In the Public Library, there is proof that the Trinitarian Doctrine is a manmade doctrine



The Trinity or Trinitarian Doctrine is not Biblical.  The Trinity is "an assumption" that God is three persons, God never said it.  

“The term “trinity” or trinitas, (Trinity) was originated by Tertullian, an “Old Catholic Age Church” father.  This trinitarian concept started it's development at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D. (Note: Some references refer to the Nicaean Council of..… or the Nicene Council of…… Council of Nicaea..…).

The Trinity is the concept of three Gods in one based on historical data. This Trinitarian dogma evolved over the centuries and today we have an established concept of the Trinitarian doctrine which has restated the original meaning from three Gods in one to three persons in one God.

Trinity, Holy In Christian doctrine, the unity of the Father, Son and *Holy Spirit as one God in three Persons. The word Trinity doesn’t appear in the Bible. It is a doctrine formulated in the early church to interpret the way God revealed himself, first to Israel; then in *Jesus as Savior; and finally as Holy Spirit, preserver of the church. The doctrine of the Trinity developed in the early centuries of the church and was explicitly stated at the Council of *Nicaea in AD 325.

“Development of Trinitarian Doctrine. Exegetes and theologians today are in agreement that the Hebrew Bible does not contain a doctrine of the Trinity, even though it was customary in past dogmatic tracts on the Trinity to cite texts like Genesis 1:26, “Let us make humanity in our image, after our likeness” (see Also Gn. 3:22, 11:7; Is. 6:2-3) as proof of plurality in God. Although the Hebrew Bible depicts God as the father of Israel and employs personifications of God such as Word (davar), Spirit (ruah), Wisdom (hokhmah), and Presence (shekhinah), it would go beyond the intention and spirit of the Old Testament to correlate these notions with later trinitarian doctrine.

Further, exegetes and theologians agree that the New Testament also does not contain an explicit doctrine of the Trinity.”

Although Scripture does not give us a formulated doctrine of the Trinity, it contains all the elements out of which theology has constructed the doctrine. The teaching of Christ bears testimony to the true personality of each of the distinctions within the Godhead, and also sheds light upon the relations existing between the three Persons. It was left to theology to formulate from this a doctrine of the Trinity. The necessity to formulate the doctrine was thrust upon the church by forces from without, and it was, in particular, its faith in the deity of Christ and the necessity to defend it, that first compelled the church to fact the duty of formulating a full doctrine of the Trinity for its rule of faith. Irenaeus and Origen share with Tertullian the responsibility for the formulation which is still, in the main, that of the church catholic. Under the leadership of Athanasius the doctrine was proclaimed as the faith of the church at the Council of Nicea (AD325), and at the hands of Augustine, a century later, it received a formulation enshrined in the so-called Athanasian Creed that is accepted by Trinitarian churches to this day.

The word “Trinity” trinitas, was coined by Tertullian. Tertullian put forth the proposition that God is the co-existence of three Gods in one – The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Trinity is not biblical but it’s man’s way to try to understand the New Testament and the realization that God has manifested himself in three forms for salvation. In the process of trying to understand God and his manifestations- the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, as it relates to baptism, the baptismal formula in Matthew 28:19, was changed from the original baptism “in name of the Lord Jesus” to the titles of God – The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Comments: Starting from the Trinitarian concept, the Christian church starts to fall into apostasy (Galatians 1:1-12). The Trinity is foreign to the original Christian faith as preached by the apostles. Modern Christians to this day are still in a state of Apostasy because they believe in “three gods/persons in one.” (This concept is totally unscriptural). When one studies the scripture and all the secular writings on the Trinitarian baptismal formulas, we can see that there is not an understanding of the oneness of God.

I believe, when we say, God is three persons or three gods in one, or any such thing, it's extremely offensive to God. God has always acknowledged that He is one and we are, in fact, calling God a liar. God has said on more than one occasion that He is one and there is no God before him, neither will there be a God after him. That being the case, who is Jesus Christ? Is Jesus another God or the same God? Three gods or three persons in one God, is an impossibility in the eyes of God, based on the Holy scriptures.

Note: The mind of man has said, there are three persons in one God and God has said, there's only one Lord (Deuteronomy 6:4, Luke 2:11) and one person (Hebrews 1:3). Who is right? Is God one person like He says or three persons as one would suggest?

The conclusion of the whole matter is the concept that I have endeavored to explain throughout my book. The Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine of men and that doctrine changed the original baptism “in the name of the Lord Jesus to the titles of God (Acts 2:38, Matthew 28:19, Colossians 2:8-10).
