Bible Questions and Answers

Why do you people not believe in Trinity?

The doctrine of the Trinity is a false doctrine unsupported by scripture. The doctrine was adopted in AD 325, at the First Council of Nicaea, as the Church slipped into Apostasy.

Those who cobbled the doctrine together admit that it is ‘incomprehensible’ which it clearly is. The notion that God (the Father), His Son, and His power, are three equal persons and yet not three but One is nonsense.

Jesus is the Son of God. He is subject to God not equal to him. He is ‘one with God’ in purpose, not in ‘substance’. He came into existence by the action of the power of God (the Holy Spirit) upon Mary which caused her to conceive and bring forth a son.

• Luke 1:35 …The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.

From this we see that the Holy Spirit = power of the highest (i.e. the power of God).
Thus the Holy Spirit is the power of God, not a person. If this were not so, Jesus would be the son of the Holy Spirit, not the son of the Father.

Before he was born, Jesus existed only in the plan and purpose of God and his birth was prophesied in the word of God in the Old Testament scriptures.

No one has seen God at any time.

• John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him.

God could not die to save his people, so he did the next best thing. He fathered a Son who was a man exactly like all men in that he experienced the same temptations; but had the strength of character to overcome them.

• Hebrews 2:14 Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,
• Hebrews 2:17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

Because he did not sin, God could accept his life as a perfect sacrifice for the sins of the faithful of all ages. Jesus really did die. Were he God, he could not have died.

In death, according to scripture, we cease to exist. Our faculties perish and in process of time we return to dust. Because he had not sinned, Jesus did not deserve death, so God raised him from the dead on the third day and gave him the divine nature.

Acts 2:24 Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Jesus manifested his Father in his character.

• John 14:8  Philip said to Him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us." 9  Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

Jesus was the word of God ‘made flesh’ in that he was the redeemer promised in the word of God through his prophets. He exhibited the attributes of his Father.

• John 1:14 And the word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
