah), equally important, the Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Holy Ghost, therefore, each is a separate Person of the Godhead.” Trinitarians have placed two major interpolations in the New Testament to artificially establish the Trinity. To sum up the findings of historians, H.G. Wells stated, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (THE OUTLINE OF HISTORY, Vol. 2, p. 499).
“Primitive (Apostolic) Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds of the early (4th century) church” (see “God”, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY of NEW TESTAMENT THEOLOGY, Vol. 2, 1976, p. 84).
First interpolation: 1 John 5:7-8. Modern Biblical scholarship agrees that 1 John 5:7 seen in Latin and Greek texts after the 4th century and found in later translations such as the King James Bible Translation, cannot be found in the oldest Greek and Latin texts. Verse 7 is known as the Johannine Comma, an interpolation, which most scholars agree to be a later addition by a later Trinitarian copyist, also classified as a textual gloss, but not part of the original text. This verse reads: “Because there are three in Heaven that testify - the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit - these three are one.”
This verse is absent from the original Aramaic, Syriac, Slavic, early Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian, and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament. It is primarily found in later Latin manuscripts, although some Greek, Slavonic, and late Armenian manuscripts contain it.
Second Interpolation: Matthew 28:19. States, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” Matthew 28:19 is quoted by Trinitarians as evidence for the Trinity. However, it is an interpolation into the Text. Respected Bible scholars say that the formula was an insertion and that it originally stated: “Go and make disciples of all nations in my name.”
Matthew 28:19 is the only verse in the entire New Testament with the “Trinity” formula.” All other verses point to baptism being performed in the Name of Christ alone. Take for example Apostle Peter in Acts, who promoted baptisms in the name of the Lord. See the following verses:
Acts 2:38 - “Then Peter said to them, “Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:16 - For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 10:48 - So Peter ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiah. Then they asked him to stay there for several days.
If Matthew 28:19 is true and genuine, and Jesus did command His disciples to baptize ”in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” then why would Peter go against a commandment and baptize only in His name? Well, the answer lies in the Text.
This is unbiblical and borderline insane to act like Trinitarianism is a salvation issue.
@@lightbeforethetunnel It is time for Christians to throw off the Trinitarian tyranny! The God of the Bible is not Triune!
There are no Trinity. That is a post-biblical idea and doctrine that arose in the Catholic Church long after Jesus and the apostles had gone. As history shows us. The 3 Gods pantheon was not fully established before 381 AD as I have come to understand it. In the Catholic Church.
Jesus, and the Apostles, all said that the Father is the only true God. John 17:3 / 1 Corinthians 8:6 Clearly they know the eternal truth.
Ask yourself this question and ponder it, is there any contradiction in God and His word? Was what Jesus and the Apostles said the truth? Or did they not know the truth?
If we cannot receive what Jesus said, and embrace and stand with that, how are we Christian(followers of Christ) ? Aren't that what Christians are supposed to do? To receive what Jesus said and taught.
"Hear O Israel, YHVH our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4) And the Israelite Jesus confirmed the eternal truth, Mark 12:29
"And Scripture cannot be set aside." John 10:35
At the Council of Constantinople in AD 381, Theodosius, emperor of the eastern Roman empire, issued a decree in which all his subjects were required to subscribe to a belief in the Trinity of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. This edict defined "Christian" orthodoxy and brought to an end a lively and wide-ranging debate about the nature of God; all other interpretations were now declared heretical. ...And so the horrific persecutions began in earnest. What a horror story for the ages.
Thank you for speaking up!
@Grey ....Trinitarians cannot be honest about their own beliefs I have found, again and again and again. They believe in 1 God, consisting of 3 persons, all 3 also being God, God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. I know what they teach. You can go do your spin elsewhere it does not work with me.
Right on... Trinitarians dominate Christianity so much so that they would have you believe that if you are not a Trinitarian, you are not a Christian. This is not true. Historically, Christianity has not always been controlled by the Trinitarians or their Doctrine. There was no defined Trinitarian doctrine for the first three hundred years of the history of the Christian Church. But to listen to Trinitarians, you would think Christ taught His disciples the Trinity, or at the very least God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the church from the beginning. No such teaching or revelation from God was ever given, nor was the Trinity made essential for believers according to the Bible.
Yet, according to Trinitarians, the doctrine of the Trinity is considered sacred and fundamental, and most Trinitarians view it as the litmus test for defining who is and is not a Christian. Only ignorance would allow such a thing. The audacity of the Trinitarians to threaten one’s very salvation! James White has publicly stated, “We (Trinitarians) hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine… We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully and completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet, no one can understand the Trinity. Scholars have acknowledged this, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind; but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Linsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Handbook of Christian Truth, pp. 51). This Trinitarian Doctrine produces confusion, and this confusion is not from the God of the Bible (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Where did this doctrine of the Trinity come from? “The term ‘Trinity’ is not itself found in the Bible. It was first used by Tertullian at the close of the 2nd century but received wide currency and formal elucidation only after the 4th and 5th centuries” (see “Trinity,” New Bible Dictionary, 1996). “Precisely what that doctrine is, or rather precisely how it is to be explained, Trinitarians are not agreed among themselves” (see “Trinitarians,” A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge).
Biblically, God never revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity, then how did the church come to accept it? From history, we get the answer, “The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and many controversies…It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from Him” (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). Over 3 hundred years after Christ, this doctrine of God being Triune took over the church as essential to our salvation! What of all the believers who accepted Christ before the 4th century, but had no idea that belief in the Trinity was a requirement for their salvation?
Is the demand by Trinitarians that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation a form of legalism? What is legalism? Have not Trinitarians laid down the law that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved? In Christian theology, "legalism" is a pejorative term applied to the idea that "by doing good works or by obeying the law, a person earns and merits salvation." If men, whether by popular belief or by group or clergy, place a prerequisite, a stipulation, or insist upon a certain belief upon one so that they would receive salvation is this not a form of legalism? Only Christ, by the will of the Father, can place prerequisites, stipulations, and beliefs upon one to receive salvation without falling under “legalism.” Therefore, Christ made no requirement that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation, then it follows that the stipulation that one must believe in the Trinity would be a form of legalism caused by Trinitarians. There is no requirement by Christ that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation.
Where did the idea of the Trinity come from since God never revealed the concept of the Trinity? Edward Gibbon, a noted historian, gives this answer, “If paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians…was changed by the Church…into the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity” (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, p. xvi, 1883). The Trinity finds its birth in the West according to Pagan Greek philosophy. Were we not warned about this by the apostle Paul, who wrote, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Rise up in truth all Christians and throw off this heavy yoke of Trinitarian bondage to a false doctrine never revealed by Christ. It is false that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved. Christ is God because His God and Father gave Him all things, and all things are committed to Him. Christ said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27).
If Jehovah God is a TRINITY God, why would He say that He is only one in DEUTERONOMY 6:4; PSALMS 83:18; ISAIAH 43:10-12; ISAIAH 45:5,6???
One Essence....Yaweh is Spirit (John 4:24) Jesus is Yaweh manifest in the Flesh (John 1:14, Matthew 1:20-23, John 10:30-38, John 14:7-11)
“Jehovah…” (Yehovah) It is widely used in many churches. It is considered by many Christians to be hollowed, and many beautiful hymns also endear it, however, this name “Jehovah” is a concoction of man. Therefore, it is a “mongrel,” a “hybrid,” and it is “fantastic,” a fantasy, and it is “monstrous!” There is something very wrong with this euphonious name Jehovah. Therefore, the name of Jehovah was a name never revealed by the LORD. The facts have only to be known to justify this verdict. What are the facts?
Ever since the Babylonian invasion of the Kingdom of Judea, and the enforced diaspora of its noble class in 597 BCE, the Jews have had a strong penchant for hiding the name of the LORD (YHWH) from the Gentiles, thus preventing them from potentially profaning the LORD’s name revealed to Moses (specifically the name of YAH, “HaYAH”, as found in Exodus 3:13-15). YAH is “the name which is above every name.” Readers in the synagogues would inadvertently attempt to pronounce the LORD’s name, as there were no vowels in the Hebrew words within the Hebrew Bible [or known as “The Old Testament”] when coming upon God’s name: YHWH. Later, the Jewish clergy developed the practice, around the 1100s of adding Hebrew vowels created by the Masoretes, to the Tetragrammaton [Gr. word for the four consonant letters of the LORD's name]. The vowels were taken from at least three other Hebrew words, namely, Adonay (meaning Lord, with the vowels of a-o-ai causing the hybrid name YaHoWaiH, or later shortened to YAHWEH), Eloah (meaning God, with the vowels of e-o-a causing YeHoWaH later Jehovah or Yehovah), and Elohim (meaning Gods, with the vowels of e-o-i causing YeHoWiH, as shown in Strong’s Dictionary of Bible Words # 3069). These hybrid names were never meant to form any legitimate name for the LORD but were placed there to remind the readers in the synagogues to say, “Adonay” instead of attempting to pronounce the LORD’s actual name.
How was this euphonious name, Jehovah, propagated?
Later in Medieval times, the Roman Catholic Church was known to raid Jewish synagogues, take their gold, and the Hebrew Scriptures [the Old Testament], and persecute Jews. Raymondus Martini was a 13th century Dominican friar and theologian. He is remembered for his book called “Pugio Fidei” (in the year 1270 CE). Finding the absconded Hebrew Scriptures in the Dominican Library, and believing he had discovered the name of God, he used the name Iehovah (or Iehova) in his book not understanding that these vowels were not original to the LORD’s actual name. The name and pronunciation of “Jehovah,” (and also the name Jesus unknown until the 17th century) were essentially unknown in the years before 1520 CE, when introduced and propagated by Peter, Galatinus (1450-1540), he held the office of penitentiary under pope Leo X. His chief work De Arcanis Catholicae Veritatis, a book, written at the request of the pope, the emperor, and other dignitaries, in the year 1516 CE, as he also used the name Iehovah in his book. The name Iehovah was altered with the addition of the letter J, which was a recent addition to the English alphabet in the 17th century. Galatinus also did not know of the Jewish practice of adding vowels from an entirely different word. He did not know that the vowels found around the Tetragrammaton YeHoWaH were from the Hebrew word Eloah, and if he did, he did not care. Noted Bible scholar J. B. Rotherham, essentially stated, “To give YHWH (Latin: IHVH and later JHVH) the vowels of the word (ELOAH) to remind the Jewish reader to say, ‘Adonay,’ and to be pronounced by the Christians, ‘Jehovah,’ is about as hybrid a combination as it would be to spell the name of Germany with the vowels of Portugal-viz., Gormuna” (The Emphasized Bible, J. B. Rotherham, Kregel Publication, 1994, Pp. 24-25). Jehovah in its present hybrid form has only existed since the 17th century. Fact: The LORD’s essential name is YAH, and Bible scholars have acknowledged YAHWEH (see Strong’s #3050), as in “Praise YAH,” Hebrew: “Halleluyah!” The English “Hallelujah” is a misnomer. YAH is “the name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9), and YAHSHUA is the only name by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12), and this name is to be known among every language, and tongue, as the essential revealed name of the LORD according to the Gospel (Philippians 2:11), YAH, as in HaYAH (the I AM). The Savior identified His name as “I AM” (YAH, see John 8:58). The prophet Isaiah identified the name of salvation as YAH (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). And “shua” means “my help”, as in “my salvation.” To reject the revealed name of YAHSHUA, which was given by the angel (Matthew 1:21) is to stand condemned (John 3:18). YAHSHUA is shortened from the name YAHOSHUA, which is commonly spelled Yehoshua largely due to the Jewish practice of hiding the name YAH, by adding vowels to YHWH, the Tetragrammaton, from the Hebrew vowels of Eloah, which caused the false Yeh, as a result, scholars would consider YAHOSHUA a philological impossibility, however, they are mistaken.
What does the name Jehovah mean in Hebrew?
Je-hovah, “hovah” in Hebrew means, “Ruin, Mischief, and Calamity” (see Strong’s #1942, #1943). The Jewish Encyclopedia, states, under the name “Jehovah,” “This name is commonly represented in modern translations by the form Jehovah, which, however, is a philological impossibility” (p. 160). The Jehovah’s Witnesses admittedly make a similar reference that the name Jehovah is inferior, in their book: Let Your Name Be Sanctified (p. 16). Undoubtedly, the name Jehovah is not the revealed name of the LORD! Many Christian clergy know the truth that the name Jehovah is bogus. Still, due to their tradition, or the fact that this name erroneously appears in the King James Version of the Bible, they hold to this euphonious name for the sake of their tradition, which makes void the revelation of God (Mark 7:6-7). The Lord has a warning for them, “And now, O priests (pastors and teachers), this commandment is for you. If you will not hear, and if you will not take it to heart, to give glory to My name,” says the LORD of hosts, “I will send a curse upon you, Yes, I have cursed them already, because you do not take it to heart” (Malachi 2:1-2). Satan is deceiving the whole world (Revelation 12:9). Despite being told the truth of the one name of salvation, YAHSHUA, they will hold to the name Jesus and Jehovah, despite never having been revealed by the LORD. Many will reject the name YAHSHUA leaving only a few, and being of the many despite the admonishment: “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). The name Jesus was never revealed by the LORD, or an angel of the Lord, and history proves this, as eminent historian Ernest Renan acknowledged that the Savior was never in His lifetime called “Jesus” (The Life of Jesus, p. 90). The name Jesus, in its present form, has only existed since the 17th century.
Many on the path to the wide gate of destruction have sought to justify their faith in the substitute (counterfeit name) of Jesus, for they say, “I have seen wonders in the name of Jesus, and demons cast out in the name of Jesus, however, the Lord YAHSHUA has this to say to them, as given in Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’” Those who think that demons were cast out as a basis for holding onto a name that God never revealed will find the Lord saying “Depart from Me,” for they are workers of lawlessness! As the apostle Peter said, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). This means that all these names Jesus, Iesus, Iesous, and all the names that come from these three names are counterfeits! Halleluyah, Praise YAH! Praise YAHSHUA!
@@sandman9390 True YAHSHUA is YAH, but He is not the Father, who is His God and Father. The doctrine of the Trinity is believed by Christians to be biblical, and those who believe it cite Matthew 28:18-20, or 1 John 5:7, “And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” These verses are the modern-day rendition identifying an interpolation, and so the question must be asked, “Did Christ in fact speak every word found in these verses?” The first Church Historian Eusebius (quotes Matthew 28:19 as it appeared in the early 4th century, Christ said, “Go and make disciples of all nations in My name” (Matthew 28:19, as it was originally quoted, Eusebius, The History of the Church, p. 68, Penguin Classics, 1965). Note, He never said, “...baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.” Which commandment did the disciples hear? It appears the latter quoted by Eusebius from an original manuscript of the NT, for there is no instance of the disciples ever baptizing anyone “In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost,” according to the New Testament! On baptisms specifically were done in the name of {YAHSHUA}, Martin Luther notes, “The apostles certainly used this formula in baptizing in the name of Christ only, as we read in the Acts of the Apostles,’ citing Acts 2:38; 10:48; and 19:5” (Erik H. Herrmann, Paul W. Robinson, The Annotated Luther, Volume 3: Church and Sacraments. Fortress Press. p. 66, 2016). In a documented sermon, Martin Luther made this astonishing statement, “It is indeed true that the name ‘Trinity’ is nowhere to be found in the Holy Scriptures, but has been conceived and invented by man” (The Sermons of Martin Luther, Vol. 3, 1988, p. 406).
The disciples of Christ, in the first two or more centuries, did not know of any doctrine of the Trinity. Historically, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (H. G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). The so-called Great Commission, as written is an interpolation: "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19, the words in italics were added centuries later). The disciples were to make disciples in His name and they were only baptizing in the name of Christ, as the NT gives evidence.
The formula is mentioned in the Didache (7:1-3), and it is mostly accepted as authentic due to its supporting manuscript evidence (Everett Ferguson, Baptism in the Early Church, 2013, pp. 134-5). Nevertheless, some scholars have held the view that the passage in the Didache is an interpolation as it is absent from the first few centuries of early Christian quotations, in which case it is believed it would be part of an apostolic or early Christian oral tradition from which both the received texts of Matthew and the Didache emerged, however, the conclusion is the church only baptized in the name of Christ. The view of the passage as an interpolation was in recent times maintained, and this particular line of opposing arguments by Trinitarians is pure eisegesis, meaning the process of interpreting a text in such a way as to introduce one's presuppositions, agendas, or biases, that artificially supports the Trinitarian formula, and based on interpolated verses added to the New Testament. Catholics and Protestants would agree with Protestant Theologian James White, who writes, “We hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine…We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet most other scholars know that the Trinity is beyond human understanding, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind, but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Lindsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Christian Handbook, pp. 51-52, 1953). Nowhere in the New Testament is believing in the Trinity a prerequisite for one’s salvation. Nowhere in the Bible did the LORD ever reveal Himself as a Trinity, or Triune God. Interpolations exist in the New Testament, which are words added later to prove the Trinity. Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7 are proven interpolations, and therefore not of the original Scriptures. 1 John 5:7 is known as “The Johannine comma,” due to a sequence of extra words in 1 John 5:7-8 which appear in later versions of the Bible, but not in earlier Scriptures. Compare these words below in italics in the KJV and the same verse from the newer ESV.
"For there are three that bear record (witness) in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one" (1 John 5:7-8 KJV).
"For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree" (1 John 5:7-8, ESV).
These extra words are generally absent from the early Greek manuscripts. They only appear in the text in late medieval manuscripts, which were done by Trinitarians to bolster the man-made doctrine of the Trinity. The Trinitarian doctrine only existed since the 4th century! A religion unexamined is not worth having. Besides, most Christians when questioned about the Trinity prove to be Modalists, not Trinitarians (The Forgotten Trinity, p. 16). Christians have given examples of the Trinity, and one is the steam, water, and ice, which is not a good example for it only proves modalism. The Trinity is not so much a mystery as it is the doctrine of confusion, and we know that God is not the author of confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Let me explain.... If you understood the Hebrew translation of what you are saying then you would understand exactly what's going on here. In the prayer the shema the Hebrew prayer it says hero Israel the Lord our God is one but the word used for one in Hebrew there is "ACHAD" which means a compound union. It's the same exact word for one used when a husband and wife get married and it says the two become One flesh the word their used is "ACHAD" as well..... It means a compound Union.... Meaning Father Son and Holy Spirit equal one God
@@BenDeRaps1 One "essence"? Compound unity? That's nonsense.
Nope! There is NOT 3 gods. There's Only One God, and He is JESUS CHRIST, God in the flesh. The Omnipotent Holy Spirit is the Father. If you see Jesus Christ, you see God. "Hear O Israel, the Lord thy God is One God." -- Jesus Christ. (Mark 12:29-31). (John 1:1-5; John 14:6-7; Rev. 1:8,18).

