    @Šljorgađ Gruđljaf Hello Šljorgađ Gruđljaf, Eugene here. Think about what you are saying. You agree that it is impossible to prove it is me or you that is guided by the Holy Spirit in coming to our interpretation. Then you “declare” that Jesus left a church that will not bind its people to heresy. Do you see the problem? I am guessing that the church you are talking about is the Roman Catholic Church. If so, please read the history of that church and you will see that there have been doctrines taught to the people that later Popes changed because they said it was wrong. Then there is the same problem of how are we to decide if what you assert is true? I suggest you look at the seven churches in the book of Revelation. These were churches that Jesus left and some of them did teach false doctrine. No, the problem still is that we have to decide for ourselves what is true and what is false. We should not leave that decision to “a church” and its leaders.

The reason that after 2000 years there has arisen about 35000 different - Supposed "Christian denominations" - IS because a great many of The TRUE Church's(Begun on THE Day Of Pentecost) Spiritual Truths And Principles were confused/lost after only a few decades!! One of these principles was For EACH TRUE BELIEVER or DISCIPLE To MAKE CERTAIN - FOR THEMSELF!! Whether WHAT They'ed just been taught, or had had taught them - Was CORRECT, or NOT! And THEN, And ONLY THEN! Fellowship with - Meet with ONLY THOSE People - Who HAD Made Certain Of GOD'S Word!! To The SAME DILIGENCE as Themself!! And Come Together or Church-group IN THAT WAY!! All - Too - Soon (and Very Much So - Today) People were herded together - en masse - Brought together - In A MOST COUNTERPRODUCTIVE WAY!! For a Long time Now!!

He affirms both. There is no scripture that states Trinitarianism is a prerequisite for salvation. Holding fast to that concept and slandering a brother in Messiah is idolatrus and wickedness respectively.

    @@bobjames3748 Sorry , I can't find any response with Polycarp as first line. However, as far as I know, are there no existing writings of Polycarp anyway, and no actual proof that what others say or claim to know of him is really indisputable. In anyway, I personally believe that the NT is the Word of God, not how others think it should be interpreted.And as there is no apostolic teaching of a "Trinity" in the actual Word of God, neither something similar or at least quite close to similar, I consider so called "Church fathers" that drift away so obviously from the apostolic truth (see: letters of Paul), simply as errant. Paul , the Steward of the Mysteries of God, does not teach. that Christians should believe in a "Trinity" or that they lose their salvation if they don't believe that "Jesus is God", or that they then should be kicked out of the congregation. All this it is not even as important to him, as teaching them so many other things, that he talks about frequently, although these have nothing to do with the " most important teaching of the trinitarian Churches " . The "Trinity" is actually so "important" to him, that he does not speak of it once. And if the trinitarian Churches would likewise stop to talk about it and stop to teach it so aggressive, with permanent threats of damnation, it would soon be. forgotten like any other manmade idol.....and the Church of Jesus could faithfully return to the apostolic teachings, who feel no obligation themselves to teach or preach or talk about, not even to mention: the "Trinity".

