38 Trinity Contradictions — Comparing the Trinity Claim With the Word of God.

38 Trinity Contradictions biblical investigation comparing traditional Trinitarian claims with the Word of God and the teachings of Jesus.

This article is still under construction please come back

A detailed introductory poster for Simon Brown’s study, 38 Trinity Contradictions. The series compares what traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches about the Father, Son and Holy Spirit with key passages of Scripture concerning the one God, His Son Jesus Christ and the biblical identity of God.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART ONE — WHO IS THE ONE TRUE GOD?

Research by Simon Brown

The doctrine of the Trinity traditionally teaches that there is one God in three distinct persons—the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit—and that the three are coequal and coeternal. That is a fair description of historic Trinitarian belief, not something invented for this article. (Orthodox Church in America)

In this series, we are going to do something very simple:

THE TRINITY CLAIM

versus

THE WORD OF GOD

For each point, we will ask:

What does Trinitarian doctrine teach?

What does Scripture actually say?

And do the two teachings agree—or contradict one another?

These are the first five of the 38 Trinity Contradictions in my original study.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 1

GOD SAYS THERE IS NO OTHER GOD BESIDES HIM

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three distinct persons, while each is fully divine and together they are the one God. (Orthodox Church in America)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Throughout Scripture, Yahweh repeatedly speaks of Himself using unmistakably singular language:

“Now therefore, Yahweh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that you are Yahweh, even you only.”
— Isaiah 37:20

Again:

“I am Yahweh, and there is none else. Besides me, there is no God.”
— Isaiah 45:5

And:

“Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me.”
— Isaiah 46:9

And perhaps most strikingly:

“See now that I, even I, am he. There is no god with me.”
— Deuteronomy 32:39

This same pattern appears repeatedly throughout Isaiah and the other prophets in the passages collected in my original study.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

God does not say:

“We are God, and there is nobody besides Us.”

Instead, the biblical language repeatedly says:

I AM GOD

BESIDES ME THERE IS NO GOD

THERE IS NO GOD WITH ME

The question for the Trinitarian interpretation is therefore:

If the one God consists of three distinct coequal divine persons, why does God repeatedly identify Himself using this strongly singular “I” and “Me” language?

These passages are foundational to the biblical understanding of God and deserve to be allowed to speak for themselves.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 2

GOD IS ONE — THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian theology agrees that there is only one God, but defines that one God as existing in three distinct divine persons. (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

God gave Israel this fundamental commandment:

“Hear, Israel: Yahweh is our God. Yahweh is one.”
— Deuteronomy 6:4

Centuries later, Jesus was asked which commandment was foremost.

Jesus answered:

“The foremost is, ‘Hear this O Israel: The Lord our God is One Lord.’”
— Mark 12:29, BLB

Jesus therefore reaffirmed the declaration given to Israel.

GOD IS ONE.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The important point is not that the Hebrew word for “one” literally means “one person”—it does not by itself establish that.

The much stronger question is this:

Did Jesus ever redefine Israel's confession by saying that the one God consists of three coequal persons?

When specifically asked for the foremost commandment, Jesus simply reaffirmed:

“THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD.”

Your original article identifies this as one of the central problems with the Trinitarian interpretation.

If believing that God is three persons were essential to understanding God's identity, why did Jesus not say so when explicitly stating the foremost commandment concerning God?

That is a serious question.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 3

PAUL SAYS: “ONE GOD, THE FATHER”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity identifies the Father as God, the Son as God, and the Holy Spirit as God, while maintaining that there are not three Gods but one God. (RCA)

WHAT PAUL TEACHES

Paul writes:

“Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things and we for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ…”
— 1 Corinthians 8:6, BLB

Look carefully at Paul's identification:

ONE GOD — THE FATHER

Then Paul distinguishes Jesus:

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST

Paul makes another remarkable distinction:

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5, BLB

Again we have two clearly distinguished parties:

ONE GOD

and

THE MAN CHRIST JESUS — THE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANITY

Paul also writes:

“…God is one.”
— Galatians 3:20, BLB

These were central passages in Contradiction No. 3 of my original study.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Paul believed that the one God should be identified equally as Father, Son and Holy Spirit, why does he instead write:

“ONE GOD, THE FATHER”?

And if Jesus is Himself that same one God, why does Paul distinguish:

the one God

from

the mediator between God and humanity, Christ Jesus?

Paul certainly gives Jesus an extraordinarily exalted position.

But his wording still distinguishes God from Jesus Christ.

That distinction should not be ignored.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 4

JESUS IS THE WAY TO GOD

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully divine and shares the same divine being as the Father.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Jesus said:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, if not by Me.”
— John 14:6, BLB

Notice the direction Jesus gives us:

THROUGH JESUS → TO THE FATHER

Jesus does not present Himself as the final person to whom He is bringing us.

He presents Himself as the way through whom we come to the Father.

This was the argument presented in Contradiction No. 4 of my original article.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is Himself the same one true God to whom humanity is being reconciled, why does He consistently present Himself as the way to the Father?

This fits perfectly with Paul's words:

ONE GOD

and

ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND MEN

The mediator is:

“THE MAN CHRIST JESUS.”

— 1 Timothy 2:5

The biblical picture therefore presents Jesus as our unique mediator and way to God.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 5

JESUS CALLED HIMSELF “A MAN”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Historic Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man. The Athanasian Creed explicitly describes Christ as God and man, so we must represent the Trinitarian position accurately here. (RCA)

Therefore, the fact that Jesus is called a man does not, by itself, refute Trinitarian doctrine.

But there is something else in Jesus' statement that deserves attention.

WHAT JESUS ACTUALLY SAID

Jesus told His opponents:

“But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has spoken to you the truth that I heard from God.”
— John 8:40, BLB

Notice the complete statement.

Jesus identifies Himself as:

“A MAN”

and then says that the truth He proclaimed was something:

“I HEARD FROM GOD.”

Your original article specifically contrasts Jesus' description of Himself as a man with the Trinitarian identification of Jesus as God.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The strongest question is not simply:

“Why is Jesus called a man?”

Trinitarians already believe Jesus became genuinely human.

The more important question is:

Why does Jesus distinguish Himself from God in the very same sentence?

He says:

“ME, A MAN”

who heard:

“FROM GOD.”

The natural reading presents the man Jesus receiving truth from God.

So we must ask:

Who is the God from whom Jesus heard this truth?

And why does Jesus speak of God as someone distinct from Himself?

PART ONE — CONCLUSION

We have examined only the first five of the 38 claimed Trinity contradictions, but already a consistent biblical pattern begins to emerge.

God says:

“BESIDES ME, THERE IS NO GOD.”

Jesus says:

“THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD.”

Paul says:

“ONE GOD, THE FATHER.”

Jesus says we come:

TO THE FATHER THROUGH HIM.

And Jesus describes Himself as:

“A MAN” WHO HEARD THE TRUTH “FROM GOD.”

The purpose of this series is not to tell you what you must believe.

It is to put the Trinity claim beside the Word of God and allow you to examine the evidence.

Ask yourself:

Do these statements naturally teach one God who is three coequal persons?

Or do they consistently distinguish the one God, the Father, from His Son and Messiah, Jesus Christ?

Jesus Himself prayed:

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.”
— John 17:3, BLB

There are still 33 claimed contradictions to examine.

And some of the strongest are yet to come.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART TWO — IS JESUS THE SAME ONE TRUE GOD?

In Part One, we examined the first five claimed contradictions between traditional Trinitarian doctrine and the biblical statements about God and Jesus.

Now we continue with Contradictions 6–10.

As before, we will use the same simple method:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

To represent Trinitarian belief fairly, historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct persons, yet one God; it also teaches that the Son is coequal and coeternal with the Father. (Church of England)

Now let us compare those claims directly with Scripture.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 6

JESUS IS A MAN — THE SECOND MAN

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus existed eternally as God the Son before His human birth and later became fully human while remaining fully God. (Church of England)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Jesus Himself said:

“But now you seek to kill Me, a man who has spoken to you the truth that I heard from God.”
— John 8:40, BLB

Paul likewise describes Jesus in relation to Adam:

“The first man was made of the earth, made of dust; the second man from heaven.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:47, BLB

The biblical description is striking:

THE FIRST MAN — ADAM

THE SECOND MAN — JESUS CHRIST

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is the eternal divine Son who became man.

Yet Scripture repeatedly identifies Jesus as a man, and Paul places Him in direct comparison with the first man, Adam.

The important question therefore is:

Does Paul's “second man” language require Jesus to be God, or does it present Jesus as the second and greater man through whom God brings resurrection and life?

We should allow Paul's own argument to determine the answer.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 7

IS JESUS COEQUAL WITH HIS FATHER?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Historic Trinitarian doctrine explicitly teaches that the three persons are coequal. The Athanasian Creed says that within the Trinity none is greater or less than another. (Church of England)

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Jesus said:

“…the Father is greater than I.”
— John 14:28, BLB

Read those words again:

“THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Here we have two statements placed side by side.

TRINITARIAN DOCTRINE:

None is greater or less than another.

JESUS:

“The Father is greater than I.”

Trinitarian theology answers this by distinguishing Christ's divine nature from His human nature: the Son is said to be equal to the Father according to divinity but subordinate according to His humanity. The Athanasian Creed itself makes precisely this distinction. (RCA)

But we still need to ask:

Does Jesus Himself make that qualification in John 14:28?

He simply says:

“THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.”

The reader must decide whether the later theological explanation arises naturally from Jesus' words or is required to reconcile them with the doctrine.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 8

JESUS SAID HE COULD DO NOTHING FROM HIMSELF

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Son shares the one divine nature with the Father and is therefore fully divine and Almighty. The historic creed explicitly calls the Father, Son and Holy Spirit each Almighty while maintaining there is only one Almighty. (Church of England)

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Jesus said:

“I am able to do nothing from Myself.”
— John 5:30, BLB

Earlier in the same chapter Jesus said:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself, if not anything He might see the Father doing.”
— John 5:19, BLB

These are extraordinary statements.

Jesus does not say:

“I possess independent authority equal to the Father.”

He says:

“THE SON IS ABLE TO DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is coequal and Almighty in exactly the same divine nature as the Father, why does Jesus repeatedly describe His works as dependent upon His Father?

And why does He say:

“I am able to do nothing from Myself”?

A Trinitarian will answer that Jesus speaks here in His incarnate role and in perfect unity with the Father—not from a lack of divine power.

That explanation should be considered fairly.

But the biblical statement itself remains:

THE SON CAN DO NOTHING FROM HIMSELF.

The question is whether this language fits more naturally with coequal deity or with a Son whose authority and works derive from His Father.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 9

DID JESUS SEND HIMSELF?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God while being personally distinct from the Father.

Therefore, to be precise, Trinitarians do not teach that Jesus literally sent Himself. They teach that the Father sent the Son, while both share the one divine nature.

That distinction is important if we are going to test the doctrine fairly.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Nevertheless, look at the way Jesus repeatedly speaks about God and the One who sent Him:

“…I go to Him who sent Me.”
— John 7:33, BLB

Jesus also said:

“It behooves us to work the works of Him who sent Me while it is day.”
— John 9:4, BLB

Throughout John's Gospel we repeatedly encounter:

THE ONE WHO SENDS

and

THE ONE WHO IS SENT.

Jesus is the sent One.

His Father is the Sender.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The strongest argument here is therefore not that Trinitarians believe Jesus “sent Himself”—they do not.

The deeper question is:

Why does Jesus so consistently identify Himself as God's commissioned and sent Messiah if He is Himself equally the one God?

The distinction is maintained repeatedly:

God sends.

Jesus is sent.

This agrees with Jesus' prayer:

“…that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.”
— John 17:3, BLB

Again we have:

THE ONLY TRUE GOD

and

JESUS CHRIST WHOM HE SENT.

That distinction deserves serious consideration.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 10

DID GOD GIVE HIS SON — OR DID GOD GIVE HIMSELF?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus is the eternal divine Son and that the Father sent His Son into the world.

It does not teach that the Father and Jesus are the same person.

But it does teach that Father and Son share the same one divine being.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Perhaps the most famous verse in Scripture says:

“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, so that everyone believing in Him should not perish, but should have eternal life.”
— John 3:16, BLB

Notice the relationship:

GOD GAVE

His

SON.

