Will You DARE To TEST YOUR FAITH? Part 1, we covered the first ten reasons for why the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! I also gave a link to the short version of this study which is a “bullet-type” list of reasons called E-24 Are You SURE You Have the TRUE Gospel? for Christians to PONDER so that they will be moved to DARE to TEST their FAITH in the light of the whole word of Almighty God! Now let us continue with reason number eleven in part 2 of this study. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #11. The Bible ITSELF does NOT IMPLY, hint at, or suggest that God is a so-called Trinity Godhead as Trinitarian Christians CLAIM. In other words, the belief of a Trinity Godhead must be read INTO the Scriptures in order to even try to teach that God is three separate persons in one God. So then, in reason number eleven, I want all Christians to know and understand that there is a huge difference between the simple FACTS in the Bible and “INTERPRETATIONS” read into the Scriptures that contradict the simple FACTS clearly stated in the Bible ITSELF. Now, 1 Timothy 3:16 is one of the most widely used passages of Scripture to try to prove the Almighty God MANIFESTED Himself to BECOME flesh. Both the Oneness United Pentecostal Christians and the Trinitarian Christian use the King James Version ONLY when arguing this verse of Scripture. The oneness Modalist Christians argue that Yahweh the Father Himself became flesh. And thus, to them, Jesus is one and the self-same being as the Father. And Trinitarian Christians argue that it was a pre-existing God the Son who became flesh. Also, both Modalist Christians and Trinitarian Christians argue that ONLY the KJV is the correct translation because the KJV has the word “God” in the English translation of 1 Timothy 3:16, while other translations do NOT have the word “God” in that verse of Scripture. So then, WHY the differences between the Bible translations? Why do some translations read “God was manifest in the flesh”, while other translations read “He who was manifest in the flesh”? The reason that the newer Bible translations do NOT use the word “God” in 1 Timothy 3:16 is because there is no Greek for the word “God” in the original Greek text. But rather, the word “God” was “translated” from what Bible scholars call a textual “variant”. What this means is that the original Greek text was altered or tampered with either by mistake or it was deliberately altered or changed by adding a line to virtually change one Greek word into another Greek word. In other words, all of the much older manuscripts do NOT have the Greek word “theos” that is translated as God. But rather, the older manuscripts have a different Greek word that simply means “he who” or “that which” was manifested in the flesh. And the SUBJECT of 1 Timothy 3:16 is GODLINESS or righteousness, which was indeed clearly SHOWN or “manifested” in character and actions of the flesh of God’s Messiah, Jesus. Now, most Trinitarian Christians have not only heard of the well known Trinitarian Bible scholar Dr. James White, but they also respect and trust his scholarship knowledge of the Greek language. So I want all of my readers and seekers of the truth who are King James ONLY believers to watch this short 8 minute video on the TRUE origin of the KJV. Dr. James White: Which Bible translation is the most reliable? Episode 1326 Now that you know the truth about the corruption in the KJV and how it is NOT always translated correctly in every single verse, I want you to watch another short video where Dr. James White explains how the word “God” could have been added to the KJV by “accident”. But when you watch BOTH videos, then you can see that Dr. James White contradicts himself and that it was no accident that the KJV was translated from the Latin Vulgate Roman Catholic translation. Here is the link to the second video of Dr. James White explaining 1 Timothy 3:16 as being an “honest” mistake that could have happened to anyone.
Is 1 Timothy 3:16 “God manifest in the Flesh” another biblical CORRUPTION? Dr. Shabir answers
Again, Muslims wrongly use the truth of a Godhead Trinity being false teaching to deceive Christians to convert to Islam, which I strongly believe is the mark of the beast. Please read the study J-28. COULD ISLAM be the MARK of the BEAST? So again, the man-made doctrine of the Trinity Godhead is a STUMBLING BLOCK that causes some Christians to even lose their salvation by converting to Islam to deny that Jesus is the Son of God. Now I want you to read 1 Timothy 3:16 from two newer translations of the Bible. And then, I want you to watch one more short video so you can hear the OTHER side of the controversy so that you can weigh ALL of the evidence to correctly interpret 1 Timothy 3:16 in the LIGHT of the WHOLE word of Almighty God.
Here is 1 Timothy 3:16 from the American Standard Version.
“And without controversy great is the mystery of GODLINESS; (Or, according to Romans 5:17, great is the mystery of God’s GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS through the one MAN, Jesus Christ) He who was manifested in the flesh, Justified in the spirit, Seen of angels, Preached among the nations, Believed on in the world, Received up in glory.”
And here is an authorized Roman Catholic translation of 1 Timothy 3:16 from the Douay Rheims Bible.
“And evidently great is the mystery of GODLINESS, (Or, according to Romans 5:17, great is the mystery of God’s GIFT of RIGHTEOUSNESS through the one MAN, Jesus Christ) WHICH was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, has been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.”
Here is a short 8 minute video explaining that the SUBJECT of 1 Timothy 3:16 is GODLINESS or righteousness and NOT that God is a MYSTERY. I Timothy 3:16 - “Great is the mystery of godliness”? - Joel Hemphill & J. Dan Gill You can also read the study that I wrote called U-3. 1 Timothy 3:16 God MANIFEST in the Flesh! But for now, let us consider HOW this textual variance happened. For you see, when we truly consider ALL of the evidence there are three possibilities as to what actually happened. Possibility #1. The original Greek text used the Greek word “Ho”, which means WHICH. Possibility #2. The original Greek text used the Greek word “Hos”, which means, “he” “WHO” or “he who”. Possibility #3. The original Greek text used the Greek word “Theos”, which means God, a god, gods, and even idol gods. Now, the first two possibilities can be seen in the much earlier manuscripts which the Apostle Paul would have used. For you see, the Text Receptus did not even exist until hundreds of years later. In other words, if the Greek word “theos” was in fact used in 1 Timothy 3:16 back in the day of the Apostle Paul, then it would have also been used by every early Trinitarian writer as the number one go to verse to quote. And yet, not one early church writer quotes 1 Timothy 3:16 to argue that a God the Son manifested himself in the flesh. So then, to me, possibilities #1 and #2 are the only LOGICAL choices for Christians who think things through for themselves seeking only the TRUTH no matter where God’s TRUTH will lead them. Now, since this one verse of Scripture is still DEFENDED by “hard-core” Trinitarian Christians even though their own Trinitarian Bible scholars openly admit that the Textus Receptus Greek manuscript simply means RECEIVED text and NOT the original text, I want you to look at what the “EXPERTS” in the Greek language have to say. Here is what is believed by even Trinitarian Bible scholars as to HOW this KJV corruption happened. I will simply quote what I have researched from another website. “Scribal copyists routinely used a contracted form of the Greek word for “God” called a “nomina sacra” that was used at a very early date in Christian history for sacred names. The Greek word for “God” is theos written in the Greek alphabet as qeoV, or QEOS. The copyist abbreviations correspondingly took the form qV, or QS, with a faint overscore line stroke over the abbreviation (see Figure 1). These strokes would often become quite faint in the copies. Now the Greek word for “who” is the Greek word “hos” which is written in Greek as oV, or OS. Now notice the similarity between these two words QS, and OS, and also remember they were written by hand and would not be written so perfectly and distinctly as the typed letters on this page. With the exception of one pen stroke, the Omicron (O) and Theta (Q) are nearly identical. It would be very easy to make a mistake here when copying from one manuscript to another and if that is what happened then it would be excusable. But it would also be very easy for an overzealous scribe to suppose he was doing God a favor and execute a forgery here by changing the manuscript and the handwritten O (Omicron) into a Q (Theta) with a stroke of his pen and thereby completely change the meaning of the verse. It would be also easy to change the word ho to theos by adding a stroke and an “s.” And it would be far more difficult to do it the other way around without getting caught (removing the stroke). There is also evidence that ink may have bled through the other side of the media and made it appear to a copyist to read QS because the bleeding ink added what appeared to be a line where OS had been written. Whether or not it was an honest copying mistake or a forgery, it is very likely that the error was produced in this manner.”