Hi James, I have a question. Why Jesus called His Father His God. Jesus has a God like us. Can you explain this to me. Thanks
It doesn’t mean that Jesus is not God, it means that The Son, living as man, submitted to God the Father. Jesus was man AND God, and since He is a perfect man, He needed to have perfect submission to God. In order to do that, He would need to acknowledge God in the first place. Hence, the Son acknowledges the Father as God.
@@thatonechristian2487- The Bible does *not* say Jesus'
subordination to God is limited to only while Jesus was in the fleshly body.
Actually, even in His spirit form Jesus is subordinated to The FATHER as in the verses below;

-->1 Corinthians 11:3 ~ _“But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; the head of the woman is the man; _*_and THE HEAD of Jesus Christ is GOD.”_*
Also, Jesus Himself said *_"The FATHER is GREATER than I."_* (John 14:28) - Jesus did *not* add any qualifier to that statement such as _"for only as long as I'm in the fleshly body."_
@@thatonechristian2487 Jesus still calls the Father his God in Revelation. And before you say it's just because he's in a mediatorial role, 1 Corinthians 15:28 says the Son will be subject to the Father after the period of mediation is complete. So if the Father is Jesus' God right now, he will still be after 1 Corinthians 15:28 takes place.
@@gimel77 you are purposely ignoring all of the verses let people have quoted explaining how your position is wrong. Like when God the Father calls Christ the son Lord and then says this day I have begotten you..... Begotten not made....

God the Father, God the Son, and God the holy Spirit. All three persons of the Godhead present and accounted for. The word Trinity may not be in the Bible, but the idea of it is clearly present throughout scripture.

In the Old Testament it mentions about God, And Jesus in someway was implied or mentioned.
In the New Testament were concerned that they will be left by themselves after Jesus' ascension. Then Jesus told them that He will send back the Holy Spirit to them.
So my questions are: Why basing on what Jesus said, it brought out the doctrine of Trinity, 5he three distinct persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
But why in the Old Testament it did not say that there are two persons?
Another question: Is the Spirit of God in the Old Testament actually the one being referred to by Jesus?
Just because God is the Father and Jesus is the Son and when Jesus comforted His disciples with the promise of the Holy Spirit, or God's Spirit
that brought about the Trinity, the three distinct persons
Some see the Trinity in passages like Isaiah 63, Exodus 33, and partly in the Sodom, Exodus,
If in John 6:63 words are spirit(John 1:1,14 John 2:21 John 4:24) then the third Person of the Godhead should be called as Holy WORDS(John 6:63) ???
Can someone please explain this?? A fellow who was chosen to be a consultant to our church says this about the Trinity on his web site: "too many to be one; but too one to be many". What the heck does that mean?
It means the doctrine of the trinity is a lie. Jesus clearly taught as does the rest of the Bible that the Father alone is God. Jesus is the son of God.....the Christ or Messiah
It seems like a very bad attempt at explaining the Trinity in a tongue-in-cheek kinda way.
I think he was trying to say, 'Too many [Persons] to be one [Person]; but too one [God] to be many [Gods].’.