There is a Giver.

And there is the Son who is given.

John repeats this distinction:

“In this the love of God has been revealed among us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.”
— 1 John 4:9, BLB

Again:

GOD SENT HIS SON.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If the Son is Himself fully the same one God in divine being, we must ask what John's language is communicating when he repeatedly distinguishes:

GOD

from

HIS SON.

John does not say:

“God loved the world and therefore God sent Himself.”

He says:

“GOD…GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.”

The distinction is fundamental to the message of salvation.

The love being demonstrated is God's love in giving His Son.

PART TWO — WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED?

We have now examined another five claimed contradictions.

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Son is fully God, coequal and coeternal with the Father. (Church of England)

But compare that with the biblical statements we have examined:

Jesus is called:

“A MAN.”

Jesus says:

“THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I.”

Jesus says:

“I AM ABLE TO DO NOTHING FROM MYSELF.”

Jesus repeatedly says:

THE FATHER SENT ME.

And John tells us:

GOD GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.

None of these statements should be isolated from the rest of Scripture.

But neither should they be explained away simply because they create difficulties for a theological system.

The question throughout this series remains:

When the Trinity claim is placed beside the Word of God, which explanation most naturally fits the biblical language?

We have now examined 10 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

In Part Three, we will continue with Contradictions 11–15, including some particularly important questions:

Did God sacrifice Himself—or His Son?

Who raised Jesus from the dead?

Why did the Son not know what the Father knew?

Why did Jesus call the Father “My God”?

And:

If Jesus is God, why did Jesus pray to God?

These are questions that deserve clear biblical answers.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART THREE — GOD GAVE, RAISED AND EXALTED HIS SON

In Part Two, we examined Jesus as the second man, His statement that “the Father is greater than I,” His dependence upon the Father, His being sent by God, and God's giving His only begotten Son.

We now continue with Trinity Contradictions 11–15.

Once again, we will keep the comparison simple:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus Christ is both fully God and fully man, and that according to His divine nature He is equal with the Father. (Church of England)

With that definition clearly stated, let us compare it with Scripture.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 11

DID GOD SACRIFICE HIMSELF — OR DID GOD GIVE HIS SON?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine does not teach that the Father Himself died on the cross.

It teaches that the Father and Son are distinct persons, while the Son is fully God and shares the one divine being with the Father. (Church of England)

Therefore, we should represent the doctrine accurately.

But this still raises an important question when we examine the biblical language concerning God giving His Son.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Long before Jesus was born, Abraham was commanded:

“Take now your son, your only son, whom you love, Isaac, and go into the land of Moriah. Offer him there for a burnt offering…”
— Genesis 22:2

Abraham's willingness to offer his beloved son provides a remarkable biblical pattern.

But God ultimately provided the sacrifice.

Abraham therefore declared:

“Yahweh Will Provide.”
— Genesis 22:14

Centuries later, John describes God's love:

“In this the love of God has been revealed among us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, so that we might live through Him.”
— 1 John 4:9, BLB

Notice again:

GOD SENT

His

ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The biblical picture is beautifully simple.

Abraham was prepared to give:

HIS BELOVED SON.

And God ultimately gave:

HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.

The question for Trinitarian theology is:

If Jesus is Himself fully the same one God in divine being, why does Scripture repeatedly frame the sacrifice as GOD giving HIS SON?

The distinction between God and His Son is central to John's description of God's love.

The biblical emphasis is not that God loved us so much that God became His own Son and sacrificed Himself.

Rather:

GOD LOVED US AND SENT HIS SON.

That distinction deserves to remain exactly as Scripture presents it.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 12

WHO RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus is fully God.

It also interprets passages such as John 2:19 as showing Christ's authority concerning His own resurrection.

But what is the repeated apostolic proclamation after the resurrection?

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Paul preached:

“But God raised Him from the dead.”
— Acts 13:30, BLB

Peter likewise proclaimed:

“This Jesus God raised up, to which we all are witnesses.”
— Acts 2:32, BLB

Again:

“Whom God raised up, having loosed the agony of death…”
— Acts 2:24, BLB

Notice the repeated distinction:

GOD RAISED JESUS.

There is the One who performs the resurrection:

GOD

and the One whom God raises:

JESUS.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is Himself the same one true God, why do the apostles repeatedly preach that:

GOD RAISED HIM?

The resurrection proclamation does not normally say:

“Jesus, who is God, raised Himself.”

Instead, the apostolic message repeatedly presents God as the One who acted upon Jesus:

“GOD RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD.”

The distinction is unmistakable.

This does not settle every Trinitarian argument about Christ's resurrection by itself, but it creates a serious question:

Why does apostolic preaching so consistently distinguish God from the Jesus whom God raised?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 13

DID JESUS KNOW EVERYTHING THE FATHER KNEW?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Son shares fully in the divine nature.

Because God is omniscient, Trinitarian theology consequently holds that the divine Son possesses divine omniscience.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Jesus made an extraordinary statement concerning the time of His return:

“But concerning that day and hour, no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son, except the Father only.”
— Matthew 24:36, BLB

Look carefully at the progression:

Human beings do not know.

The angels do not know.

THE SON DOES NOT KNOW.

But:

THE FATHER KNOWS.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Father and Son are coequal in divine knowledge, how can the Father know something that the Son explicitly says He does not know?

Trinitarian theology commonly answers this through the incarnation: Christ is fully divine and fully human, and passages involving limitation are understood in relation to His incarnate human condition. Historic Trinitarian creeds explicitly distinguish Christ's equality with the Father according to deity from His inferiority according to humanity. (Church of England)

But again, we should ask:

Does Jesus make that qualification in Matthew 24:36?

Jesus does not say:

“My human nature does not know, but My divine nature does.”

He says:

“NOR THE SON.”

and then:

“THE FATHER ONLY.”

That is the actual biblical statement that must be explained.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 14

JESUS SAID HE HAS A GOD

This is one of the most important contradictions in the entire series.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus is fully God, sharing the same divine being as the Father. (Church of England)

But listen carefully to what the resurrected Jesus Himself says.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

After His death and resurrection, Jesus told Mary Magdalene:

“I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.”
— John 20:17, BLB (Bible Hub)

This statement is especially significant because Jesus said it after His resurrection.

Notice the four expressions:

MY FATHER

YOUR FATHER

MY GOD

YOUR GOD

Jesus does not merely say:

“your God.”

He says:

“MY GOD.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

This raises perhaps one of the simplest questions in the entire Trinity debate:

IF JESUS IS THE ONE TRUE GOD, WHO IS JESUS' GOD?

Jesus Himself says He has a God.

And this language does not disappear after His resurrection.

In Revelation, the exalted Jesus repeatedly speaks of:

“My God.”

— Revelation 3:12

Therefore, the argument cannot simply be dismissed as something Jesus said only before His death.

The risen and exalted Jesus still acknowledges His God.

Trinitarian theology can explain this through Christ's continuing humanity and relationship with the Father.

But the biblical fact remains:

JESUS HAS A GOD.

And Jesus identifies that God as:

HIS FATHER.

That deserves very serious consideration.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 15

WHY DID JESUS PRAY TO GOD?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus is God the Son, while personally distinct from God the Father.

Therefore, Trinitarians do not believe Jesus was literally praying to Himself.

They understand the Son as praying to the Father within the relationship between the distinct persons of the Trinity.

That distinction should be stated fairly.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Nevertheless, Jesus repeatedly prayed to God.

Luke tells us:

“And it came to pass in those days, He went out to the mountain to pray, and He was spending the night in prayer to God.”
— Luke 6:12, BLB

Matthew likewise records:

“And having dismissed the crowds, He went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.”
— Matthew 14:23, BLB

Jesus taught His disciples to pray:

“Our Father who is in the heavens, hallowed be Your name.”
— Matthew 6:9, BLB

And in Gethsemane Jesus prayed:

“My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You.”
— Matthew 26:39, BLB

Notice that last statement carefully.

There is:

JESUS' WILL

and

HIS FATHER'S WILL.

And Jesus submits His will to His Father's.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

The question is not simply:

“Why would Jesus pray if He were divine?”

Trinitarians have an answer: the incarnate Son communes with the Father.

The deeper biblical question is:

Why does Jesus consistently relate to the Father as His God, pray to Him, obey Him, depend upon Him, and submit His own will to Him?

Jesus does not merely demonstrate prayer for His disciples.

He genuinely cries out to God.

He spends entire nights praying to God.

He asks God for help.

He submits Himself to God's will.

And after His resurrection He still calls the Father:

“MY GOD.”

So we must ask:

Does this biblical relationship most naturally describe two coequal persons within one God—or God's Messiah and Son living in complete dependence upon His God and Father?

That is the question the reader must examine.

PART THREE — WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED?

We have now examined 15 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

Place the claims beside the Scriptures:

GOD SENT HIS SON.

GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD.

THE FATHER KNEW WHAT THE SON DID NOT KNOW.

JESUS SAID, “MY GOD.”

JESUS PRAYED TO GOD.

None of these statements diminishes Jesus Christ.

The Bible presents Jesus as God's uniquely begotten Son, Messiah, Lord, Savior and the One through whom God brings salvation to humanity.

But precisely because Jesus is so important, we should allow Jesus Himself to tell us who He is and who His God is.

Perhaps the most striking statement in this entire section is still the simplest:

“MY GOD AND YOUR GOD.”

— John 20:17, BLB (Bible Hub)

If Jesus calls the Father “My God,” Christians should not pass over those words lightly.

We should ask what they mean.

We should compare them with the Trinity claim.

And we should allow Scripture—not tradition—to determine our conclusion.

In Part Four, we will continue with Trinity Contradictions 16–20, including Jesus as the way to the Father, “God is not man,” the temptation of Jesus, the statement that no one has seen God, and Jesus' extraordinary cry from the cross:

“MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART FOUR — JESUS HAS A GOD, IS TEMPTED, SEEN, AND FORSAKEN

We now continue with Trinity Contradictions 16–20.

As throughout this series, we will compare the claims carefully:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct persons but one God, coequal and coeternal. It also teaches that Jesus is both fully God and fully man. (Church of England)

With that definition established fairly, let us continue.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 16

IF JESUS IS GOD, WHY MUST WE GO THROUGH HIM TO GOD?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God, sharing the one divine nature with the Father.

It also teaches that the Father and Son are distinct persons, so Trinitarians do not believe Jesus and the Father are the same person.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Jesus said:

“I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, if not by Me.”
— John 14:6, BLB

Notice the direction:

THROUGH JESUS → TO THE FATHER

Paul gives us the same basic pattern:

“For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.”
— 1 Timothy 2:5, BLB

There is:

ONE GOD

and there is:

ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN GOD AND HUMANITY — JESUS CHRIST.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus Himself is equally the one God, why does Scripture consistently present Him as the mediator through whom we approach God?

Jesus does not say:

“I am the Father to whom you are coming.”

He says:

“NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER, IF NOT BY ME.”

The distinction is simple:

Jesus is the way.

The Father is the One to whom Jesus brings us.

The question is whether this relationship fits more naturally with Jesus being the Son and mediator of God, or with Jesus Himself being equally the one God to whom He mediates.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 17

GOD IS NOT A MAN — JESUS IS A MAN

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus is both God and man—fully divine and fully human. (Church of England)

Therefore, we must be careful here.

Simply showing that Jesus is a man does not, by itself, disprove the Trinity, because Trinitarians already believe Jesus genuinely became human.

Nevertheless, compare these biblical statements.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Numbers declares:

“God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent…”
— Numbers 23:19

Jesus, however, said of Himself:

“…a man who has spoken to you the truth that I heard from God.”
— John 8:40, BLB

Jesus repeatedly called Himself:

“THE SON OF MAN.”

For example:

“For the Son of Man is Lord of the Sabbath.”
— Matthew 12:8, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Trinitarians respond that Numbers 23:19 describes God's nature and faithfulness, while the eternal Son later became genuinely human in the incarnation.

That answer should be acknowledged.

But there remains a larger pattern that this series is examining.

Jesus identifies Himself as:

A MAN

who heard truth:

FROM GOD.