So then, the overwhelming evidence supports the view of the KJV being in ERROR by changing the “Noma Sacria” to the Greek word “theos” so that 1 Timothy 3:16 could be “translated” as “God” was manifested in the flesh as opposed to “he who” speaking of our GODLINESS or our RIGHTEOUSNESS, according to Romans 5:17, was manifested in the flesh. But even if there was no error or forgery, the Greek word “theos” still would not prove that the Almighty God Himself became flesh. For you see, the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in simplicity that Jesus is “A” god whom his God MADE both Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection. So another possible meaning of 1 Timothy 3:16 is that “A” god was manifested in the flesh as an IMAGE of the God who will REPRESENT and rule FOR Yahweh in the NAME of Yahweh in the world to come. Please read the study U-3. 1 Timothy 3:16 God MANIFEST in the Flesh! The word of God does not contradict itself and Almighty God is not the author of confusion. I have heard from some non-believers that say that one of the reasons WHY they would NOT believe in God, is BECAUSE they just could not accept this three is one, and one in three CONFUSING Trinity “DOCTRINE” that Christians talk about. And also I have come to learn that there are some Christians, who are leaving their Christian faith for this very same reason. Some Christians are becoming atheists because they think they have been lied to by those that they trusted to teach them the truth. And some Christians are being deceived by Muslims using the same 37 FACTS written in the Bible itself to convert them to Islam. In other words, these groups, both atheists and Muslims, are pointing out the very same things that the Holy Spirit has shown me and which I have just shown you in the studies I have written. And thus, the man-made Trinity Godhead doctrine is a STUMBLING BLOCK that is causing some Christians to even DENY Jesus as being the Son of God by converting to Islam, to Judaism, or to lose faith in God altogether seeing that some have felt that they were LIED to by the so-called “Orthodox” Church. Please read the study called D-22. Is ORTHODOX Christianity TRUE Christianity? But for now, the so-called MYSTERY that was kept secret as BEING a Trinity Godhead is a man-made THEORY. And thus, the Trinity Godhead doctrine is a STUMBLING BLOCK to Christians and to unsaved people. For you see, that false doctrine has caused some people to not even TRY to believe in God that is so illogical to REASON in their minds how God can be three separate persons in one God and NOT be three separate Gods. It simply defies mere common sense. My own brother-in-law confided in me that he would believe in God if it were NOT for the doctrine of the Trinity three in one Trinity Godhead God. This brings us to reason number twelve.
QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #12. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach a so-called baptismal FORMULA as some Christians CLAIM! While we are on the subject of “QUESTIONABLE” verses of Scripture, let us go ahead and cover two more “famous” passages of Scripture that are used over and over again and again to try to prove that God is a Trinity Godhead made up of three separate persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Many Christians, including even some Trinitarian Bible scholars are aware that Matthew 28:19 could also be a “variance” or an addition to the original Greek text. And if it was then that would make three passages of Scripture that were deliberately tampered with to try to support the man-made doctrine of a Trinity Godhead. But in this particular study, I want to show you WHY Matthew 28:19 does not even HINT at even a possibility that God is a Trinity Godhead. Let us read Matthew 28:19 left in its CONTEXT. Please read Matthew 28:16-20. “Then the ELEVEN disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. (Notice that Jesus gave the great commission to ONLY the ELEVEN disciples also called the eleven Apostles) 17. And when they saw him, they worshiped him: but some doubted. (Which we know that Thomas DOUBTED that God resurrected Jesus) 18. And Jesus came and spoke unto them, saying, All power is GIVEN unto me in heaven and on earth. 19. Go you, THEREFORE, (Or for the very REASON that all power has been GIVEN to me from my God and Father, GO) and TEACH all nations, (That God MADE Jesus both Lord and Christ after the cross by HIGHLY EXALTING His human Son and GIVING Jesus a NEW NAME that is above every other NAME!) baptizing them in the NAME of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: (In other words, Almighty God GAVE His human Son all power that is in the NAME that God gave to Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection, according to Philippians 2:8-11. And NOW, after the cross and resurrection, Jesus has a NEW NAME that is the SAME NAME of the Father who is one and the self-same BEING of the eternal Holy Spirit. For you see, there is just ONE Spirit and the Father is a SPIRIT. But Jesus is NOT a Spirit, according to Luke 24:37-39) 20. Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: (And nowhere does Jesus ever command, teach, or even suggest that God is a Trinity Godhead and that he is God the Son, the second person of Almighty God in the flesh. So let us TEACH what Jesus taught his Apostles to teach us. In other words, Christians must NOT read INTO Matthew 28:19 the preconceived meaning that God is three separate persons in one God. And reading into the Scriptures a preconceived belief is NOT how we are to interpret the Scriptures) and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” To go deeper into the Scriptures please read the study U-18. Matthew 28:19 Proves God Is a TRINITY! The main point right now is that the Greek word translated as NAME in Matthew 28:19 is SINGULAR. In other words, the phrase “in the NAME” is referring to the NEW NAME that God GAVE to His human Son, Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection. The word “THEREFORE” means the very REASON. And the CONTEXT says THEREFORE go and baptize in the NAME. What name? The NAME that God GAVE to the Son of MAN, Jesus, is the NEW NAME that his God and father GAVE him