    @@Super25041988 Paul saved the Church from becoming a dreaded hybrid of the old =unempowered Judaism and the new = empowered Christianity. Galatians 2 : 11 - 13 But when Peter came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned. Before some men arrived from James, it was his habit to eat with the gentiles. When they came he withdrew and separated himself, because he was scared of the circumcision party. The rest of the Jews played the hypocrite along with him, so that even Barnabas was led away along with them by their hypocritical actions. The old = Judaism is based on the observance of the 10x Commandments plus, which defines what sin is and the punishments for those sins. The Israelites begged Moses to stop telling them what was and is sin as they knew they were guilty. Capital punishment is very much part of The commandments = The Law and the prospect of being put to death is surely a frightening thing for man. Deuteronomy 18 : 18 - 22 The LORD your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own brothers. You must listen to him. For this is what you asked of the LORD your God at Horeb on the day of the assembly when you said, “ Let us not hear the voice of the LORD our God nor see this great fire anymore, or we will die.” The LORD said to me : “ What they say is good. I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers ; I will put my words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him. If anyone does not listen to my words the prophet speaks in my name, I myself will call him to account. But a prophet who presumes to speak in my name anything I have not commanded him to say, or a prophet who speaks in the name of other gods, must be put to death.” You may say to yourselves. “ How can we know when a message has not been spoken by the LORD?” If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the LORD does not take place or come true, that is a message the LORD has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF HIM. God chose not to empower the old in other words He did not provide the HOW to keep His Commandments. The sign/reminder for the Israelites that they were subject to the law was circumcision. When Jesus brought God’s Good News (HOW to obey God and so to escape from the lake of fire) to the Jews and demonstrated he was worthy to exercise God’s power, eg the miracles, the clergy were severely affronted esp when the people more and more started to heed his words and to believe he was the Son of David, the long awaited Messiah. Their power base with its accompanying “perks” was severely threatened so their hatred grew to the murderous extent such that they orchestrated Jesus’s crucifixion. The mood of the people changed when it became obvious Jesus was not about to “ blast “ the Romans ie he wasn’t a physical conqueror rather a spiritual conqueror unrecognized still to this day which was an affront to the extent that the “people” which would have included Jews from all the inhabited world at that time screamed “ Crucify him, we have no king but Caesar” when Pilate presented Jesus to the crowd with a crown of thorns on his head, bleeding, … as from his diabolical scourging to be followed by his even more diabolical crucifixion. Jesus’s physical demise on the cross did not stop Christianity and the clergy declared all Christians herem meaning they were ex-communicated from the Temple, synagogues…and they were to be avoided like the plague. John 16 : 1 - 4 “ I have spoken these things to you in case you should be caused to stumble in the way. They will excommunicate you from the synagogue. Yes, a time is coming when anyone who kills you will think that he is rendering a service to God ; and they will do these things because they did not recognize the Father or me. But I have spoken these things to you, so that when their time comes, you will remember that I spoke them to you.” This made it very difficult for the first Christians in Jerusalem to support themselves which is why Paul took up a collection from amongst the gentile churches he founded and brought it to Peter and his founding church. The first Christians were Jews and they had to learn some hard lessons that contradicted what they had drummed into them, ie gentiles were worthy to stoke the fires of hell, no better than the dogs in the street. When the new wont go away it is the way of men that a hybrid be formed, ie a mixture of the old and the new which doesn’t work as Jesus pointed out to John’s disciples. Mark 2 : 21 “ No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment. If he does, the new piece will tear away from the old, making the tear worse. And no one pours new wine into old wine-skins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins, and both the wine and the wineskins will be ruined. No, he pours new wine into new wineskins.” John’s disciples could well have been the circumcision party. because he was scared of the circumcision party. These miscreants offered a demonic compromise on behalf of the “ clergy “ who must not be seen to be interacting with the herem. That compromise was that the gentile Christians be circumcised as a sign that they are subject to the old = the law administered by the demonic clergy who had orchestrated Jesus’s crucifixion which conveniently supported their diabolical assertions that Jesus came in the name of satan, meaning in his heinous spirit, and this compliance took away the pronouncement of herem on the Christians in Jerusalem. The compromise being proposed was no less than an extremely unholy alliance between Jesus and satan!!!!!!!! Paul courageously empowered by Jesus’s spirit reprimanded Peter et al at Antioch and demonstrated he was one of the greatest if not the greatest defender of the faith of all time and to this day. Acts 27 : 23 - 24 “there stood beside me the angel of God, whose i am and whom i serve, saying, ‘have no fear, Paul “ Paul persecuted the early Christians bringing them before the evil Sanhedrin to be stoned to death on their demonic decision. Paul was a Pharisee even taught at the feet of Gamaliel and what he did was as a result of “ brain washing” and his innate desire to worship God. He literally thought he was doing a service to God!!!!! His turnaround at the behest of Jesus pioneered the Damascus Road experience that Jesus’s brothers and sisters experience when they are called out of the “Church” ie saved from the clutches of satan. Thinking comes before doing. Jesus brought the solution to evil thinking which is your conceived with lower human nature that controls you. That solution is access to Jesus’s spirit which is fully fit for the tasks God gives him made so by The Holy Spirit that is God. Jesus teaches you by means of Bible study daily tutored by your guardian angel.

    I very much appreciate Prof. Finnegan saying around the 49:00 mark that aside from the Scriptures, there is no book that was written that we should hold as "sacred" and binding. The Scriptures are that, but all other writings are the comments of those who, at least in theory, place themselves under the authority of the Scriptures. This is not to say that we should discount the writings of men. I have gotten tremendous value from reading commentaries from Matthew Henry to Dennis Prager. But no matter what is written by us, we need to make sure they are consistent with the Bible. Not that they are consistent with each other. I hope I made myself clear and I apologize if I didn't. I guess what I am trying to say is that we shouldn't "deify" the writings of the original church fathers just because they were written 1800 years ago. Just as in our society we tend to discount the traditions of our elders in favor of the opinions of the young, so many in the church will discount what is being said today in favor of what was written 1800 years ago (or even two generations ago). Age in of itself does not determine truth, nor does it determine how much a person loves the truth.

    @@originalhigene Eugene, forgive delay in getting back to you. Apologize for my short and sharp post to you that had a critical and snarky tone. Offence not intended. I’m not quite your age. Spent last 20 years of my “real” Christian life reading the KJV. My focus also has been on a comparative study between the KJV and 12 other mostly modern versions using 31 verses. Versions compared: ASV, NAS, NRS, NKJV, NIV, ESV, YLT (Young’s Literal Translation), DRA (Douay-Rheims American), NJB (New Jerusalem Bible), GNV (Geneva Bible 1599) and NWT (New World Translation). Verses were assessed on a scale from “missing verses”, “significant differences” to “doctrinal errors”. Analysis reveals every compared version is fraught with errors. Most modern versions indicate the gospel is foolishness (1Cor 1:21); Elhanan killed Golaith (2Sam 21:19); no one (rather than no man) shall pluck them out of my hand (Jn 10:28) . . . speaks to the notion of eternal security. Several more verses could be listed. All manuscripts available to the King James translators were either fragments or contained errors because they were copies of copies, etc - no originals. The finished product was without provable errors; which should be expected if God is to leave His Church His inerrant word (2Tim 3:16). God’s name is on the cover (one of God’s many names is Jacob (Ps 24:6), a variant of James). Hope the foregoing sheds light on why I am a KJV-ONLY Christian. Regarding the Trinity issue, I observe the discussions focused mainly around whether or not Jesus is God. From that aspect I disagree with the statement it is not addressed in the KJV. Jn 1:1 (“and the Word was God”) and 1Jn 5:7 (“and these three are one”) both speak to the Trinity. Additional verses: Col 1:12-18; 1Jn 3:16 (God laid down his life for us); Jn 8:58 (I AM is in caps vice lower case in other versions); Heb 1:8 (God addresses the Son as “O God”); Titus 2:13 (Looking for appearance of invisible God and Jesus Christ as one entity); Jn 10:30 (Father and Jesus are one). Perhaps some or all the above verses may be taken in a different context or interpreted differently and my case is not made. Assuming the Trinity doctrine is true, I certainly can’t explain how it works; but all I can go by is the evidence-verses above. Noted, with non-KJV bibles it is easier to argue against the Trinity. Notwithstanding, it could be that God doesn’t even want us to probe the issue. It’s a mystery (Col 2:2). There are things He has revealed to us and there are secret things that belong to Him (Dt 29:29). Peace.