Again, Scripture distinguishes the man Jesus from the God from whom He received His message.

The question is therefore not merely:

“Was Jesus human?”

The deeper question is:

Why does Jesus repeatedly distinguish Himself from the God whom Trinitarian doctrine says He equally is?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 18

GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED — JESUS WAS TEMPTED

This is a particularly interesting comparison.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES ABOUT GOD

James tells us:

“For God is unable to be tempted by evils…”
— James 1:13, BLB

The statement is straightforward:

GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL.

Now compare this with Jesus.

Matthew tells us:

“Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.”
— Matthew 4:1, BLB

Hebrews goes even further, saying that Jesus was:

“…tempted in all things in like manner, without sin.”
— Hebrews 4:15, BLB

So we have:

GOD — CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL

and:

JESUS — WAS TEMPTED

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Trinitarian theology answers this through the two natures of Christ: Jesus could experience genuine temptation according to His humanity while remaining divine. Historic Trinitarian teaching explicitly distinguishes Christ's divinity and humanity while regarding Him as one person. (Church of England)

But again we must ask:

Does Scripture itself make that distinction when describing the temptation?

The Gospel does not say:

“Jesus' human nature was tempted, but Jesus Himself could not be tempted.”

It simply says:

JESUS WAS TEMPTED.

James says:

GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED BY EVIL.

This creates an important question for anyone who says Jesus is the same one true God.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 19

NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD — THOUSANDS SAW JESUS

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

John makes this extraordinary statement:

“No one has ever yet seen God…”
— John 1:18, BLB

John repeats it:

“No one has ever yet seen God.”
— 1 John 4:12, BLB

Yet Jesus was plainly seen.

His disciples saw Him.

His family saw Him.

The crowds saw Him.

His enemies saw Him.

Pilate saw Him.

Those who crucified Him saw Him.

After His resurrection His disciples saw Him again.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Place the two statements together:

NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD.

Yet:

PEOPLE SAW JESUS.

Trinitarian theology responds by distinguishing the invisible divine nature from the visible humanity assumed by the Son.

But notice something particularly important about John's writings.

The same writer who knew Jesus personally and wrote extensively about Him could still say:

“NO ONE HAS EVER YET SEEN GOD.”

John obviously knew that people had seen Jesus.

So when John nevertheless says no one has seen God, we should ask:

Whom does John mean by “God”?

Does John naturally identify the visible Jesus as that same unseen God?

Or is John distinguishing God from His Son, who revealed Him?

That is an important question.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 20

“MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”

Now we come to one of the most powerful scenes in the entire Gospel record.

Jesus is dying on the cross.

Matthew records:

“And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, saying, ‘Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?’ That is, ‘My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?’”
— Matthew 27:46, BLB

Jesus is quoting the opening words of Psalm 22.

But we should not overlook what Jesus actually says.

Not once, but twice:

“MY GOD, MY GOD.”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God while remaining personally distinct from the Father.

Therefore, Trinitarians do not claim that Jesus was literally talking to Himself.

They understand this as the incarnate Son addressing His Father.

WHAT JESUS SAYS

Jesus does not cry:

“My other divine person.”

He cries:

“MY GOD.”

And then:

“WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”

There is clearly:

THE ONE WHO IS FORSAKEN — JESUS

and:

THE GOD TO WHOM JESUS CRIES OUT.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus Himself is equally the one true God, what does it mean for Him to cry to another whom He calls:

“MY GOD”?

And how can the one true God be forsaken by His God?

Again, Trinitarian theology provides an explanation based upon the relationship between Father and Son and Christ's incarnate suffering.

But our purpose in this study is to ask whether that later theological framework is what the biblical text itself naturally communicates.

The words coming directly from Jesus are:

“MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?”

Those words should be allowed their full weight.

PART FOUR — WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED?

We have now examined 20 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

Consider the pattern:

JESUS IS THE WAY TO THE FATHER.

JESUS CALLS HIMSELF A MAN WHO HEARD FROM GOD.

GOD CANNOT BE TEMPTED — JESUS WAS TEMPTED.

NO ONE HAS SEEN GOD — PEOPLE SAW JESUS.

And from the cross Jesus cries:

“MY GOD, MY GOD.”

None of this means we should diminish Jesus.

Quite the opposite.

The Bible gives Jesus an extraordinary and unique position as God's Son, Messiah, Lord, Savior and mediator.

But calling Jesus what Scripture calls Him is not diminishing Him.

The question is whether we should go beyond those biblical descriptions and identify Him as the same one true God whom Jesus Himself worshipped, obeyed, prayed to and called “My God.”

That is the issue we are examining.

And we are now more than halfway through the 38 contradictions.

In Part Five, we will examine Contradictions 21–25:

Who gave Jesus all authority?

Who anointed Jesus?

Why did Satan call Jesus “the Son of God”?

Why did Jesus tell Satan to worship God alone?

And:

Why did the demons identify Jesus as “the Son of God”?

The comparison between the Trinity claim and the Word of God continues.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART FIVE — WHO GAVE JESUS HIS AUTHORITY, AND WHO SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED?

We have now examined 20 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

In Part Five we continue with Contradictions 21–25.

As before, we will make the comparison clear:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct persons, yet each is fully God; none is greater or less, and all three are coequal and coeternal. (Church of England)

Now let us compare this with the biblical evidence.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 21

IF JESUS IS ALMIGHTY GOD, WHY WAS ALL AUTHORITY GIVEN TO HIM?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus is fully God and shares the divine nature and almighty power of the Father. The Athanasian Creed explicitly calls the Father Almighty, the Son Almighty, and the Holy Spirit Almighty, while maintaining that there is only one Almighty. (Church of England)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

After His resurrection Jesus told His disciples:

“All authority in heaven and on the earth has been given to Me.”
— Matthew 28:18, BLB

Notice the crucial words:

“HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME.”

Jesus possesses extraordinary authority.

But according to Jesus Himself, that authority was:

GIVEN TO HIM.

The same pattern appears elsewhere:

“For even as the Father has life in Himself, so also He gave to the Son to have life in Himself.”
— John 5:26, BLB

And Jesus says concerning authority to execute judgment:

“And He gave Him authority to execute judgment…”
— John 5:27, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is inherently the Almighty God, possessing the same divine authority eternally as the Father, why does Scripture repeatedly describe the Father as giving authority to Jesus?

Something that is given is received from another.

The biblical pattern is:

GOD GIVES

and:

JESUS RECEIVES.

This raises a straightforward question:

WHO GAVE JESUS “ALL AUTHORITY”?

Surely the One who gave Jesus that authority must already possess the authority He gave.

The exaltation of Jesus is enormous—but Scripture repeatedly presents that exaltation as something God granted to His Son.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 22

JESUS WAS ANOINTED BY “GOD, YOUR GOD”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus is fully God and coequal with the Father. (Christian Classics Ethereal Library)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Hebrews says concerning the Son:

“You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; because of this, God, Your God, has anointed You with the oil of exultation above Your companions.”
— Hebrews 1:9, BLB

Notice carefully:

“GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU.”

There is the One being anointed:

JESUS

and there is the One performing the anointing:

“GOD, YOUR GOD.”

This agrees perfectly with Jesus' own words after His resurrection:

“…My God and your God.”
— John 20:17, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is Himself the same one true God, why does Scripture explicitly say that Jesus has:

“YOUR GOD”?

And why does Jesus' God anoint Jesus?

The question becomes even stronger because Hebrews 1 is frequently used to argue for the deity of Christ.

Yet only one verse after Hebrews 1:8, we find:

“GOD, YOUR GOD, HAS ANOINTED YOU.”

Whatever interpretation we give Hebrews 1:8 must therefore account for Hebrews 1:9.

Jesus has a God.

And according to Hebrews:

HIS GOD ANOINTED HIM.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 23

SATAN CALLED JESUS “THE SON OF GOD”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus is God the Son—fully divine and eternally begotten of the Father. (Church of England)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

When Satan tempted Jesus, he said:

“If You are Son of God, speak that these stones might become loaves of bread.”
— Matthew 4:3, BLB

Again Satan says:

“If You are Son of God, throw Yourself down…”
— Matthew 4:6, BLB

Notice the title:

“SON OF GOD.”

Not:

“GOD THE SON.”

The distinction matters because “Son of God” is biblical terminology, whereas the precise title “God the Son” does not appear as a title in the biblical text.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

We should be careful not to build doctrine merely upon Satan's words.

But these statements fit the identity repeatedly given to Jesus throughout the New Testament.

At His baptism, the voice from heaven declares:

“You are My Son, the beloved; in You I am well pleased.”
— Mark 1:11, BLB

Peter confesses:

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
— Matthew 16:16, BLB

And John's stated purpose for writing his Gospel is:

“…that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…”
— John 20:31, BLB

Again and again the biblical identity is:

JESUS — THE SON OF GOD.

The question therefore is:

Why should Christians replace or expand the biblical confession “Son of God” into the theological title “God the Son” if Scripture itself never uses that title?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 24

JESUS SAID: WORSHIP GOD AND SERVE HIM ALONE

This is one of the most striking passages in the temptation account.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are together to be worshipped as the one God. The Athanasian Creed explicitly says that the Trinity in Unity is to be worshipped. (Church of England)

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

Satan offered Jesus the kingdoms of the world if Jesus would worship him.

Jesus answered:

“Get you away, Satan! For it has been written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.’”
— Matthew 4:10, BLB

Jesus quotes Scripture and declares:

“WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD.”

And:

“HIM ALONE SHALL YOU SERVE.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

This raises a very important question.

Jesus was standing directly in front of Satan.

Yet Jesus did not say:

“Worship Me, because I am your God.”

Instead He points to:

“THE LORD YOUR GOD.”

And says:

“HIM ALONE SHALL YOU SERVE.”

A Trinitarian will answer that Jesus is Himself included within the divine identity and therefore worship of Jesus does not violate worship of the one God.

That interpretation needs to be examined against the whole Bible.

But the immediate wording remains striking.

Jesus distinguishes Himself as the obedient Son who refuses Satan and remains faithful to:

THE LORD HIS GOD.

And elsewhere Jesus explicitly calls the Father:

“MY GOD.”

— John 20:17

So the question remains:

When Jesus says God alone is to be worshipped and served, whom does Jesus Himself identify as His God?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 25

EVEN THE DEMONS CALLED JESUS “SON OF GOD”

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian doctrine identifies Jesus as God the Son, the second person of the Trinity, fully God alongside the Father and Holy Spirit.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

When Jesus encountered demon-possessed men, the demons cried:

“What is it to us and to You, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?”
— Matthew 8:29, BLB

Again their identification is:

“SON OF GOD.”

Mark records another encounter:

“And the unclean spirits, whenever they beheld Him, were falling down before Him and crying out, saying, ‘You are the Son of God.’”
— Mark 3:11, BLB

Luke records:

“And demons also were going out from many, crying out and saying, ‘You are the Son of God.’”
— Luke 4:41, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Again, demons are certainly not our source of theology.

But notice that their identification agrees with the testimony found throughout the Gospels:

GOD calls Jesus His Son.

Jesus calls Himself the Son of God.

Peter calls Jesus the Son of God.

John calls Jesus the Son of God.

Even the demons recognize Jesus as the Son of God.

And John tells us why he wrote his Gospel:

“…so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…”
— John 20:31, BLB

This raises a fundamental question:

WHY IS THE INSPIRED BIBLICAL CONFESSION “SON OF GOD,” WHILE LATER TRINITARIAN THEOLOGY USES “GOD THE SON”?

Those expressions are not identical.

One says:

THE SON OF GOD.

The other says:

GOD THE SON.

If our purpose is to follow Scripture as closely as possible, shouldn't we begin with the identity Scripture itself repeatedly gives Jesus?

PART FIVE — WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED?

We have now examined 25 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

Look at the pattern in these five:

JESUS RECEIVED ALL AUTHORITY.

JESUS WAS ANOINTED BY “GOD, YOUR GOD.”

JESUS IS CALLED “THE SON OF GOD.”

JESUS SAID TO WORSHIP AND SERVE GOD ALONE.

JESUS IS AGAIN IDENTIFIED AS “THE SON OF GOD.”

And perhaps the most important point in this section is this:

NONE OF THESE PASSAGES DIMINISH JESUS.