after the cross and resurrection to be having or to be RECEIVING all POWER to be MADE Lord over the earth during the world to come. So then, it was BECAUSE of Jesus being GIVEN all POWER in the one NAME that is above every other name as for WHY Jesus commissioned the eleven disciples to GO in the NAME of Yahweh the Father who is the Holy Spirit to baptize in the NEW NAME of Jesus, the now HIGHLY EXALTED Son of God. For you see, the POWER is in the NEW NAME that God GAVE to His HUMAN Son, Jesus AFTER the cross and resurrection. Please read the studies Dd-19. What does the LORD'S NAME in VAIN mean? Also, the sound Bible evidence in the New Testament proves beyond any shadow of a doubt that not one single baptism done by the Apostles of Jesus in the Book of Acts used the so-called Trinity baptismal formula in Matthew 28:19 when that baptized believers. Please look up these verses to see for yourself that the Apostles of Jesus did NOT baptize anyone in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. So they either disobeyed Jesus or those words were ADDED after the Apostles of Jesus wrote the New Testament. And the historical evidence shows that the Roman Catholic Church openly admits to changing Matthew 28:19 to its present form. Here is a link to all of the references to the historical sources showing that the words, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were NOT in the original Greek text BEFORE the second century. ENCYCLOPEDIA BRITANNICA 11TH edition, (1910), Vol 2, Pg. 365 This brings us reason number 13 and to another Trinitarian passage of Scripture that is without dispute a FORGERY that was deliberately added to try and support the doctrine of the Trinity and the teaching of God as being a so-called Trinity Godhead made up of three separate persons. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #13. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity that Jesus and the Father AGREE as ONE and NOT that they are one and the self-same BEING. In reason numbers eleven and twelve we covered two passages of Scripture that are the “go to” top two verses that are used to try to prove that God is a triune Trinity Godhead to reconcile two separate persons being called “God” when the Old Testament teaches us that there is only ONE God. And we have found that both 1 Timothy 3:16 and Matthew 28:19 are “QUESTIONABLE” regarding their “authenticity” as being the original text in the Greek manuscripts. In other words, the historical evidence shows that both 1 Timothy 3:16 and Matthew 28:19 have been deliberately tampered with to alter the text so that these verses will lend support to the Trinity Godhead doctrine. So to me, that is two STRIKES against the man-made doctrine of a Trinity Godhead. And the Johannine Comma of 1 John 5:7 makes three strikes against the Trinity Godhead theory. These FACTS or obvious corruption of adding to the Scripture should be a red flag to all Christians that Satan has BLINDED the MINDS of some Christians to the TRUTH of the TRUE glorious Gospel of Jesus ANOINTED. So I implore all my readers and seekers of the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God to read the studies U-34. 1 JOHN 5:7 - These THREE ARE ONE!, and U-35. WAS 1 JOHN 5:7 ADDED TO THE BIBLE? The first study treats 1 John 5:7 as if it was not added to show that it still does NOT prove a Trinity Godhead. And the second study covers the historical proof that many Trinitarian Bible scholars openly admit proves that 1 John 5:7 was deliberately added hundreds years later to the Greek manuscripts after many English Bible translations had been in print clearly showing those words did NOT exist until the forming of the King James Version of the Bible. Now, Trinitarian Christians PRE-JUDGE every translation of the Bible that does not AGREE with their doctrine of a Trinity Godhead CLAIMING that those translations are “BIASED” against the doctrine of the Trinity. But they never stop to THINK that their own KJV translation is “BIASED” toward their own doctrine of the Trinity. They have failed to consider the FACTS that God’s word was ALTERED and CORRUPTED to make their “translation” of the KJV agree with their own doctrine of the Trinity Godhead. In my opinion, THREE STRIKES and you are OUT! How many questionable “variances” in the Greek manuscripts do you need before YOU will DARE to TEST YOUR OWN FAITH? QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #14. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in simplicity that God’s Messiah was PROPHESIED to BECOME a God under and subject to his God and Father. All through the New Testament we read about the FULFILLMENT of the PROPHECY in the Old Testament. We read phrases like, “But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled”. And thus, Jesus is the FULFILLMENT of PROPHECY that came out from God’s MOUTH, according to Isaiah 55:11. Therefore, the true sound Biblical meaning of John 1:1(c), “the word was God” is that the “word” in John 1:1 is the spoken word of PROPHECY and NOT a so-called God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God. In other words, the word was a “God” or a “God” was the word, as in, Yahweh prophesied Himself a God into being. And we know that this is the correct meaning of John 1:1 because we read in Isaiah 9:6,7 another PROPHECY about God’s Messiah foretelling that his NAME shall be CALLED a Mighty God. This teaches us that the word “God” is a TITLE or a NAME of a POSITION when the word God is used for anyone else but Almighty God the Father. And thus, there can be two who are CALLED God by TITLE, but there can only be ONE God who ALONE is the creator who MADE the Son of MAN, Jesus, to BECOME Lord and Christ AFTER the cross and resurrection. Please read Isaiah 9:5-7. “For every battle of the warrior is with confused noise, and garments rolled in blood; but this shall be with burning and fuel of fire. (This prophecy begins foretelling about a WARRIOR coming and that the war will end with burning and fuel of fire, which I believe is the lake of fire on the final Day of Judgment) 6. FOR (Or BECAUSE) unto us a CHILD is BORN, (Please notice that the PROPHECY says that the child will be BORN first and then a Son will be GIVEN. And that was what happened. For you see, it was the Son of MAN who was lifted up on the cross, according to John 3:14, John 8:28, and John 12:34) unto us a son is given: (Which again was fulfilled on the cross by the Son of MAN being given and lifted up on the cross. It was the HUMAN Son of God that was given on the cross. And the rest of the PROPHECY will be fulfilled in the world to come which is WHEN Jesus will rule as God’s King of kings and Lord of lords over the whole earth for 1000 years) and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his NAME shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. (Now notice that it is Yahweh who PERFORMS His spoken word of prophecy to bring it to pass) 7. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will PERFORM this.” Now, when a Trinitarian Christian reads or hears the phrase “Son of God” when referring to Jesus, then in their minds they see Jesus as being God the Son, the second person of a Godhead Trinity God. But when non Trinitarian Christians read or hear the phrase “Son of God” when referring to Jesus BEFORE the cross and resurrection, then we picture God’s HUMAN Son. So then, how did the very Apostles of Jesus picture Jesus in their minds when they read or heard the phrase “Son of God” when referring to Jesus? Simply read Hebrew 2:9. “But WE see Jesus, (Or WE, the very Apostles and eyewitness of Jesus understand or SEE Jesus) who was MADE a little LOWER than the angels for the suffering of death, CROWNED with glory and honor; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.” Now, in all honesty with God and with yourself, does what the very Apostles of Jesus teach us in Hebrews 2:9 that God MADE Jesus a little LOWER than the angels sound like the Trinitarian teaching that the word BECAME flesh but yet REMAINED the fully Almighty God having TWO natures at the SAME time DURING the days of his FLESH, one divine and one human? Can you not see that the Trinity Godhead is read INTO the Scriptures which PERVERTS the TRUTH to make a LIE? The core argument made by all Trinitarian Christians is that there is only ONE TRUE God. And they REASON in their minds that since Jesus is CALLED God, then that PROVES that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh. And then, they try to prove that the ONLY way Jesus can be BOTH the Son of MAN and the Son of God is that Jesus MUST have had TWO natures at the SAME time. It is that spirit of having it “their” way or no way that causes them to not even think to consider that Jesus was the Son of MAN not having any “divine” nature during the days of his FLESH. And thus, they REJECT the FACT that it was AFTER the cross God CROWNED His human Son with glory and honor just like the very Apostle of Jesus teaches us in Hebrews 2:9. Imagine that! The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in Philippians 2:8-11 that the God OF Jesus HIGHLY EXALTED the His HUMAN Son to BECOME God’s ETERNAL Son as a reward for his HUMAN Son’s OBEDIENCE to do all of the Will of his God and Father even to die on the cross. Please read the three part study called O-14. When did Jesus Become God's Son? Part 1 But for now, let us move on to reason number fifteen. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #15. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that every thing Jesus is and everything Jesus has was GIVEN to him by his God and Father the ONLY TRUE God, according to John 17:1-3. Simply read John 17:1-3. “These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You: 2. As You have GIVEN him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as You have given him. 3, And THIS is life eternal, that they might know YOU the ONLY TRUE God, AND Jesus Christ, whom You have SENT.” The Greek word that is translated as “sent” in the KJV literally means “COMMISSIONED” and NOT sent down from heaven as Trinitarian Christians CLAIM. The word “commission” means to GIVE power and authority to someone to accomplish the task that they are given to do. So the TRUE meaning of “sent” here means that God GAVE His human Son Jesus POWER to accomplish the task of OBEYING his God and Father to do all the Will of his God even to die on the cross. And faith in THIS is eternal life. Please read the three part study called: O-14. When did Jesus Become God's Son? Part 1 O-15. When did Jesus Become God's Son? Part 2 O-16. When did Jesus Become God's Son? Part 3 But for now, let us move on to reason number sixteen. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #16. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus could do NOTHING of himself, according to John 5:19-31. Please read John 5:19,30. “Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do NOTHING of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things so ever he does, these also do the Son likewise… …30. I can of my OWN SELF do NOTHING: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father which has sent me.” Also, look up these verses of Scripture on your own to know and understand that it is impossible for an Almighty God to NOT be able to do any miraculous works on his OWN. Nothing is impossible with God and yet Jesus says he can do NOTHING of himself and that it is God DWELLING in him who did the works, according to John 14:10. Please look up and read John 5:22, Acts 17:29-31, John 5:26-30, John 8:28, John 14:10, and John 20:30,31 which the Apostle John says is the PURPOSE of the Gospel of John. I implore you to read the study called P-2. WHO IS THE ONLY TRUE GOD? Let us move on to reason number seventeen. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #17. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach that Almighty God Himself died on the cross. And the Bible ITSELF does NOT teach that if you do not believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh then you will remain dead in your sins! Almost all Trinitarian Christians sincerely believe with all of their heart that they MUST believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself who died on the cross or they can NOT be saved. They quote verses like Acts 20:28, which is yet another “questionable” verse of Scripture. Let us read the KJV and the American Standard Version so you can see the DIFFERENCE between the two “translations”.
