Where in the Bible does it say, “submit to Rome.”? What has anything in Catholicism, got to do with the Bible? Catholicism is Pagan Heresy. The Romans crucified Jesus and destroyed Jerusalem in AD70. Jesus was a Jew, not Roman. The Popes are false imposters and the entire Catholic system is the AntiChrist, that’s mentioned in Revelation. The Greek word Anti means false, as in a false imposter. Just look at the pope, what is he wearing? All the teachings and practices of Catholicism, are from various Pagan religions and have no place in True Christianity. The Romans usurped Christianity, to prolong the Roman Empire, by bringing all the variety of religions into one. Catholicism conflicts with the Bible and regards the Church’s authority above the Bible. The history of Catholicism and the Popes, is a far cry from the message of Christianity and the example of Jesus. Jesus is the Lord and King. The Popes of Rome are false pretenders who follow after the way of the Flesh, not the Fruit of the Spirit. Am I right?
Love your videos. I am a student of the Orthodox Theological Faculty in Belgrade. Your videos helped me a lot to understand things that weren't clear to me. Greetings from Serbia.
6:17 “Since God was untouchable, the spoken word of God came to us and did these things.” That would mean this “spoken word of God” acted as a mediator between God and man. Awesome! 👏 👉Jesus
Man, this is absolutely incredible. As a former atheist who reverted back to Catholicism, I always feel extreme joy of learning all the different paths one can find to teach the Truthfulness of the Christian doctrines.
If you want the confusion the trinity brings then that's up to you. I used to believe the trinity but it reached the point that it made no sense. No matter how all the silly analogies were given, three 100% gods, could not equal one God. www.biblicalunitarian.com/videos/practical-consequences-of-believing-in-the-trinity www.biblicalunitarian.com/articles/is-jesus-god www.biblicalunitarian.com/100-scriptural-arguments-for-the-unitarian-faith
@@messengeroftruth1672 Ancient Persia? Really. Ok, so the fact that God is One, reveals Himself in three persons, and they all share the same divinity? Ok, what's your source material for that
Thank you so much, this trilogy has made me realize the difference between the Father and Jesus in the story of Jesus because I always thought it was horrible to say God is Jesus thinking that they meant the Father is the Son. Thank you for enlightening me on the difference between God, Jesus, the Father, and the Holy Spirit.
There will be time, times, and half a time, and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things will be finished." Daniel 12:7 We're in Times, not Time. This ➡️ 🧔👴🕊️abomination of desolation standing in the holy place leads to this ➡️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 desolating abomination at the end of the world (2 THESS 2:3-13) Matthew 24:15 ("let the reader understand.") Vengeance isn't limited to the destruction of Jerusalem anymore, it's on the whole world/Babylon for rejecting Him. Hence because we're in TIMES, we don't read that as "in Judea." We read it as "in the world/Babylon" Flee to the mountains (Father Jesus in heaven). Of course we're still literally in the world, but spiritually... "In the world, not of it." Faith can move mountains. NOTICE THE WORDS I PUT IN CAPS. SUPER IMPORTANT. JOHN 14 ➡️ “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way (Son) the truth (Spirit) and the life (Father). No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?.... And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. JOHN 16 ➡️ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My name AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord (Yahweh/Father) “And My servant (Son/Christ) whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He (SAVED BY JESUS THROUGH THE CHRIST: ONE GOD AND SAVIOUR). Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. ISAIAH 43:10-11 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He (YAHWEH: ONE GOD, FATHER AND SAVIOUR) you will die in your sins.” JOHN 8:23-24 I am Yahweh, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. ISAIAH 45:5 🧔👴🕊️⬅️ God is NOT mocked. The pagan Trinity is the false/replacement/anti Christ. Rejecting Jesus by splitting the Son from the Father and saying "IS NOT", you're now worshiping a man who has been elevated up to God status in your temples. When you do that you deny that Jesus is the Christ and that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. We aren't still waiting for the "falling away." That was written 2000 years ago. We're in TIMES, not TIME. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son/flesh of the living God (Father: One God, the Father/I AM). 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. MATTHEW 16:15-18 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ? (Son, hence Father) This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 JOHN 2:22-23 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 JOHN 4:1-3 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus (God, hence Father) Christ (Son, hence Father) as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (Son, hence Father) does not have God (Father). He who abides in the doctrine of Christ Son, hence Father) has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 6:7-11 The Father came in the flesh by sending His Son, born of a woman; hence, not mother of God. "you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The distinction is the humanity (root and descendent of David). God (the Father) is not of this world. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-4 "In the beginning was the plan of salvation through the Christ, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was with Jesus, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was Jesus. This one was in the beginning with Jesus. All things were made through Him (by Jesus through the Christ.) ..... the plan of salvation through the Christ was made flesh (Jesus Christ.... ("we shall call Him Jesus" "I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If someone comes in his own name ➡️🧔👴🕊️ him you will receive") and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 Do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ (Son, hence Father), the Son/flesh of God (one God, the Father), and that believing you may have life in His name. JOHN 20:27-31 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9:6 But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. ISAIAH 64:8 Globe Earth and Heliocentrism is false and pagan, too. As is Christmas. All pagan. When Jesus says "Jews who say they are Jews but are the synagogue of Satan." Jews in that context was surely in reference to true Israel (both Jews and gentiles in Christ). The religion of Christianity are those "Jews." There's eternal consequences for believing the word of man over the word of God.
Different powers of God are clearly revealed in the Old Testament ... still One God YHWH and the very same Yeshua revealed in human flesh. This video is well done.

One of the greatest parallels I’ve read in Scripture proving the three persons of the Trinity is as follows. John 12:36b-41 NASB [36] … These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid m Himself from them. [37] But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him. [38] This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "Lord, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?" [39] For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, [40] "He HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE hardened THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM." [41] These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him. The Greek Septuagint says it this way: Esaias 6:1, 8-10 LXX 1. And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was FULL OF HIS GLORY... 8. And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people, 9. Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; and ye shall see indeed, but ye shall not perceive. 10. For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them. One thing that needs to be understood is that at the time of this event and afterward, the common text that was universally in use was the Greek translation of the Old Testament known as the Septuagint. This is why John uses the word “glory” in v. 41 and not “train” as clearly expressed in the Hebrew (Isaiah 6:1). But what's even more intriguing is that John asserts that Isaiah saw Jesus. Now we have to ask the question, who did Isaiah see? Isaiah would have said Yahweh. But if you were to ask John, who did Isaiah see? John would say Jesus. What's even more interesting is that Paul also makes reference to this Isaiah passage; yet, he indicates that it was the Holy Spirit that Isaiah heard speaking to him. Acts 28:25b-27 NASB [25] … Paul had spoken one parting word, “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, [26] saying, 'Go TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, "You WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; [27] For the heart of this people has become dull, And with their ears they scarcely hear, And they have closed their eyes; Otherwise they might see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart and return, And I would heal them .”’ Now we have to ask the question again, who did Isaiah see? Isaiah would have said Yahweh. But if you were to ask John, who did Isaiah see? John would say Jesus. If we were to ask Paul, who was speaking to Isaiah, Paul would say it was the Holy Spirit. And there you have it, a perfect expression of the Triunity of God found in the writings of the inspired prophets and the apostles.
Playing devil's advocate here, I feel like it doesn't necessarily allude to Jesus until John says it does, and until Paul says it's the Holy Spirit. It could technically be argued that maybe new testament writers made an effort to make it seem LIKE that's what it refers to, but it's also not bulletproof as there have been cases of double prophecies in the bible. Like the prophecy given to Daniel of Alexander the Great and, was it Antiochus? I don't remember, and then towards the end alludes to something that hasn't happened yet but will happen further in the future. So yeah, like that
@@nox567 True, but there’s generally 2 arguments against the trinity: 1. The 1st argument is generally made by Jews: the old testament does not explicitly mention the trinity, therefore new testament writers made up the doctrine of the trinity. 2. The 2nd argument is generally made by Muslims: Jesus and the new testament writers did not explicitly mention the trinity, therefore early church fathers made up the doctrine of the trinity at the council of Nicea. I think the comment above would argue against the second argument, which is made by muslims. But it wouldn’t argue against the Jewish view.