God has given His Son enormous authority.

God has exalted Him.

God has made Him Lord and Christ.

God has appointed Him as Messiah.

God has given Him authority to judge.

And through Jesus, God offers eternal life.

But there is a crucial distinction between saying:

JESUS HAS BEEN GIVEN DIVINE AUTHORITY BY GOD

and saying:

JESUS IS THE GOD WHO GAVE HIM THAT AUTHORITY.

That distinction lies at the heart of this investigation.

We should therefore ask:

Are we allowing Scripture to define Jesus—or are we beginning with a later theological definition and interpreting every Scripture through it?

In Part Six, we will examine Trinity Contradictions 26–30, and they take us even deeper:

Whose will did Jesus obey?

Did Jesus possess a different will from His Father?

Did Jesus know everything His Father knew?

Who did Jesus identify as the Creator?

And:

Does Scripture say Jesus created the universe—or that God created it?

The comparison between the Trinity claim and the Word of God continues.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART SIX — WHOSE WILL, KNOWLEDGE AND CREATIVE POWER DID JESUS HAVE?

We have now examined 25 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

In Part Six we continue with Contradictions 26–30.

As always, we will make the comparison directly:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are distinct persons but share the one divine being, and that the three are coeternal and coequal. That is stated explicitly in the Athanasian Creed. (Church of England)

Let us now place that claim beside the biblical passages.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 26

JESUS DID THE WILL AND WORK OF HIS FATHER

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God and coequal with the Father.

The Father and Son are understood as distinct persons, so Trinitarians do not deny that the Son can obey the Father. Nevertheless, both are believed to possess equally and eternally the one divine nature. (Church of England)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Jesus repeatedly describes Himself as carrying out someone else's will and work.

Jesus said:

“My food is that I should do the will of the One having sent Me, and should finish His work.”
— John 4:34, BLB

Notice:

“THE WILL OF THE ONE HAVING SENT ME.”

And:

“HIS WORK.”

Jesus says again:

“I am able to do nothing from Myself. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is righteous, because I do not seek My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.”
— John 5:30, BLB

And:

“Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do nothing of Himself, if not anything He might see the Father doing.”
— John 5:19, BLB

The pattern could hardly be clearer:

THE FATHER SENDS.

THE SON IS SENT.

THE FATHER GIVES THE WORK.

THE SON PERFORMS HIS FATHER'S WORK.

WHAT IS THE CLAIMED CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is coequal with the Father as the same one Almighty God, why does Jesus repeatedly describe Himself as dependent upon His Father?

Jesus does not claim independent authority.

Instead He says:

“I AM ABLE TO DO NOTHING FROM MYSELF.”

And:

“I DO NOT SEEK MY WILL.”

Trinitarians explain this in terms of the Son's incarnate mission and willing obedience to the Father.

But our question remains:

Does the language itself sound like one coequal God speaking—or God's obedient Son carrying out the work of the God who sent Him?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 27

JESUS HAD A WILL DISTINCT FROM HIS FATHER'S WILL

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian theology distinguishes the persons of Father and Son while maintaining their one divine nature.

Historic Christian Christology also teaches that Jesus is truly divine and truly human.

So Trinitarians have theological explanations for passages where Jesus distinguishes His will from His Father's.

But let us first hear Jesus Himself.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Jesus said:

“For I have come down from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me.”
— John 6:38, BLB

Notice the two expressions:

“MY WILL”

and:

“THE WILL OF THE ONE HAVING SENT ME.”

Jesus distinguishes between them.

We see this even more dramatically in Gethsemane:

“Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You.”
— Matthew 26:39, BLB

Again:

JESUS' WILL

and:

HIS FATHER'S WILL.

And Jesus voluntarily submits His will to His Father.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is the same one true God as His Father, why does Jesus distinguish:

MY WILL

from:

YOUR WILL?

More importantly, why does one will submit to the other?

Jesus says:

“NOT AS I WILL, BUT AS YOU.”

This presents a relationship of submission.

One sends.

The other is sent.

One gives the command.

The other obeys.

One's will is submitted to the will of the other.

The question is:

Does that naturally describe two coequal persons of the same one God—or the perfectly obedient Son submitting Himself to His God and Father?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 28

THE FATHER KNEW SOMETHING JESUS DID NOT KNOW

This is related to an earlier contradiction, but it is important enough to examine again because it directly concerns knowledge.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

If the Son possesses the same divine nature as the Father, traditional Trinitarian theology holds that the Son is divine and therefore omniscient.

The Athanasian tradition describes the Father and Son as coequal, with neither greater nor less in their deity. (Church of England)

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Jesus said:

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of the heavens, nor the Son, except the Father only.”
— Matthew 24:36, BLB

Notice exactly what Jesus says:

THE ANGELS DO NOT KNOW.

THE SON DOES NOT KNOW.

THE FATHER ALONE KNOWS.

Jesus also says:

“…I do nothing from Myself, but as the Father taught Me, I speak these things.”
— John 8:28, BLB

Again, Jesus presents His teaching as something received:

“THE FATHER TAUGHT ME.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus and His Father possess identically unlimited divine knowledge, how can:

THE FATHER KNOW

something:

THE SON DOES NOT KNOW?

And why does Jesus say His Father taught Him?

Trinitarian theology generally answers by appealing to Christ's incarnation and the relationship between His divine and human natures.

But notice Jesus' actual terminology in Matthew 24:36.

He does not say:

“My human nature does not know.”

He says:

“NOR THE SON.”

And then:

“THE FATHER ONLY.”

So the question remains:

How can the Son be coequal in omniscience with the Father while the Father knows something the Son explicitly says He does not know?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 29

WHO DID JESUS SAY CREATED HUMANITY?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity teaches that the Son participated in creation and that creation is the work of the triune God.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

When Jesus was questioned concerning marriage, He referred His listeners back to Genesis:

“Have you not read that the One having created from the beginning made them male and female?”
— Matthew 19:4, BLB

Notice Jesus' wording:

“THE ONE HAVING CREATED.”

Jesus speaks of the Creator in the third person.

Elsewhere Scripture says:

“Have we not all one Father? Has not one God created us?”
— Malachi 2:10

And Hezekiah prayed:

“Yahweh, God of Israel… You are God, You alone… You have made heaven and earth.”
— 2 Kings 19:15

Notice the language:

“YOU ARE GOD, YOU ALONE.”

And:

“YOU HAVE MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus wanted His listeners to understand that He Himself was the Creator of Adam and Eve, Matthew 19:4 provided an obvious opportunity to say so.

Instead, Jesus says:

“THE ONE HAVING CREATED…MADE THEM.”

He speaks about the Creator as another.

And the Old Testament repeatedly identifies that Creator as Yahweh, the God of Israel.

So we must ask:

When Jesus speaks about “the One having created,” whom did Jesus Himself understand that Creator to be?

This question becomes especially important when we remember that Jesus repeatedly identifies His Father as His God.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 30

WHO DOES THE OLD TESTAMENT SAY CREATED THE HEAVENS AND EARTH?

Now we come to an especially important subject because several New Testament passages are commonly used to argue that Jesus personally created the universe.

But before interpreting those passages, we should establish what the Old Testament says.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian Christianity teaches that Jesus, as the eternal divine Son, participated in the creation of all things.

Passages such as John 1:3, John 1:10, Colossians 1:16 and Hebrews 1:2 are commonly understood in this way.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

God declares through Isaiah:

“I have made the earth, and created man upon it. I—My hands—have stretched out the heavens, and I have commanded all their host.”
— Isaiah 45:12

Notice the singular language:

“I HAVE MADE.”

“MY HANDS.”

Hezekiah likewise prayed:

“Yahweh, God of Israel… You are God, You alone… You have made heaven and earth.”
— 2 Kings 19:15

Isaiah contains an even stronger statement:

“I am Yahweh, making all things, stretching out the heavens by Myself, spreading out the earth—who was with Me?”
— Isaiah 44:24

Those words deserve very careful attention:

“BY MYSELF.”

And:

“WHO WAS WITH ME?”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If another coequal divine person was alongside Yahweh personally creating the universe, how should we understand Yahweh saying:

“I…STRETCH OUT THE HEAVENS BY MYSELF”?

And:

“WHO WAS WITH ME?”

This is why passages such as John 1:3, Colossians 1:16 and Hebrews 1:2 need to be examined very carefully rather than simply assuming what they mean.

If our interpretation of those New Testament passages makes them contradict Yahweh's explicit declaration:

“BY MYSELF”

then perhaps our interpretation deserves another look.

The Bible cannot contradict itself.

We have only eight contradictions remaining.

In Part Seven, we will examine Contradictions 31–35, including some of the most fascinating questions in the entire series:

Who is the Helper in John 14?

Did Jesus exist eternally without beginning, or was He begotten and born?

If Jesus is the image of God, can He be the same God whose image He is?

If the Holy Spirit is a separate divine person, who is actually Jesus' Father according to Luke 1:35?

And:

Is Jesus the Most High God—or the Son of the Most High God?

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART SEVEN — THE HOLY SPIRIT, THE BIRTH OF JESUS, AND THE MOST HIGH GOD

We have now examined 30 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

In Part Seven we continue with Contradictions 31–35.

As before:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 31

WHO IS THE HELPER IN JOHN 14?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Holy Spirit is a separate divine person, distinct from the Father and the Son.

John 14:16 is often used to support this:

“And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you to the age.”
— John 14:16, BLB

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

But notice what Jesus says only two verses later:

“I will not leave you as orphans; I am coming to you.”
— John 14:18, BLB

This is extremely important.

Jesus first speaks of:

“ANOTHER HELPER”

and then immediately says:

“I AM COMING TO YOU.”

Jesus also says concerning the Spirit of truth:

“You know Him, because He abides with you and will be in you.”
— John 14:17, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If the Helper is a completely separate person from Jesus, why does Jesus immediately say:

“I AM COMING TO YOU”?

The Trinitarian interpretation says Jesus and the Holy Spirit are distinct persons.

But the passage itself creates an important question:

Could Jesus be speaking of His own continuing presence with His disciples through the Spirit?

This deserves careful examination.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 32

DID JESUS HAVE NO BEGINNING?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Historic Trinitarian doctrine teaches that the Son is eternal, existing before His human birth and having no beginning in time.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

The Gospel birth accounts repeatedly describe Jesus as being conceived and born.

The angel told Mary:

“And behold, you will conceive in womb, and will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus.”
— Luke 1:31, BLB

Matthew likewise says:

“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus…”
— Matthew 1:21, BLB

And:

“…until she had brought forth a Son, and he called His name Jesus.”
— Matthew 1:25, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus existed eternally as a conscious divine person before Mary conceived Him, what exactly began in Mary's womb?

The Trinitarian answer is that the eternal Son assumed human nature and was born as man.

But the biblical text itself repeatedly presents Jesus as:

CONCEIVED

BORN

BROUGHT FORTH

This raises the question:

Does Scripture explicitly teach an eternal pre-human person called “God the Son,” or does it present the Son as coming into existence through God's miraculous begetting in Mary?

That is the issue that needs to be examined from the text itself.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 33

JESUS IS THE IMAGE OF GOD

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

The Trinity teaches that Jesus is fully God.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Paul says:

“Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.”
— Colossians 1:15, BLB

Notice the expression:

“THE IMAGE OF THE INVISIBLE GOD.”

An image represents another.

Jesus is described as the image of God.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is Himself the same one true God, why does Paul call Him:

THE IMAGE OF GOD

rather than simply:

GOD HIMSELF?

The distinction becomes especially important because Paul identifies the one God elsewhere as:

“One God, the Father…”
— 1 Corinthians 8:6, BLB

So we must ask:

Can someone be the image of another person and simultaneously be that same person?

Trinitarians answer that Jesus perfectly reveals the invisible God because He shares the divine nature.

But the text still distinguishes:

THE IMAGE

from:

THE GOD WHOSE IMAGE HE IS.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 34

IF THE HOLY SPIRIT IS A SEPARATE PERSON, WHO IS JESUS' FATHER?

This is one of the most interesting questions in the whole series.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Trinitarian doctrine teaches that:

The Father is one divine person.
The Son is another divine person.
The Holy Spirit is another divine person.

