Can the Trinity be explained?

Romans 15:4-6

First let me say that there are some scriptures that seem to contradict the oneness of God. This is one. Some verbiage is used to clarify other parts of God’s Word. For example, the Spirit is the Father of the Son. Once we have a thorough knowledge of who God is, then we can better understand the New Testament as it relates to one God.

Let me give you another example of the dual nature of God. This scripture tells us that we should have the same mind and glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. The explanation of this scripture is that we should glorify the Spirit which begot the Son. The Spirit is the Father of the Son, the manifested flesh of God. Once we understand the relationship of the Spirit of God and his nature as a man, we will get a different understanding of the operations of God.

Now let’s look at it again. “We should glorify God, even the Father (Spirit) of our Lord Jesus Christ (flesh).” This is a short scripture with a powerful message. It shows the relationship between the dual nature of a Holy God. God is fully God and fully man, at the same time, in one Person (John 1:1,3, 10,14, John 10:30-33, Colossians 1:19, 2:9, II Corinthians 5:19, I Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:3,8).

I’m always concerned when someone doesn’t believe the Word of God because God tells us through his Word that we should mark them because they don't understand the mystery and oneness of the one Lord God Almighty - Jesus Christ (Revelation 1:8).

Romans 16:17-27

Mark them which cause divisions and offenses. This is another powerful scripture by Paul in the congregation of many of his brethren in Christ. Paul had a serious concern that the gospel would be perverted by unbelievers who would try to change the doctrine of Christ. Paul was so concerned about this perversion that he told his brethren to avoid them. Again Paul admonishes us to speak the same thing (I Corinthians 1:9-16). What does that have to do with the gospel today?

The gospel of Jesus Christ as taught by Paul and the apostles has been perverted by a doctrine called, “The doctrine of the Trinity.” This doctrine preaches that there are three persons or three personalities in One God (Galatians 1:8-9).

The Trinitarian doctrine teaches that you should confess with your mouth and believe in your heart and you will be saved, and that you should be baptized in the titles of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost and not in the name of Jesus Christ. This is a perversion of the gospel of Christ (Matthew 15:7-9).

The Trinitarian doctrine can’t be explained nor understood because it is based on the philosophy of men and not on the doctrine of Christ (Mark 7:6-9, Galatians 1:6-12, Colossians 2:8-10). How could educated men try to teach a doctrine that is not in the Bible and doesn't have a solid foundation?

The Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine that is not based on the doctrine of Christ, rather, it is a doctrine based on a three person God. That type doctrine, which Paul didn't preach, is "paganism" which has nothing to do with the oneness of God (Galatians 1:8-9).

I have never seen nor heard of a preacher, teacher, scholar, prophet, evangelist, theologian, etc., who could fully explain “The Trinity” using the scriptures. The true doctrine of Jesus Christ is mentioned in the scriptures and they are used interchangeably. They are the apostles doctrine, (Acts 2:42) doctrine of baptisms, (Hebrews 6:2) the doctrine of Christ (Hebrews 6:1) and the doctrine of God (Titus 2:10).

Look all through the Bible from Genesis to Revelation and you will find that the Trinitarian doctrine is a doctrine and philosophy of men put together at the Nicean Council of Catholic Bishops 325AD, long after Paul and the apostles preached the true gospel of Jesus Christ (Mark 7:6-13, Colossians 2:8-10)Reference: Church history at the Public Library.

Paul never heard of a Trinitarian doctrine and it’s not in the Bible. The Trinitarian doctrine is not a sound doctrine. It can’t be understood, it’s unexplainable, and it is unscriptural (Galatians 1:8-12). Those preachers, teachers, and theologians aren't rightly dividing the Word of God in the New Testament.

All of the scriptures that are used to try to explain the Trinity are "assumptions" that God is three persons. In addition, their understandings are "a figment of man's imagination". God never said he is three persons. God is God alone. He is and always has been one God and one Person (Isaiah 43:10-12, Hebrews 1:3,8, Titus 2:13, Jude 1:25, Revelation 1:8).