I see no value comparing the KJV to other English translations with the purpose of proving that the KJV is the one God wrote. All that you can show is that they differ. It will benefit you if you compare the KJV with the KJV and see if it agrees with itself. Try this; open two KJV BIBLES side by side, one to Psalm 40:6 and open the other to Hebrews 10:5. Compare and tell me which verse in your KJV is the verse God intended. Please let me know which one is inspired and without error. Peace

And there’s no reason to believe otherwise that the Bible He uses to do that will not have errors and He won’t use one that we haven’t had access to before Judgement Day. Contrary to the 99% Christianity, the inerrant word of God does exists! Ps 40:6 and He 10:5 taken in each’s context do not present an issue to me.

    Excellent presentation! The false doctrine of the Trinity & those who teach salvation is dependent on accepting it, is the biggest stumbling block keeping many from being born again today. Most are saved in spite of it, not because of it. I asked a Rabbi why he didn't believe Jesus is the Messiah and he said because Jesus cannot be God, that'd be idolatry. Most telling was Tertullian, calling the majority of believers simple and unlearned, shows the arrogance of those who play around with the simplicity of God's Word and convince others they cannot receive it without their expertise. God desires all men to be saved, salvation is not obscure, complicated or hidden. Simply believe Rom 10:9-10 - so simple, even a child can understand.

    Was there a doctrine of the Trinity in the time of Jesus and His disciples? Answer. The simplest outline of the doctrine was formulated in the 4th century, largely in terms of rejection of what was considered not to be consonant with general Christian belief. Further elaboration continued in the succeeding centuries.[10] Scripture contains neither the word Trinity,[11] nor an expressly formulated doctrine of the Trinity. Rather, according to the Christian theology, it "bears witness to" the activity of a God who can only be understood in Trinitarian terms.[12] The doctrine did not take its definitive shape until late in the fourth century.[13] During the intervening period, various tentative solutions, some more and some less satisfactory, were proposed. 10. "Trinity, doctrine of" in The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church (Oxford University Press 2005 ISBN 978-0-19-280290-3) 11. Matt Slick, "The word Trinity is not found in the Bible" 12. McGrath Alister E. Christian Theology: An Introduction Blackwell, Oxford (2001) p.321 13. McGrath, Alister E. Christian Theology: An Introduction Blackwell, Oxford (2001) p.324 The above info answers saying there was NO OFFICIAL Trinity doctrine in the time of Jesus and His disciples, because as we have clearly read. The Trinity doctrine did not take its definitive shape until 300 years later in the 4th century. Question for Trinitarians? As there was NO TRINITY doctrine for over 300 years after Christ, and the Disciples and millions of Christians did not have the TRINITY doctrine as their MAIN faith, but instead believed GOD was ONE GOD AND ONE PERSON ALONE and that Jesus was the SON of GOD. Would this mean the Disciples and millions of Christians, including Jesus who only ever taught His Father was ONE PERSON in Mark 12:29, and that He was GODS SON John 10:36, are they all going to HELL? WHY DO MOST OF CHRISTIANITY BELIEVE IN WHAT WAS NEVER TAUGHT IN THE TIME OF JESUS AND HIS DISCIPLES? No one needs to be a scientist to read the history of the TRINITY, and see how the TRINITY became a NEW RELIGION in the fourth century.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3) "I am the Lord, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me" (Isaiah 45:5). "The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?" (Mat. 22:44). "But our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time. Then he sat down in the place of honor at God’s right hand." (Heb. 10:12) "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman the man; and the head of Christ God." (1Cor. 11:3) "I and my Father are one.” (John 10:30) "the Father is in me, and I in him" (John 10:38) "Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily." (Col. 2:8&9) "there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1Tim. 2:5). "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him." "When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. he saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it." (Mat. 16:13-18). "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost" (Mat. 28:19) "So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs." (Heb. 1:4) "Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved." (ACTS 4:10-12) "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves." (James 1:22) "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." (Rev 2:29)

    Thank you for this video. I have been praying and meditating on whether God is Trinity or not. I am leaning against it. I think you sealed it for me in your quote from Tertullian Against Praxias 3 "the MAJORITY of believers' rule of faith withdraws them from the world's plurality of gods to the one only true god" "take themselves pre-eminently the credit of being worshippers of the One God". Tertullian himself is telling us in his own words what the majority of believers of his time believed. People back them believed in many gods existing at the same time. So to believe in One True God was very unique and distinctive. This is what set them apart from everybody else. Therefore, it could only mean exactly what it says....one means one.

    What I’ve learned through studying scripture is that everything is addressed is scripture. It speaks to everything we see today including all of the major heresies. Paul warned us of “different Jesus “as well as the Antichrist but never not to worship Jesus. Scripture is a living word therefore we see it’s application in our life today. We are warned against false gods, idols etc yet it never mentions anything wrong with worshipping Jesus. In fact Philippians 2:9-11 we are to bow to Jesus. Idk guys, I used to be a Jehovah’s Witness and someone couldn’t get me to understand the Trinity for nothing in the world then, now that I’ve woken up from that false religion I’m able to clearly see the amazing mystery of God’s nature. ❤️

    @Jackilegs112 alker After having been raised as a 3rd generation JW I believed things that were not scriptural. It took me having to humble myself to acknowledge this. Jesus said we must change and become like children Matthew 18:2-5. This is referring to our conversion in Christ. We must be humble like children to enter the Kingdom of heaven. He does not mean that a child can read the Bible and understand. We cannot understand God’s word using our own interpretation but allowing scripture to interpret itself and allowing ourselves to be led by the Holy Spirit not men, we will have a greater understanding of His word. 1john 2:27 ; 1 Corinthians 2:14. Jesus was not created. The Bible does not teach this. It is an interpretation from men not understanding scripture. So using the discernment we receive from the Holy Spirit and not literal interpretation that we receive from men, we understand that the author wrote in Greek which in the Greek the word “begotten” is “monogenes “ means “one of a kind” or “unique one”. Not created. We see similar language used regarding Abraham’s son Isaac, being his only “begotten “ son. Hebrews 11:17. Yet we know Ishmael was the oldest son so Isaac was not the only son brought into existence. So contextually, we see that the word “begotten” referring to Jesus means “one of a kind” “unique “. Hope this helps.

    @Jackilegs112 alker 🙂 funny it’s ironic, I came to truth when I no longer wanted to believe the lie. Jesus said He is the truth and the life no one gets to the Father accept through Him John 14:6. He didn’t say follow men or an organization, which would most certainly cause one to follow a lie. I follow Jesus, therefore I am following truth. See how simple that was? We shouldn’t speak on our own opinion as facts but allow scripture to speak facts and we just listen. There are things that I could say , in my own interpretation, as not making sense but once understood in Spirit , I clearly understand. Two things for sure: The Bible is Gods inspired word and the Bible doesn’t contradict. Keeping that in mind, it lays a foundation and keeps you on the path to truth.

    @Jackilegs112 alker yeah I wasn’t a Bible study student. Don’t think I would have ever given them any attention if that’s how I was introduced to it. I was born into this belief system, 3 generations, it’s all I knew. I had to go against all I knew to seek out truth which yeah, took some time, but praise God, I did. The true God is One God. I believe if we know and hold true to the below scriptures we have the correct understanding of God’s nature. Deuteronomy 6:4; John 5:18; Matthew 28:19-20; Luke 3:21-22; Luke 1:35; 1 Peter 1:2; 1 Corinthians 8:6; John 14:26; Genesis 1:26; John 14;16-17; John 1:1-51; Colossians 2:9; 1 John 5:7-8; John 15:26; Ephesians 4:4-6; Isaiah 9:6; Philippians 2:5-8; Colossians 1:15-17; John 10:30-36; Acts 5:3-4; Genesis 3:22; 1john 5:7; John 8:58; Matthew 3:13-17; Isaiah 46:9; Hebrews 1:3, 8; Luke 22:42 ; Micah 5:2; revelation 1:8; John 17:5; 1 Corinthians 12:11; Job 33:4; 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Philippians 1:2; Titus 14; Titus 3:6; James 2:19; romans 10:9; psalms 110:1; Thanks for the discussion.

    @Jackilegs112 alker Everyone is a Jehovah’s Witness in my family on both sides. I was in field service at 5 years old and baptized at 14. No regrets, it’s God’s purpose as I am now equipped to respond to scripture quotes as John 14:28 since I had to seek it out myself. The scripture John 14:28 was one I used to quote as well amongst so many others, that I thought meant Jesus was not divine. However comparing John 10:30 “I and the Father are one”, it would seem that we’d have a contradiction. However you and I both know that the Bible doesn’t contradict, people do. So to be sure I understood in context I went deeper into the text. While reading about the humility we should have I came across Philippians 2:5-7 “Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus, who as He, already existed in the form of God did not consider equality with God something to be grasped but emptied Himself by taking the form of a bondservant and being born in the likeness is men.” Also Hebrews 1:9 “but we see Him who for a little while, was made lower than the angels ...” Then Colossians 2:9 we learn that Jesus nature is full deity. Which is a divine Being. Also we know that Jesus came to do the will of His Father. John 6:38. So contextually we see that yes , the Father is greater than Jesus in role not nature. They are both divine. Same way as a human father is greater than his son in role but both are human. Jesus shares the same nature as the Father, not the role.

    @Jackilegs112 alker I love how you said “Jesus is a derivation of the Father”. That is so true. I completely agree. We see that in John 1:1 “ in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and God was the Word.” John 1:14 we see that the Word became flesh. The Word derived from God so the Word is God. It is the same Being. I’ve read Proverbs 8 in it’s entirety. The very first verse reveals that “wisdom” with a female persona is what the text is speaking of. Yes wisdom is from God. Should we not think that wisdom has always existed in God? One thing I truly see now after I woke up and had to research everything I was taught , is this...what the Trinity truly is. I had such a different picture in my mind of the Trinity than I have now that I’m reborn. I think since we cannot understand the entire Majestic nature of our Holy God Almighty we cannot interpret His Being. This was where I started in my realization of who God truly is. So connecting the dots I said to myself, what does scripture say about who God is? His character, His Divinity, His Eternal existence, His Glory, His Goodness,...? Then I researched to see who else shares these things and could not find anyone else but the One True God. He is the one who is all these things and all these things are in Him. Who has these attributes? The Father - psalm 93:2 The Son - revelation 1:8 The Holy Spirit - psalms 139:7-8 Now I understand why we are to be baptized in the name of the Father , the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Agape love ❤️

    4 There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called in one hope of your calling; 5 one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6 one God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all. Ephesians 4:4-6 (NKJV) 20 But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. Jude 20-21 (NKJV) 14 The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all. Amen. 2 Corinthians 13:14 (NKJV) 3 But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.” Acts 5:3-4 (NKJV) The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool. Psalm 110:1 (NKJV) 24 Then the Lord (Son) rained brimstone and fire on Sodom and Gomorrah, from the Lord (Father) out of the heavens. Genesis 19:24 (NKJV) 11 “I (Son) overthrew some of you, As God (Father) overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, And you were like a firebrand plucked from the burning; Yet you have not returned to Me,” Says the Lord (Son). Amos 4:11 (NKJV) 8 But to the Son He says: “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom. 9 You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.” 10 And: “You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands. 11 They will perish, but You remain; And they will all grow old like a garment; 12 Like a cloak You will fold them up, And they will be changed. But You are the same, And Your years will not fail.” Hebrews 1:8-12 (NKJV)

    To sum up the video or at least the first part: 1. Let's define Trinity so narrowly that nobody before the Council of Chalcedon could possibly be a Trinitarian. 2. If a church father fails to express Trinitarian beliefs (as per #1), let's declare him "not a Trinitarian". 3. If we cannot help acknowledge a Trinitarian statement, either a. declare it a forgery, or b. say that it doesn't count because the same father also made several not so clear statements (per #2).

