Is The Trinity Real?

Is The Trinity Real? 

The current prevailing theory regarding modern-day Christianity is the concept of the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity has no basis in either The New Testament nor The Old Testament. It is solely dependent on human interpretation to form up such a calamity of a doctrine. If a topic has been breached it only deems its ideas as highly unreliable, please visit the article regarding the corruption of The Bible. (Click here) Several Christian Biblical scholars, world-renowned scientists and even presidents have rejected the notion of a Trinity. The idea of a Trinity seems to greatly differ in comparison to the older teachings and belief systems of  Christianity. Christians can redefine the Trinity in a way that it could be easier to logically grasp, but the problem with this would be that their understanding of the Trinity would not be based on scriptural evidence, rather, it would only be the product of their human thoughts. In other words "lying to themselves". The only clear reference to the Trinity in the New Testament is [1 John 5:7]. The main problem is that it does not appear in any New Testament manuscripts before the 16th century. In other words, it is a fabricated verse that was later inserted into the New Testament over a thousand five-hundred  years after the departure of Jesus Christ. How could God ask God for permission in order to preform a miracle as stated in (John 11:41-42) where Jesus says "Father, I thank you that you have heard me." Contrary to popular missionary teachings, one plus one does not equal to three. In Edward Gibbon's History of Christianity, we read: "If Paganism was conquered by Christianity, it is equally true that Christianity was corrupted by Paganism." There is no original document of the Bible available to us to verify its tragedy of a doctrine. Concerning the New Testament documents The Interpreter's Dictionary of the Bible confirmed that: “The original copies of the NT books have, of course, long since disappeared. This fact should not cause surprise. In the first place, they were written on papyrus, a very fragile and perishable material. In the second place, and probably of even more importance, the original copies of the NT books were not looked upon as scripture by those of the early Christian communities.”


Since The Bible contains no verses affirming the legitimacy of a trinity, the so called lying pen of the scribes have taken matters into their own hands by inserting texts to clarify the nature of God and putting words in the mouth of Jesus while simultaneously claiming to be "inspired" However, this raises a serious flaw, why would God have to wait for the departure of Jesus to "inspire" his true nature? If the assertions regarding the verses of The New Testament clearly said Jesus was God, that still wouldn't make him a God. As The Devil was called a God (2 Corinthians 4:4) Moses was called a God (Exodus 7:1) Jesus called other people Gods (John 10:34) and lastly, the children of Israel (The Jewish) were even called Gods (Psalms 82:6). Even the Popes themselves would sometimes recognize the falsehood of the human created"Trinity" and the fact that it was a later fabrication of mankind. One of these popes, Honorius, summoned the courage to declare the truth and was subsequently officially cursed forty eight years after his death by the Synod which was held in Istanbul in 680 C.E. It is interesting to note that Churches which uphold the doctrine of the Trinity generally hang on for dear life to this far-from-accurate translation, adamantly refusing to believe that it contains a single error. Could it have anything to do with the fact that this "approved" text of the Church has been exposed to many generations of modifications of the text, deliberate or otherwise, which have had the interesting end result of making this doctrine so much "clearer" to the reader than it ever was in any of the original manuscripts or with the very first Christians? The following verse from John 5:37 is a very interesting statement that missionaries and priests alike would pray that never comes up in a debate. It strikes a devastating blow to the concept of a trinity. (John 5:37) -"And the FATHER who sent me has himself testified concerning me. You have never heard HIS voice nor seen HIS form,"  We have never heard the father's voice nor seen his form. Despite this, people will still ignorantly claim that Jesus is God? When it was stated that nobody has seen his voice nor seen his form? If a Christian responds by saying it was talking about God's actual form then that is still considered an error because the Human-form of Jesus is still a form of God. One bright man who had rejected the notion of the trinity, Dr. Joseph Priestly (1733–1804), a British Scientist, Natural Philosopher and Theologian who first discovered Oxygen gas. (1) As a Unitarian Theologian, Dr. Priestley wanted to return Christianity to its “primitive” or “pure” form by eliminating the “corruptions” which had accumulated over many centuries.  His two volume books the Institutes of Natural and Revealed Religions first published in 1771 astonished all of its readers. (2)(3)  Primarily because it challenged basic Christian orthodoxies such as the divinity of Christ. The History of Corruptions of Christianity was initially added as the fourth part of this book. It became so voluminous that he had to issue it separately. The doctrine of the Trinity is commonly expressed as: “One God, three Persons”. The word “Trinity” does not even appear in the Bible and does not make any philosophical sense. It was first used by Tertullian (c.155-230). The doctrine was formally defined in the Nicene Creed, which declared Jesus to be: “God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten. Dr. Priestly argues that the original apostles and Gentiles considered Jesus only a man and the Promised Messiah. Furthermore, he writes: “ Not only do we find no trace of so prodigious a change in the ideas which the apostles entertained concerning Christ, as from that of a man like themselves, (which it must be acknowledged were the first that they entertained,) to that of the most high God, or one who was in any sense their maker or preserver, that when their minds were most fully enlightened, after the descent of the Holy Spirit, and to the latest period of their ministry, they continued to speak of him in the same style; even when it is evident they must have intended to speak of him in a manner suited to his state of greatest exaltation and glory”. (Natural and Revealed Religions page 15)  He further continued: “There is a pretty easy gradation in the progress of the doctrine of the divinity of Christ; as he was first thought to be a God in some qualified sense of the word, a distinguished emanation from the supreme mind, and then the logos or wisdom of God personified; and it was not till near four hundred years after Christ that he was thought to be properly equal to the Father. Whereas, on the other hand, it is now pretended, that the apostles taught the doctrine of the proper divinity of Christ; and yet it cannot be denied that, in the very times of the apostles, the Jewish church, and many of the Gentiles, held the opinion of his being a mere man” (Natural and Revealed Religions page 313)

