Is there a perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Galatians 1:6-10

Paul was concerned about a perversion of the gospel of Jesus Christ by some Jewish Christians who wanted to incorporate some other teachings that would pervert the teachings of Paul and the apostles. Paul was adamant that if any one comes to the saints with another gospel that they should be accursed. How does that relate to the doctrine of the Trinity?

Even though this scripture is not talking specially about the Trinity, the scripture says if any other gospel is preached to the saints, let him be accursed. Let’s look at the true gospel message in Acts 2:38. The doctrine of the Trinity would have been foreign to the apostle Paul because the Trinitarian doctrine doesn’t teach the baptism in Jesus name. The Trinitarian doctrine teaches the baptism in God’s titles (Matthew 28:19). And some Trinitarians teach that you don’t need the reception of the Holy Spirit. The Trinitarian doctrine was never delivered to the saints. The foundation of the Trinity was suggested at the Nicaean Council in 325 A.D., by the “Old Catholic Age Church Fathers.”

This doctrine was initiated by a Catholic Father by the name of Tertullian but it developed over the next four centuries. Trinitarianism is a perversion of the gospel, and according to Paul, if we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel, let him be accursed. We can see how strongly the apostle Paul felt about the perversion of the gospel because he said it again in verse 9. I feel Paul realized that there are some who would think that they can understand the mystery.

Galatians 1:11-12

There are some who might think that they can understand the mystery of God with human intellect. Let me assure you that the mystery and the revelation of the name of Jesus Christ will only come by the Spirit of Christ. Flesh and blood will not reveal this to you, neither will you understand the revelation and mystery of Christ from books. No library is big enough for you to find the knowledge, wisdom and revelation of Christ. Paul learned that Jesus was God by revelation. Think it not strange that you will understand the mystery of the revelation of Jesus Christ by the Spirit of God. When they knew God, they did not glorify him as God (Romans 1:19-22).
