What other falsehoods are spawned by the Doctrine of the Trinity, not found in the Bible ?
The dogma that Constantine championed was intended to put an end to dissensions within the fourth-century Church. However, it actually raised another issue: Was Mary, the woman who bore Jesus, “the Mother of God” OR THE MOTHER OF JESUS ?
Compare these Bible verses: Matthew 26:39; John 14:28; 1 Corinthians 15:27, 28; Colossians 1:15, 16
FOR THOSE THAT SUPPORT THE TRINITY DOCTRINE AND DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS :
Trinity
Definition: The central doctrine of religions of Christendom. According to the Athanasian Creed, there are three divine Persons (the Father, the Son, the Holy Ghost), each said to be eternal, each said to be almighty, none greater or less than another, each said to be God, and yet together being but one God.

It is certain that, in spite of the popularity of such concepts in the false religions surrounding them, the faithful Jewish people and prophets of the old testament never accepted a three-in-one god. It is true that the unfaithful among the Israelites often borrowed pagan gods, pagan customs, and pagan concepts (including Baal and Astare)
and added them to their God-given religion. But there is no record (scriptural or secular) of a trinity concept even among them.
Historians who study ancient religions know, these doctrines and myths like trinity are derivations of the original ancient Babylonian and Egyptian versions of various divinities with different names applied to them.
Babylonians worshipped a moon-god, a sun-god, and a goddess of fertility and war. And there were many other trinity of gods--this is and was disgusting to Jehovah. AND
Jesus is not God, he is the son of God.
“ Jehovah is a powerful warrior. Jehovah is his name.” Exodus 15:3
"I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else." (Isaiah 42:8)
Deuteronomy 6:4 reads: “Listen, O Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah”—not three in one.
Matthew 24:36 "But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."
Matthew 28:19 “Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit.” 1+1+1= 3
John 14:28 and 31 "You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am... 31 But for the world to know that I love the Father, I am doing just as the Father has commanded me to do."
John 17:3 KJV 3 “ And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
John 17:11 NKJV “Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, in that they may be one as We are.”
1 Timothy 2:5 There is ONE GOD and ONE MEDIATOR between God and Men; The MAN Christ Jesus.…” Holy spirit is Jehovah’s active force that He uses to accomplish his will.
The reason the Bible does not clearly teach the Trinity doctrine is simple: It is not a Bible teaching. Had God been a Trinity, he would surely have made it clear so that Jesus and his disciples could have taught it to others. And that vital information would have been included in God’s inspired Word. It would not have been left to imperfect men to struggle with centuries later. (Watchtower 11/1/91 p.23)
Acts 7:55, 56 reports that Stephen was given a vision of heaven in which he saw “Jesus standing at God’s right hand.” But he made no mention of seeing the holy spirit. (See also Revelation 7:10; 22:1, 3.)
The New Catholic Encyclopedia admits: “The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God.” (1967, Vol. XIII, p. 575)
Therefore, as you can see from the Bible, Jesus always put Jehovah God in first place. He always obeyed him and remained faithful until death. Perhaps this will help you:

The churches also teach hellfire! Let's let this authority define hell:
Hell: SHEOL AND HADES --What do they really mean? Let’s ask an authority--Webster's Dictionary says that the English word "hell" is equal to the Hebrew word Sheol and the Greek word Hades. Hell is the common grave of mankind--according to Jesus Christ. John 11:11 Jesus said Lazarus was “sleeping” and he was going there to awaken him--and upwards of 500 people saw him.
This is what is in store for those of mankind --a restored paradise as it was in the beginning:
"In the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth..."
He created a perfect human couple, and Satan deceived them into believing they could be "like" Jehovah God. They sinned and God had warned them that if they did, "...they would surely die..." So all mankind had sin and death passed on to them.
But Jehovah's purpose could not be thwarted--and He purposed " a new heaven and a NEW EARTH in which righteousness is to dwell."
"David [whom the Bible refers to as being `a man agreeable to Jehovah's heart'] did not ascend to the heavens." No, but will be resurrected back to a paradise earth.
Scriptures that state a new earth will be created and all God’s followers will live there
Psalm 37:11
But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.
Psalm 115:16. "As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah, But the earth he has given to the sons of men."
Matthew 5:5
Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
Isaiah 65:17
or, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.