Christians believe that Jude 4 is proof for Jesus' deity. However, this is logically flawed and actually contradicts their claim. They assert it reads "Jesus is our Only Sovereign and Lord." On the contrary, a more accurate translation states "For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ." Which clearly distinguishes between God and Jesus. Furthermore, a large number of scholars who reject the trinity declare John 17:3 as being evidence. The best trinity believers can do is label them "anti-trinitarians" and mock them for not indulging in their pseudo-philosophy. In regards to . The N.I.V Bible reads that "Late manuscripts of the Vulgate testify in heaven: the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit, and these three are one. And there are three that testify on earth: the (not found in any Greek manuscript before the sixteenth century)"


The "Trinity" of Christendom, as defined in the creed of Nicea, is a merging of three distinct entities into one single entity, while remaining three distinct entities. We are told to speak of the three gods as one god, and never as three gods which would be considered heresy (Isaiah 43:10). They are considered to be co-eternal, co-substantial, and co-equal. However, only the first was self existent. The others preceded from the first. This Neo-Platonic philosophical doctrine has its roots not in the inspiration of God, but in ancient paganism. Most ancient religions were built upon some sort of threefold distinction. Deities were always trinities of some kind or consisted of successive emanation in threes. The principle of Christianity shares ties with the doctrine of the divine trinity called "Tri-murti" (Three-forms) consisting of Brahma, Vishnu, and Siva. It is an inseparable unity though three in form. Worshipers are told to worship them as one deity. Which dates back to 500 BC, with roots extending as far back as 2000 BC. Sir William Jones says: "Very respectable natives have assured me, that one or two missionaries have been absurd enough to in their zeal for the conversion of the Gentiles, to urge that the Hindoos were even now almost Christians; because their Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesa (Siva), were no other than the Christian Trinity." (Bible myths and their parallels in other religions, p. 370.) Trinities were not confined to these groups alone, but the Egyptians, Greeks Persians, the Assyrians, the Phoenicians, the Scandinavians, the Druids, the inhabitants of Siberia, the ancient Mexicans, the Peruvians, and many others, all worshiped "Trinitarian" pagan deities (among a great multitude of other gods) long before the council of Nicea of 325 C.E. officially recognized this to be God's "true" nature.

Christians may claim "I am not worshiping idols."  For this we only need to read the very detailed prohibition of The Biblical God in this regard which he Himself emphatically declared in the Bible: "Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them (pagans), after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise." (Deuteronomy 12:30)

And there came a fear on all: and they glorified God, saying, that a great prophet is risen up among us; and, that God hath visited his people. (KJV)(Luke 7:16) 


Trinity preachers will often cite the verse of Luke as evidence to God appearing in human form. However, the people called Jesus "a great prophet," which tells us right away that they did not think he was God. God "visits" His people by sending them some blessing. This is clear from verses like Ruth 1:6, "Then she [Naomi] arose with her daughters in law, that she might return from the country of Moab: for she had heard in the country of Moab how that the Lord had visited his people in giving them bread." In the Book of Ruth, Yahweh visited His people by sending them bread, while, in the Gospels, God visited His people by sending them "a great prophet" who raised a widow's son from the dead. Case closed. As several of the previous teachings have educated that the principle belief was Jesus was not more than just a messenger. His overpraising and inaccurate doctrines somehow prophesied him to be as of some sort of God. Another fellow scientist, in the year of 1690, Sir Isaac Newton, an English physicist and mathematician. Wrote a manuscript on the corruption of the text of the New Testament concerning I John 5:7 and Timothy 3:16. It was entitled, "A Historical Account of Two Notable Corruptions of Scripture." In regards to I John 5:7. Newton stated that this verse appeared for the first time in the third edition of Erasmus's New Testament.  When they got the Trinity; into his edition they threw by their manuscript, if they had one, as an almanac out of date. And can such shuffling dealings satisfy considering men?....It is rather a danger in religion than an advantage to make it now lean on a broken reed.  In all the vehement universal and lasting controversy about the Trinity in Jerome's time and both before and long enough after it, this text of the "three in heaven" was never once thought of. It is now in everybody's mouth and accounted the main text for the business and would assuredly have been so too with them, had it been in their books. "Let them make good sense of it who are able. For my part, I can make none.  If it be said that we are not to determine what is Scripture what not by our private judgments, I confess it in places not controverted, but in disputed places I love to take up with what I can best understand. It is the temper of the hot and superstitious art of mankind in matters of religion ever to be fond of mysteries, and for that reason to like best what they understand least. Such men may use the Apostle John as they please, but I have that honour for him as to believe that he wrote good sense and therefore take that to be his which is the best."