Acts 20:28 from the KJV.
“Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over which the Holy Ghost has made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood.”
Acts 20:28-30 from the American Standard Version.
“Take heed unto yourselves, and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you bishops, to feed the church of the Lord which he purchased with his own blood. 29. I know that after my departure grievous wolves shall enter in among you, not sparing the flock; 30. And from among your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.”
And how much more perverse can it be that an eternal immortal God DIE on the cross? The Roman Catholic Church MIXED the Pagan beliefs of the Pagan trinity gods to create the ANTI-CHRIST doctrine of a so-called pre-existing God the Son who supposedly manifested himself to become a human being. And further, they also CLAIM that he remain the fully Almighty God having two natures at the SAME time during the days of his FLESH, one divine and one human. And it took over four centuries for their man-made Pagan based Trinity Godhead doctrine to be FORCED upon the church to form what is called today, the Roman Catholic Church. If you are a Roman Catholic, then I implore you to read ALL of the studies under the heading >>>Ee-0. What Every CATHOLIC MUST KNOW!<<< And if you are a Trinitarian Christian, I implore you to DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH in a Trinity Godhead by doing your own HONEST research on the ORIGIN of the doctrine of the Trinity. This brings us to reason number eighteen.
QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #18. The Bible ITSELF does NOT teach us that Jesus is the great I AM THAT I AM in Exodus 3:14!
Again, almost all Trinitarian Christians sincerely believe with all of their heart that they MUST believe that Jesus is Almighty God Himself who died on the cross or they can NOT be saved. They argue that any Christian who DENIES that Jesus is Almighty God HIMSELF will remain DEAD in their sins. And then they quote John 8:24 as their prooftext to try to prove that Jesus is saying that he is Yahweh Himself. And they quote John 8:58 and “INTERPRET” it to mean that Jesus is saying that he is the great “I AM THAT I AM” in Exodus 3:14. Please keep in mind that their “INTERPRETATION” of both of these passages of Scriptures are read INTO the Scriptures. Why would the very Apostle of John say in John 20:30,31 that the PURPOSE of him writing the Gospel of John is so THAT we would believe that Jesus is the CHRIST the SON OF God if John INTENDED his words in John 8:58 and John 8:24 to mean that Jesus is saying he is Yahweh Himself?
Please read John 20:30,31.
“And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: 31. But these are written, THAT (Or so THAT or in order THAT) you might believe THAT Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his NAME.”
So then, whenever God hears the name “Jesus” He hears the NEW NAME that God GAVE to His human Son, Jesus, after the cross and resurrection. God hears the NAME Yahweh our RIGHTEOUSNESS when Christians speak the NAME “Jesus” in authority and power. Please read the following studies.

This brings us to reason number nineteen.
QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL! Reason #19. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in simplicity that Jesus will INHERIT the earth.
In reason #19, I want you to ask yourself the question that if Jesus were truly Almighty God Himself, then would he have not ALREADY owned the earth? The answer would be an obvious YES, if it were true that Jesus is Almighty God HIMSELF in the flesh as the Godhead Trinity doctrine CLAIMS. But the Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus will INHERIT the earth from his God and Father. Please read Hebrews 1:2, which clearly teaches us that Almighty God the Father has appointed his SON Jesus to be the HEIR of ALL things.
Hebrews 1:2.
“Has in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom He (Almighty God the Father) has appointed HEIR of all things, by (Or more correctly FOR) whom also He (Almighty God the Father) made the worlds;”
So then, the Bible itself teaches us that Almighty God who alone is the Father created the worlds FOR His human Son, Jesus to INHERIT. And using this same verse of Scripture in Hebrews 1:1,2, we see another reason to PONDER for why there were no so-called pre-incarnate appearances of Jesus in the Old Testament as Trinitarian Christians “interpret” some Old Testament passages of Scripture to mean. But their “interpretation” of a pre-incarnate Jesus CONTRADICTS Hebrews 1:1,2 which clearly states as a FACT that God did NOT speak to us through His Son UNTIL the last days. And thus, God never spoke to us by way of a so-called pre-incarnate Son in the Old Testament. This brings us to reason number twenty.
Reason #20. The Bible ITSELF teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus is our BROTHER.
In other words, we will be just like Jesus when we are made partakers with Jesus in the divine NATURE of immortality, according to 2 Peter 1:3,4. Please read all of the studies under the following three headings.
>>>N-0. Who is JESUS ACCORDING to the Bible?<<< >>>P-0. Is JESUS the CREATOR?<<<
And perhaps one of the strongest reasons of all is Another reason to PONDER is reason number twenty one. QUESTION: Will You DARE to TEST YOUR FAITH to learn from the Bible ITSELF WHY the Trinity Godhead doctrine is HERETICAL!
Reason #21. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Jesus will rule as God over the earth and then STEP DOWN from ruling as God after his Millennial reign!
So then, the mere FACT that God prophesied in the Scriptures that Jesus would rule as God, FOR God, in the NAME OF God for ONLY 1000 years in the world to come and then Jesus will step down from ruling as God. And then, Jesus will commit the kingdom BACK into the hands of his God and Father to be subject unto God once again. So to me, this proves that Jesus is not THE one TRUE and ONLY Almighty God who ALONE is the Father. And thus, the TRUE Jesus is God's REPRESENTATIVE ruling ONLY during the 1000 year reign for the purpose of JUDGING Satan and the fallen angels. God made Jesus as the IMAGE of the invisible God to become the BEGINNING of God’s NEW CREATION of righteous people. And that is why Jesus is called the firstborn from the dead among many BRETHREN. Please read the studies called O-13. What does Firstborn of every Creature mean?, and U-31. Colossians 1:15-17-Is Jesus the Creator?
But for now, please read 1 Corinthians 15:21-28.
“For since by MAN came death, BY MAN came ALSO the resurrection of the dead. 22. For as in Adam all die, EVEN SO in Christ shall all be made alive. 23. But every MAN in his own order: Christ the first fruits; (Did you know that Jesus if the FIRST OF the first fruits unto God to be harvested? That is what this verse is literally saying. Jesus is our BROTHER, the firstborn from the dead ones, in order to become the firstborn among many BRETHREN) AFTERWARD they that are Christ's at his coming. (In other words, AFTER Jesus we become the second harvest of first fruits unto God at the second coming of Jesus) 24. Then comes the END, (Or then, comes the THIRD and FINAL HARVEST of first fruits unto God at the END of the Millennial reign of Jesus) when he (Jesus) shall have delivered up the kingdom to God (Almighty God), EVEN the FATHER; when HE (Almighty God, through his Son Jesus) shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 25. For he (Jesus, the SON OF Almighty God) must reign, till HE (Almighty God) has put all enemies under his feet. 26. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 27. For HE (Almighty God) has put all things under his feet. But when HE (THE ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God who ALONE is the FATHER) says all things are put under him (Jesus his SON), it is manifest (Or it is CLEARLY and PLAINLY made KNOWN and understood) that HE (Almighty God the FATHER) is EXCEPTED (Or it is perfectly clear that Almighty God himself the ONE GODHEAD is EXCLUDED from being UNDER the authority and rule of his Son Jesus), which did put all things under him. 28. And WHEN all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the SON ALSO HIMSELF be SUBJECT unto HIM (Speaking of the ONE TRUE and ONLY ALMIGHTY God the FATHER) that put all things under him, that God (Speaking of Almighty God the FATHER) may be ALL in ALL.”
To learn the TRUTH that Jesus was MADE Lord and God after the cross for the PURPOSE to JUDGE Satan and the fallen angels, please read the study called D-12. Was Jesus BEGOTTEN in ETERNITY PAST? In that study you will learn that God PROPHESIED that His Messiah would rule during the FIRST DOMINION and then God would rule from henceforth after the Millennial reign of Jesus over the earth. Again, there are no less than 37 other reasons for WHY the doctrine of the Trinity CONTRADICTS the Scriptures which I already cover in the study called N-11. 37 Facts to Ponder about Jesus being GOD! So I will end this study in God’s word with reason number 21 to show that the Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us in SIMPLICITY that Yahweh GAVE His human Son the TITLE of God to rule FOR Yahweh, in the NAME OF Yahweh for ONLY 1000 years for the purpose of JUDGING Satan and the fallen angels. Simply ask yourself the following simple questions.