    Deuteronomy 6:4 Hear O Israel, YHVH our God is ONE (Echad) The relationship of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit has been a point of discussion for almost 2000 years. In Malachi 3:6 we read that YHVH does not change. Therefore the key to understanding the relationship of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit can be found in the above verse Deuteronomy 6:4. To employ that key we must look at the original language of the text where YHVH is describes as One. The verse is the basis of the Shema which is the fundamental statement of faith for the Jewish people. Most non Messianic Jews have a big problem with the Christian concept of a triune God. The key for both Jews and Christians to learn the correct concept of our God is the word echad. Echad is the Hebrew word for one, but more precisely it means a single entity but made up of more than one part. There is another Hebrew word from the same root - Yachid which means single. The meaning of Echad (more than one part) is a confirmation of the Hebrew word Elohim which is translated as God. Elohim is a plural word - more than one being called God There is one more clear proof of the truine nature of the God of Israel. Isaiah 48:16 And now YHVH and His Ruach (Spirit) have sent Me (an eternal person speaking in verse 12 and 16 - Yeshua) Three entities can be clearly seen in that verse. The nature of God is a mystery, but we can clearly see that although God is Echad, He is much more than that - He is Echad and He is Elohim - Hallelu YAH

    I watched Finnegan's video, and I read your claim. Just my opinion, but what you claim is "clear" is not clear. Maybe it's "clear" to you, but it's not "clear" to me. On a technical scholarly note, may I respectfully suggest that you put your bible quotes in "quotation marks" so that people can determine whether your claims are actually scriptural - or just your own. And it might also be best if you identify the translation version of whatever bible you use. (Like KJV or NEB, or NET). I suppose it might be best to that you identify the publication date of whatever bible source you use as well, because apparently there's significant differences. Oh uh, BTW, you know Newton? He did an interesting test on what was "clear". Newton passed "clear" light through a prism, and discovered it was not really "clear", it was actually an assembly of many different light wave lengths. Point is, what you think in your brain is "clear" may actually be something else, especially to people who see things differently.

    I absolutely believe that God is a God so awesome in power and glory that He has within Himself three avenues through which He moves. These avenues of God are: the will of God (the Father), the part which fulfills His will (the Word, or the Son), and the part which establishes His will (Holy Ghost) Each avenue has a specific purpose which only It can accomplish. And, because God's glory is so powerfully thick, these avenues have power potent enough to move on their own so that they can accomplish their purposes. Because of that, it seems the avenues are separate; but since they are extensions of God, they are in no way separate from Him. Even in the case of God extending the avenue of His Word into becoming flesh, the Messiah, even that extension is still God. And God is still a spirit even though a part of Him has become flesh- Jesus.

The Trinitarians have dug their heels in this matter, and think everyone else is going to hell. It is just as difficult to convert a Trinitarian to a Unitarian as it is trying to get a meth or heroin addict to become sober. The fact that 72% of Christians actually believe in the Trinity, tells me that Satan has been exceedingly successful in tricking many well intentioned Christians down a path that won't lead to Heaven. Looking at the world today, and how society is indulging & bathing in sin, as a hog trough full of slop, tells me the 28% is the correct path, because the path towards righteousness & eternal life is a difficult & perilous one. I fully expect that 72% number to grow, and the 28% number to shrink, as our society continues to fall apart, and sin continues to spead & become more prevalent.

Philippians 2:9-11 New International Version 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. it's not entirely incompatible, just listen to christ and pray to the father as christ himself instructed. i think the trinity is a much bigger problem.

