Introduction to the Three Divine Persons

Is God One (according to scripture) or is God Three (according to tradition)?

This series is dedicated to my teacher and helper ... To the only wise God our Saviour!

I am fully aware that this series of articles exposing "the Most Holy Trinity" teaching is going to isolate me in some cases and may mean I loose you as a friend. I also am aware that it is very hard to break mindsets ingrained within people, from a lifetime of instilled tradition to the teaching systems people are introduced to as they enter a denomination or a cult. Most of us have been there, haven't we? Through the various subtle forms of manipulation and brainwashing techniques organizations use. Moreso in the religious sense; even with good intentions a lot of the time. The very reason we need the mind of Christ on issues and our senses trained to rightly divide the word of truth. Gotcha Bible ready? Or should I say, gotcha sword sharpened? It's double edged you know! Meaning, it not only cuts and exposes but reveals and portions the true meat of God.

As always, my line to others would be not to follow what I say (or anyone else for that matter) but to take everything to the Lord, making His written word the final authority in your life. Also, being prepared to go for broke for the truth as 2 Cor. 13:8 says ... "For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the truth."

As I have said before a number of times, not one person on this so-called planet holds the full truth (I'm afraid this does mean you will have to fire your guru or spiritual mentor or human proxy). However, if you believe the Bible you hold in your hand is God's word (that's fully without error - coz if it is aint, it can't be God's word) then you may not have all the truth within yourself (stating the obvious again), but what you hold in your little wee hand will be the truth, and nothing but the truth. Coupled with full access to divine revelation through the Holy Ghost.

Amazing? Yes! Hard to take in? Yes! But true nevertheless! Coz God's reliable word says so! Do ya believe it!?

Okay, with this first truth hopefully established (bearing in mind this will cause a hugh battle in the minds of individuals alone) that you do not possess all the truth within yourself, but can hold and access God's written word in tangible form, as well as getting God's mind on things (above mans), then please consider this point (really giving it much thought):

The scripture is very clear about two things ... that God is one and that there is but one God. Right? Furthermore, every sphere within established Christendom would largely agree with this, but would also (additionally) state, "although God is one, He (now sometimes She) is expressed or revealed as Three separate people within this Oneness called God." Right again?

Taking this further, as the religious system does ... by saying God is One, while at the same time saying He is three separate people (in eternal agreement as three coequal persons together), you will have no way of avoiding having to go along with this also ... "no one can say He is three Gods and be correct." Isn't that how it goes, within the system? Furthermore, do you know why? By reading these treatises you will be fully informed and know why. Why not discover this now? Or at least give it some prayerful and serious consideration? Because to put it in a nutshell, before we go any further, and the reason you can say, "God is three eternal co equals, as three eternal persons, but never Three Gods," is because if you ever have to adhere to Him being three Gods to make sense out of this paradox, or see the contradiction the Trinity holds and fully question it, you will both see and end up back at the very beginning. Back at the Trinity's origin that is, pre Christian, as a pagan deity staring you right in the face.

Moving on and rounding off this intro ... let me make this statement plain and clear, that cannot or should never be ignored: In reality, you cannot call the Godhead "the three Divine Persons" but be forbidden to call the Godhead "three Gods". This is plain crazy, if you really think about it (which you are not supposed to do, as the Trinity apparently can't be explained). It is an oxymoron at best or a contradiction at worst, and something you could never go along with, if this truth hit home and you were serious about the word.

Who calls God three divine persons anyway? The answer is simple ... it is the teaching, endorsement, or (at best) the notion of Christendom. Please view this web site for a start. The evidence is clear, graphic and overwhelming. Here is a direct quote from this site (my emphasis) ... "In Orthodox terminology the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are called three divine persons."

In addition, the teaching that God is "not made up of "Three Gods" but "Three Divine Persons" is widespread, official, and accepted throughout the mainstream denominations in general. Please key in "three divine persons" at google.com and see what you get?

Basically, this is not sound doctrine and cannot be effected or exposed as a lie, coz this will bring this whole "three separate individual divine persons" issue under scrutiny. Ask yourself this ... if 'a divine person' is not 'a god' then what is? If you are still with me, here'z the simple comparison between the spirit of truth and the spirit of error:
