The TRUE Meaning and Misunderstanding of Colossians 1:16 and 1:17.

We continue from Colossians 15 to Colossians 16, and 17.  

Colossians 1:16:  

For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. All things were created through Him and for Him.  

Most of Christianity believe Paul is teaching here that the whole of the Genesis creation was created by or through Jesus. 

I was one who was deceived by believing this, until my countless debates with Unitarians and Mr Buzzard for over 2 years helped open my heart, mind and eyes, to then force me to go back to the pages of the bible and redo my research through new glasses, to then come to a new understanding and surprising unknown fact proving to be a new revelation for me, that was disclosed to Unitarians, which I now share with many today.  

The Simple Biblical facts:  

The simple understanding is the fact that if the whole world was created by GOD with His Son alive WITH Him and next to him and doing the creating through Him, then WHY was this NOT ever taught or said or mentioned by GOD the Father Himself?  

GOD would have simply said: By Yahweh’s (SON), the heavens were made; all their army by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:6.

And as GOD the father only ever declares He is the creator of all things ALONE, then if Jesus was alive and with GOD doing the creating THROUGH Jesus, then we have countless contradictions against what GOD said that He is the creator of all things ALONE.

If there are contradictions against what GOD said, then that should raise a RED flag.

However what we find is that Jesus or the (Son) is not mentioned by GOD the Father, but instead we read: By Yahweh’s (word), the heavens were made. and on close examination we find the (word) is simply GODS spoken word from His mouth, His speech, command and authority, which is seen in the end part of the verse: by the (breath of his mouth)  Psalm 33:6.  
And should instead say by the (SON) Psalm 33:6, If GOD created all things THROUGH His Son Jesus.

We also find in countless scriptures (GOD) is always a singular verb, as: (I), He, Me, Him, by myself, and GOD always tells us He is on His own doing the creating with no one beside Him, and again Jesus is never, ever mentioned by GOD the Father to be WITH Him alive, and that GOD is working through His Son CREATING the whole world, just as we read GOD say He created all thing (by my self in Isaiah 44:24: Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: “I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;  

Notice how we even read GOD the Fathers name (Yahweh) is in the Hebrew translations, that has been removed from most of the modern Trinitarian translations, which is truly shocking, because GOD the Fathers name (Yahweh) IDENTIFIES GOD the Father as GOD ALONE,  as ONE BEING, and NOT THREE BEINGS.  

So these simple Biblical facts prove the understanding by MOST within the Christian population today is wrong and false and is another GREAT and terrible deception MOST have been deceived into believing, that Jesus was WITH GOD before all creation, therefore deceiving MOST to wrongly believing that Jesus pre-existed His flesh, when instead the Biblical fact prove GOD is GOD ALONE, on His own doing the creating.

The incorrect translation (by).  

The correct translation is: For in Him all things were created,  

In the Greek text of Colossians 1:16 we have (ἐν in) Him and not by Him.   

And the end says (δι’through) Him and not by Him.  

What did Paul mean in the first part of Colossians 1:16: For in Him all things were created,  

Paul is saying GOD the Father has created ALL things in mind, purpose and plan from the foundations of the world Revelation 13-8, 1 Peter 1-20, Galatians 4-4.    

We clearly see how Trinitarians have changed the correct word from (ἐν in) Him, to by Him, to deceive people into believing Jesus is GOD, which is why Trinitarians so often use Colossians 1:16 to make us believe Jesus is GOD, because GOD The father always says he alone is the creator, so by the false Trinitarian translations saying (by him) Jesus, people are deceived into believing Jesus is the same one true GOD, as GOD is the only creator.    

And as most Trinitarians do not look into the Greek translations, but simply use false modern Trinitarian translations, they remain deceived to what the scriptures are truly saying and meaning.

But what did Paul mean in the end of Colossians 1-16 (πάντα all things) were created through him and for him.  

In Hebrews 1:2, we have the answer to what Paul meant by saying (πάντων all things) were created through him and for him.  

Hebrews 1-2:  Berean Literal Bible: in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of (πάντα all things) and through whom He made the ages. 

Notice the words again (πάντα all things), meaning: (in these last days) has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of (πάντα all things), and through whom He made the ages. 

Meaning (πάντα all things), have been (RE CREATED) (in these last days Hebrews 1-2) in Jesus, in the PRESENT AGE, NEW AGE, NEW KINGDOM TO COME IN JESUS, just as we read in three verses back in Colossians 1-13- He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son. The PRESENT AGE, NEW AGE, NEW KINGDOM TO COME IN JESUS, Hebrews 1:2, 

Because: And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18. 

But what did Jesus mean: All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Matthew 28:18?  

The simple answer is back in Colossians 1:16: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities.  

Notice how the wording of Paul (in heaven and on earth), Colossians 1:16? Is identical to the wording of Jesus (in heaven and on earth) Matthew 28:18?  

So by this statement from Jesus  (in heaven and on earth) Matthew 28:18, we know Jesus is referring to the NEW CREATION, because He told us this after His death and resurrection when He fully accomplished the will of his father, where GOD gave Him all authority in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities. 

All things were created through Him and for Him.Colossians 1:16, Matthew 28:18.  

So this must conclude that Paul is referring to what Jesus said in Matthew 28:18.

Colossians 1-17: He is before (all things),   

Most of Christianity have again become very confused and deceived by false teachers teaching what Paul is saying and meaning here, and simply think and believe Paul was saying Jesus was ALIVE WITH GOD before ALL CREATION, because of Paul saying: He is before (all things), Colossians 1-17.  

However the truth is that Paul is referring to:  He is before (all things), in precedence. Jesus is considered as first priority in importance, order and rank, which is confirmed by John the Baptist in John 1:15, John 1:30. 

Which is what Jesus meant in John 8-58: before Abraham was I am, meaning I am the chosen one, the Messiah: He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 1 Peter 1:20.  

Sadly the rebellious Jews often did not believe Jesus, and therefore did not understand Jesus, much like the Trinitarians today.

My Conclusion:  


The verses like John 1:1, John 1:3 John 1:10, John 17:5, John 8:58, and so on are used by people who believe Jesus is GOD, or by people who believe Jesus preexisted His Flesh, but on close examination, these verses are again ether FALSE Trinitarian translations, or taken out of context, or simply misunderstood by most. 

My research reveals if Jesus pre-existed His Flesh, then He was a Pre human, meaning He was NOT 100% human, CONTRADICTING what Jesus only ever taught that He was GODS Begotten Son, John 10:36 who was fully MAN, John 8:40, who did certainly become the second perfect Adam, but could NOT be the second perfect Adam if He was GOD, or an Angel, and pre-existed His Flesh.   

And therefore, a pre-existing Jesus, is NOT the true Christ, but one of countless false Christ’s, just as Jesus said there would come many false Christ's'. Matthew 24:24.     

And the SHOCKING truth is that MOST have been deceived into believing Jesus is the word in John 1:1, meaning Jesus was pre-existing with GOD side by side making TWO GODS, and was PRE-HUMAN, when the word is simply GODS own spoken speech, authority, expressing His mind, plan and command, and is never a second person, until Jesus is BORN John 1:14.

As: Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:6. We MUST then go through the true Jesus Christ, to get to the ONE TRUE GOD.

But as MOST have been deceived into believing in one of countless false Christ’s they will not be able to get to the ONE TRUE GOD, and this is another way how I believe the enemy has deceived MOST:

And the great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him.

Revelation 12:9.

This explains another reason why Jesus said we MUST overcome, by overcoming the countless deceptions and black holes the enemy has created to deceive people from the truth:  

Berean Literal Bible The one overcoming, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall not go out anymore. And I will write upon him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. Revelation 3:12   

The one who conquers, I will grant him to sit with me on my throne, as I also conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. Revelation 3:21.  

If we believe in the true Jesus, we will (overcome) and endure:  if we endure, we will also reign with him; if we deny him, he also will deny us 2 Timothy 2:12. 

When we believe in a false Jesus, we DENY the true Christ. 

And this all explains why Jesus said in John 17:3:  And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 

Notice from Jesus own lips, we MUST know the only TRUE God, and the TRUE Jesus Christ, which is eternal life?  

What Jesus Christ do you know?   

For false christs and false prophets will arise and perform great signs and wonders, so as to lead astray, if possible, even the elect.  See, I have told you beforehand. Matthew 24:24,25.


Please join me again in my next coming articles as we examine Colossians 16, and 17.

Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:16.

but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, THE SON OF GOD, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31.

There is NO TRINITY MYSTERY, 

but a simple understanding, uncomplicated, straightforward Biblical fact:

Jesus Christ is the Son of His one true GOD, Amen.

The TRUE Meaning and Misunderstanding Of Colossians 1:15.

Please may I share my research on Colossians 1-15.  
If you haven’t already made up your mind to what you already believe, I pray at least my research will encourage you to open your mind and heart and consider the following Biblical facts.  

And with your own research, please let me know what I don’t know.  

There are many different views and beliefs to what Paul meant in Colossians 1-15 ,16, and 17, by many different faiths.  

Lets kick off with Colossians 1-15.  

English Standard Version He is the (image) of the invisible God,   

Jesus: is the (image) of the invisible God,   
This is not at all complicated, as the Greek word for (εἰκὼν image) simply means likenesses, copy, duplicate, exactly like something else, (ONE) of two or more identical things.  

So Jesus is the (εἰκὼν image), likenesses, copy, duplicate, exactly, identically, like his Father GOD.  

He is the image of the (invisible God),   

(invisible God).  

GOD is Spirit said Jesus John 4:24, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom (no one has ever seen or can see). To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:16.  

Note: (no one has ever seen or can see).   

Also Note what we also read in 1 Timothy 1:17 
To the King of the ages, immortal, (invisible), the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.  

So we read in all three scriptures Colossians 1:15, 1 Timothy 6:16 and 1 Timothy 1:17 that GOD the Father is the (invisible God), which is why (no one has ever seen or can see).  

We clearly read how GOD the Father is the only invisible God.

This is confirmed by Jesus in John 5:44 How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

 And we know that MAN is not invisible, which is why millions could see Jesus, because He was a MAN. 

As Jesus is the (εἰκὼν image) of His GOD, and was a MAN, This proves He is the visible, and physical form of His Father GOD. 

Just as we are told in Hebrews 1:3, He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature.   

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. 2 Corinthians 4:4.   

Facts to consider: 
Here are some simple facts for those who believe and teach Jesus is GOD.  

Being the (image) of something or being the (image) of someone, means that or they are not the same thing or being they are the (image) of.  

Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Genesis 1:26. 

As Man was also made in the image of GOD, we humans are not GOD.  

Conclusion:

The first part of Paul’s verse saying: He is the (image) of the invisible God, in Colossians 1:15 is an undeniable, indisputable fact, proving Jesus Christ is NOT the same GOD He was born from, but as GOD and His Son have always declared Jesus is the literal Son of His one true GOD, Matthew 3:17, Luke 3:22, Matthew 17:5, John 10:36, John 17:5.

As Jesus is the  exact (εἰκὼν image), imprint, nature, likenesses, copy, duplicate,  the visible, and physical form, Philippians 2:6, exactly, identically, just like his Father GOD, these simple Biblical facts prove Colossians 1-15 proves Jesus is NOT that same GOD He is the exact (εἰκὼν image) of.  

We continue with Colossians 1-15 saying: the firstborn of all creation.  

What did Paul mean: the firstborn of all creation?  

The simple answer is in the verses below:  

And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. Colossians 1:18   

But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. 1 Corinthians 15-20:  

But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:23  

For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. Romans 8:29   

that the Christ must suffer and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light both to our people and to the Gentiles.” Acts 26:23.  

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood. Revelation 1:5

Facts to consider: 
Colossians 1-15 saying: the firstborn of all creation. 

Here are some simple facts for those who believe and teach Colossians 1-15 means Jesus is the first ever born Son of GOD.

There are NO sayings, or words or verses by GOD “Yahweh’’ the Father saying or teaching His Son Jesus was WITH GOD before all creation, as we would expect GOD to say if Jesus pre-existed His flesh, but instead GOD always says He was on His own, by myself, just as we read in just a few verses of many like Psalm 72:18, Psalm 86:10.
Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who spread out the earth by myself, Isaiah 44:24  

There are NO sayings, or words or verses by Jesus saying He was ALIVE, and WITH His Father GOD “Yahweh’’ before the creation of the world, but instead that GOD created all things with His Begotten SON Jesus in MIND, as the most important MAN to be born in His GREAT PLAN (because in him were all things created Colossians 1:16), 

Because: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16. 

He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 1 Peter 1:20.  

Notice how we read Jesus was foreknown, and instead we do not read Jesus was alive and living WITH GOD before the foundation of the world.

The Greek word for (προγινώσκω foreknown) simply means to know beforehand, just as we read Jesus was revealed in the countless Bible Prophesies, as the most important MAN and person to be born in GOD Almighty’s great PLAN.

The Prophet Isaiah 53 Prophecy & The Visible evidence of Jesus.

The FALSE Trinitarian translations of John 1:10.

My research on John 1:10. 

Simon Brown

What did John mean by saying: 

He was in the world, 

and the world was made through him, 

yet the world did not know him.  

Firstly the correct translation of John 1:10 does NOT say: and the world was made through him.

The correct translation of John 1:10 also does NOT say:

the world was made by him, 

as we read in the false translations below.

These translations deceive people into believing the (Genesis Creation world) was made THROUGH Jesus, or BY Jesus saying: and the world was made (by) him.  

The Greek word is ἐγένετο.  

And if we turn to Matthew 7:28 we discover the same Greek word means ἐγένετο, it came to pass.  

In other words John is telling us ALL the world is accomplished, to be fulfilled, all come to pass THROUGH Jesus, for- filling all Bible prophesies.  

I will now add in the correct meaning and translation: In the world He was and the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

I think John 1:10 goes side by side with 1 Corinthians 8:6:  Holman Christian Standard Bible: yet for us there is one God, the Father. All things are from Him, and we exist for Him. And there is one Lord, Jesus Christ. All things are through Him, and we exist through Him.

In the world He was and the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

From what I see is that John 1:10 and 1 Corinthians 8:6 seem related.

This is because all NEW things are in and THROUGH Christ Jesus, hence: the world through Him (ἐγένετο, it came to pass) yet the world did not know him. John 1:10.

He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, Colossians 1:15.

to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen. Jude 1:25

We see again how Jude tells us GOD the Father “ Yahweh” is GOD ALONE by saying: to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord,

Does GOD share His glory, and prove Jesus is GOD? Isaiah 42:8, John 17:5.

 "I am Yahweh. That is my name. I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to engraved images.  

Isaiah 42:8 

In short:

Isaiah 42:8 is used by people who believe Jesus is GOD to prove Jesus is GOD, because God says I will not give my glory to another, and because Jesus said in John 17:5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed, they then conclude this proves Jesus is the same ONE TRUE GOD.  

However we read in John 17:22 The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one,     

Question?
Are the disciples also GOD, as Jesus SHARED the same glory with the disciples that was given to him by His Father?

Also in Exodus 34:29 Moses face shone so bright being full of the glory of God, so was Moses GOD?    

So I Simon Brown ask WHY do so many people who believe Jesus is GOD, send me Isaiah 42:8 to prove Jesus is GOD?  

These simple facts prove the meaning of GOD saying I will not give my glory to another, is misunderstood, and taken out of context, which is sadly often the case with people who teach and believe Jesus is GOD.

----------------------------

  Comment below from Sir Anthony Buzzard:

Yes, we all know that Christians are going to be glorified and as you well point out vv 22, and 24 Jesus has already promised that future glory, and he promised it even before those to be glorified had been born! Trinitarians stop at nothing to try to wear you out! Not easy. Anthony    www.restorationfellowship.org

What is the Holy Spirit?

Simple Facts!

The  Holy Spirit cannot be another person, because GOD The (Father) taught Jesus is his Son in Matthew 17:5, Matthew 3:17: and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

GOD The (Father) also made this very clear to who is the Father of Jesus Christ and that He is the Father of Jesus Christ and did not say the Holy Spirit was another SEPARATE being by saying in Hebrews 1:5: For to which of the angels did God ever say, “You are my Son, today I have begotten you”? Or again, “I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son”?

Notice, “I will be to him a father? This simple fact excludes the Holy Spirit being another SEPARATE being.

Paul also taught: yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.  1 Corinthians 8:6

Notice, how Paul says the only person who is GOD is the Father of Jesus Christ, and that the Father is GOD ALONE, and nothing said that Jesus is GOD, or that the Holy Spirit is a separate being.

Jesus also taught that His Father was in Him and not a separate being of the Holy Spirit in John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.

The fact that we know GOD’s Holy Spirit was with and in Jesus must prove the Holy Spirit is not a separate being but GOD the Fathers own Spirit Himself.

We know GOD the Father is Spirit as Jesus told us so in John 4:24, and we also know GOD the Father is HOLY, and we also know GOD the Father is omnipresence, so it is easy to see and understand how the Holy Spirit is another name for GOD the Father, as GOD the Father is both Spirit and Holy and omnipresence.

As the (word) of GOD in John 1:1 was in the beginning with GOD and was GOD, and is not another person, but is GOD’s utterance, expressing His thoughts, plan, message, and power, that goes forth by the breath of His mouth, Psalm 33:6, which does not return to Him empty, but accomplish that which He purposes, and succeeds in the things for which He sent it Isaiah 55:11, in an identical way so does the Holy Spirit of GOD the Father’s power goes forth by the breath of His mouth, and accomplishes that which He purposes.

Jesus also taught He is the Son of GOD in John 10:36: do you say of him whom the Father consecrated and sent into the world, ‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the Son of God’?

And as Jesus was born from the Holy Spirit, if the Holy Spirit is another person as taught by the Trinity faith, this would mean Jesus is not the Son of GOD but instead the Son of the Holy Spirit and would create contradictions:
Now the birth of Jesus Christ took place in this way. When his mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit. Matthew 1:18.

This alone proves the Holy Spirit is not another person.

We read in Acts 5:3 and 4: 
But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back for yourself part of the proceeds of the land? 4 While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not at your disposal? Why is it that you have contrived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to man but to God.”

Notice “Ananias lied to God and not another person, so this is proof the Holy Spirit is not another person, but is GOD the Father Himself.

And as we have just seen, Paul taught the only person who is GOD is the Father: yet for us there is one God, the Father, 

And as we see in the TRINITY diagram the confession of the Trinitarians faith do not believe the Father is the Holy Spirit.

So according to what Trinitarians believe that the Father is NOT the Holy Spirit, and Peter said, “Ananias, lied to the Holy Spirit who is GOD, and Paul said the only one who is GOD is the Father, proves Trinitarians have yet again created another contradiction against their own faith who say the Holy Spirit is NOT the Father, because Peter says The Holy Spirit is GOD, and Paul says  The one God is the Father.

There is also not a single verse throughout the Bible saying or teaching the Holy Spirit is a separate person.  

If the Holy Spirit is a separate person and also GOD, HOW is it Trinitarians cannot understand a separate person would mean the Holy Spirit is a separate GOD and therefore make TWO GODS and not ONE GOD contradicting the whole Bible.

And as Trinitarians also believe Jesus is also GOD, as Jesus taught He was NOT the Father but the Son, John 10:36, which proves the Son of GOD is certainly a separate person, this means there would be THREE GODS and not ONE GOD, which again contradicts the whole Bible.

remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me, Isaiah 46:9 

There are countless scriptures like above and below teaching GOD the Father is GOD Alone and there is no GOD like Him or BESIDES Him. 

World English Bible:

 I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God. I will strengthen you, though you have not known me;

Isaiah 45:5

Yet we clearly see how the Trinity faith CONTRADICTS the whole Bible and teaches there are THREE persons who are all SIDE by SIDE who are all GOD as we see in the Catholic image below. 

We clearly see in the Catholic image above there are no if’s or but’s, or Mysteries, but THREE GODS side by side contradicting the word of God.

It is clear that Trinitarians actually believe there are THREE GODS, and yet in their other hand they contradict what they say believe and teach and say they believe in ONE GOD. 

1+1+1 does not = 1. 
1 GOD + 1 GOD + 1 GOD = 3 GODS
  NOT 1 GOD.

This is simple sense not a Mystery.

These are just some of countless SIMPLE facts proving the Holy Spirit cannot be 
A SEPARATE BEING.

SHOCKING QUOTES ABOUT THE TRINITY!

Part 1

Part 2

ALL TRINITARIANS whether Catholic or not FOLLOW the MAIN foundation that the Catholic Church faith is built upon called the Trinity.  

List of Catholic Doctrines. 

1.   TRINITY  --- “The mystery (see Rev. 17:5) of the Trinity is the central doctrine of the catholic church.

The New Bible Dictionary, 2nd edition by J.D. Douglas, page 1221, admits that the doctrine of the trinity does not come from the Scriptures, but from philosophy influenced by paganism.  

The Encyclopedia Britannica, Micropedia Volume 11, page 928, gives us the following facts about the trinity. Neither the word Trinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did Jesus and his followers intend to contradict the Shema in the Hebrew Scriptures: “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord” (Deuteronomy 6:4). 

The Religions of Ancient Greece and Babylonia, by A. H. Sayce. pages 229-230, clearly tells us that the Greek philosophical ideas were developed in Alexandria, Egypt from the pagan mystery religions.  

The Cathecism of the Catholic Church admits the Church (not the Bible) had to come up with terms of "philosophical" (pagan/Greek) origin to explain it:: 251 In order to articulate the dogma of the Trinity, the Church had to develop its own terminology with the help of certain notions of philosophical origin: "substance," "person," or "hypostasis," "relation" and so on (Catechism of the Catholic Church. Imprimatur Potest +Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Doubleday, NY 1995, p. 74).  

Here is what it is recorded that a one-time Catholic bishop named Marcellus of Ancyra wrote, around the middle of the fourth century, where certain aspects of trinitarianism came from--paganism: Now with the heresy of the Ariomaniacs, which has corrupted the Church of God...These then teach three hypostases, just as Valentinus the heresiarch first invented in the book entitled by him 'On the Three Natures'.  For he was the first to invent three hypostases and three persons of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and he is discovered to have filched this from Hermes and Plato (Source: Logan A. Marcellus of Ancyra (Pseudo-Anthimus), 'On the Holy Church': Text, Translation and Commentary. Verses 8-9.  Journal of Theological Studies, NS, Volume 51, Pt. 1, April 2000, p.95 ).    

Dean Matthews, DD, D. Litt.: 

“It must be admitted by everyone who has the rudiments of an historical sense that the doctrine of the Trinity formed no part of the original message. St. Paul did not know it, and would have been unable to understand the meaning of the terms used in the theological formula on which the Church ultimately agreed” (God in Christian Experience, p. 180).  

 Paul declares GOD the Father is GOD ALONE in 1 Corinthians 8:6!

yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

“The evolution of the Trinity: 

No responsible NT scholar would claim that the doctrine of the Trinity was taught by Jesus or preached by the earliest Christians or consciously held by any writer of the NT. It was in fact slowly worked out in the course of the first few centuries in an attempt to give an intelligible doctrine of God” (The Image of the Invisible God,  SCM Press, 1982, Dr. A. T Hanson, Professor of Theology University of Hull)  •

It might tend to moderation and in the end agreement, if we were industrious on all occasions to represent our own  doctrine (the Trinity) as wholly unintelligible (Dr. Hey, Lectures in Divinity, 2, 235  •        

The Trinity is a contradiction, indeed, and not merely a verbal contradiction, but an incompatibility in the human ideas conveyed. We can scarcely make a nearer approach to an exact enunciation of it, than of saying that one thing is two things. (Sadler’s Gloria Patri, p. 39, A. H. Newman).  

Morgridge writes: 

No passage of Scripture asserts that God is three. If it be asked what I intend to qualify by the numeral three, I answer, anything which the reader pleases. There is no Scripture which asserts that God is three persons, three agents, three beings, three Gods, three spirits, three substances, three modes, three offices, three attributes, three divinities, three infinite minds, three some whats, three opposites, or three in any sense whatever. The truth of this has been admitted by every Trinitarian who ever wrote or preached on the subject.”

How the Church Fathers pronounced the creed of Jesus to be Heresy and Error!  

Wolfson, The Philosophy of the Church Fathers, pp 361-363  The Church Fathers’ conception  of the Trinity was a combination of Jewish monotheism and pagan polytheism, except that to them this combination was a good combination.. In fact, it was to them an ideal combination of what is best in Jewish monotheism and of what is best in pagan polytheism, and consequently they gloried in it and pointed to it as evidence of their belief. We have on this the testimony of Gregory of Nyssa, one of the great figures in the history of the philosophic formulation of the doctrine of the Trinity. His words are repeated by John of Damascus—the last of the Church Fathers. The Christian conception of God, argues Gregory of Nyssa, is neither the polytheism of the Greeks nor the monotheism of the Jews, and consequently it must be true. “For the Truth passes in the mean between these two conceptions, destroying each heresy, and yet, accepting what is useful to it from each. The Jewish dogma is destroyed by the acceptance of the Word and by belief in the Spirit, while the polytheistic error of the Greek school is made to vanish by the unity of the nature abrogating this imagination of plurality” (Oration Catechetica, 3)

Sir Anthony Farquhar Buzzard, biblical scholar, unitarian Christian theologian.

Sir Anthony Buzzard writes:

 “11,000 of the various occurrences of the words for God (elohim, adonai, YAHWEH, ὁ θεός) in the whole Bible never once mean a Trinity.  

SO when the Bible says  GOD, it never means a Trinity.  Yes, indeed GOD in the New Testament (ὁ θεός) means the Father of Jesus 1300 time.  Jesus is referred to as “god” twice for sure, others are called God or gods, including, angels, and even glorified members of the Church.

In a Messianic sense as quoting Psalm 45:74. 

In John 20:28, Thomas finally saw what he could not see in John 14:11, that God is seen in Jesus.  Jesus was a Unitarian  monotheist, agreeing with the Jew in Mark 12:29 and telling us that life in the age to come.  

Salvation, is based on coming to know God, as the ONLY ONE who IS TRUE GOD. John 17:3).  

God is one Person!!!  There are thousands and thousands of singular personal pronouns for God Do you know what a singular personal pronoun means? “God” appears 4, 444 times, and never means a Triune God.  

So noone in the Bible meant a triune God when he said GOD! Please produce a verse where GOD = Two or Three Persons. 

The creed of Jesus and the Bible in Mk 12:29 is unitary monotheism Jesus then quotes the massively important Ps 110:1 to show that the one at the right hand is NOT God! That would make two GODS one talking to the other!! No one has seen GOD, as we know although Moses saw him partially But “no one has seen God at any time”   

That includes Jesus if you say Jesus is God. By Sir Anthony Farquhar Buzzard, 3rd Baronet, ARCM (b. 28 June 1935), is a biblical scholar, unitarian Christian theologian, author and professor on the faculty of Atlanta Bible College. Restoration Fellowship.  

Sir Isaac Newtons Quotes on the Trinity!

By Simon Brown:

How are we deceived? 1 John 2:22  writes: Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. W.E.B. 

If we believe (Jesus The Son of The One True GOD) is the same One True GOD Jesus was born from, and that The One True GOD came as flesh as the MAN Jesus, we therefore DENY the Literal Father and the Literal Son, and this is how we are deceived. 

Who is the liar but he who DENIES that Jesus is the (Christ). Christ means the Anointed One, Messiah, Christ, Original Word: Χριστός, οῦ, ὁ Transliteration: Christos Phonetic Spelling: (khris-tos’) Christ does NOT translate as (The One True GOD). 

This is the Antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22.  

IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.’”  MATTHEW 15:9.  

But small is the gate and narrow the way that leads to life, AND ONLY A FEW FIND IT.…Matthew 7:12 -14.   

What MUST we believe?  

We MUST believe the SIMPLE Biblical facts, and the SIMPLE Biblical facts are in Matthew 16:16, Simon Peter replied, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” (Christ) means the Anointed One, Messiah, (Christ ) does NOT mean (The One True GOD).

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. John 20:31.  

Notice again we MUST: believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God John 20:31.

Matthew 16:16 and John 20:31 do NOT SAY we MUST believe Jesus is GOD, or that Jesus is the ONE TRUE GOD, but that Jesus is the (Christ), meaning the Anointed One by His ONE TRUE GOD, who is the Messiah The (Christ), AND DOES NOT MEAN CHRIST IS (THE ONE TRUE GOD).  

I finish this article with the words from Jesus Himself declaring His Father is GOD Alone in John 17:3: 

And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3.

Jesus never, ever taught He was the One True GOD, 

but only ever clearly said He is the Son of His One True GOD John 10:36.

It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. 

There is no one else besides him.

Deuteronomy 4:35. World English Bible

Jesus said: 

Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! Matthew 11:15. 

Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the SON of God? 1 John 5:5.