Hi Brethren,
Truth is bitter whilst the Gospel Truth is very bitter to the hypocrites. Now, Moses put on Christ and gained the knowledge of the Oral Torah, which is His Word that Christ Jesus came to deliver but they hated Him and in the end, killed Him too for no fault but exposing the hypocrite by the power of His Word. So, Light came among his own people of the Juda tribe but they loved Darkness to keep carrying on fleecing the people. The Temple Priests knew that Jesus is the Christ, the Heir of the Complex (Parable of the Winepress, the Jerusalem School of Theology) and they planned to kill him to occupy the Temple, which they did by Crucifying Him. This they did to show the characteristics of the Eleven Patriarchs who wanted to kill Joseph for telling the Truth to Father Jacob.
John, the Baptist was an Angel called Prophet Elijah (My god is the demiurge Potter Yahweh), a witness to the Light, a true Rabbi in whose name Christ Jesus had 70 outer circle Labourers, Witnesses, to the True Light = His Word = Oral Torah and they went in pairs to baptise the Jewish men in water in the name of Abraham, making them faithful sons of Abraham and Yahweh as the Samaritans were who with the knowledge of His Word picked up the wounded person in Agape and looked after him with the divine Love “Agape”, which is far greater than the tribal love Eros that Moses created in the wilderness and no more fighting among them called lifting up the Satan snake that caused a rift among them. So, under Agape, we should be international Peace Makers lifting the Cobras among the Nations. But most of the Churches employ Priests as the Councils employ the Policemen in uniform. These hireling Dog-Collared Priests work for Mammon and not God. They are Thieves of the order of Judas Iscariot stealing money from the Church Purse and not working as Tent Makers as St. Paul demonstrated and working for God devoted to delivering the Bitter Life-Giving Gospel Truth Sermons that set people free of Mammon devoted to Mammon-Free God rather than delivering the sugar-coated sermons of falsehoods to please their Masters in Mammon and attract more customers into their Anti-Christ business of prayer and fasting as the Disciples of the blind Jewish Rabbis were promoting and creating spiritually blind people hating Christ Jesus. It is the Gospel Truth that creates Philia Love and Peace in Society whereas the Falsehoods create sectarian riots such as Catholics and Protestants. Jesus had clearly stressed that in God, we have One Fold, the Church of God headed by One Mammon-Free Shepherd Christ Jesus and His Apostle Friends, the Saints. Thus, the Churches asking for donations employ the hireling Dog-Collared Priests spiritually dead in the letters, the old wine as the University Professors are today and they create the sectarian riots. So, please think twice before you donate money to the Churches who’s Priests live lavishly on widow's mites. Calling Jesus a Lord that has spiritually slave Disciples is the sign of the Anti-Christ. In Christ Jesus, we have One Father and we are all Brethren in spirit and not physically. Thus, in the Church of God headed by Christ Jesus, we are all Brethren representing and glorifying our Father in honour of Christ Jesus. That is what Christ Jesus Said, "There is niether male nor female, Jew or Gentile, etc. of the physical secular world but Brethren in our spiritual Celestial World of Sadhu Melchizedek". We are the Predestined Royal Priests of our Mammon-Free Royal King Whose Regime in Agape has no end. The secular kings have commandments whilst our Royal King has none to bind you. The Philia Love in which you Preach the Gospel from the Roof-Tops pleases our Father and He will take you into His Fold where we enjoy Storge Love in which there is neither giving nor taking, the Seventh Husband of the woman whose six husbands died without binding her to the secular world of families as the Sadhus do not have the secular ties. Mary Magdalene was a typical example who was Free of the Seven Demons, the rituals represented by the seven candles of Menorah. Much more in my other videos if you are interested; channel One God One Faith.
I do not pray or fast as Supernatural Father Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. from Above the natural world that you can see, greater than the one in heaven, demiurge creator of male and female = Potter, Yahweh, Khuda, Brahma, etc. did in the past alienated under the Rabbis, lives in His Temple and I am a Christ, the Royal Priest dishing His Treasure Free-of-charge and not a Christian of the dead letters, Jewish Leaven. My Father is no more alienated like the demiurge Yahweh, Brahma, Khuda, etc. in heaven but Real Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. and He lives with me in his Temple and teaches me directly to proclaim to the world in honour of our Bridegrooms Christ Jesus and His Second coming Satguru = Christ Nanak Dev Ji of India. I am Christ from Above where Jesus and His Second coming Nanak, the True Vines are Planted by our Father - John 3v11. Very truly I tell you, we speak of what we know, and we testify to what we have perceived through logical reasoning that Brew “Logo = His Word” but still you people do not accept our testimony. 12 I have spoken to you of earthly things such as a Jew is one who is “inwardly - spiritual” and not outwardly in Abraham otherwise the people of Ishmael would be Jew as well - not a single Jew died in the Holocaust but the tribal people misled by their blind guides, the Rabbis and you do not believe; how then will you believe if I speak of ABOVE heavenly things? And Nanak, the second coming of Jesus is and not below people reading the Scriptures and vomiting them out called Christians and Sikhs of beard and turban of appearances and not of heart. Thus, Christs =Satgurus are known to the Christs = Satgurus of the holy spirit, which is common sense called Surti in Hindi and not to the Christians of the Bible = Milk for the once-born babies, the Disciples that are disciplined by the Rabbi. This is what Jesus told the Pharisees and Sadducees who asked His Labourers, "Why don't you pray and fast as the Disciples, the once-born that were disciplined by teaching the moral laws of Moses, of John, the Baptist, an Angel Prophet Elijah that works for the demiurge creator of male and female John, the Baptist, Rabbis, etc. do?" To this our Anointed Elder Brother and Bridegroom Christ Jesus replied "They will do so when Christ, son of God Elohim, Allah, Parbrahm, etc. and of our Mother Holy Spirit, is gone from their hearts and they have become Christians of the dead Scriptures worse than these Rabbis - Matt 12v43-45, then they will pray and fast". Jesus by His Sacrifice as the innocent Lamb of God of Righteousness got rid of the Middle Men, the Rabbis, Pharisees, Pope, Dog-Collared Priests, etc. These hirelings in the Churches steal money from the Church Purse as their salaries and for working for Mammon and not God, they teach you the dead letters of the Scriptures which they had learnt from the Universities and Colleges to get the Licence that binds you in the dead letters as did the slave to the High Priest Rabbis. Their customers are so dead that they still think our Father God is still in heaven alienated and not within us the Temples of God. Such Christians become great blasphemers in their workplaces doing injustices and killing people as Tony Blair and Bush did Saddam Hussein that he had WMD but none were found by a Major General who is running a Ministry in the name of Christ Jesus. He won't proclaim from the Rooftop that Tony Blair and Bush, the War Criminals, were Blasphemers against the Holy Spirit worse than the temple priests who killed our anointed Elder Brother Christ Jesus. Blasphemy is not forgivable and this righteous man of God will PUNISH them soon. So, wake up and use your common sense to know the Gospel Truth and proclaim it from the Rooftops. In Agape, I will make a UA-cam video to glorify God in honour of my Elder Brother Christ Jesus and His second coming Christ Nanak.

Christ Jesus said that if someone misleads a child-like innocent person, then a millstone is tied around his neck and he should be drowned in the deep sea. Now, the USA, the U.K. and other western countries destroyed the homes of people in Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Syria, etc. on false accusations such as the WMD in Iraq but none were found. This is called hypocrisy/Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit and it is not forgivable. Such calamities are expected for people to repay for their atrocities. ua-cam.com/video/lbqLQZN_hsQ/v-deo.html
Moses gave us the written Torah, the oral Torah is what was used to reject Messiah. That’s why Jesus said search the scriptures for it is they that speak of me. Except for Isaiah 53 had they gone to the written Torah they would have found him there, but none the less the words of the prophet had to be for filled.

Trinitarians call Jesus the God man, how can they come up with such non sense!
Jesus is YHWH (Acts 2:21).
@kardiognostesministries8150 that's not what the verse says!
@kardiognostesministries8150 who was the God of our ancestors? Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham? Can you name him? YAHWEH!
@@franciscogutierrez3095 Peter applies YWH from Joel 3:5 (Septuagint) in reference to Jesus being the Lord in Acts 2:21.
Thus, Jesus is YHWH.
@kardiognostesministries8150 that's an assumption and nothing more, Read this verse and note that Yahweh is not Jesus, Acts 5:30 if you believe for some reason this verse is not talking about 2 separate beings, let me know why!!!
It's obvious He doesn't have the spirit of revelation
Another question: In relation to 1 Corinthians 11:3 Jesus Christ is subordinate to His Heavenly Father. Who is this so-called 'third person' of the Godhead subordinate to?
There's no subordination spiritually bc that would make the deity of Jesus lesser than the Father. It would lead to HOMOOUSIOS (similar substance) rather than HOMOIOUSIOS (same substance)

@@davidmoorman7062 nope. That's not what happened to us or to Jesus. The Triune God created man from the earth. Jesus always was & is existing before & after the incarnation.

-->1 Corinthians 15:28 ~ *_"And when all things have been subjected to Him (Jesus), then the Son Himself will be made SUBJECT to Him (God-YAHWEH) who put all things under Him, so that God may be all in all."_*
The Trinity is not the ultimate understanding of who God is but on the other hand, it's our understanding of God in His mysterious operations!
Hence, no Pastor/Preacher/Teacher/Evangelist/Scholar can/will say they have absolute comprehension of the Trinity!
So, it's not our absolute understanding of God but our best understanding of Him!
Thank you for your very well phrased answer. I agree with what you say. We only know in part whilst here on earth ( 1 Cor.13) but despite our limited understanding of the Trinity we know by faith that there is only one Saviour - Jesus Christ and through Him we have eternal life.
Who coined the word trinitas or trinity and who formulated the doctrine of the trinity?
"The doctrine of one God is the oldest doctrine known to man. It's as old as God himself."~Lee Stoneking
@wjdyr6261 Good day. If you look in any Byble which contains a concordance, and look for Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit, you will "see" the Trinity of God. It does not have to be written in explicit words "Trinity" to understand the concept. Jesus says in 1John that He is going to the Father but that He will send another Comforter to be with us forever. How can He go to Himself, and send Himself back? Regards.

THE FALSE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY
Choose consultants wisely....
So a rock exists, but it's not a person. Jesus exists and he's a person. God the father exists because he created everything in existence, except Jesus and the Holy Spirit. We can picture God the father as a wise yet stern whitebeard sitting on a cloud. But if the Holy Spirit is a person, how is that? We can't imagine what it looks like, and unlike a rock, it doesn't exist.
The holy spirit does exist boss
@@boosminogstatus6460 It's an interesting idea certainly, like shakti: some sort of invisible energy that we feel sometimes coursing through our body. Like adrenalin. God the Father can be glimpsed in the Old Testament chatting to Lot, and Jesus gets about a bit in the New Testament being seen and so on. But we never see the Holy Ghost: strange. Perhaps the Holy Ghost is an emanation of God - the three-personed God. Like God, he can't be seen or described, just indicated.
If there is only one God and Father who is in us all, and He is a Spirit, and we are all in that one Spirit, and that one Spirit is the one Lord God, where is there another spirit who is distinctly different from Him?
Ephesians 4:6 KJV
*_One God and Father of all,_* who is above all, and through all, *_and in you all._*
1 Corinthians 6:17 KJV
But he that is joined unto the Lord *_is one spirit._*
2 Corinthians 3:17 KJV
*_Now the Lord is that Spirit:_* …
John 14:26
But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.
Matthew 28:19
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son (and) of the HOLY SPIRIT,
John 14:16-17
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with you and will be in you.
Ephesians 1:13
In him you also, when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation, and believed in him, were sealed with the promised Holy Spirit,
John 15:26
“But when the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness about me.
God is not nor should He be easily explained. But yet, it's His great desire to make Himself known to us. He is ONE God, yes, but with 3 distinct and separate Persons. This He also explained to Israel in the Old Testament. We see the trinity in how God instructed the building of the temple...ONE temple/tabernacle, but with 3 divisions. ONE Ark of the Covenant, but 3 things on the inside. Noah's ark was ONE vessel but with 3 levels. In the OT God declares "I, the Lord your God is ONE God." When you look that up in the Hebrew, the word "Lord" used there is the plural form. In Genesis 1: 1-3 We read of God, the Spirit of God and the Word of God which speaks and says "Let their be light". Jesus (the Son) IS the Word. In the New Testament, John writes: "In the beginning was the WORD, and the word IS God. Jesus refers to Himself as the Son. And he speaks of His Father, and He speaks of the Holy Spirit whom will come. We don't understand. God is not asking us to "understand", just to KNOW.
@@twelve5church Notice below that Jesus spoke of Himself often “in the third person”, not about a third person being another god. Jesus said “He” is the Spirit of Truth, He is the Comforter (He told us that in John 14:18), He said He is going away and won't be found - except His followers will find Him, and will see Him, because He will manifest Himself to us, and come to live in each believer. These are all clarifying truths of who the Holy Spirit is - it is the Spirit of the Lord, which He gave to Jesus upon His Ascension (Acts 2:33). This is the glory that they shared together for all of eternity - the Spirit of the invisible, immortal Almighty God. Jesus first poured out this promise of the Father (His Holy Spirit), upon believers at Pentecost (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4). This same “promise of the Father” that Jesus received, and every believer receives, is a portion of the Father's Spirit (Apostle Paul calls it the Father's “SELFSAME” Spirit (1Cor 12:11), meaning no other God, or no other person's Spirit, but only the Spirit belonging to the one being identified as having the Spirit, which is the Father, so there can be no third person god who takes the Spirit away from the Father). The Father divides a portion of His selfsame Spirit among His children, through Christ (Gal 4:6).
(2Cor 3:17) *_Now the Lord is that Spirit:_* ...
(John 14:16) And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that *_he may abide with you for ever;_*

@@kristenspencer9751 You have taken a presupposition of a 3-person godhead and inserted into Scripture. What is the image of God in His Creation? Mankind, which He named Adam, and Adam is two - the male and female (who become one). Almighty God in the Old Testament is two who are one - Almighty God and the Word. In the New Testament, there are two in the Godhead - the invisible God, who is a Spirit, and Jesus Christ, the Word of God (Who was God in the Old Testament), and Who became a visible man. In both Testaments, God is two who are one, in one Spirit (not two gods who are both spirits, totaling three) but one God, who is one Spirit. If God is three, then His image would have been three, and three who become one. But Jesus never stated He was one with three, and He never prayed that His followers would be one with three of them. The true God is exactly what Apostle John told us in 1John 5:20, the Father and the Son only (and they share the one Spirit, who is the Lord God - Acts 2:33). You will find nowhere in the New Testament Epistles that describes a third person god having God's spirit (1John 5:7 in the King James was “discovered” in the 17th Century, it is not in the original manuscript, and no other translations insert it, because it's not true). No third person ever appears on the throne of God in either Testament, including on the throne of God and the Lamb in the eternal Kingdom. The Father made a Son, He never duplicated Himself, rather He claims there is NONE other than Himself. These are all rather glaring omissions below, even from Jesus Himself, if it is true there is a third god.

@philjackson5387 You need to reconsider your statement. Your belief that the Son physically appeared in the Old Testament is flawed. You are pointing to a verse that contains the prophecy, prototype, and shadow of the Messiah, which were all fulfilled in the New Testament. However, your understanding of the scripture is influenced by the Trinity teaching rather than the Holy Spirit, which causes you to compromise other scriptures, as you did with Hebrews 1:1-3. It is impossible for the Son to already be present if he was not yet begotten. This means that Paul lied in Hebrews 1:1-3 when he stated that the Father spoke in the Son in the last days and did so in the days of the prophets. You must address this dilemma, and you cannot blame the spirit of the Trinity for putting you in this predicament, you accepted it, without discerning it.
With this video I learned..
Against Oneness.. saying the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost is One God..
If One then The Father was Also Crucified even the Holy Spirit.. make sense.. there is ONE GOD, The Father, His Word, And His Spirit..
Genesis 1:26
[26]Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
The Father came in the form of flesh and the flesh was crucified and not the spirit. The Father Himself is that Spirit and that Spirit is the Holy Spirit.

The Father' Sent His Son, His Word who made Flesh, it is not the Father' who took the form of a servant..
@@nicoleela2617 Do you mean to say that because He is just the "IMAGE of the Father" He is not THE Father? Isa 54:5 also uses the word "called". Does that mean that God is the image of another God? There is only one "EVERLASTING" Father and there is only one "MIGHTY GOD". No one BECOMES a mighty God and then He is called so. The definition of God itself proves the eternal quality of the Being. So, neither this Godhood can be passed on to someone else nor can the title be earned. Jesus is the essence of the Father and hence the expressed image of the Father. By Him ALL things were made. He is the Creator. Anything that is not God is created by Him, whether seen or unseen and there is just One God. If you believe that these are 3 distinct persons and are equal with God then are there 3 distinct Gods? You don't find it anywhere in the scriptures. Either you have to believe that Jesus is a lesser God or He is God or there are more than one God, in that case. You cannot say there is only one God and then say there are three distinct persons, which itself defeats the claim of oneness.
When the scriptures say the "Word was God", does it mean the same God the Father or a different God?
We cannot understand the three - Father, Son and the Holy Spirit but to the best of my knowledge, the closest illustration I can give you is the river. River is God, water is the Son and the force of it is the Holy Spirit. When I say 'river' then I surely include water and the power with which it flows.
Read John 17, see how many times he speaks of being one......if we fail to understand God's Word, His Truth, it is often because we overthink and overcomplicate foundational Truth. Sometimes we can question God's Truth because we think we are too smart to fall for nonsense. There is a clear difference between a paradox and a contradiction. The Trinity is a contradiction to those who cannot see through the apparent paradox....

The Trinity is the Father fully God, the Son (Christ) fully God, and the Holy Ghost fully God, however, the Father is not the Son, nor is the Son the Father, and the Spirit is not the Son, nor is the Spirit the Father. They are all distinct from each other. Yet there are not three Gods (elohim), but One God (Eloah). How is it that not one verse in the Bible states: “God is One in three persons”?
It is common among Christians who tend to think and believe that the Trinity is established in the Bible, who insist on the belief of the Trinity of three co-equal, co-eternal Persons in the One God is biblical. And yet increasingly, many very well-known Bible Scholars do not think Christ is God in a Trinitarian sense, based on the lack of evidence in the Old and New Testaments. Therefore, many distinguished scholars maintain that the doctrine of the Trinity is not taught anywhere in the Bible. Trinitarians promote two verses, which are Matthew 28:19 and 1 John 5:7, however, these two pillars of Trinitarianism are proven interpolations, that is words that were added to Scripture much later into the original biblical text.
While the doctrine of the Trinity is not taught in the New Testament and never revealed by God in the Old Testament, it was first formulated by Christian bishops in the 4th century, that is three hundred years after Christ, and who attempted to understand the relationship between Christ and the Father in three main Church Councils, The Council of Nicaea (325), The Council of Constantinople (381), and The Council of Ephesus (431). Those men who participated in three councils sought to define God on their terms without one thus says the LORD, and not one provable proof text

History does not reveal that the apostles ever knew of the Trinity Doctrine, that is: “The Father is God, the Son is God, the Holy Ghost is God, and yet not three gods (elohim), one God (eloah), equally important, the Father is not the Son, and the Son is not the Holy Ghost, therefore, each is a separate Person of the Godhead.” Trinitarians have placed two major interpolations in the New Testament to artificially establish the Trinity. To sum up the findings of historians, H.G. Wells stated, “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from him” (THE OUTLINE OF HISTORY, Vol. 2, p. 499).
“Primitive (Apostolic) Christianity did not have an explicit doctrine of the Trinity such as was subsequently elaborated in the creeds of the early (4th century) church” (see “God”, THE NEW INTERNATIONAL DICTIONARY of NEW TESTAMENT THEOLOGY, Vol. 2, 1976, p. 84).
First interpolation: 1 John 5:7-8. Modern Biblical scholarship agrees that 1 John 5:7 seen in Latin and Greek texts after the 4th century and found in later translations such as the King James Bible Translation, cannot be found in the oldest Greek and Latin texts. Verse 7 is known as the Johannine Comma, an interpolation, which most scholars agree to be a later addition by a later Trinitarian copyist, also classified as a textual gloss, but not part of the original text. This verse reads: “Because there are three in Heaven that testify - the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit - these three are one.”
This verse is absent from the original Aramaic, Syriac, Slavic, early Armenian, Georgian, Ethiopian, and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament. It is primarily found in later Latin manuscripts, although some Greek, Slavonic, and late Armenian manuscripts contain it.
Second Interpolation: Matthew 28:19. States, Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…” Matthew 28:19 is quoted by Trinitarians as evidence for the Trinity. However, it is an interpolation into the Text. Respected Bible scholars say that the formula was an insertion and that it originally stated: “Go and make disciples of all nations in my name.”
Matthew 28:19 is the only verse in the entire New Testament with the “Trinity” formula.” All other verses point to baptism being performed in the Name of Christ alone. Take for example Apostle Peter in Acts, who promoted baptisms in the name of the Lord. See the following verses:
Acts 2:38 - “Then Peter said to them, “Repent and let every one of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 8:16 - For as yet He had fallen upon none of them. They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.
Acts 10:48 - So Peter ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus the Messiah. Then they asked him to stay there for several days.
If Matthew 28:19 is true and genuine, and Jesus did command His disciples to baptize ”in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” then why would Peter go against a commandment and baptize only in His name? Well, the answer lies in the Text.
Most beneficial and clearly presented! Thank you, Dr. White!🙏📖
If Dr.White is clear then Jesus is not all, by saying the Father is the only true God. If the Father is the only true God then there cannot be another.
Things are not what they seem. Trinitarians dominate Christianity so much so that they would have you believe that if you are not a Trinitarian, you are not a Christian. This is not true. Historically, Christianity has not always been controlled by the Trinitarians or their Doctrine. There was no defined Trinitarian doctrine for the first three hundred years of the history of the Christian Church. But to listen to Trinitarians, you would think Christ taught His disciples the Trinity, or at the very least God revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity to the church from the beginning. No such teaching or revelation from God was ever given, nor was the Trinity made essential for believers according to the Bible.
Yet, according to Trinitarians, the doctrine of the Trinity is considered sacred and fundamental, and most Trinitarians view it as the litmus test for defining who is and is not a Christian. Only ignorance would allow such a thing. The audacity of the Trinitarians to threaten one’s very salvation! James White has publicly stated, “We (Trinitarians) hang a person’s very salvation upon the acceptance of the doctrine… We must know, understand, and love the Trinity to be fully and completely Christian” (The Forgotten Trinity, pp. 14-15). And yet, no one can understand the Trinity. Scholars have acknowledged this, “The mind of man cannot fully understand the mystery of the Trinity. He who has tried to understand the mystery fully will lose his mind; but he who would deny the Trinity will lose his soul” (Harold Linsell and Charles Woodbridge, A Handbook of Christian Truth, pp. 51). This Trinitarian Doctrine produces confusion, and this confusion is not from the God of the Bible (1 Corinthians 14:33).
Where did this doctrine of the Trinity come from? “The term ‘Trinity’ is not itself found in the Bible. It was first used by Tertullian at the close of the 2nd century but received wide currency and formal elucidation only after the 4th and 5th centuries” (see “Trinity,” New Bible Dictionary, 1996). “Precisely what that doctrine is, or rather precisely how it is to be explained, Trinitarians are not agreed among themselves” (see “Trinitarians,” A Dictionary of Religious Knowledge).
Biblically, God never revealed the Doctrine of the Trinity, then how did the church come to accept it? From history, we get the answer, “The doctrine developed gradually over several centuries and many controversies…It was not until the 4th century that the distinctness of the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons” (The New Encyclopedia Britannica, Vol. 11, p. 928, 1985 ed.). “There is no evidence that the apostles of Jesus ever heard of the trinity-at any rate from Him” (H.G. Wells, The Outline of History, Vol. 2, p. 499, 1920). Over 3 hundred years after Christ, this doctrine of God being Triune took over the church as essential to our salvation! What of all the believers who accepted Christ before the 4th century, but had no idea that belief in the Trinity was a requirement for their salvation?
Is the demand by Trinitarians that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation a form of legalism? What is legalism? Have not Trinitarians laid down the law that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved? In Christian theology, "legalism" is a pejorative term applied to the idea that "by doing good works or by obeying the law, a person earns and merits salvation." If men, whether by popular belief or by group or clergy, place a prerequisite, a stipulation, or insist upon a certain belief upon one so that they would receive salvation is this not a form of legalism? Only Christ, by the will of the Father, can place prerequisites, stipulations, and beliefs upon one to receive salvation without falling under “legalism.” Therefore, Christ made no requirement that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation, then it follows that the stipulation that one must believe in the Trinity would be a form of legalism caused by Trinitarians. There is no requirement by Christ that one must believe in the Trinity to receive salvation.
Where did the idea of the Trinity come from since God never revealed the concept of the Trinity? Edward Gibbon, a noted historian, gives this answer, “If paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism. The pure Deism of the first Christians…was changed by the Church…into the incomprehensible dogma of the Trinity” (The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, p. xvi, 1883). The Trinity finds its birth in the West according to Pagan Greek philosophy. Were we not warned about this by the apostle Paul, who wrote, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ” (Colossians 2:8). Rise up in truth all Christians and throw off this heavy yoke of Trinitarian bondage to a false doctrine never revealed by Christ. It is false that one must believe in the Trinity to be saved. Christ is God because His God and Father gave Him all things, and all things are committed to Him. Christ said, “All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him” (Matthew 11:27).
@@S.R.M. Is God omnipresent?
@@rosslewchuk9286 Yes, God the Father is the all and all God, who gave all things to the Son of God YAHSHUA (1 Corinthians 15:20-28).
Omni=all. Because all things were given to the Son, He alone is our God, for His God and Father gave Him all power, all dominion over us until sin and death are no more.
When sin and death are no more, then our Lord God and Savior, the Son of God, by His revealed name YAHSHUA, will turn all things back over to His Father and God, who gave Him all things (Matthew 11:27).
YAH=I AM, as Christ YAHSHUA told the people, that He is YAH, "the I AM" (John 8:58), HaYAH, not ehyeh. YAH=I AM, shua=my help, as in my "salvation." Behold the revealed name of the Savior, "YAHSHUA!" YAHSHUA=I AM Salvation
YAH is "the name which is above every name" (Philippians 2:9-11).
YAH is Christ, and this is why the Savior's name is YAHSHUA, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).
"Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For YAH, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation’” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).
The traditions of men say, "Jesus," but the revelation of God says, "YAHSHUA!" Since there is no other name by which we must be saved, the names Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names based on the Transliteration of Yeshua, and the transformations of Iesus and Jesus.
What happens if I reject the very revealed name from heaven, YAHSHUA?
“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God" (John 3:18). Believe in the name of YAHSHUA and live! There is only one name by which we must be saved, however, few there be that find it.
YAHSHUA said, “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and [d]difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it" (Matthew 7:13-14).
Many say, "I speak English, so I say, 'Jesus.' And I have seen demons cast out in the name of Jesus, and many wonders. My prayers have been answered in the name of Jesus." And will you stand by a name, Jesus, never revealed by God? Do you not know that God is good to both the good and the bad?
Are you prepared to be told, "I Never Knew You"?
In Matthew 7:21-23, “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’"
Many priest and pastors teach the name Jesus, which was never revealed by God, and this makes them workers of lawlessness.
@@S.R.M. Is God omniscient?
Trinity = Tri-unity - expressed in the Bible? Yes, check.
There is only one God - expressed in the Bible? Yes, check
God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit - expressed in the Bible? Yes, check.
The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are in unity and operate in harmony? - expressed in the Bible? Yes, check.
Doctrine of the Trinity as an explanation of the nature of God? - expressed in the Bible? Yes, check.
There is no trinity in the scriptures, no triune God exists. Jesus - the directly concerned Person - had NO IDEA of what a trinity is supposed to be: He not even spoke ONE word about the existence of a triune God! He always said that God is made by A. the Father and B. the Son: "I am in the Father and the Father in me". The Holy Spirit is NOT a THIRD Person. The Father - dwelling in Jesus - is A SPIRIT. He is either called "Holy Father" or "Holy Spirit" by Jesus.
I am amazed with the ad hominen comments in this section. You all should have respect for a fellow human. That being said, i have to remind some of you that all you critics here would not last 5 minutes in a debate with Dr. White, wich have as of now, done more than 180 debates with some of the most prominent debaters in the world, from various denominations and religions of the world.
God bless you Dr.White, and thank you for clarifying this very important doctrine for us.
His doctrine of God is wrong. The trinity is pagan and man-made doctrine. The doctrine of demons
You are honoring a man who deceived you into believing that the Father is not the only true God and made Jesus a liar in John 17:3, by claiming that there are two other persons that are not the Father and are also GODS. As you already know, the Father is not 3 persons, but God is. It is clear from John 17:3 that Jesus didn't teach this, and Paul confirmed it in 1 Corinthians 8:6. It's time to acknowledge and accept the truth.
Dr. White is a very confused man. Pray for him to find the truth.
Why wasn't Acts 2:38 corrected in the NAB to say ; Peter said to them, Repent & be baptized, every 1 of you, in the name of the Father, & the Son, & the holy Spirit for the forgiveness of your sins; & you will receive the 3rd person of the trinity, the holy Spirit ? How do you teach the trinity when in Galatians
you bump heads with Paul when he says in 1:8-9 pg.277 ;But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach (to you) a gospel other than the 1 that we preached to you, let that 1 be accursed! As we have said before, & now I say again, if any 1 preaches to you a gospel other than the 1 that you received, let that 1 be accursed! (NAB) 2nd Peter 1:20-21 pg. 362 n t Know this 1st of all, that there is no prophecy of scripture that is a matter of personal interpretation, for no prophecy ever came through human will; but rather human beings moved by the holy Spirit spoke under the influence
of God. The trinity was introduced by Tertullian , here is your if any 1 ! I was baptized Acts 2:38, it's no to late for you
The passage you quote in Galatians is accurate, but baptism isn't the gospel. Paul is saying he preached the Gospel, and they corrupted that Gospel, and there is no other Gospel. Then he explains where he received the Gospel and how he verified the Gospel with James, Peter, and John. Then he tells them what the Gospel is and how they corrupted it (2:15-21). Then he explains how they changed the Gospel (chapter 3). The Gospel isn't "go and be baptized," the Gospel is that we are saved by grace through faith - not works. Galatians is very clear about this.
@@theopneustos3712 What about other scriptures like:
Mark 16:16: "Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
Galatians 3:27: "For all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ."
Romans 6:3-4: "Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life."
1 Peter 3:21: "And this water symbolizes baptism that now saves you also-not the removal of dirt from the body but the pledge of a clear conscience toward God. It saves you by the resurrection of Jesus Christ."
Even where the Bible says that they believed and were saved, it still shows that they were baptized:
Acts 16:30-33: "He then brought them out and asked, 'Sirs, what must I do to be saved?' They replied, 'Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved-you and your household.'
Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all the others in his house.
At that hour of the night, the jailer took them and washed their wounds; then immediately he and all his household were baptized."
Faith is essential but Faith without any action is not enough:
James 2:26: For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Because Mt. 28: 19-20 is the formula for Acts 2:38 in the Name “ singular usage here” this is confirmed by Acts 4:12 for there is none other name again singular here. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost are titles not names, they are all described in the name Jesus being interpreted Jehovah Savior. Or to say as the Scripture says God our Savior. Hope this helps your understanding.