The three are distinct persons within the one God.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

The angel tells Mary:

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the Holy One being born will be called the Son of God.”
— Luke 1:35, BLB

Notice carefully:

THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL COME UPON YOU

and:

THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH WILL OVERSHADOW YOU

The result is:

“THE SON OF GOD.”

Jesus later says:

“Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?”
— John 10:36, BLB

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If the Holy Spirit is a separate divine person who directly causes the conception of Jesus, why is Jesus called:

THE SON OF THE FATHER

rather than:

THE SON OF THE HOLY SPIRIT?

The biblical account does not present the Holy Spirit as Jesus' separate divine Father.

Instead, Luke connects the Holy Spirit with:

“THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH.”

This raises a major question for the doctrine of the Holy Spirit as a separate divine person:

Is Luke describing another divine person—or God's own power acting upon Mary?

That is a question the text itself invites.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 35

IS JESUS THE MOST HIGH GOD — OR THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that Jesus is fully God and therefore shares the divine identity of the Most High.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

The angel Gabriel says:

“He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High…”
— Luke 1:32, BLB

And again:

“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore also the Holy One being born will be called the Son of God.”
— Luke 1:35, BLB

Notice the distinction:

THE MOST HIGH

and:

THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.

Jesus is not called:

THE MOST HIGH GOD.

He is called:

THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Jesus is Himself the Most High God, why does Scripture distinguish Him as:

THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH?

A son is not the same person as his father.

The Trinitarian answer is that Father and Son are distinct persons sharing the same divine nature.

But again we must ask:

Does Luke's language naturally teach “God the Son,” or does it identify Jesus as the Son of the one called the Most High?

The inspired wording is clear:

“SON OF THE MOST HIGH.”

That distinction should not be ignored.

PART SEVEN — WHAT HAVE WE DISCOVERED?

We have now examined 35 of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

In this part we have seen that:

JESUS SAYS, “I AM COMING TO YOU,” IN THE CONTEXT OF THE HELPER.

JESUS WAS CONCEIVED AND BORN.

JESUS IS CALLED THE IMAGE OF GOD.

LUKE CONNECTS THE HOLY SPIRIT WITH THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH.

JESUS IS CALLED THE SON OF THE MOST HIGH.

Again, the issue is not whether Jesus is unique.

He absolutely is.

The question is whether Scripture identifies Him as:

THE ONE TRUE GOD

or as:

THE SON OF THE ONE TRUE GOD.

Only three contradictions remain.

In Part Eight — the final conclusion, we will examine:

Who is actually shown on the throne of God?

Who did Jesus Himself call “the only true God”?

And finally:

What identity did God Himself give Jesus?

Those final three points bring the entire 38-part comparison to its conclusion.

QUICK FACTS: 38 TRINITY CONTRADICTIONS

PART EIGHT — FINAL CONCLUSION: WHO DID JESUS SAY IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD?

We have reached the final part of our examination of the 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

Throughout this series we have followed the same method:

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

We have tried to represent traditional Trinitarian doctrine fairly before comparing it directly with Scripture.

Now we come to Contradictions 36–38.

And appropriately, the final questions take us directly to the throne of God, John 17:3, and the identity God Himself gives to Jesus Christ.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 36

WHO IS ON THE THRONE — ONE GOD OR THREE PERSONS?

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that there is one God in three distinct persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The three persons are understood as coequal and coeternal, sharing completely in the one divine being.

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

Now look carefully at John's heavenly vision:

“And He came and took it out of the right hand of the One sitting on the throne.”
— Revelation 5:7, BLB

Who approaches the throne?

In context, it is the Lamb—Jesus Christ.

And from whom does He receive the scroll?

“THE ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE.”

So Revelation presents:

ONE SITTING ON THE THRONE

and:

THE LAMB APPROACHING HIM.

Jesus Himself makes a similar distinction:

“The one overcoming, I will give to him to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
— Revelation 3:21, BLB

Notice the distinction:

“MY THRONE”

and:

“MY FATHER…HIS THRONE.”

Hebrews likewise tells us:

“…Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith… sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”
— Hebrews 12:2, BLB

Jesus is therefore pictured:

AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD.

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three coequal persons within the same one God, why does Scripture repeatedly distinguish:

GOD ON HIS THRONE

from:

JESUS AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND?

And where in these throne scenes is the Holy Spirit presented as a third coequal person sitting alongside the Father and Son?

The argument is not that Trinitarians believe in three Gods—they explicitly reject tritheism.

The question is instead:

Does the biblical throne imagery naturally portray one God consisting of three coequal persons?

Or does it portray:

GOD

and:

HIS EXALTED SON AT HIS RIGHT HAND?

Jesus Himself said:

“I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.”
— Revelation 3:21, BLB

The Father possesses the throne.

Jesus is granted the extraordinary privilege of sitting with Him.

That distinction deserves careful attention.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 37

WHO DID JESUS CALL “THE ONLY TRUE GOD”?

We now arrive at what I believe is one of the most important verses in the entire Trinity discussion.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Trinitarian doctrine teaches that:

The Father is God.

The Son is God.

The Holy Spirit is God.

Yet there are not three Gods, but one God.

WHAT JESUS TEACHES

On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed directly to His Father:

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.”
— John 17:3, BLB

Read Jesus' words very carefully.

Jesus identifies the Father as:

“YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

And then distinguishes Himself:

“AND JESUS CHRIST WHOM YOU SENT.”

There are two clearly distinguished identities in Jesus' prayer:

1. THE FATHER — “THE ONLY TRUE GOD”

2. JESUS CHRIST — THE ONE WHOM THE ONLY TRUE GOD SENT

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

This creates one of the most direct questions in this entire study:

If Jesus wanted His followers to believe that He Himself and the Holy Spirit were equally included within “the only true God,” why did He address His Father specifically as “the only true God”?

Jesus does not pray:

“That they may know Us, the three persons who are the only true God.”

Nor does He say:

“That they may know Me as the only true God.”

Instead:

“YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

And:

“JESUS CHRIST WHOM YOU SENT.”

Trinitarians understand John 17:3 within the wider New Testament teaching about Christ and therefore do not interpret Jesus' words as excluding the Son from deity.

But the question remains:

What does Jesus' statement itself actually say?

The person Jesus is addressing—the Father—is called:

“THE ONLY TRUE GOD.”

And Jesus identifies Himself as the Messiah whom that God sent.

For a question as important as the identity of God, surely these words of Jesus deserve enormous weight.

TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO. 38

DID JESUS TEACH “I AM GOD” — OR “I AM THE SON OF GOD”?

We now reach the 38th and final claimed contradiction.

And perhaps there could be no better place to finish.

WHAT THE TRINITY TEACHES

Traditional Christianity teaches that Jesus is truly God and truly man.

For many Christians, believing in Christ's deity is therefore considered an essential part of orthodox Christian faith.

But what identity does the New Testament itself repeatedly give Jesus?

WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES

At the transfiguration, God declares:

“This is My Son, the Chosen One; listen to Him!”
— Luke 9:35, BLB

Notice God's identification:

“MY SON.”

When Jesus was accused of making Himself God, Jesus responded:

“Do you say of Him whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am Son of God’?”
— John 10:36, BLB

Jesus identifies His own claim:

“I AM SON OF GOD.”

Peter confessed:

“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
— Matthew 16:16, BLB

And finally, John tells us exactly why he wrote his Gospel:

“But these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in His name.”
— John 20:31, BLB

This is extraordinarily important.

John does not conclude his Gospel by saying:

“These things were written so that you may believe Jesus is God.”

His stated purpose is:

“THAT YOU MAY BELIEVE THAT JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD.”

WHERE IS THE CONTRADICTION?

If the essential biblical confession concerning Jesus were:

“JESUS IS GOD”

why does John explicitly tell us that the purpose of his Gospel is that we believe:

“JESUS IS THE CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD”?

And why does Jesus Himself say:

“I AM SON OF GOD”?

And why does God Himself declare:

“THIS IS MY SON”?

This does not diminish Jesus.

It identifies Him exactly as Scripture identifies Him:

THE CHRIST

THE SON OF GOD

THE ONE SENT BY GOD

THE LORD AND MESSIAH

THE SAVIOR THROUGH WHOM GOD GIVES ETERNAL LIFE

The question is whether we are satisfied with the identity Scripture gives Jesus—or whether we require an additional theological identity that Jesus never states in those words.

FINAL CONCLUSION

WHAT HAVE ALL 38 CONTRADICTIONS SHOWN?

We have now completed all 38 claimed Trinity Contradictions.

Throughout this study, a remarkable pattern has appeared again and again.

God says:

“THERE IS NO GOD WITH ME.”

Jesus repeats:

ONE LORD — JESUS CHRIST, HIS SON AND MESSIAH.

Paul writes:

“Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things and we for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ…”
— 1 Corinthians 8:6, BLB

And Jesus Himself gives us what should surely remain one of the controlling statements in this entire discussion:

“And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You sent.”
— John 17:3, BLB

DO NOT SIMPLY BELIEVE ME — EXAMINE THE SCRIPTURES

This entire series is intended to encourage investigation, not merely acceptance.

Read every passage in context.

Compare translations.

Examine the Hebrew and Greek where necessary.

Consider the strongest Trinitarian explanations.

And then compare those explanations with the actual words of God, Jesus, the prophets and the apostles.

Ask yourself:

Which understanding requires the fewest assumptions?

Which understanding best preserves the distinction Scripture repeatedly makes between God and His Son?

And most importantly—what did Jesus Himself believe about His God and Father?

The final words of the original study are therefore an appropriate place to finish:

“It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides Him.”
— Deuteronomy 4:35

And the Gospel gives us its equally clear confession concerning Jesus:

“…that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God…”
— John 20:31, BLB

ONE GOD.

HIS SON, JESUS CHRIST.

Examine the evidence.

Test everything.

And follow the truth wherever the Word of God leads.

PART 2 CHAPTER 9. THE ALLEGED ALIEN MEDICAL EXAMINATIONS

Thousands of people around the world have claimed that, during alleged alien encounters, they experienced unusual medical examinations, biological procedures, or unexplained physical interventions. This infographic introduces the major themes explored throughout Chapter 9, including reported implants, neurological testing, blood sampling, physical evidence, and the investigations of Dr. David Jacobs, Thomas Reed, L.A. Marzulli, and Dr. Roger Leir. The chapter also compares eyewitness testimony with sceptical viewpoints, scientific research, psychology, and the teaching of Scripture to encourage careful and balanced investigation.

How Did Jesus COME DOWN From Heaven, If He Was Not In Heaven?

John 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not that I should do My will, but the will of the One having sent Me. Most of Christianity are very confused and deceived into believing in a PRE-EXISTING Christ, who they say was WITH GOD before He was Begotten and BORN in the woman's womb, all because of what Jesus said by saying: HE CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN, as we read in scriptures like John 16:25, John 8:23, John 3:13, John 3:31, John 6:38, John 8:23. So in this short article, if you don't mind, can I, little old me, an ordinary man off the street, help out by sharing with you what I now know Jesus meant when He said in verses like John 8:23 And He was saying to them, "You are from below; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world.

Questions for Trinitarians!

Please give us ONE verse where Jesus is called the ONE TRUE GOD? Please give us ONE verse where GOD is said to be THREE PERSONS? 1. HOW MANY GODS are on the throne of GOD, as you also believe Jesus is GOD? 2. Where is the HOLY Spirit on the throne of GOD? 3. As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD? 4 Where did GOD say He was the SON? 5. Where did Jesus say He is GOD? 6. Where did GOD or Jesus say we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD to be saved? “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. 7. WHERE did GOD say He gave Himself to be crucified, if GOD is Jesus? 8. WHERE did GOD SAY the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? 9. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit in John 1:1? 10. WHERE is the HOLY Spirit on GODS THRONE, does He go on HOLIDAY? Is there ONE GOD, or THREE GODS, on the THRONE of GOD? 11. As there are NOT such teachings, WHY then do you believe what is NOT taught in the whole Bible? 12. As Jesus always taught ONE BIBLICAL SIMPLE FACT, that we MUST believe He is THE SON of His ONE TRUE GOD, how then do you think you will BE SAVED, for NOT believing in the REQUIREMENT of Salvation?

