Introduction to the Three Divine Persons
Is God One (according to scripture) or is God Three (according to tradition)?
Firstly, this series is dedicated
to my
teacher and helper ... "the only wise God our Saviour!"
Secondly, 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 when issues are at stake, with our senses trained to rightly divide the word of truth.
Therefore ... 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 from the cover fat and other impurities.
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 does not hold back from ... "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). 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 after all (stating the obvious again - or does that shatter your world?). However, what you happen to hold in your little wee hand (namely the Holy Bible) will be the truth, and nothing but the truth. Coupled with allowing you to have 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 huge battle in the minds of individuals alone) that you do not possess all the truth within yourself, but at the same time, 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. However, most of these spheres would also both, additionally and contradictorily state ... "although God is one, He (now sometimes She) is expressed, or revealed, as Three separate people within this Oneness called God." Is this not true also?
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 regularly made point also ... "no one can say He is three Gods and be correct!"
Isn't that how it goes, within the system? In regards to the ban on saying God is made up of three Gods! 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 should never be able to say that the Godhead is "the three Divine Persons", but be forbidden to call the Godhead "three Gods" at the same time. 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)! Or, it is an oxymoron at best, or a contradiction at worst! Moreover, being 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 google "three divine persons", and see what happens? Thatz ... 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, while the Mainstream churches get their way. The reason? Coz this would bring the whole "three - separate - individual - divine persons" issue right under scrutiny, where it should be.
Therefore, 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:
According
to
tradition ... the three
distinct and three
divine persons
acting as God!:
This is supposedly ... God the Father (the older man), God the Son (the younger man), and God the Holy Spirit (the effeminate man or lady).
Yes, the three distinct (and tangible) men, who supposedly came down and interfered with Babel. It is also the three who supposedly came and ate with Abraham, to warn him of Sodom's coming fate. As well as the three who supposedly and (therefore) contradictorily dwell eternally and coequally together, as one in the Godhead.
According to scripture ... the word of God!:
Jude 1:25: "To the only wise God our Saviour"!
As 1 John 4:6: "We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error."
Who is of God? Welcome to the following treatises! I hope you will "heareth us" and be enlightened, informed, and changed; as you endeavour to swallow the meat and spit out the bones:
