About the Trinity and the hidden truth?

Where Did The Trinity Come From ?

The three monotheistic religions - Judaism, Christianity, and Islam - all

purport to share one fundamental concept: belief in God as the Supreme

Being, the Creator and Sustainer of the Universe. Known as "tawhid" in

Islam, this concept of the Oneness of God was stressed by Moses in a

Biblical passage known as the "Shema," or the Jewish creed of faith:

"Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." (Deuteronomy 6:4)

It was repeated word-for-word approximately 1500 years later by Jesus

when he said: "...The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; the

Lord our God is one Lord." (Mark 12:29)

«"Muhammad came along approximately 600 years later, bringing the same message again: "And your God is One God: There is no God but He, ..."» (The Qur'an 2:163)

Christianity has digressed from the concept of the Oneness of God,

however, into a vague and mysterious doctrine that was formulated during the fourth century

    The trinity is a false doctrine, pure and simple. Christians are polytheists, although they are completely unaware of it and will staunchly deny it.

    God is ONE. He has no sons and needs no sons. He forgives with or without sacrifice, for His forgiveness is not contingent upon sacrifice. No part of God is contingent, because contingency is a characteristic of the created, not of the Creator. He can and does forgive as He wishes. No need for any blood sacrifice, His hands are never tied like that. His hands are never tied at all!

    The Trinity came about at the Council of Nicaes in 325. Constantine formed this council in an effort to unite the churches who were all following different written texts and fundamentals. During this council, they decided which books would be discarded and include in the Bible so all the churches would be reading from one text. One big problem these early Christian leaders faced was the status of Jesus. To declare him divine would be in direct violation of the First Commandment, "Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me". So after much controversy, debate, and manipulation of the scriptures, they created the Trinity declaring Jesus, God, and the Holy Spirit as one. The word Trinity can not be found in the Bible although many Christian's believe in it.

    God is ONE: One being, three persons. . We can not FULLY understand the Trinity, but the scripures are pretty plain that God IS Trinity:

    Jesus tells his apostles to baptize "in the name [notice, singular, not plural] of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Matt. 28:19). This is a proof-text: three distinct Persons united in the one divine name. In 2 Corinthians 13:14, Paul writes, "The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all." We see this same unity of divine Persons in 1 Corinthians 12:4–11, Ephesians 4:4–6, and 1 Peter 1:2–3.

    The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God (cf. John 8:58, 10:38, 14:10; Col. 2:9). It also clearly teaches that the Holy Spirit is God (cf. Acts 5:3–4, 28:25–28; 1 Cor. 2:10–13). Everyone agrees the Father is God. Yet there is only one God (Mark 12:29, 1 Cor. 8:4–6, Jas. 2:19). How can we hold all four truths except to say all three are One God?

    And yes, Jesus DID say he was God. In John 8:58, when quizzed about how he has special knowledge of Abraham, Jesus replies, "Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I Am"—invoking and applying to himself the personal name of God—"I Am" (Ex. 3:14). His audience understood exactly what he was claiming about himself. "So they took up stones to throw at him; but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple" (John 8:59).

    Also significant are passages that apply the title "the First and the Last" to Jesus. This is one of the Old Testament titles of Yahweh: "Thus says Yahweh, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, Yahweh of armies: ‘I am the First and I am the Last; besides me there is no god’" (Is. 44:6; cf. 41:4, 48:12).

    Your premise is incorrect. The Old Testament scriptures do speak of a plurality of Gods. It is just that we worship Heavenly Father.

    Psalms 82:6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

    Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD

    The Bible does not specifically say or give the word Trinity, but the concept is there. I've heard it explained two ways: 1) One God with three distinct personalities or 2) In science, you have solid, liquid and gas. They are all water, just in different forms. God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are all one, but just operate differently, just like solids, liquids and gases. In the end, it is just something you have to take by faith.

    You missed the point, they all base their "religions" on a false God. The God of Moses is Satan.

    Read Rev 13:10-18 and know the truth, now read what Jesus said from His own mouth concerning Moses.

    if you really wanted to clarify your question, YA is not the best place - where you can copy and paste texts like these ones!!

    Firstly, Trinity is not polytheistic - put basics right.

    THeres only one GOD - and He is in 3 personalities Father, Son, and HolySpirit

    Jesus said, "I and My Father are ONE"

    Just like your the father, at the same time you are the son and you are the brother too.