There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY!

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. There are NO such teaching saying we MUST BELIEVE Jesus is GOD or A TRINITY, but as St john has said: but he that believeth that *JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD?* 1 John 5:5. Notice we MUST believe Jesus is *THE SON OF GOD* 1 John 5:5. And yet MOST have been DECEIVED into believing the CATHOLIC doctrine that Jesus the Son of His GOD, is instead the SAME GOD He was BORN from, which makes GOD and His SON into LIARS, who have always declared they are a LITERAL Father and SON, and that GOD amazingly GAVE and SENT His SON, who BOTH have never taught, GOD GAVE HIMSELF, as a sacrifice for the sins of the world, but that GOD gave His BEGOTTEN SON Jesus, NOT to condemn us, but save us by GODS own Son PAYING THE PRICE FOR OUR SINS. And as Jesus has said: ETERNAL LIFE is believing His Father GOD, is the only ONE TRUE GOD, alone. John 17:3. *Which is the FIRST commandment one MUST believe, that GOD IS one person, NOT THREE CALLED THE CATHOLIC PAGAN TRINITY, Mark 12:29.* It was shown to you so that you might know that Yahweh is God. There is no one else besides him. Deuteronomy 4:35. This ONE single scripture of Deuteronomy 4:35, PROVES the TRINITY is false, because the TRINITY teaches there are THREE Gods SIDE by SIDE, and not ONE GOD.

My 12 Commandments.

Learn to be a better person, tuning and turning your weaknesses and failures to strengths and triumph's. Don't be angry with anyone, instead show love and patience that comes from our heavenly Father.

Don't let your heart rule your head, but the word and wisdom of GOD instead.

Don't let PRIDE rule your life, but be Humbled instead.

Don't let sex lead you astray, or it will destroy you in every way.

Don't let Money be your GOD, or it will separate you from GOD.

Let GOD rule your life, and strive to be perfect like the Christ.

In the good times and the bad times, Love GOD above all things, with all your being, and you will be a child of GOD.

Trust and follow GOD'S only begotten Son with all your heart, mind and soul, and He will be your perfect brother, King, and advocate.

Be a good Samaritan, by loving your neighbour, and helping when you can, and make GOD smile.

Give to the poor people, and GOD will give to you.

Keep and obey GOD and His Sons Commandments and teachings, for this is the duty of man.

Jeremiah 23:5,6 – Our Righteousness

Jeremiah 23:5 – Behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will raise to David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land.” Jeremiah 23:6 – In his days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely; and this is his name whereby he shall be called: Yahweh our righteousness. World English Bible translation. Many quote the above scripture to support the claim that Jesus is Yahweh. The claim is that Jesus is being called “Yahweh (Jehovah) in Jeremiah 23:6, thus Jesus must be Yahweh. We have shown elsewhere that Jesus is the Son of the unipersonal God, he wassent by Yahweh, he spoke for Yahweh, etc. See: Jesus is Not Yahweh But let us examine Jeremiah 23:5,6: FULL ARTICLE HERE https://tanah44.wixsite.com/biblijaimi/jeremiah-236--our-righteousness

Correcting False Teachers:

And He said to them, "Having gone into all the world, proclaim the gospel to all the creation. Mark 16:15.

Let's strive to be as gentle as doves and self-controlled, and as 1 Peter 3:8 tells us to have sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind, when declaring the truth, but when the truth is so often rejected, I believe there are times when we need to be aggressive to expose wickedness and seriousness, when there are countless false teachings in most churches today which is no joke.

This is interesting to read what Paul and Trinitarians like Pulpit Commentary say about exposing wickedness:

And do not have fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even expose them. Ephesians 5:11.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 11. - And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness. The point of this exhortation is in the adjective "unfruitful." The works of darkness are unfruitful; they produce no goodness, give rise to no satisfaction, to no moral results that are "a joy forever;" or, if fruit they have, it is shame, remorse, despair. Contrast this with the renovating, satisfying, joy-producing, fruits of righteousness. But rather even reprove them. Do not be content with a passive attitude towards them, BUT TAKE THE AGGRESSIVE AND EXPOSE THEIR WICKEDNESS, whether in public or in the domestic circle. A testimony has to be lifted up against ways that are so shameful and that bring down the wrath of God.

Paul continues to say:

But those sinning, REBUKE before all, so that the rest might have FEAR as well. 1 Timothy 5:20.

holding fast the faithful word which is in accordance with the teaching, so that he will be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to REFUTE those who contradict. Titus 1:9.

Correcting False Teachers:

10 For there are also many insubordinate, empty talkers, and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision, 11 whom it is necessary to silence, who overthrow whole households, teaching things that they ought not for the sake of base gain. 12 One of them, a prophet of their own, said, “Cretans are always liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.”a

13 This testimony is true, for which cause rebuke them severely, so that they may be sound in the faith, 14 not giving heed to Jewish myths and the commandments of men turning away from the truth.

15 To the pure all things are pure; but to those being defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure. Instead, both their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in their works they deny Him, being detestable and disobedient and unfit for any good work.

Matthew 7: Berean Literal Bible

15 Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. 16 By their fruits you will recognize them. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17 So every good tree bears good fruits, but the rotten tree bears bad fruits. 18 A good tree is not able to bear bad fruits, nor a bad tree to bear good fruits. 19 Every tree not bearing good fruit is cut down and is thrown into fire. 20 Then surely by their fruits you will recognize them.

21 Not everyone saying to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of My Father in the heavens. 22 Many will say to Me in that the day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 And then I will declare unto them, ‘I never knew you; depart you from Me, those working lawlessness.’

Below in 2 Peter 2: we find a perfect teaching exposing most of Christianity as being deceived, and most as being false teachers, who wrongly believe, say, and teach Jesus is GOD, which DENIES Jesus as the SON of His One True GOD, John 10:36, John 17:3, DENYING also GOD gave His SON, NOT HIMSELF John 3:16, DENYING also the Father and the SON Luke 9:35, and Yahweh GOD as GOD alone Isaiah 45:18, Isaiah 45:22, Job 23:13, 2 Kings 19:15. Isaiah 44:24, Nehemiah 9:6. Mark 12:29, Deuteronomy 6:4.

Berean Literal Bible Deliverance from False Prophets. 2 Peter 2:

1 But there were also false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you also, who will stealthily introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master having bought them, bringing upon themselves swift destruction. 2And many will follow after their sensuality, through whom the way of the truth will be maligned. 3 And through covetousness they will exploit you with fabricated words, for whom the judgment of long ago is not idle, and their destruction does not slumber.

What Emma and I Simon Brown believe?

We believe the MAIN Catholic doctrine of the Trinity is FALSE. GOD, is a single being which is strongly declared in the Bible. I am YAHWEH, and there is no other; THERE IS NO GOD BUT ME. Isaiah 45:5 HCSB. GOD ALMIGHTY makes this clear He is ONE GOD and NOT THREE called The Trinity. We know longer believe in the Trinity. We believe the Trinity is false. There is only ONE TRUE GOD said Jesus, who is His father. And this is eternal life, that they know YOU, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3. I Simon Brown discovered the Trinity was false in January of 2016. My Wife confessed the same in January of 2017. We now both believe the Trinity is the greatest Christian deception in history. We believe GOD is ONE being as Jesus taught in Mark 12:29. and not THREE called the Trinity. We believe Jesus is truly the begotten SON. You can read my research on this blog and make up your own mind.

Over 100 Questions, If you believe Jesus Is GOD?

Would you PLEASE Help with some Simple Questions? If Jesus were GOD, WHY didn’t Jesus simply say to the Jews (I am GOD) in John 10:36, instead of saying: ‘I am the Son of God’? As Jesus has a GOD, how is Jesus that SAME GOD John 20:17? WHERE did GOD say He was the SON? WHERE did the SON say He was GOD? WHERE is it written ANYWHERE in the Bible saying the HOLY Spirit is a separate person? Is Jesus GOD or the Lamb of GOD? TRUE of FALSE as MOST teach we MUST believe Jesus is GOD to be saved?

The History of The Doctrine of the Trinity The True Scriptural Picture:

Jesus is the Son of God; not God the Son

The title of this commentary is: FOREKNOWLEDGE AND PREDESTINATION DOES NOT MEAN PREEXISTENCE.

Dear friends, I Simon Brown have added this very useful info I received last year to share with you here on my blog, from Don Smith. Don Smith. I would like to offer some of the Biblical evidence I have gathered that refutes preexistence. In this post below I don't deal with all the verses that seem to imply a preexistence for Jesus. I can do that in separate commentary on each scripture. I’m sure you will recognize that Anthony Buzzard and John Schoenheit have influenced me, as has Dustin Smith and Dale Tuggy, Too many other people to list off the top of my head.

FULL ARTICLE HERE:

The Challenge Facing Trinitarianism Today.

Anthony F. Buzzard, M.A. (Oxon.), M.A.Th. Contemporary Trinitarianism faces a formidable battery of arguments which have undermined some of its cherished biblical “proofs.” Unknown to most churchgoers there is a corpus of non-Trinitarian (in fact, if not in name) rather than anti-Trinitarian literature which in various ways abandons some of the main props of Trinitarianism. Anti-Trinitarianism has long presented its case by showing that various orthodox Trinitarians have explained key Trinitarian verses in a unitarian way.

THE MOST SHOCKING BIBLE PROPHECY MATTHEW 7-23!

In this new video I reveal how the TRUE PROPHETS, Teachers and preachers like Sir Anthony Buzzard are mostly rejected, showing how History has repeated itself, while the FALSE Teachers and preachers are mostly accepted. I Simon Brown then go on to reveal the SHOCKING TRUTH, and demonstrate who were the FIRST FALSE PROPHETS, which is oddly revealed to us by the very FALSE PROPHETS of today, who we were so often warned about by Jesus, John Paul, and Peter, that we were not to be deceived by, and yet we discover a SHOCKING truth, how most of Christianity have followed in the footsteps of the very first FALSE PROPHETS.

Who is Jesus?

Who is Jesus?. He is GOD Almighty’s only BEGOTTEN Son, John 3:16, who became the Word of GOD for His GOD, Rev 19:13, He is the image of the invisible God, Colossians 1:15, 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, and the High Priest, Advocate, and Mediator, Hebrews 5:10, 6:20, 7:3, and the Messenger, and prophet, Matthew 21:11, Luke 24:19, Acts 3:22-23, Deuteronomy 18:15, He is the Messiah (who is called Christ), John 4:25, He is the bread of life, John 6:48, He is the light of the world. John 8:12, He is the way and the truth and the life, John 14:6, He is the gate, John 10:9, He is the resurrection and the life, John 11:25, For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Ephesians 2:18. We PRAISE Jesus for bringing us to His Father, the only ONE TRUE GOD: And we know that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true; and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life. 1 John 5:20. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living GOD. Matthew 16:16. And that by believing, you may have life, in his name. John 20:31. Amen. Simon Brown.

THE DANGER OF SIN:

When we WILFULLY sin and let sin in, we let the DEVIL in, and throw GOD in the bin.

By NOT letting sin in we are proving to GOD and His Son we love and respect them.

DON’T let Sex RULE your head, but the word of GOD instead, which proves you love GOD more instead.

Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.” John 14:21.

Jesus answered him, “If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. John 14:23.

Truly, truly, I say to you, if anyone keeps my word, he will never see death.” John 8:51.

Don’t be deceived like most who live by GRACE on STEROIDS, and discover you were a foolish Virgin.

THE SHOCKING TRUTH:

There are many false gods, with many false Christ’s, with many false faiths, with many false prophets, who are mostly accepted, with many false teachings, with most being deceived, with many deceptions, with many BLACK HOLES that lead to HELL, where MOST go the easy way.

There is only one true GOD, and one true CHRIST, and one true FAITH, and few TRUE prophets who are mostly rejected by their correct teachings who are mostly neglected.

There is one NARROW road that leads to heaven that only goes through the one true Christ that gets us to the ALMIGHTY GOD where MANY are called, but FEW are CHOSEN.

And yet all is needed to gain eternal life, is to believe and follow what GOD and His Son only ever taught, that GOD is one person, and that Christ is the only Begotten SON of the ONE TRUE GOD, and that by believing we must take up our cross and follow Christ.

Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life. John 5:24. 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. And this is eternal life, that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3.

Evolution Blown to Pieces. Read for FREE.

Evolutionist teach and believe the age of the Earth must be 4.54 billion years old for natural selection to progress and work for organs to adapt into complex life. However the Evolutionary theory is in complete conflict with all the present day authorities who are in absolute agreement with the Natural History Museum who all believe the Earth is only 4,600 million years old, because of the Geological Column of the Earth's history. This poses a ''severe problem'' for the theory of Evolution. It would simply not be possible for natural selection to adapt from single-celled organisms into highly complex life. The chances of Evolution in such a short time would be like seeing pigs fly. There again we now know fish can fly, which Evolutionist believe and teach jumped out of the water and became complex you and me.

Remember what Jesus taught in his important parables. Like: The Talents (Mt 25:14-30)

Many are the lessons that can be gleaned from this parable of “The Talents”. The main lesson is simple: Be productive where the Lord has given you ability and opportunity! Teaching God's love, grace, forgiveness and mercy? including declaring the terrors of the Lord, and of hell, and of everlasting damnation: to the UNBELIEVERS? THE PARABLE APPLIED. By Mark A. Copeland. 1. Main points of the parable: a. Be faithful in using the opportunities for service which the Lord has given us b. Diligence is rewarded; negligence is punished 2. Other points to be noted (adapted from Hendricksen’s commentary): a. Whatever we have, whether opportunities or abilities, belongs to God; we may possess, but God owns; we are simply stewards - Mt 25:14. READ The Parables of Jesus. By Mark A. Copeland.

There is absolutely NO evidence of (one single ancestor to a single insect. Or Animal. Or us humans, revealing their ancestors showing transition, transformation, adaptation, changeover, which is a process or a period of changing from one state or condition to another called Evolution. EVOLUTION IS THE GREATEST DECEPTION IN THE WORLD.

Only WISE people can look up into the glorious complex heavens, and understand the wonders of this earth, the complex DNA, the building blocks of life, could NOT possibly have come into existence by random chance.

But as we are told, throughout the Bible, all the glorious wonders we see, through our complex human eyes, were created by an intelligent designer. As our complex clocks work, houses, aeroplanes, boats, and cars and the amazing technology of computers, of which NONE came into being were caused by a BIG BANG, which does not create, but DESTROYS everything in its path, so was all the wonders we have today were built by intelligent designers called HUMANS.

This explains why Sir Isaac Newton, Biography Philosopher, Astronomer, Physicist, Scientist, Mathematician (1643–1727) understood the truth and said: The true God is a living, intelligent and powerful Being. Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion.

God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.

This most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets, could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.

This Being governs all things, not as the soul of the world, but as Lord over all; and on account of his dominion he is wont to be called Lord God. Sir Isaac Newton: https://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.com/2015/01/sir-isaac-newton-and-albert-einstein.html

Heritage of Evidence: In the British Museum Paperback.

In today's atheistic climate most people have no idea how much powerful evidence exists for the literal accuracy and authenticity of the biblical record.

It has been designed as a guide for visitors, and also to give pleasure and interest to readers unable to tour the galleries. It is also most suitable for people who need to see the accuracy and inspiration of the Bible. Order a copy from here. See more books on Bible evidence at the bottom of this page.

God/Jesus is the source of ALL love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. Jesus was nailed to a cross.

NOT to condemn us. BUT to SAVE us. Why is Jesus second coming taking so long? But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:8 - 9. King James Bible. Do you know Him? He is coming back ''in our life time'' to take ALL the people who accepted His love, Mercy, Forgiveness and Grace. The good news is, for the ones who follow and put their trust in Jesus will live on for ever and will go in a perfect paradise to come, where God will restore the world back to being more than perfect. And: He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." Revelation 21:4 As born again believers, we look forward for the time when Jesus will restore the world back to Paradise; and where there will never again be any more suffering or pain, dying or killing. We look forward to seeing the day when, "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." Isaiah 11:6. Dear friend, WILL YOU BE THERE? Where will your soul end up? Are you saved? Click here to give your life to Jesus. Jesus came to set us free by reversing the curse of the earth and death that came because of Adam's disobedience, when the earth was cursed. Once we accept Jesus, as He was raised from the dead, so are we directly at death and are ''set free'' from the curse, sin and the spiritual prison called (HADES) followed by Hell and death. This is why Jesus was crucified.

NEVER GIVE UP SEEKING GOD AND HIS TRUTH

Never give up loving God. Never give up loving one another. Never give up praying. Never give up repenting when you have done wrong. Never give up forgiving others. And never give up SEEKING, STUDYING and SEARCHING the Scriptures for truth. Do not simply believe something because I say it. Do not believe something merely because a church, denomination, pastor, priest or teacher tells you it is true. SEARCH THE SCRIPTURES FOR YOURSELF. This is exactly what the Bereans did. The Bible praises them because they listened with an open mind, but then carefully checked what they had been taught against the Scriptures: “These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so.” — Acts 17:11, KJV What a wonderful example for every Christian. They did not blindly accept what they were told. THEY SEARCHED THE SCRIPTURES DAILY. They examined the evidence. They tested what they heard. They wanted to know whether these things were really true. We should do exactly the same today. KEEP SEARCHING. KEEP LEARNING. KEEP PRAYING. KEEP FORGIVING. KEEP LOVING. KEEP FOLLOWING JESUS. AND NEVER STOP SEARCHING THE SCRIPTURES FOR THE TRUTH. Because discovering the truth about God and His Son Jesus Christ is a treasure worth seeking for the rest of our lives. “Search the scriptures.” — John 5:39, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

A REMARKABLE EVIDENCE FOR THE BIBLE — THE UNBELIEF IT PREDICTED

There is a remarkable fact about the Bible that is often overlooked. The Bible never predicted that everyone would believe its message. Quite the opposite. Jesus and the biblical writers repeatedly warned that MANY PEOPLE WOULD NOT BELIEVE. Nearly 2,000 years later, that unbelief continues. Millions of people reject the Bible. Millions do not believe Jesus was the Messiah. Millions do not believe in the God whom Jesus proclaimed. But here is the fascinating point: THE BIBLE SAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN. JESUS SAID THE WORLD DID NOT KNOW GOD Shortly before His death, Jesus prayed to His Father: “O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee...” — John 17:25, KJV Notice what Jesus said: “THE WORLD HATH NOT KNOWN THEE.” Jesus did not predict that His message would immediately convince the entire world. He recognised that much of the world DID NOT KNOW GOD. JESUS SAID MANY WOULD CHOOSE THE BROAD WAY Jesus gave another sobering warning: “Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it.” — Matthew 7:13–14, KJV Notice the contrast: MANY — THE BROAD WAY. FEW — FIND THE WAY TO LIFE. Jesus never taught that the majority would necessarily accept the truth. JESUS ALSO SAID PEOPLE COULD SEE WITHOUT PERCEIVING Jesus said: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV People could actually hear Jesus speaking. They could see what He was doing. Yet many still did not believe. Jesus therefore anticipated something that continues to happen: PEOPLE WOULD HEAR THE MESSAGE AND STILL REJECT IT. DO NON-BELIEVERS “PROVE” THE BIBLE? We should state this carefully. The existence of unbelievers does not, by itself, prove every claim contained in the Bible. However, widespread unbelief is certainly CONSISTENT WITH what Jesus and the biblical writers said we should expect. And that raises an interesting question: If unbelief in Jesus and the biblical message is supposed to disprove Christianity, why did Jesus Himself repeatedly warn His followers that unbelief would occur? The Bible did not promise: “EVERYONE WILL BELIEVE.” Instead, it warned us that many WOULD NOT. THE PROPHECY OF ISAIAH This pattern existed long before the ministry of Jesus. Jesus quoted Isaiah: “By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14; compare Isaiah 6:9 Jesus applied this ancient warning to the unbelief He encountered during His own ministry. Therefore unbelief was not something that took Jesus by surprise. THE QUESTION FOR EVERY READER The important question is not: DO MOST PEOPLE BELIEVE? Truth is not determined by a majority vote. The important question is: IS IT TRUE? Was Jesus really the Messiah? Did God really raise Jesus from the dead? Is the Bible historically reliable? Were its prophecies fulfilled? Does the evidence support its claims? Those questions must be investigated on their own merits. DO NOT FOLLOW THE CROWD — FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE If millions believe something, that does not automatically make it true. And if millions reject something, that does not automatically make it false. Jesus Himself warned that the way followed by the majority is not necessarily the way leading to life. So investigate for yourself. READ. SEARCH. QUESTION. COMPARE THE EVIDENCE. OPEN YOUR BIBLE. And above all, seek the God whom Jesus called: “O RIGHTEOUS FATHER.” — John 17:25 Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

The Pearl Of Great Price.

I believe there are many many people who are spiritually hungry and are spiritually searching for evidence of God, which I believe was clearly illustrated by Jesus in His parable called The Pearl Of Great Price in Matthew 13:45-46. Although this parable told by Jesus was illustrating the value and preciousness of the kingdom, Jesus also illustrated a merchant, who was "searching" for that "pearl of great price". which I believe was a person who was on a mission to find the truth of God. (Just as people who are looking at Bible Discoveries and The Shroud of Turin) who find the truth of God, if they have open hearts. Who believe there is something out there worth looking for, or they would not be seeking for it. As was the merchant, "searching" for that "pearl of great price". After seeking (Bible Evidence) They discovered The Pearl Of Great Price. Jesus Christ himself (becoming Born Again) and experience the ultimate blessings of the "kingdom of heaven" I pray ALL scoffers and the Doubting Thomas will change their way of thinking and use Bible Evidence to bring the lost to faith and know the saving grace of Jesus Christ, and testify to the majority of the world who are lost and not as blessed as born again believers, who clearly need to see the evidence of Jesus to bring them to faith. Which is precisely why Jesus said in Matthew 7:7 seek, and ye shall find.

(The prophecy still being fulfilled today confirming the accuracy of Jesus teachings)

He (Jesus) answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you (Believers) to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, (The truth regarding God and his Kingdom) but to them (Unbelievers) it is not given. For whosoever hath, (Faith in Jesus ) to him shall be given, (The Holy Spirit teaches believers the truth and mysteries) and he shall have more abundance: (For ever learning the truth) but whosoever hath not, (Unbelievers) from him shall be taken away (Satan takes the truth from Unbelievers) even that he hath. (any truth that is told to unbelievers is removed) Matthew 13:11 - 12. (King James Version) Quick Commentary by Simon Brown.

WHY CAN BRILLIANT MINDS LOOK AT CREATION AND NOT SEE A CREATOR?

Why do some of the brightest, most highly educated and scientifically accomplished people in the world look at this extraordinary planet — filled with life, information, order and astonishing complexity — yet conclude that no Creator is necessary? How can two people look at the same universe, the same stars, the same Earth and the same extraordinary complexity of life, yet reach completely different conclusions? One sees evidence of an INTELLIGENT CREATOR. The other sees only natural processes. The Bible gives us a spiritual explanation that deserves serious consideration. Jesus said: “And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” — John 3:19, KJV Jesus was teaching something profound about human nature. Our conclusions are not always determined by intelligence alone. The HEART matters too. A person can possess extraordinary intelligence, education and scientific knowledge and still reject the things of God. According to Jesus, human beings can resist the light because they prefer darkness. This does not mean that every unbelieving scientist is deliberately dishonest or consciously rejecting evidence. Nor should Christians assume that intelligence and education are enemies of faith. Many outstanding scientists throughout history have believed in God. The deeper biblical point is that intelligence alone does not guarantee spiritual understanding. THE APOSTLE PAUL EXPLAINS FURTHER Paul wrote: “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.” — 1 Corinthians 2:14, KJV What one person considers foolishness, another may recognise as profound truth. The Bible teaches that there is more involved in knowing God than possessing a brilliant mind. There must also be a willingness to SEEK Him. SIN CAN DARKEN THE HUMAN HEART The Bible repeatedly warns that sin can influence the way human beings think and perceive spiritual truth. When people continually choose darkness rather than light, their hearts can become hardened. A hardened heart can then affect the mind. And a person who refuses God's truth can become increasingly vulnerable to deception. This is why Scripture repeatedly calls people to turn back to God. BUT THIS MESSAGE IS FOR BELIEVERS TOO Christians should never read these passages and simply point their fingers at unbelievers. We must examine OUR OWN hearts as well. Religious people can also become blinded by pride, tradition, prejudice and unwillingness to reconsider what they believe. Every one of us should therefore ask: AM I REALLY SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH? Would I change my beliefs if the evidence showed me that I was wrong? Am I listening to God — or merely defending what I already want to believe? LOOK AT THE EVIDENCE Look at the universe. Look at our extraordinary planet. Look at life. Look at DNA. Look at the astonishing order and complexity found throughout nature. Then ask one of the greatest questions a human being can ask: WHY DOES ANYTHING EXIST AT ALL? Do not believe merely because someone tells you to believe. But neither should you reject God merely because someone tells you that science has made Him unnecessary. SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. OPEN YOUR HEART. AND SEEK THE TRUTH. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

DID YOU KNOW?