The idea of trinity was introduced by a Greek philopsher in an attempt to reconcile his inabilty to understand scripture. I used to be a trinitarian. Franklhy, that's what I saw when I looked into the Bible. I was self-taught.
In 2006, I had a vision during prayer about Jesus's identity..This was after much prayer and reading and fasting. Jesus showed me clearly that He is the Father, He is the son and He is the Holy ghost. It is all Jesus.
When Jesus prayed to the Father, was Jesus praying to Himself? Jesus was 100% God, but also 100% man. He had to walk as you and I do, pray as you and I do, live as you and I do, and although without sin, He still had to live as the son of man. God is not a hypocrite, and would not tell us to do something He would not do Himself. Hence, Jesus the Son of man referred to the Father, but that doesn't stop the fact Jesus was that very same Father made flesh.
God is not three separate persons. Persons refers to humans. God is Holy and He is Spirit and did not have physical human body until He impregnated Mary and was born as a man.
Jesus is the Father made flesh. He is the Son. The Holy Ghost is not a separate spirit. It is the Spirit of Christ imparted unto the believer.
But the fact is this - if a person, whether oneness or trinitarian has Jesus living in them, they are the child of God. And that is the most important thing.

The so-called "immaculate conception" has been mentioned . I think. Related to that are the icons featuring a mother & baby son.. Interestingly, the first great schism if the Catholic church was over this. One branch held Mary to be Christ bearer. The other group held her to be god bearer. That schism persists to this day.
Another interesting fact is the worship of Mary was instituted at the Council of Ephesus in 431. It was held on the ruins of the temple of Artemis, who ostensibly fell from heaven. If you do your research you will see Artemis (Diana) and Mary as goddess are the same.
The church did change the time for a holiday featuring mother from the spring equinox to Dec 25.

The doctrine of trinity was not formally adopted in Constantine's time or addressed in any council during Constantine's time (though it certainly existed before his time).
Your knowledge of Christian history is pathetic. Please research the matter and try again.
Your definition of the doctrine of trinity is both erroneous and incomplete.

I don't do links yet I will tell you the worst one ever.
WHICH WAS TO DENY JESUS IN HIS BAPTISM. AS JESUS HIMSELF SAID GO INTO ALL THE WORLD BAPTIZING IN THE NAME (notice name is singular an English teacher can explain that ) OF THE FATHER SON AND HOLYGHOST !!! Therefore be it known unto all the world The Apostles did just that .Read Acts ch 2 verse 38 as therein is the plan of SALVATION GIVEN and the proof of what I teach. They said Repent and be Baptized (that's under the water by the way ) IN JESUS' NAME for the remission of sin and you shall receive the GIFT OF THE HOLYGHOST ( which was the born again experience JESUS taught to Nicodemus !!! Therefore if anyone hasn't been Baptized in JESUS name they are still in their sins and are without hope. In that they can't be born again !!! AS JUST HOW FAR CAN ONE GET WHEN THEY DIS JESUS !!!
Now in case anybody lacks Logic and critical thinking ability Father Son and Holyghost are titles and NEVER a proper name !!! Again ask an English teacher !!! As if one has a child they are a father yet they have their own personal name and people say that person is a father !!! YOU NOW KNOW WHY I SAY JESUS BLESS YOU EVERYONE ELSE SAY'S GOD BLESS YOU YET DON'T UNDERSTAND THEY ARE ONE IN THE SAME !!!
JESUS BLESS YOU p.s Wow only seven thumbs down come on People THE TRUTH HURTS WORSE THAN THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