Modern-Christians even go as far to claim that the United States of America is a Christian country. Based on the fact as Christians make-up for the majority. Which is false as America was not founded as a Christian nation, just look at the constitution.(4) With this in mind, even the early presidents have rejected the entire concept of a trinity. The second U.S President John Adams wrote in a letter: 

"The divinity of Jesus is made a convenient cover for absurdity. Nowhere in the Gospels do we find a precept for Creeds, Confessions, Oaths, Doctrines, and whole carloads of other foolish trumpery that we find in Christianity."  (5) 
Adams even rejected the divinity of Jesus, and the flawless nature of the Bible. (6) He also adds: "I almost shudder at the thought of alluding to the most fatal example of the abuses of grief which the history of mankind has preserved--the Cross. Consider what calamities that engine of grief has produced!"--(John Adams in a letter to Thomas Jefferson)
 In another letter to Van der Kamp he wrote the following: “As I understand the Christian religion, it was, and is, a revelation. But how has it happened that millions of fables, tales, legends, have been blended with both Jewish and Christian revelation that have made them the most bloody religion that has ever existed?" (John Adams letter to F.A. Van der Kamp,) Dec. 27, 1816.

The third U.S President Thomas Jefferson (The writer of the US Declaration of Independence, and the signer of US Constitution) wrote that:  The divine aspects of Christ were "the fabric of very inferior minds. It is as easy to separate those parts, as to pick out diamonds from dunghills." -- (Jefferson in a letter to John Adams, January, 24, 1814).  
“Among the sayings and discourses imputed to [Jesus] by His biographers, I find many passages of fine imagination, correct morality, and of the most lovely benevolence; and others, again, of so much ignorance, so much absurdity, so much untruth, charlatanism and imposture, as to pronounce it impossible that such contradictions should have proceeded from the same Being. I separate, therefore, the gold from the dross; restore to Him the former, and leave the latter to the stupidity of some, and roguery of others of His disciples. Of this band of dupes and impostors, Paul was the great . . . corrupter of the doctrines of Jesus.” -- (Jefferson in a letter William Short, April, 13, 1820.)

If a believer were to truly reflect on his intellect or actually read The Bible instead of worrying about what the deceiving missionaries have to say. The verse of Matthew 24:36 is direct evidence that Jesus himself was not God, nor was possessed by God's spirit. (Matthew 24:36) Jesus said "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." 
Not only do the angels not know when the hour is. Neither does the son, who is allegedly God himself. How is it possible that God knows when the hour is and does not know when the hour is simultaneously? To claim that "It was his human form that did not know." is ridiculous. It then separates God from Jesus. This verse alone is enough to refute the notion of Jesus being a God. If Christians still decide to reject this. No amount of reconciling or reasoning will prepare them for the flurry of contradictions that will arise.  

In conclusion: The Encyclopedia Americana comments: "Fourth century Trinitarianism did not reflect accurately early Christian teaching regarding the nature of God; it was, on the contrary, a deviation from this teaching." The Trinity only creates more problems for Christianity than it helps resolve. It separates the teachings from a once monotheistic faith to a strong correlation of ancient paganism. The British newspaper the "Daily News" 25/6/84 under the  heading "Shock survey of Anglican Bishops" We read that a British television pole of 31 of the 39 Anglican Bishops in England found 19 to believe that it is not necessary for Christians to believe that Jesus is God, but only "His supreme agent" (his messenger) and testified to by John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you hast sent." There would be no point in sending Jesus if God were to eventually put his words in the anonymous authors' minds.  Foremost among these exposed fabrications of the Church was the doctrine of the Trinity and the relationship of Jesus to God, which were both found to be in no way supported by the Biblical text but were indeed forced upon the text through Church manipulation of the text including insertion of verses and mis-translation of others. Christian Missionaries claim that the Bible is the inerrant word of God. Other Christians at least revere the Bible above other scriptures. Most Christians accept the Bible as a moral guide, accept it as an accurate document on the life of Jesus, and believe that it reveals important spiritual truths. But the Bible does not come from God. It contains many contradictions, it advocates atrocities, and its stories are myths based largely on Pagan myths. No matter how many verses these people will howl at you. An individual as to take a step back and rationalize the bigger picture. It does not count how many verses they howl at you, we all know how unreliable The Bible is and how many changes it has gone through, Making it nothing but a piece of paper with ink written on the surface, almost as if i had written your name in a book and left it there for thousands of years. The mission of preservation has already been terminated, making the books unreliable. If logic is not enough to refute the weightless trinity claim, I will have to leave you with the reminder that Christians believe God is a little baby boy who had his posterior wiped by his own mummy.