Virtually all modern scholars of antiquity agree that Jesus existed, and most biblical scholars and historians see the theories of his non-existence as effectively refuted. In antiquity, the existence of Jesus was never denied by those who opposed Christianity. Geoffrey Blainey notes that a few scholars have argued that Jesus did not exist, but writes that Jesus' life was in fact "astonishingly documented" by the standards of the time - more so than any of his contemporaries - with numerous books, stories and memoirs written about him.

THE PEARL OF PROPHECY — STILL BEING FULFILLED TODAY

One of the most remarkable prophecies quoted by Jesus concerns something we can still observe today: People can SEE the evidence, yet not perceive its meaning. They can HEAR the message, yet not understand it. Why? Jesus explained: “Therefore speak I to them in parables: because they seeing see not; and hearing they hear not, neither do they understand.” — Matthew 13:13, KJV Jesus then pointed directly to an ancient prophecy from Isaiah: “And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Esaias, which saith, By hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand; and seeing ye shall see, and shall not perceive.” — Matthew 13:14, KJV Think about this carefully. Jesus was quoting a prophecy written centuries before His ministry, yet He said it was being fulfilled among the people listening to Him. But why could they not understand? Jesus continued: “For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed...” — Matthew 13:15, KJV Notice those final words: “THEIR EYES THEY HAVE CLOSED.” The problem was not simply a lack of evidence. Jesus pointed to the condition of the HEART. A person can examine the Bible, hear the words of Jesus and look at evidence concerning God, yet remain unconvinced if they have already closed their heart and mind to the possibility that it could be true. Jesus continued: “...lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.” — Matthew 13:15, KJV What an extraordinary statement. SEE WITH THEIR EYES. HEAR WITH THEIR EARS. UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART. TURN BACK. AND BE HEALED. A PROPHECY STILL WORTH THINKING ABOUT TODAY Nearly 2,000 years after Jesus spoke these words, people still respond to Him in dramatically different ways. Some examine the evidence and believe. Some investigate and remain unconvinced. Others reject Jesus, God and the Bible without seriously examining the evidence at all. Jesus warned us about something deeply human: We can look without truly seeing. We can listen without truly hearing. And we can approach evidence with a heart already closed to its conclusion. This is why I believe the words of Jesus remain extraordinarily relevant today. BUT JESUS ALSO GAVE HOPE Jesus did not merely speak about those who would not understand. He then turned to His disciples and said: “But blessed are your eyes, for they see: and your ears, for they hear.” — Matthew 13:16, KJV The message is therefore not that an unbeliever can NEVER understand. The invitation is to SEEK. To listen. To investigate. To question. To open your heart to the possibility that God is real and that Jesus truly is His Messiah. Jesus said elsewhere: “Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.” — Matthew 7:7, KJV QUICK COMMENTARY Evidence alone cannot force someone to believe. A person must be willing to examine it. If we approach God, Jesus and the Bible having already decided that none of them could possibly be true, then even powerful evidence may mean very little to us. But if we genuinely seek the truth with an open heart and mind, we may begin to see things we had previously overlooked. So whether you are a believer, an unbeliever, or simply unsure: SEARCH. QUESTION. INVESTIGATE. READ THE WORDS OF JESUS FOR YOURSELF. And follow the evidence wherever it leads. “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV Quick Commentary by Simon Brown REAL DISCOVERIES

CAN LIFE COME FROM NOTHING?

The extraordinary complexity of life raises one of the greatest questions we can ever ask: WHO CREATED IT ALL? A clock does not assemble itself. Its intricate parts point to intelligence, purpose and a designer. How much more does the astonishing complexity of life, the heavens and the earth point us toward an ALMIGHTY INTELLIGENT CREATOR? Who is He? The Bible gives us this beautiful answer: “And Hezekiah prayed before the LORD and said: ‘O LORD, the God of Israel, enthroned above the cherubim, you are THE God, you alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.’” — 2 Kings 19:15 The Creator is THE ONE TRUE GOD ALMIGHTY — the God who made heaven and earth. And according to the New Testament, God accomplished His saving purpose through His Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. Do you know them? Jesus prayed: “And this is eternal life, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” — John 17:3 To discover the One True God and His Son Jesus Christ is to discover a treasure greater than anything this world can offer — the hope of resurrection and everlasting life. Jesus also declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” — Matthew 24:14, KJV And He said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.” — Matthew 11:15, KJV The Apostle Paul explained the message of salvation: “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that GOD HATH RAISED HIM FROM THE DEAD, thou shalt be saved.” — Romans 10:9, KJV Notice those wonderful words: GOD RAISED JESUS FROM THE DEAD. The God who raised Jesus has also promised resurrection and everlasting life to those who belong to Him. So search for the truth. Open your Bible. Learn about THE ONE TRUE GOD and the Son whom He sent. You may discover the greatest hidden treasure of your life. Amen.

DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST IN MORTAL MAN — PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD

“Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Look at the heavens. Look at the magnificent universe, the earth, the oceans and the extraordinary complexity of life. Consider DNA — the remarkable information-bearing molecule at the heart of living organisms. A precision clock points us toward a clockmaker. How much more should the extraordinary order and complexity found throughout creation cause us to ask: WHO CREATED ALL OF THIS? The Bible gives us the answer: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.”— Genesis 1:1 The heavens and the earth point us toward the awesome power and wisdom of their Creator. The Bible asks: “Is anything too hard for the LORD?”— Genesis 18:14 And again: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there anything too hard for me?”— Jeremiah 32:27 The prophet Jeremiah declared: “Ah Lord GOD! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee.”— Jeremiah 32:17 What powerful words. NOTHING IS TOO HARD FOR GOD. Yet mankind repeatedly places its confidence in human beings rather than in the God who gave us life. Scripture warns: “Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.”— Psalm 146:3 Dear friends, let us seriously consider what the Bible tells us, because the question of God, salvation and everlasting life concerns our ultimate future. Jesus said: “He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.”— Matthew 11:15 The Psalms declare: “It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man.”— Psalm 118:8 And: “Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.”— Psalm 40:4 Isaiah warns: “Stop trusting in man, who has but a breath in his nostrils. Of what account is he?”— Isaiah 2:22 And Jeremiah gives an equally serious warning: “Cursed are those who put their trust in mere humans, who rely on human strength and turn their hearts away from the LORD.”— Jeremiah 17:5 The message could hardly be clearer: DO NOT PLACE YOUR ULTIMATE TRUST IN MAN. PUT YOUR TRUST IN GOD. Human beings come and go. Kingdoms rise and fall. Governments change. Human knowledge changes. But God remains. SEEK THE LORD WHILE HE MAY BE FOUND. Jesus declared: “And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.”— Matthew 24:14 Do not allow the distractions of this temporary life to prevent you from searching for the truth about God. Open your Bible. Seek God. Learn the teachings of Jesus Christ. Put your trust in the One who gave you life. And follow the Messiah whom God sent. “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.”— Isaiah 55:6 If you would like to learn more about following Jesus, surrendering your life to God and discovering the biblical message of salvation: CLICK HERE:http://wwwrealdiscoveriesorg-simon.blogspot.co.uk/2015/02/surrender-your-heart-to-god.html Amen.

IS THE TRINITY TRUE OR FALSE?

Dear friends for months, every day and night I have been doing some serious deep explosive research, including having hundreds of debates with Trinitarian Bible Teachers and Scholars while demanding real explanations on the doctrine of the TRINITY. I ask, how is GOD THREE, when He and his SON only ever taught GOD is ONE? After countless hours of seeking, praying, researching, asking and debating, I have come to the conclusion that there is NO Catholic TRINITY MYSTERY, but a simple Biblical fact that GOD is GOD alone Isaiah 46:9, and Jesus is the literal SON of His ONE TRUE GOD, John 10:36, John 17:3, which is the first and GREATEST commandment to believe GOD The Father is ONE PERSON Deuteronomy 6:4, Mark 12:29 that MOST BREAK daily. The only TRINITY MYSTERY I have discovered, is how so MANY became so deceived. 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.

Notice in the Catholic TRINITY diagram?

What we clearly see with the TRINITY faith is how they prove with their own hands how they do not follow true Christianity, which emerged from Judaism, which is a monotheistic religion where GOD always declared He is ONE person and GOD ALONE. But instead follow a FALSE man made religion that teaches the Trinitarian concept of a "tritheism" (three Gods), which is called POLYTHEISM. The concept of the TRINITY (one god as three) was worship by PAGANS from Babylon and Egypt and other PAGANS, which was CONDEMNED, prohibited and forbidden, by THE ONE TRUE GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the GOD of Israel, the ONLY Almighty GOD alone. Tritheism and Polytheism is precisely what we see in the image, and is the belief in or worship of more than one god. And notice what the Catholic TRINITY diagram prove and draw with their own hands? We do not need glasses to see there is a "tritheism" (three Gods) SIDE by SIDE, and yet TRINITARIANS aggressively, and continually DENY what they themselves prove with their own hands and say there is ONE GOD, but display what they believe and teach in the Catholic TRINITY diagram.

How many CONTRADICTIONS in the TRINITY faith?

Read about just some of the many Trinitarian contradictions which prove the Trinity is false: TRINITY CONTRADICTION NO 11. In Genesis 22:2, GOD asked Abraham to sacrifice His begotten Son: He said, “Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” GOD was foreshadowing what He Himself would do, by not sacrificing Himself, but undertaking and performing a far greater, heart-breaking act, by the fact GOD would literally sacrifice His own begotten Son Jesus, demonstrating GOD the Father’s divine love and desire to save us: In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. 1 John 4:9 So Abraham called the name of that place, “The LORD will provide”; as it is said to this day, “On the mount of the LORD it shall be provided.” Genesis 22:14 Contradicting and contrary to what the TRINITY faith teach, IF, Jesus were already the SAME ONE TRUE GOD, that would mean the SAME ONE TRUE GOD, did not sacrifice His Son, but instead, GOD sacrificed Himself. Learn the SHOCKING TRUTH about the Catholic man made pagan TRINITY here:

‘You are blaspheming,’ because I said, ‘I am the SON OF GOD’? John 10:36.

DID JESUS CLAIM TO BE GOD, AS MOST CHRISTIANS BELIEVE? The answer to this issue of salvation is revealed in the following article; here are the biblical facts from the very lips of Jesus, as we see and study John 10:30, to 36, where the Jews ‘WRONGLY’ accused Jesus of BLASPHEMY. If Jesus was claiming to be GOD, it would be BLASPHEMY because GOD ALMIGHTY Himself taught that He was GOD ALONE. Remember the former things of old; for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is none like me. And Jesus also taught Himself that His Father was THE ONLY TRUE GOD. John 17:3. The Jews understood this one biblical fact. Read on and you will discover that the Jews were right if Jesus had claimed to be GOD. But then discover that they were wrong because Jesus never actually claimed to be GOD. Therefore, they falsely accused Jesus of BLASPHEMY.

Articles below on history’s greatest scientists, Sir Isaac Newton.

The history's greatest scientists mainly believed in creation by God. English physicist and mathematician Sir Isaac Newton (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Although the laws of motion and universal gravitation became Newton's best-known discoveries, he warned against using them to view the Universe as a mere machine, as if akin to a great clock. He said, "Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done.