@@MarvelousSquad the Jewish view of the concept is not at all foreign to them. Yeshua/Jesus is what most of them by their traditions would refer to as the Memra/Word of God that serves as a mediator between God and Man and is even worthy of praise. In the Targum, everytime God interacts with humans, God is replaced with Memra to reconcile the fact that God said he cannot be seen, for example Jacob made a statement, "...the Memra of God will be my God." And the idea of that essence of God taking flesh, like a Shekhinah is also not foreign. People forget that God can sit enthroned in heaven in glory, fill the whole universe with his spirit, and fill up the whole tabernacle or temple with his power so that no human will even be capable of entering, while also being able to visit Abraham in human form all simultaneously. I think people just assume that the whole concept somehow depletes from God, which we know isn't true. So the idea isn't at all foreign to them if their being honest, and even in the old testament especially in the psalms the word of God is described as a concrete entity worthy of praise and obedience, there's nothing idolatrous about the concept at all if you have the right understanding of it
@@MarvelousSquadin respect to the Jews, they actively suppress certain scriptures such as Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, etc that reference the Messiah coming in the form of a suffering servant. It took until 1054 for Isaiah 53 to be attributed to the nation of Israel, and not the Christ, for example. Muslims do not understand the Trinity and do not want to. They view Allah as the one God who exists as a physical being. The Spirit of Allah is Gabriel, and the word of Allah became the Quran. Which is ironic, because they say God cant become a man, but He can become a book.
That's not the point. IP was illustrating early Jewish accounts of some proto-theories of God being multi-personal, he was not saying that they were holding to our conception of the Trinity. In fact IP admits that Philo was more of an Arianist
@@berwynsigns4115 I know. It's a brilliant video. He was still making a mistake. We all agree in hindsight this was modalism, but it showed they were on the right track. Modalism is a step closer.
@@truekingsknight897 not necessarily as the Lord clearly says "let us make man in our own image and in our own likeness." The Hebrew word Elohim literally means "gods" or "mighty ones." There has always been a plurality in the description of God, always.
@@lucasmaagi john 17:3 is very trinitarian because both figures give eternal life and john 17:5 says And now, Father, glorify me in your presence with the glory I had with you before the world began. which means he pre existed his birth james 2:19 says that there is only 1 God it isn´t saying there are 3 gods and a person who would think that james 2:19 is a refutation to the trinity is the same person who thinks there is 3 gods 1 corinthians 8:6 isn´t a refutation to the trinity because it says that we cannot live without both Ephesians 4:6 isn´t even a refutation at all and did you even read the verse because it says that there is only one lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and we trinitarians hold to the belief in 1 God
"Let us make man in our own image." I always believed that this verse from Genesis is the first manifestation of the Trinity in the Old Testament. Some heretical groups claimed that God is talking to the angels in this verse but angels cannot participate in the creation because they themselves are created.
Angels may create if they exist. I don't see a problem with that. But John chapter 1 says "All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made" if I recall correctly-- so a Christian can say that this is a Trinity. I don't know that it's wrong for God to say "let us..." in reference to angels, but Genesis says that man was made in the image and likeness of God, not of God and angels (Gen 1:27). So it seems a bit of a stretch to say he is speaking of himself and the angels.
“Some heretical groups”....? You mean modern Trinitarian critical scholarship and some of the most universally respected and used Trinitarian commentaries....please do not just speak out of emotion without really questioning how you know your “facts”.... (Go see the footnote in the NET Bible for example, a bible translation dedicated to footnotes and commentary and endorsed and helped created by Daniel Wallace)
Saying that God "manifests himself in three ways" is not the same as saying there are three persons (self aware beings) who are each God. The latter is trinitarianism. The former is a type of simultaneous modalism
I think this guy who is speaking in this video believed that Jesus is Michael the archangel,which is not true! I believe in the Triune concept of God but i dont believe that Jesus is the same person as Michael!
This reminds me of Lapid Judaism. They believe strictly in one God who can interact with the physical world in various ways based on Jewish texts, not in three persons who unite into one loosely connected "person."
There will be time, times, and half a time, and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things will be finished." Daniel 12:7 We're in Times, not Time. This ➡️ 🧔👴🕊️abomination of desolation standing in the holy place leads to this ➡️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 desolating abomination at the end of the world (2 THESS 2:3-13) Matthew 24:15 ("let the reader understand.") Vengeance isn't limited to the destruction of Jerusalem anymore, it's on the whole world/Babylon for rejecting Him. Hence because we're in TIMES, we don't read that as "in Judea." We read it as "in the world/Babylon" Flee to the mountains (Father Jesus in heaven). Of course we're still literally in the world, but spiritually... "In the world, not of it." Faith can move mountains. NOTICE THE WORDS I PUT IN CAPS. SUPER IMPORTANT. JOHN 14 ➡️ “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way (Son) the truth (Spirit) and the life (Father). No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?.... And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. JOHN 16 ➡️ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My name AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord (Yahweh/Father) “And My servant (Son/Christ) whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He (SAVED BY JESUS THROUGH THE CHRIST: ONE GOD AND SAVIOUR). Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. ISAIAH 43:10-11 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He (YAHWEH: ONE GOD, FATHER AND SAVIOUR) you will die in your sins.” JOHN 8:23-24 I am Yahweh, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. ISAIAH 45:5 🧔👴🕊️⬅️ God is NOT mocked. The pagan Trinity is the false/replacement/anti Christ. Rejecting Jesus by splitting the Son from the Father and saying "IS NOT", you're now worshiping a man who has been elevated up to God status in your temples. When you do that you deny that Jesus is the Christ and that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. We aren't still waiting for the "falling away." That was written 2000 years ago. We're in TIMES, not TIME. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son/flesh of the living God (Father: One God, the Father/I AM). 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. MATTHEW 16:15-18 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ? (Son, hence Father) This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 JOHN 2:22-23 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 JOHN 4:1-3 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus (God, hence Father) Christ (Son, hence Father) as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (Son, hence Father) does not have God (Father). He who abides in the doctrine of Christ Son, hence Father) has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 6:7-11 The Father came in the flesh by sending His Son, born of a woman; hence, not mother of God. "you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The distinction is the humanity (root and descendent of David). God (the Father) is not of this world. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-4 "In the beginning was the plan of salvation through the Christ, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was with Jesus, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was Jesus. This one was in the beginning with Jesus. All things were made through Him (by Jesus through the Christ.) ..... the plan of salvation through the Christ was made flesh (Jesus Christ.... ("we shall call Him Jesus" "I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If someone comes in his own name ➡️🧔👴🕊️ him you will receive") and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 Do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ (Son, hence Father), the Son/flesh of God (one God, the Father), and that believing you may have life in His name. JOHN 20:27-31 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9:6 But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. ISAIAH 64:8 Globe Earth and Heliocentrism is false and pagan, too. As is Christmas. All pagan. When Jesus says "Jews who say they are Jews but are the synagogue of Satan." Jews in that context was surely in reference to true Israel (both Jews and gentiles in Christ). The religion of Christianity are those "Jews." There's eternal consequences for believing the word of man over the word of God.
Is it not correct that a Jew would say no one can see God and live? ; and equally true that Jacob wrestled with God? That would seem to me to be a direct contradiction, how would they resolve it? In fact many people in the old testament seem to have seen God, walked with Him, had a meal, what do Jewish believers do with these events in reconciliation with the fact that none have seen God? As a Christian it is quite obviously Yeshua they are interacting with and God the Father that no man but Christ has seen, so there is nothing to resolve, but I would be curious to know how they get around it.
Some Christians claim that the Bible teaches that God cannot be seen by mortals, and so claims to have seen God the Father or Jesus Christ must be false. However, numerous Biblical verses attest that God has been seen by select humans. John 1:18, which the critics use to argue otherwise, has been interpreted differently by early Christians to avoid the self-contradiction which the critics' reading creates for the Bible. If God can say "I change not," (Malachi 3:6) and he has appeared to mortals in the past, as the Bible bears record, why would he change his tactics and refuse to appear to modern prophets? The most commonly used Biblical citation invoked by the critics is probably John 1:18, which reads “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.” Early Christian author Irenaeus wrote in A.D. 180 that this scripture should be read “For "no man," he says, "hath seen God at any time," unless "the only-begotten Son of God, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared [Him]." Furthermore, by adopting this approach, Irenaeus' interpretation of John 1:18 harmonized with the rest of the Bible and the qualifications which the Bible provides for those who may see God. The requirements are: Must be "of God" “Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.” (John 6:46.) Some critics will argue that only Jesus "is of God", but that position is unscriptural. Moses too was "of God"(Deuteronomy 33:1), as well as Samuel (1 Samuel 9:10), Shemaiah (1 Kings 12:22), and Elijah (1 Kings 17:24). Must have "peace and holiness" within you "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14.) Must be pure in heart "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8.) As the numerous Biblical references demonstrate, the idea of seeing God is hardly foreign to Hebrew or early Christian thought. There are also non-scriptural examples: Philo the Jew taught that the name Israel was compounded of 3 words “ish” “rah” “El”, which means “man seeing God;” this view is also found in the apocryphal Prayer of Joseph. And, an early Christian document called the Clementine Homilies portrays the apostle Peter as agreeing with Irenaeus' view: “For I maintain that the eyes of mortals cannot see the incorporeal form of the Father or Son, because it is illumined by exceeding great light. . . . For he who sees God cannot live. For the excess of light dissolves the flesh of him who sees; unless by the secret power of God the flesh be changed into the nature of light, so that it can see light.”
Johanis Ardnt exactly. 10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, Deut 34:10 2. And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence. 11. But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him. Moses 1:2,11
@@UVJ_Scott A couple of quick side points James….you’re referencing God or seem to be as though God was a name for the Father. In fact Yashua is God….I am confident you will agree…So to reference the Father as though His name is God is confusing. I know a lot of people do so……but in fact God like man is a reference to a being, a nature… Secondly the scriptural reference you are pointing to with the claim that to see the Father is a matter of being of the Father is a bit ambiguous, as it could legitimately be said it refers Yashua alone…or to all who have received the adoption as you suggest….or it may also be that those who have not to this point but will see the Father are being referenced…. I do concede there is a possibility of your usage but even so the question I asked was put to Jews who do not accept Yashua or His teachings…so this scripture, what Christians accept as scripture can not be used authoritatively in any sense. This is to point out that the current Jewish position is inconsistent and introduces contradictions; which if one holds the scripture to be the actual word of God should not be present.
Patrick, thanks for the important clarifications. I have noticed that some members of the Jewish faith are converting to Christianity due to dreams and other direct interventions by Yashua. Many of these conversions are posted on the “One for Israel” TH-cam channel.
This is a great summary with respect to the one true God including the mystery. As a Christian who believes the Trinity, I can say there is just as much value in reflecting that God is One, one Being, as in hearing about the Three. But I hear the unity so much less often in sermons.
There will be time, times, and half a time, and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things will be finished." Daniel 12:7 We're in Times, not Time. This ➡️ 🧔👴🕊️abomination of desolation standing in the holy place leads to this ➡️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 desolating abomination at the end of the world (2 THESS 2:3-13) Matthew 24:15 ("let the reader understand.") Vengeance isn't limited to the destruction of Jerusalem anymore, it's on the whole world/Babylon for rejecting Him. Hence because we're in TIMES, we don't read that as "in Judea." We read it as "in the world/Babylon" Flee to the mountains (Father Jesus in heaven). Of course we're still literally in the world, but spiritually... "In the world, not of it." Faith can move mountains. NOTICE THE WORDS I PUT IN CAPS. SUPER IMPORTANT. JOHN 14 ➡️ “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way (Son) the truth (Spirit) and the life (Father). No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?.... And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. JOHN 16 ➡️ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My name AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe? “You are My witnesses,” says the Lord (Yahweh/Father) “And My servant (Son/Christ) whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He (SAVED BY JESUS THROUGH THE CHRIST: ONE GOD AND SAVIOUR). Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. ISAIAH 43:10-11 And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He (YAHWEH: ONE GOD, FATHER AND SAVIOUR) you will die in your sins.” JOHN 8:23-24 I am Yahweh, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. ISAIAH 45:5 🧔👴🕊️⬅️ God is NOT mocked. The pagan Trinity is the false/replacement/anti Christ. Rejecting Jesus by splitting the Son from the Father and saying "IS NOT", you're now worshiping a man who has been elevated up to God status in your temples. When you do that you deny that Jesus is the Christ and that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. We aren't still waiting for the "falling away." That was written 2000 years ago. We're in TIMES, not TIME. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son/flesh of the living God (Father: One God, the Father/I AM). 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. MATTHEW 16:15-18 Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ? (Son, hence Father) This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 JOHN 2:22-23 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 JOHN 4:1-3 This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus (God, hence Father) Christ (Son, hence Father) as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (Son, hence Father) does not have God (Father). He who abides in the doctrine of Christ Son, hence Father) has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 6:7-11 The Father came in the flesh by sending His Son, born of a woman; hence, not mother of God. "you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The distinction is the humanity (root and descendent of David). God (the Father) is not of this world. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-4 "In the beginning was the plan of salvation through the Christ, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was with Jesus, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was Jesus. This one was in the beginning with Jesus. All things were made through Him (by Jesus through the Christ.) ..... the plan of salvation through the Christ was made flesh (Jesus Christ.... ("we shall call Him Jesus" "I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If someone comes in his own name ➡️🧔👴🕊️ him you will receive") and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6 Do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ (Son, hence Father), the Son/flesh of God (one God, the Father), and that believing you may have life in His name. JOHN 20:27-31 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. ISAIAH 9:6 But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. ISAIAH 64:8 Globe Earth and Heliocentrism is false and pagan, too. As is Christmas. All pagan. When Jesus says "Jews who say they are Jews but are the synagogue of Satan." Jews in that context was surely in reference to true Israel (both Jews and gentiles in Christ). The religion of Christianity are those "Jews." There's eternal consequences for believing the word of man over the word of God.
I really loved this :) People with logical sense can easily recognise that the holy trinity is the true god.. But Yet the Holy trinity cannot be fully explained or understandable by the human nature.. Because we have limits.. And cannot go beyond that.. GLORY TO THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR EVER AND EVER !!
I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense. How can you, in one sentence, say that anyone with logical sense can see that the trinity is the true God, and then in the next sentence say that humans can't comprehend the trinity? It's either easily understood or it's impossible to understand. It can't be both at the same time.
Michael Brown Its the same concept with how we can recognize a 4D universe, yet not understand it for what it is. Just like how we’re one being, yet we can understand the concept of being 3 persons yet ONE being, without experiencing it for what it is.
@@mrb532 Do you comprehend how God is eternal and immaterial? No. But you still know that He is. Reducing God just so we can understand Him is disrespecting Him. Apply your standards to yourself first before criticizing others.
I used to be a Trinitarian in one of the world’s largest religious denominations for 53 years and taught and raised my own family the same for 18 years. I continued in this teaching right up until the day God had mercy on me and sent me the Holy Spirit who led me into all the truth (John 16:13). What does the Spirit have to say about this? If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, listen: “At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for HIDING THESE THINGS FROM THOSE WHO THINK THEMSELVES WISE AND CLEVER, and for REVEALING THEM TO THE CHILDLIKE. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.” (Luke 10:21) “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will NEVER ENTER the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 18:3) Now, remember that show, “Are you smarter than a 5th grader”? Are you willing to be humble and be like a child? Take the test yourself and find out. The topic is based on the doctrine of the Trinity. This doctrine declares the Godhead is triune being comprised of Father, Son and Holy Spirit who are “co-equal” with each other and “are all God”. Without being a bible scholar or having to twist scripture, this is really quite simple. Ready to test yourself? Elementary 5th grade reading and basic 2nd grade math show us the truth of this matter; hence being like a child just like our Lord said: Open your Bible, go to the gospel of John and read the following verses for yourself: John 1:1-3. Now do the basic math. How many God beings do you count? 2 or 3? Having established that both the Father and the Son are God from what you just read, now read the following verses: John 5:17, 5:19, 5:20, 5:21, 5:22, 5:23, 5:26, 5:30, 5:36, 8:28, 12:50, 10:30, 14:6, 14:23, 14:28, 15:10, 17:3, 17:5, Rom. 1:1, Rom. 1:27, 1 Cor. 1:3, 1 Cor. 1:9, 1 Cor. 8:6-7, 1 Cor. 15:27-28, 2 Cor. 1:2-3, Eph. 1:2, 5:20, Philip. 1:2, Col. 1:3, 1 Thess. 1:3, 2 Thess. 1:2, Phil. 1:3, Heb. 1:8-13, 1 Peter 1:3, 2 Peter 1:2, 1 John 1:3, 1: John 5:20, 2 John 1:3, 2 John 1:9, Rev. 3:12, 7:10, 21:22-23. Now do the basic math. How many God beings do you count? 2 or 3? Now, ask honestly ask yourself, where in this world does 1 + 1 =3? The Spirit can keep going on with many more verses just like this. If you have the humility to be honest with yourself and what you just read, you will see the plain truth and the trinity doctrine is debunked. If the Holy Spirit was in fact God, why was he left out of all those verses? What happened to being co-equal? Little children truly believe in Santa Claus in all sincerity up until the day they discover the ugly truth of the matter, right? This isn’t any different. Why anyone would continue to believe in a lie after the truth has been revealed with the preponderance of overwhelming evidence? Ripping the band aid off hurts, doesn’t it? But, “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32). So now that you have read and seen the truth for yourself, do you still believe in the false trinity doctrine or did you fail the 5th grade test? If you failed it and still believe in the doctrines of men and not God, go to your Bible and read John 8:47. That is the harsh reality friend. Another biblical fact: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Holy Spirit is God. Nowhere! Christ also said, “the Father is greater than I” (John 14:28). Clearly, Christ by his very statement of fact said they are NOT co-equal! This totally scotches the doctrine of the trinity that claims the Father, Son and Spirit are co-equal. Who on earth would dare call Christ a liar? It’s sheer foolishness! How can anyone believe in the false doctrine of the trinity after reading the gospel of John? The gospel of John and other books of the Bible clearly testify that the doctrine of the triune god is a lie (John 1:1-3). The word “trinity” isn’t even written anywhere in the Bible, why would anyone believe it? The world foolishly says about the Spirit of God that he is “God the Spirit”. Christ tells us that “God IS spirit” (John 4:24). Do you see how foolish this is already? Why does God need a Spirit if he already IS spirit? It is the Spirit of God. The word “OF” being paramount as the Spirit belongs to God and Christ; the word “OF” denotes possession/ownership. They own it and they sent it (John 16:15) Don’t know who the Holy Spirit is? Simple, read John 1:51 and Hebrews 1:7, 1:14, and Psalm 104:4. There is our Helper in plain sight yet most are so blinded by the years of false teaching and lies they can’t see the truth. Angel of the Lord, Angel of God, Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit = Holy Spirit. Read Hebrews 1:7 and Psalm 104:4. Now go to the Book of Acts and read Acts 2:1-4 (The Coming of the Holy Spirit). This isn’t hard to figure out. Still can’t see? Paul cautioned us about false humility and the worship of angles (Col. 2:18). The Holy Spirit warned John twice in the Book of Revelation that he should not be worshiped (Rev. 19:10, 22:8-9). Let’s really simplify this: If a fallen angel is a demon/evil spirit that belongs to Satan (Rev. 12:7), then an angel of God can only be what? A Holy Spirit because he belongs to God who is holy (Lev. 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16). Think about it, if the Holy Spirit was a single 3rd person of the Godhead, how is it even possible we can we all have him? See how foolish this is already? Do I get the Holy Spirit today and borrow him to you tomorrow? Can you see how foolish this world’s wisdom is. The answer is found again in Matthew 18:10 for it is written: “Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven THEIR ANGELS are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.” (Matt. 18:10). The words “their angels” (Holy Spirit) shows ownership. The Holy Spirit for each one of us was not sent until Christ came into his glory (John 7:39). Let the Bible explain itself, it's quite simple and straightforward. The teaching is very simple without having to twist scripture and believe in something that just isn't there like the word “trinity”. Biblical truth is solely based on the word of God (John 17:17) It’s time to unlearn one of the greatest lies of so called “modern Christianity”. Believe in what Christ said and taught. Believe in what is actually and clearly written in the word of God and not in the invented mythology or eisegesis of men. Get this, if you are worshiping the pagan invented god known as the “trinity”, you will never, ever receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:32) as you are breaking the 1st Commandment, a spiritual law of God’s coming kingdom (Rom. 7:14, Rev. 11:19) by creating your own god made up in the mythology and eisegesis of men. “that their hearts may be encouraged, being KNIT together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, BOTH of the FATHER AND OF CHRIST, IN WHOM are hidden ALL the treasures of WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE.” (Col. 2:2-3 NKJV). Whom has ALL the treasures of wisdom and knowledge as you just read? The Father and Christ. Again, how many God beings do you count? 2 or 3? Lay down your pride and what you think you know about God and the Bible and unlearn the lies. Repent and let God through the Holy Spirit teach you. Unless you become like a child, you will never enter the Kingdom of God. Forget what you think you know as the Lord has sent me to reveal the simplicity of his teaching in spirit and truth. Finally, let’s read Proverbs 30:4 together: “Who has ascended into heaven, or descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has bound the waters in a garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is HIS NAME, and what is HIS SON’S NAME, If you know? One more time, how many God beings do you count? 2 or 3? Still don’t believe it? Let’s continue reading the rest of it: “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. DO NOT ADD TO HIS WORD, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.” (Prov. 30:5-6) FACT: The word “trinity” isn’t found anywhere in the Bible as it is “added” to His word. So now ask yourself, who is the liar? If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart! Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
@@agadirand4four347 and yet pre-christian texts exist concerning the debate about the Angel of the Lord being also the Lord. And the New Testament makes it one of the most obvious doctrines possible outside of the resurrection of Jesus that Jesus was God. And yep, Jesus was God born of a woman, defecated, needed food, bled, and all. Not that weird since the OT has people seeing God standing in front of them as a man pretty regularly.
It's like water. Water, ice and steam are all still water. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all still God. Much love brothers and sisters Jesus Christ is King
careful... those are modes. the son is not a mode of the father. the son is distinct from the father. they are both co-existing, its not the son morphs to the father and the father then morphs to the son, assuming different modes of being. that is what water ice steam does. its modalism. trinity is not modalism. in the trinity, all 3 are their own persons and all 3 exists at the same time and are not just one mode of the other!
Love this Channel. Smart guy. There are passages in Genesis where one sentence states God and the next sentence says Angel referring to the same identity. Your research is awesome.
If you read closely to the verses above , it shows two people speaking Both is called YHWH, One is called YHWH the KING , the other One is called YHWH of Host. Now many people try to lie and say it's God and Israel but Israel was never called YHWH. Both of them say I Am the First and the Last , beside ME THERE IS NO GOD. We know that The Father is called The First and the Last, yet Jesus in the book of Revelation called Himself the First and the Last, with the Gospel of John 1:1 and the coming of Christ now part of the Mystery of God is solved. God is indeed a Trinity , Father , Son, Holy Spirit, make up the One God who is YHWH.
The Trinity is a concept that’s SO bound with emotion and guilt in its normal way of being taught, so if it is fake, be gentle with the people who are smart and loving bible reading Christians who believe it. They are taught it from day one and taught that to deny it is to give Jesus, his death, God, and his message a horrifying slap in the face. They are taught to love that idea and the idea of Jesus literally being God to the bottom of their heart or they are basically fearfully spitting in Jesus face and believe they have their soul dangling above hell fire. It is a fearful-emotional attachment and so you can have the smartest most loving people believe it even if the obvious truth is that it is nowhere in scripture and that scripture obviously teaches something different. If anyone wants to hear the case for one God alone in the Bible see "Biblical Unitarians"
HydR4 Dark Watching now. But the Trinity and biblical exegesis over this topic was my main field of study. I used to believe Jesus was God and in the Trinity and was raised that way. Unfortunately I haven’t studied the “powers in heaven” to be able to confidently speak about it. But when it comes to biblical evidence for or against, especially in the New Testament I’m pretty good for a layman. “Even though there are many Gods and many Lords(Kings/Rulers), to us (Christians) there is (but) one ☝️ God, *the Father* ....and (only) one ☝️ Lord (King/Ruler) Christ” “Why do you call me good? Only one alone is (truly) good (from within themselves), God” “By myself I could do *nothing*” “Father if possible please remove this cup from me, yet not my will be done, but yours (because my will is separate and can be contradictory to your purposes though I force myself to be aligned with yours)” “And *this* is what eternal life is, to know you (Father) the *only true God* AND to know Jesus Christ, the one *you* sent” 1 Corinthians 15:20-28 Galatians 3:20 Let me stop here
@@youngknowledgeseeker 1. Jesus calls Himself the good Shepherd 2. Jesus had a human soul and body with which he United His divine essence 3."As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him." You got one thing right... Jesus and the Father are separate, they aren't one person. They are one in essence.
@Slavaisusukhrystu He's certainly the good shepherd. But a shepherd working for God, not one who is God. Your third point explains itself. God loved and trusted Jesus so much that he gave him authority over all flesh (over humanity, over his fellow humans), even the power to raise the dead on his behalf. Its quite incredible. Edit: I don't know why but it seems my reply below was deleted? Well, for anyone who may be reading (including you onlyafool), to summarize - I encourage people to read up on John 1:18 and how it happens to be one of the passages that has significant and well attested to variant readings in the New Testament (unfortunately). I would encourage people to starting off their theological understanding with the most simple, straightforward, clear, and variant free texts first. - I point out that even if Jesus is called God in the original reading it's still not an open and shut case that the author intended him to be recognized as the "true" God. ("God" is actually a title also shared by certain human beings in the Bible).
Sorry but John is inspired: john 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. Your degree is pretty bad, John is referencing here jewish traditions / greek metaphisics about the word of God,
The Old Testament is very clear about the Trinity. It involves 2 men an the Holy Spirit. They are first mention in Genesis 1:18. On the forth day he made two great lights one to rule the day and one to rule the night. This is the the two kings of Avalon. The 10 commandments are written on Two stones for a reason. The Hebrews were lead by a pillar of smoke by day and fire by night. There are 2 pillars in front of Solomon's Temple Boaz and Jachin. Boaz means the redeemer and Jachin means the one who prepares the way without fail. I could write all day about the 2 Kings of Avalon. It is so obvious that people miss it.
I am Christian but in all honesty I am starting to lean towards Islam. Okay, the New Testament teached the God exists in 3 personages. Okay, the Torah and prophets and works of Kabbalah teach that God exists in different eminations, yet the emanations are distinct from each other... but does that make it true? Just because a person or a text teaches something does not make it true. The Islamic doctrine on God's Unity of Lordship seems much more rational, and is beginning to render me into thinking "Okay, the Torah, OT prophets, and New Testament declare that God exists in the powers and personages. But I could just simply claim these works are works of heresy."
funny enough this concerned something that was in my first question ever commenting on your videos, it was the Trinity in the old testament video and I asked about the metatron. wow that was a while ago. Either way great video IP.
I see the Trinity all over the OT When God SAID let there be light. His Word created. That corresponds to the NT where it says, All things were made by him( the Word) And in Zechariah God says “they shall look upon ME whom they pierced. “
Zechariah 6:12 is not a messianic prophecy. The “Branch” being talked about is Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest Zechariah was taking a crown to.
Nonsense. It's both/and. Prophetic language in the Bible often speaks to two (or more) realities: the prophetic foreshadow (which Zech6's temple ceremony would function as) and its principle fulfillment. Example: "out of Egypt have I called my son" is descriptive of Israel's Exodus, and baby Jesus' move from Egypt to Nazareth (per Matt2). It has also been interpreted symbolically to apply the believers' conversion.
Got to say, you do some amazing research. Even though I sometimes like to add in my two cents to your videos, you're filling in a lot of blanks in my knowledge.
Anyone who reads the Old Testament carefully knows that God is presented as both singular and plural, and that the number of His plurality is three. The Shema itself is simply the name of God repeated three times followed by the number one: שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶחָֽד ׃ Hear, O Israel: The LORD, our God, the LORD: One.
Yes, it can also be taken to mean unique or "the only one" and that is the meaning in Zech 14:9. However, in Deut 6:4, the fact that the name of God is repeated three times followed by the number one is significant and thus points to uniplurality, i.e., that the three are One LORD (Yahweh Echad) just as the two (husband and wife) are One Flesh (Basar Echad) in Gen 2:24.
The difficulty in interpreting Deut 6:4 is that it is a verbless clause (a string of nouns or words that act like nouns, but no verb 'governing' how they interrelate) the last word of which אֶחָֽד (echad) can be used in many different ways. The fact that the reader was to hear this verse שָׁמַע (shama) marks it as a very profound and multifaceted statement as when the Lord Jesus used it in the NT "“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” (e.g., Mark 4:23, etc.).
Hear, O Israel: The LORD (YHWH-Father), our God (ELOHIM-EL/God + OHIM/Plural), the LORD (YHWH-Father): One (ECHAD-unity). YHWH, our ELOHIM, YHWH: ECHAD. FATHER, our God, Father: unity. There is Trinity.
Older video but it deserves to be bookmarked. Lot of condensed info that may come in handy. It seems that objections to the Trinity are as continuous today as the day the word trinity was first used.
Even to confirm the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah it says the Lord which was on ground called to the Lord in heaven to rain fire. Two right there. How about when the Lord on the cloud revealed the Lords Name to Moses in Exodus. The Lord announced it as if it was another person. Then the Lord told Moses that despite all he sees to tell the people that God is One. Even I Am that I Am is revealing, He says it twice, same but twice.
8:18 "Holy Spirit is a defence council according to the Leviticus Rabba". This is exactly what the Apostle Paul and the New Testament are teaching. "I will send you a councillor..." The Greek word used here for councillor is "paraclitos" which is a legal term which means a councillor in a court of law, a defence lawyer.
There is no "Trinity" in the Hebrew Scriptures. This is why: But this is what Our G-d says about himself: Exodus 20:23 “I am the Lord your G-d, who brought you out of Egypt, and the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (See also Deuteronomy 5:7) Numbers 23:19 “God is not a man that He should lie, nor a mortal that He should change His mind.” Deuteronomy 4:11-12 “You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness. Then the Lord spoke to you out of fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no image, there was only a voice.” Deuteronomy 4:35 “You are the ones who have been shown, so that you will know that G-d is the Supreme Being and there is none other besides him.” Deuteronomy 4:39 “Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is G-d in heaven above and on earth below; there is no other!” Deuteronomy 6:4 “Hear O Israel! The Lord is our G-d, the Lord is one!” (Not three) Deuteronomy 6:14 “You shall not follow other G-ds, any of the gods of the people´s who surround you!” Deuteronomy 32:39 “See now that I, I am He - and no god is with me…” (So how can there be a "Trinity" or Jesus as G-d the son?) 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee; neither is there any Rock like our G-d.” (No god beside G-d, therefore no "Trinity") 1 Samuel 15:29 “The Eternal One of Israel will not lie or change His mind nor change His mind: for he is not a man that he should change His mind.” (So how could Jesus be man and god at the same time on earth?) 1 Kings 8:27 “For will G-d dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?” (Therefore, Jesus cannot be G-D in the flesh) 1 Kings 8:60 “So that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord is G-d and there is no other!” (Only Him) 2 Kings 19:19 “Now O Lord our G-d, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord are G-d?” Isaiah 40:18 “To whom will you liken G-d? Or what likeness will you compare unto Him?” Isaiah 40:25 “To whom will then you liken me, that I should be his equal?” (Can you answer that question? Is Jesus equal to G-d?) Isaiah 42:8 “I am the Lord, that is My name, and My glory will I not give to another. Neither My praise to graven images.” (To worship a Jewish man is one thing, but to proclaim him as god is dangerous. Our G-d does not share his glory, period.) Isaiah 43:10-11 “You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides me there is no Saviour.” (Our G-d tells us that after him, there is no Jesus, no Trinity, nothing… zilch, nada, nil!) Isaiah 44:6-8 This is what the Lord says, Israel´s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty, “I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God! Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before Me… Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God beside me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Our G-d does not recognise a “Trinity”, Period!) Isaiah 44:24 So said the Lord, your Redeemer, the one who formed you from the womb. “I am the Lord who makes everything, who stretched forth the heavens alone, Who spread out the earth by myself.” Isaiah 45:5-6 “I am the Lord and there is no other; besides me there is no god… I will strengthen you… in order that they know from the shining of the sun and from the west that there is no-one besides me; I am the Lord and there is no other!” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.) Isaiah 45:18-19 For this is what the Lord says - He Who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited - He says, “I am the Lord and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob´s descendants, “Seek me in vain.” I the Lord speak the truth; I declare what is right.” Isaiah 46:5 “To whom shall you liken me and make me equal and compare Me that we be alike?” (You dare compare G-d with a Jewish man named Jesus?) Isaiah 46:9 “Remember the first things of old, that I am G-d and there is no other, I am G-d and there is none like me.” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.) Isaiah 48:11 “… and My honour I will not give to another.” (Our G-d does not share His glory... period) Isaiah 48:12 “Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, My called: I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last.” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.) Hosea 13:4 “And I am the Lord your G-d, Who brought you out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no G-d but me, no Saviour except me!” (Jesus is not our saviour... period). Joel 2:27 “And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and I am the Lord your G-d, there is no other; and My people shall never be ashamed.” (We only worship the One True G-d, not this “Trinity thing,” and we are not ashamed to say it) Psalm 81:8-9 “Hear O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel if you would listen to me! Let there be no strange G-d among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god.” (This “Trinity” that you preach of, is a strange and foreign god, we know not the trinity) Psalm 146:3 “Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” (Jesus was called the “Prince” of peace & “The Son of man... in whom we have no salvation) Nehemiah 9:6 “You alone are the Lord; You made the heavens and the heaven of heavens and all their host, the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all, and the heavenly host bow down before you.” 1 Chronicles 17:20 “O Lord, there is none like You, neither is there any G-d beside you, according to all that we heard with our ears!” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.) As a footnote: The purpose of the Christian is to bring as many people to Jesus. The purpose of the Muslim is to bring as many people to Islam. But Christianity and Islam have expiry dates and will pass away. Then the Real mesaiah will arrive and this will happen: Zechariah 8:23 “Thus saith the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days it shall come to pass that ten men out of all the languages of the nations shall take hold, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, “We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’ I hope this helps your confusion. With kind regards and respect. Shalom.
Wow , I love how you conveniently left out Zachariah 12:10, read the chapter and tell me who has been stabbed ? Why is god speaking in first person , can we stab god ? Why are the people crying over a first born ? ... It's almost like we stabbed god and hurt his hands, I wonder who that guy is ...
The aspects of God are often mentioned in the larger books of the Prophets, & even briefly in the minor prophets. Although there is often disagreement as to what they were saying between Christians & Jews, I fully agree that to say such things are not there, is to bury ones head in the sand. I have listened to Rabbi on this, & most of them will at least approach the subject, but few will give as much ground as was presented here. One of the hardest lessons to learn is to be humble before your God. To hear what is said, not what you *want* him to say. Great as always! God Bless
This guy is a bit awe-inspiring. I could find myself becoming despondent as in : "Jeez, I had no idea how clueless I was until I listened to some of his videos." I could, but then I just remind myself of the 1st part of the title of his channel. Inspiration does include many things, even some that may not have been exactly what he intended when he chose the title. My takeaway from the guy's overall work is to be inspired by his methodology so that by adopting effective techniques, I will be better equipped to defend Faith in Christ, the Faith passed down to us through the men sent by Christ Himself into the world. The odds of me ever becoming as qualified as this guy are pretty slim. The good news is that by listening closely, anyone of us can benefit from his work and improve our own ability to defend our Faith. Go Inspiring Philosophy! Slayer of poor apologetics!
@@InspiringPhilosophy you're just another fool who can't add and refuses to see how stupid your conclusion is. If you want the confusion the trinity brings then that's up to you. I used to believe the trinity but it reached the point that it made no sense.

In Genesis, Abraham, Isaac and Eliezer are a Trinity type and shadow. Rebekah is a Christ- bride type and shadow. The connections between these people and the identity of the Trinity is so numerous. To be a Christian today, your desire is to be with Jesus and to feel that fullness of joy that would come from being with Him just breathing in joy and breathing out gratitude. But today what we have is our Helper, the Holy Spirit, who is like Eliezer, whose name means "God is Help".. Just as Eliezer chose Rebekah, the Holy Spirit is about all the earth searching our hearts and choosing the chosen. And just as Eliezer brought Rebekah to Isaac, the Holy Spirit will transform us and bring us to be with Christ forever. There is so much more to this shadow.
Jacob Neusner and other jews cited were not Orthodox but reform who do not believe Torah is holy from G-d but a book written by man.He was somewhat of an apostate. Never went to Yeshiva...
Christians don't understand all that though. The new testament leads with a lot of with abstract, pliable statements that give ample room for the belief that other texts like Torah can be twisted in the same way or reinterpreted into oblivion for the sake of a novel doctrine. Pointing it out doesn't help; I've tried and taught the class (literally). People will believe what they want, especially outside of legitimate Judaism.
Inspiring philosophy- how's everything going, I didn't know you were down wit Dr Michael Brown or his work, his Jewish objections to Jesus are well done as well as his 32 video series of many objections on his channel and many debates over the years he has done, well done video from you and a last thing is have you ever been in any formal debates video or audio on any topics?
Know that in the Talmud, although they do make an inquiry regarding why it is phrased "Come to YHWH" - and a possible explanation is offered (that maybe it's Metatron), in the end however, the matter is settled and they decide: "This is just how scripture says things." Basically they make the concession that scripture is written awkward at times. But we do have a very good case - because this shows that although in the end they decided to ignore the evidence they did acknowledge that the text suggests the presence of another being standing on behalf of God.
Fantastic video. Very enlightening. I always wondered how the Jews preceding Christianity did not understand the multifaceted nature of God in verses Like Isaiah 63:8-10, but it appears they did. Thanks for the clarification.
Reminds me of a familiar passage from Daniel 7: The Ancient of Days Reigns 9 “As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire. 10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened. 11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. The Son of Man Is Given Dominion 13 “I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. 14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. Two descriptions of YHWH as the "Ancient of Days" and "Son of Man Given Dominion and Glory, Kingdom and Worship", adds more evidence that indeed God/YHWH is multi-personal.
Psalm 51 :11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. Isaiah 63:10-11 But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
Your videos are thought provoking, and I thank you. These important attestations call into question the "equality" of these Three Beings. While I am comfortable with the reasoned statements of Jewish Scholars on the interpretations they offer, it does seem like a jump to conclude that these Three Beings are all equal.
These three Hypostases (not beings; God is one Being, not three beings; the hypostases or Persons are three) are equal because they share the same divine essence. Tell me, please, how can the same divine essence be "not equal"?
Hi 3wL7. I sincerely appreciate all remarks on this matter. Before I reply ... I started listening again, and I'm astonished how weak the video is. The narrator sets out to prove a Triune being, and opens up with a jewsih scholar speaking of 10 and 100 personalities, or whatever. How can you possibly prove "Three" with citations of 10 and 100? I think neither you nir the producer would be comfortable with a church teaching 100 Persons in The Supreme Being. Yet, this is cited as evidence of the Three. Back to your point, the burden of proof is on those, who add to the scripture. I see no Bible chapter nor verse in your post-up. And this is common in the defense of the Trinity. Please quote any verse you want. I will say "Amein" and "HalleluYah". We get in trouble with follow-on reasoning and interpretation. To answer your question about equality among them ... see John 14:28b: " ... my Father is greater than I."
@@@choicemeatrandy6572 I am reasonably acquainted with that period in Israelite history. No matter what fact I toss up, I am afraid I will fall short of answering in a way to uphold my end of the conversation. Feel free to tell me what you have in mind. It's OK to challenge me and to disagree with me. Kind shalom always.
@@marbanak Christians believe that there are 3 Persons identified as possessing the Being of God. The reason I brought up Solomon's temple in regards to your post was to contrast the "greater than I" comment Jesus made. God's presence dwelled in the temple as well as the tabernacle yet God still says He doesnt live in houses made by human hands and yet one wouldn't say that same Presence was any less a form of God...in other words God's Presence is God's Presence whether it was in the tabernacle, temple or in Jesus. Yet the temple itself was destroyed by human hands but God's Presence wasnt in any way affected nor would you say it was lesser than God's Presence in heaven. The temple as a building isnt greater than God. Jesus actually likens His physical body to the temple in John 2:19-21...and after He had risen His disciples saw the connection and understood why it made sense for Him to be fully man and also fully God. Hope that answers your question.
The Alexandrian Jew, Philo, who wrote a generation earlier, 'John' distinguishes between "ho Theos" (ὁ θεὸς) meaning "the God" Who has no beginning and Who "no man has ever seen" [1:18] and "Theos" (θεὸς) meaning “god” whom "the God" brought forth in the beginning. [cf. Fug. 97; Sacr. AC.9; Som. 1:229-30; Leg. All., II, 86] For example, Philo teaches before 'John' was written, "Nothing mortal can be made in the likeness of the Most High One and ONLY Father of the Universe, but only in that of the secondary "god" who is His Logos." [Qu. Gen. II, 62] And further he explains, "...to whom God says, 'I am the god who was seen by you in the place of God.' [‘…ἐν τόπῳ θεοῦ en topo theou’; Gen. 31.13 LXX] ...but examine it accurately, and see whether there are really two Gods. For it is said: 'I am the god who was seen by you' not in my place, but in the place of God as if he meant some other God. What then should we say? There is ONE True God only, but they who are called 'gods' are numerous; on which account the Set-apart Scripture on the present occasion indicates that it is the True God that is meant by the use of the article, the expression being, 'I am the God (ὁ θεὸς ho Theos)'; but when the word is used [alternately], it is put without the article the expression being, 'He who was seen by you in the place', not 'of the God (tou Theou)", but simply 'of god (θεοῦ Theou)'. And what He calls 'god' is His chief Word...." [On Dreams, Book 1. 227-230]

..but there are more than 3 manifestations of YHWH in various forms! We cannot fathom the greatness of the mystery of God's being. Trinity is too ambitious to put an Awesome, magnificent God in that little box!
Peace be with you Friend ❤️ But the Trinity shows the True Nature of God in the Bible. Not 3 gods or One God that Exists in one Person or One God that Exists in one Person in 3 different forms. But One God that Exists in 3 Persons. All 3 are Distinct in their PersonHood but are of the Same Essence.
The "who" applied to the Holy Spirit can also mean that that person "who" is the spirit and is also Jesus who is also a person and since Jesus is the mediator it would make sense that he would be the spirit. And in Acts chapter 8 verses 26 and 29 it talks about the angel and the spirit being the same thing.