#1. How can the TRUE and only Almighty God have another God over him IF it is true that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh as some Christians CLAIM?
#2. How can an Almighty God not be able to do anything of Himself IF it is true that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh as some Christians CLAIM? Please read John 5:19-31 and John 14:10 which clearly teaches us that Jesus could do NOTHING of himself and that it was Almighty God the Father who DWELT in His human Son Jesus as how the mighty works were done.
#3. How does it make any sense whatsoever to you for Jesus to rule ONLY over the EARTH and for ONLY 1000 years and then step down from ruling as God over the earth only IF it is true that Jesus is Almighty God Himself in the flesh as some Christians CLAIM?
So to me, reason number twenty one is the FULFILLMENT of the PROPHECY in John 1:1. The spoken word of PROPHECY was made flesh FIRST just like it was prophesied in Isaiah 9:6,7. And then, AFTER the cross and resurrection, the human Son of MAN, Jesus was highly exalted by his God and Father who MADE Jesus Lord of the Sabbath. This is speaking of the TRUE Seventh 1000 year long day of Yahweh’s Sabbath rest during the world to come and NOT the WEEKLY Sabbath DAY. So another way to re-word reason number twenty one is that Jesus was MADE to be another God by TITLE under and subject to his God who CREATED him.
Reason #21. The Bible ITSELF clearly teaches us about TWO Gods where the ONE TRUE God in ONE person created Himself a MAN to BECOME a god under and subject to Him so that Almighty God the Father could JUDGE the world by the MAN who he ordained and raised from the dead, according to Acts 17:29-31.
And thus, John 1:1 (c) is a PROPHECY of the SPOKEN word of God being a god, as opposed to the Word being a PERSON of the God, called God the Son, the second person of a so-called Trinity Godhead. Please read ALL of the studies I have written on John 1:1 because each study focuses on a different point.
V-22. John 1:1 THE WORD WAS GOD! V-23. Does JOHN 1:1c Mean Jesus “A” God? V-24. Is the “Word” in John 1:1 a DIVINE Being? V-25. What Does John 1:1 TRULY MEAN? V-26. What Does John 1:1-3 TRULY MEAN? V-27. What Does John 1:1-5,14,18 TRULY MEAN? V-28. What Does John 1:14 TRULY MEAN? V-29. Does John 1:15 Prove Jesus Pre-existed? V-30. John 1:18 THE ONLY BEGOTTEN GOD!
Also, I implore you to read the following studies because the Bible ITSELF teaches us that there are TWO Gods who are NOT one and the self-same BEING.

And, here is a link to another Biblical Unitarian website that is working hard to RESTORE the TRUTH of the TRUE Jesus to what the Apostles of Jesus teach us under the New Covenant written in the New Testament. And in that other Biblical Unitarian article you will find 100 reasons and Scriptures, some of which I have already covered in this study. But they have made some observations that I had not yet seen that are quite helpful to see that the doctrine of Jesus being Almighty God Himself in the flesh is an ANTI-Christ doctrine or anti ANOINTING came to dwell in the flesh of Jesus. And all ANTI-ANOINTING doctrines must be rejected. And BOTH the Pentecostal oneness doctrine and the Trinity Godhead doctrine are ANTI-Christ doctrines. Plus, the different style of writing may appeal to some of you more than my style of writing. Thanks for reading, and may God bless you richly as you continue to seek the TRUTH of the WHOLE word of Almighty God. And to me, the truth concerning who Jesus TRULY is, according to the Bible ITSELF, is the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus. So, for ALL of the studies on the Biblical Unitarian view of Jesus, please click on the subject heading >>>D-0. THE BIBLICAL UNITARIAN VIEW of JESUS!<<< And for the SUBJECT on the true foundation of the church, please click on the subject heading >>>C-0. THE TRUE FOUNDATION OF THE CHURCH!<<< This way you can just send ONE link to those who you want to share the TRUE sound Biblical FOUNDATIONAL teachings of the church that Jesus and his Apostles taught in the first century church.

My heartfelt prayer is that all Christians RETURN to the TRUE FOUNDATION of the church that is taught by the very Apostles of Jesus in the first century. So let us all come into the UNITY of the faith and return to what Jesus and his Apostles taught us in SIMPLICITY in the New Testament.