    The clarified definition of trinitarian theology did indeed evolve in terms of language, but not on the premise of who Jesus' followers believed Him to be. The language and further clarity on the doctrine was developed as a response to heresies that were popping up, like gnosticism. If Jesus isn't the mighty God, Christianity is blasphemy. If Jesus is the same as the Father, Christianity is insane. But if you fully understand the trinitarian doctrine, it solves theological gaps that might lead to blasphemous or nonsensical conclusions. Nobody has seen God, yet the Angel of the Lord(Yahweh) would appear to people and they would survive, though terrified they would die because they had "seen God". What this demonstrates is that nobody can see the Father, which is the raw source of God's being, but when the Word of God, His angel, is sent to represent Him as His expressed image, then people can apparently "see God" and live 🤔 This is why Jesus said nobody has seen the Father except him. That nobody knows the father except the Son and nobody knows the Son except the Father. This is why also when Phillip asks Jesus to show them the Father, he said "have "I" not been with you so long snd you still don't recognize ME? If you've seen me, you've seen the Father." He also claims to have seem Abraham and then claims Eternal existence by saying before Abraham was "I AM". The one who visited Abraham was Jehovah. In Genesis it says Jehovah on Earth rained down fire and brimstone from the Jehovah in heaven. If the Trinity isn't true, then I can't in good conscience remain a Christian and the entirety of my religion would no longer make sense. This video avoids a lot of the evidence you would find in the Bible and the early Church Fathers that would demonstrate the trinitarian paradigm..

    Hello Sean Finnegan, Eugene here. If the trinity doctrine were true, please tell me what the three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost would/could "talk" with each other about since they all know everything that the others know? I think that there is only two kinds of sentences, questions and statements, so they would not ask any questions as they have none to ask. Statements are likewise useless to share with someone who already knows everything. Even if they said nothing with words, what facial expressions would they wear? Smiles, frowns, wow, I'm thinking? I'm going nuts just thinking about it. How could I have believed this stuff for so long. I am also puzzled by God the Father sending God his son to die. Most fathers would not do that. If someone had to go, the dad would go if he really loved his son. There would have to be a really good reason for me to send my son to die if I could go instead. And then I wonder why God would sacrifice his son when He hates that practice of child sacrifice. Then why would God have to "get inside a human body" if all God needed to do was die. Why not just die up in heaven for three days and be done with it? Would God really need humans to arrest Him and nail Him to a cross so that He can die? Sean, I do not have a problem with the rule that the penalty for rebelling against God is the loss of life, but isn't what the two robbers who died beside Jesus went through enough to pay for their sins? Does God want/need more that what they paid?

    ​@@homegrownfitnessequipment4602There are no church fathers. The Word of God says, Call no man Father, you have one Father which is in heaven. Moreover, they were not Apostles, some became heretics (see Tertullian and Montanist heresy). We have the testimony of the Apostles and Prophets, and no teaching of a trinity. It is difficult to be objective concerning the trinitarian doctrine, having been indoctrinated by it. God is a spirit, not a man, nor a person as defined by our dictionaries as a human individual. Moreover, Jesus is the Son that was to be given according to the revelation of the prophecy in Isaiah 9 :6. The point is that the Son is the Everlasting Father, Mighty God. Wherefore, the Son is the Father, the Son and the Father are one, they are the same according to this scripture. We don't want to say it because of the trinitarian indoctrination. But it is true that the Son is the Everlasting Father, and they are the same, because they are one. Jesus said it, I and my Father are one, and if you have seen, you have seen the Father. We should rather teach that there is one God, than harp on this false doctrine that God is three persons. Know this, we know in part 1Cor13, and now we see through a glass darkly, but then face to face, and we shall know even as we are known 1Cor13 :12. And also, When God shall appear, we shall be like him, and we shall see him as he is 1Jn 3 :2. The trinitarian doctrine was born out of the pride of men. Because the revelation of the mystery of God as he is has not yet been given. And they have taken this sacred mystery and created their own revelation by reason of their pride and lack of humility. Words cannot reveal this mystery, but Jesus will us the only Potentate, the King of Kings, and the Lord of Lord's, who dwells in the light that no man can approach unto, whom no man has seen, neither can see 1Tim6:14-16.

Well if God himself is a spirit and the Spirit of God is also a spirit, what is the meaningful distinction of God the Father and the Holy Spirit if essentially they are the same in their essential being?