Just a note more. Peter never said be baptized father,son and Holy Spirit. Peter said in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sin, ...... KJV. The NSB IS A altered version made to push a false agenda, a further attempt to dilute the word until the truth is lost.

This dude got a giant EGO. In his mind, he cant be wrong about anything.
The trinity is NOT taught in OT Scripture nor was it taught by Messiah, nor was it taught by the Apostles. Tertullian who was a stoic philosopher before turning to christianity introduced the false doctrine of the trinity and was not excepted by the church until the late 300's.

Psalm 110:1
The LORD says to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool.”
Matthew 22:41-45
Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question: “What do you think about the Christ, whose son is He?” They said to Him, “The son of David.” He said to them, “Then how does David in the Spirit call Him ‘Lord,’ saying, ‘The Lord said to my Lord,
“Sit at My right hand,
Until I put Your enemies beneath Your feet”’? If David then calls Him ‘Lord,’ how is He his son?”

Isaiah 54:5 For your Maker is your husband, the LORD of hosts is his name; the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer, the God of the whole earth he is called...
The word translated, "Maker" is plural in Hebrew..which is a second Hebrew word that is plural that is used of God.

"And now the Sovereign LORD has sent me, with his Spirit. This is what the LORD says - your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: "I am the LORD your God, who teaches you what is best for you, who directs you in the way you should go....anyone who studies Isaiah knows that it is prophecy about Christ. In this scripture we should recognize this is God the Son speaking.
What difference does it make What Tertullian was before his conversion? Moses was a murderer....Paul persecuted Christians, we were all confused & sinners before conversion.
Ignatius lived 30-107 a.d. and wrote the following:
“Study, therefore, to be established in the doctrines of the Lord and the apostles, that so all things, whatsoever ye do, may prosper both in the flesh and spirit; in faith and love; in the Son, and in the Father, and in the Spirit. . . . Be ye subject to the bishop, and to one another, as Jesus Christ to the Father, according to the flesh, and the apostles to Christ, and to the Father, and to the Spirit.”
Although he viewed God the Father as "the one true God" he also wrote,(whoever) “declares that there is but one God, only so as to take away the divinity of Christ, is a devil.”....and also he recorded, "“To the church . . . elected through the true passion by the will of the Father, and Jesus Christ our God.” “For our God, Jesus Christ was, according to appointment of God conceived in the womb of Mary . . . God Himself being manifested in human form for the renewal of eternal life.”
So, to say that the doctrine(teaching) of the "Trinity" was not around until the 300's is simply not true...it would be fair to say that the word "Trinity" or "Triune" may not have been recorded, but it was certainly understood.
Justin Martyr & Irenaeus also wrote on the deity of Christ & The Holy Spirit.
Why would Jesus say :
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, (Mt. 28:19) instead of just YHWH???🤔

(THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT)
THE GLORY OF THE HOLY SPIRIT:
2Co 3:7 But if the ministration of death, written and engraven in stones, was glorious, so that the *children of Israel could not stedfastly behold the face of Moses for the glory of his countenance; which glory was to be done away*:
2Co 3:8 *How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious*?
2Co 3:9 *For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more doth the ministration of righteousness exceed in glory*.
2Co 3:10 For even that which was made glorious had no glory in this respect, *by reason of the glory that excelleth*.
2Co 3:11 *For if that which is done away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious*.
2Co 3:12 *Seeing then that we have such hope*, we use great plainness of speech:
2Co 3:13 And not as Moses, which put a vail over his face, that the children of Israel could not stedfastly look to the end of that which is abolished:
2Co 3:14 But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; *which vail is done away in Christ*.
2Co 3:15 But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart.
2Co 3:16 *Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away*.
2Co 3:17 *Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty*.
2Co 3:18 *But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord*.
THE GLORY OF GOD’S SPIRIT FILLED THE TABERNACLE:
Exo 40:34 Then a cloud covered the tent of the congregation, and the *glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle*.
Exo 40:35 And *Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle*.
1Co 3:16 *Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you*?
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; *for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are*.
John 5:37