These are the _exact sins_ of Israel and Judah who followed after the triune gods of the heathen around them, which caused God to send the people into the captivity of Babylon. Ahab and Jezebel led the people down this dark path before and Elijah dealt with them and their Trinitarian priests with the firey wrath of God. Have you not read?

This study is important both for Jews and Christians. What must be understood, both have a whole lot in common. Tensions of nonbiblical nature creates the largest reason for the gulf between both groups.
@@ash9280 Similar ideas are, which is why it was so easy for them to convert. It primed them for Christianity, which is a good thing. They just didn’t have the full truth.
Say not 1+1+1=1 rather say all+all+all= All. God is a omni-being and God is one. For all can't be added to nor subtracted from. All can't be multiplied or divided. All is just all and God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God is all-powerful and God is coequal by nature.
So essentially, you are not just referring to the "trinity" but to multiple gods. Thank you for confirming that Christianity can now be classified as polytheistic.
This video seems to be confusing the Jewish conception of representation - where one's representative could properly hold the name/title of the one being represented - with later Trinitarian concepts that had three distinct persons literally subsisting in a single Divine Nature with all being fully and equally "God". The ancient Jews had no issue with the former. We even see examples of how comfortable they were with it in the NT where one account has an army officer presenting himself in-person to Jesus while another account makes clear it was actually his representative. The Jews were just as comfortable with this concept when it came to representatives of God, whether those representatives were spirit creatures / angels or other humans. But the ancient Jews had no conception of a literal multi-personal God like the one put forward by the Trinity Doctrine. One might make efforts after the fact to find Trinity-friendly formulations in the Hebrew Bible, but those formulations were not understood in remotely Trinitarian terms in their time.
Well said. If you want the confusion the trinity brings then that's up to you. I used to believe the trinity but it reached the point that it made no sense. No matter how all the silly analogies were given, three 100% gods, could not equal one God. www.biblicalunitarian.com/videos/practical-consequences-of-believing-in-the-trinity www.biblicalunitarian.com/articles/is-jesus-god www.biblicalunitarian.com/100-scriptural-arguments-for-the-unitarian-faith
I don't think the Hebrews merely perceived God through the concept of representation. We understand from the Torah, and the new testament that there are certain things rightly reserved for God, and God alone. Things such as worship and the authority to forgive a person's sins, are not to be given to men or angels but to God alone, however there are certain figures like the "commander of the Lord's army," of whom Joshua worships and referred to as Lord; Joshua 5:14 "And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?" Now one may say God isn't the only one referred to as Lord, however that aside, we know that if Joshua so it fit to worship him, he most likely believed that this entity was God himself. The ancient Iaraelites may not have believed in a trinitarian doctrine, but it appears to be evident in scripture that they believed in some kind of plurality of their monotheistic God. The name elohim though used in a singular way, actually means "the gods" or "the mighty ones." in the book of Genesis God refers to himself in the plural multiple times. Genesis 26; "Now let US make man in OUR own image, in OUR likeness..." Surely this isn't just mere representation.
@@cisuminocisumino3250 - I wasn't saying that the Hebrews "merely" understood God through the concept of representation. What I was saying is that they had a very robust concept of representation wherein the representative was often addressed, referenced and even treated as though they were the one being represented, and God was not excluded from that practice. An appointed representative of God could be addressed or referenced as though they were God and within that cultural context, nobody was confused by that. But modern readers often are. Regarding Joshua 5:14, the translation you're using is creating some confusion. The word translated there as "worship" merely refers to "bowing down" and physically prostrating oneself. It could be appropriate to use of someone who is bowing down in worship, but the word does not itself imply worship. To see another example of this we can look to 1 Chron 29:20. There, the congregation, in praising God, prostrates themselves (same word as Joshua 5:14) to both King David and God in a single act. And yet we don't mistakenly think because of this that the congregation believed David was actually God. Regarding "elohim", as you note, when used of God it is singular. It was also used to reference the singular Philistine god, Dagon, at Judges 16:23. Dagon was not a multi-personal god. In both cases, "elohim" is being used to denote majesty or excellence. Dagon was sometimes referred to as "father of gods". Jehovah, in the Hebrew Bible, was considered the Only True God (meaning the only one who was truly God in the fullest sense) and who ruled over other powerful spirit beings, like angels, who were also called "gods" (elohim as a plural). The use of "elohim" in regards to Jehovah is not to hint that he's a multi-personal God but to denote his unique and fulsome status in relation to other beings, including those who could rightly be called "god(s)" but not in the fullest sense. Regarding Genesis 26, we already know that by the time humans were created in the Genesis account, God was not alone. His Son was already in existence by that time, as were the angels, and we know his Son was directly involved in the creation. As such, the wording of "let US make man in OUR image," need not be the least bit confusing. It most certainly does not in any sense require the interpretation that God was a multi-personal being as understood within Trinitarian doctrine. Take care
Can you provide proper quotation for the Talmud 3:34? Talmud bavli 38b is not enough, as this is the number of the page in standard vilna edition, but we don't know the name of the tractate (I think tha t's the English name - מסכת in Hebrew).
I've always thought of the trinity and us being created in God's image like this: We are also a trinity. We have a body (physical), a soul(intelligence emotions) and a spirit (form in the spirit world, eternal part). God the father is the soul God the holy spirit is the spirit and Jesus is God, the body, in the physical world.
I have the same conclusion with what to me seems a bit simpler argument. 1. Who walked with Adam and Eve in the garden? A person called God met with A&E and walked and talked with them in the garden. The text leads one to consider this 'person' as a physical, corporeal being, yes called God. Who wrestled with Jacob in Genesis 32. The other wrestler is called a 'man' and certainly corporeal enough to put Jacob's hip out of joint. Then in verse 28 the man gives Jacob a new name - Israel - and explains why. Then in verse 37, Jacob seemingly ruminating makes a statement about wresting with God and surviving. Who visited Manoah and his unnamed wife; telling them of the coming birth of Samson? What did the nameless man do and who did Manoah and wife consider the nameless man? (Judges 13 and following.) 2 The Spirit of the Lord. Spoke to various prophets, left King Saul. Allowed several warriors incredible victors. No evidence of corporeal presence, but obvious results. 3. God (the Father) in Heaven, seeing and directing it all. (Jewish teaching and Christian teaching has no argument on this.) I've never been quite satisfied with the term 'persons'. But I'm not sure of a better term, really. Most other terms seem to divide the Godhead into discrete bits. (like 'aspects' or 'facets'). I think 'functions' works fairly well, but sounds rather mechanical. Most all Christians are used to 'persons' so I won't attempt to confuse anyone.
Bad theology. "We know the existence of God through demonstration, but the existence of Thre Persons onlyu through Revelation". - Thomas Aquinas. The The Trinity is not found in ANY Jewish manuscript, or the Greek Bible. It is a 3rd century solution to a problem crated by asserting Jesus was God.
@@groundzero5708 it's not in the old testament and maby you should look into Benjamin Sommer he uses lose language but in truth the only place you can find an acceptance of not the trinity exactly but the principle that God can manifest as multiple persons, is only found in Jewish mysticism as in kabala

The torture Jesus went through is not in the early manuscripts it was added to the story to strengthenthe narrative. Jesus was not tortured or beaten, had his legs broken. Ponctious Pilate had nothing against Jesus but was strong armed into doing what he did. There is no evidence he was nailed to a cross again this is a later addition and besides the normal roman practice was to tie the person with rope. Naw Jesus was just tied to a cross and he was up for haw long? Yes just a few hours. Just what exactly did he die of? Your intire doctrine come from Paul who was not a desiple. His gospel was from dream interpretations but God know what he was into, if you read descriptions of said dreams. The mithraic cults dominating greek hight sosiaty had a very similar belief of salvation already and these people through there appoch to paganism had no problem with absorbing the superficial form of other beliefs and using "noble lies." Paul was stating what he heard from the desiples, so Paul claims. You have nothing accept claims from Paul and his followers all the other gospels where written by them. You dont actually know who wrote them but Jesus and his followers where not from Greece and spoke aramaic but somehaw all greek manuscripts. The early church fathers would lie and make up whatever they needed, to deal with critics or if they thought it should be added to boost the validity of there understanding and make it fit the old testament. This is a fact if you go through the history and see the evolution of the story things being added and look at why they where added. Paul's himself gave the OK to lie in order to spread the gospel. Read 1st corinthians 19-23 if you disagree then read the commentary by Clement of Alexander. Whatever your interpretation that is haw they understood it and that's all that counts. I feel that you Christians only know what your leaders say about Islam. Look for your self. I'm not asking you to leave Jesus. Only to stop worshiping him and worship God the father. Islam is ment for the end time so a least look at the major and minor signs of the end or the dajjal/Antichrist who will be known by one eye.

Catholicism is Pagan Heresy.
The Romans crucified Jesus and destroyed Jerusalem in AD70.
Jesus was a Jew, not Roman. The Popes are false imposters and the entire Catholic system is the AntiChrist, that’s mentioned in Revelation.
The Greek word Anti means false, as in a false imposter. Just look at the pope, what is he wearing?
All the teachings and practices of Catholicism, are from various Pagan religions and have no place in True Christianity.
The Romans usurped Christianity, to prolong the Roman Empire, by bringing all the variety of religions into one.
Catholicism conflicts with the Bible and regards the Church’s authority above the Bible.
The history of Catholicism and the Popes, is a far cry from the message of Christianity and the example of Jesus.
Jesus is the Lord and King. The Popes of Rome are false pretenders who follow after the way of the Flesh, not the Fruit of the Spirit.

I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
JOHN 16 ➡️ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name.

I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?

🧔👴🕊️⬅️ God is NOT mocked. The pagan Trinity is the false/replacement/anti Christ. Rejecting Jesus by splitting the Son from the Father and saying "IS NOT", you're now worshiping a man who has been elevated up to God status in your temples. When you do that you deny that Jesus is the Christ and that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
We aren't still waiting for the "falling away." That was written 2000 years ago. We're in TIMES, not TIME.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son/flesh of the living God (Father: One God, the Father/I AM). 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. MATTHEW 16:15-18
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ? (Son, hence Father) This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 JOHN 2:22-23
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 JOHN 4:1-3
This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus (God, hence Father) Christ (Son, hence Father) as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (Son, hence Father) does not have God (Father). He who abides in the doctrine of Christ Son, hence Father) has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 6:7-11
The Father came in the flesh by sending His Son, born of a woman; hence, not mother of God. "you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The distinction is the humanity (root and descendent of David). God (the Father) is not of this world.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-4
"In the beginning was the plan of salvation through the Christ, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was with Jesus, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was Jesus. This one was in the beginning with Jesus. All things were made through Him (by Jesus through the Christ.) ..... the plan of salvation through the Christ was made flesh (Jesus Christ.... ("we shall call Him Jesus" "I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If someone comes in his own name ➡️🧔👴🕊️ him you will receive") and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6
Do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ (Son, hence Father), the Son/flesh of God (one God, the Father), and that believing you may have life in His name. JOHN 20:27-31
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,

But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. ISAIAH 64:8
Globe Earth and Heliocentrism is false and pagan, too. As is Christmas. All pagan. When Jesus says "Jews who say they are Jews but are the synagogue of Satan."

One of the greatest parallels I’ve read in Scripture proving the three persons of the Trinity is as follows.
John 12:36b-41 NASB
[36] … These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid m Himself from them. [37] But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him. [38] This was to fulfill the word of Isaiah the prophet which he spoke: "Lord, WHO HAS BELIEVED OUR REPORT? AND TO WHOM HAS THE ARM OF THE LORD BEEN REVEALED?" [39] For this reason they could not believe, for Isaiah said again, [40] "He HAS BLINDED THEIR EYES AND HE hardened THEIR HEART, SO THAT THEY WOULD NOT SEE WITH THEIR EYES AND PERCEIVE WITH THEIR HEART, AND BE CONVERTED AND I HEAL THEM." [41] These things Isaiah said because he saw His glory, and he spoke of Him.
The Greek Septuagint says it this way:
Esaias 6:1, 8-10 LXX
1. And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was FULL OF HIS GLORY... 8. And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people, 9. Ye shall hear indeed, but ye shall not understand; and ye shall see indeed, but ye shall not perceive. 10. For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
One thing that needs to be understood is that at the time of this event and afterward, the common text that was universally in use was the Greek translation of the Old Testament known as the Septuagint. This is why John uses the word “glory” in v. 41 and not “train” as clearly expressed in the Hebrew (Isaiah 6:1).
But what's even more intriguing is that John asserts that Isaiah saw Jesus. Now we have to ask the question, who did Isaiah see? Isaiah would have said Yahweh. But if you were to ask John, who did Isaiah see? John would say Jesus.
What's even more interesting is that Paul also makes reference to this Isaiah passage; yet, he indicates that it was the Holy Spirit that Isaiah heard speaking to him.
Acts 28:25b-27 NASB
[25] … Paul had spoken one parting word, “The Holy Spirit rightly spoke through Isaiah the prophet to your fathers, [26] saying, 'Go TO THIS PEOPLE AND SAY, "You WILL KEEP ON HEARING, BUT WILL NOT UNDERSTAND; AND YOU WILL KEEP ON SEEING, BUT WILL NOT PERCEIVE; [27] For the heart of this people has become dull, And with their ears they scarcely hear, And they have closed their eyes; Otherwise they might see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart and return, And I would heal them .”’
Now we have to ask the question again, who did Isaiah see? Isaiah would have said Yahweh. But if you were to ask John, who did Isaiah see? John would say Jesus. If we were to ask Paul, who was speaking to Isaiah, Paul would say it was the Holy Spirit.
And there you have it, a perfect expression of the Triunity of God found in the writings of the inspired prophets and the apostles.
Playing devil's advocate here, I feel like it doesn't necessarily allude to Jesus until John says it does, and until Paul says it's the Holy Spirit. It could technically be argued that maybe new testament writers made an effort to make it seem LIKE that's what it refers to, but it's also not bulletproof as there have been cases of double prophecies in the bible. Like the prophecy given to Daniel of Alexander the Great and, was it Antiochus? I don't remember, and then towards the end alludes to something that hasn't happened yet but will happen further in the future. So yeah, like that
@@nox567 True, but there’s generally 2 arguments against the trinity:
1. The 1st argument is generally made by Jews: the old testament does not explicitly mention the trinity, therefore new testament writers made up the doctrine of the trinity.
2. The 2nd argument is generally made by Muslims: Jesus and the new testament writers did not explicitly mention the trinity, therefore early church fathers made up the doctrine of the trinity at the council of Nicea.
I think the comment above would argue against the second argument, which is made by muslims. But it wouldn’t argue against the Jewish view.
@@MarvelousSquad the Jewish view of the concept is not at all foreign to them. Yeshua/Jesus is what most of them by their traditions would refer to as the Memra/Word of God that serves as a mediator between God and Man and is even worthy of praise. In the Targum, everytime God interacts with humans, God is replaced with Memra to reconcile the fact that God said he cannot be seen, for example Jacob made a statement, "...the Memra of God will be my God."
And the idea of that essence of God taking flesh, like a Shekhinah is also not foreign. People forget that God can sit enthroned in heaven in glory, fill the whole universe with his spirit, and fill up the whole tabernacle or temple with his power so that no human will even be capable of entering, while also being able to visit Abraham in human form all simultaneously. I think people just assume that the whole concept somehow depletes from God, which we know isn't true.
So the idea isn't at all foreign to them if their being honest, and even in the old testament especially in the psalms the word of God is described as a concrete entity worthy of praise and obedience, there's nothing idolatrous about the concept at all if you have the right understanding of it
@@nox567 It’s not foreign to them, but they still view the trinity as heretical
@@MarvelousSquadin respect to the Jews, they actively suppress certain scriptures such as Isaiah 53, Psalm 22, etc that reference the Messiah coming in the form of a suffering servant. It took until 1054 for Isaiah 53 to be attributed to the nation of Israel, and not the Christ, for example.
Muslims do not understand the Trinity and do not want to. They view Allah as the one God who exists as a physical being. The Spirit of Allah is Gabriel, and the word of Allah became the Quran. Which is ironic, because they say God cant become a man, but He can become a book.
"That there is this one God who manifests itself in three different ways"

Ephesians 4:6 isn´t even a refutation at all and did you even read the verse because it says that there is only one lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and we trinitarians hold to the belief in 1 God
"Let us make man in our own image." I always believed that this verse from Genesis is the first manifestation of the Trinity in the Old Testament. Some heretical groups claimed that God is talking to the angels in this verse but angels cannot participate in the creation because they themselves are created.
Angels may create if they exist. I don't see a problem with that. But John chapter 1 says "All things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made" if I recall correctly-- so a Christian can say that this is a Trinity.
I don't know that it's wrong for God to say "let us..." in reference to angels, but Genesis says that man was made in the image and likeness of God, not of God and angels (Gen 1:27). So it seems a bit of a stretch to say he is speaking of himself and the angels.

And He said to them, “You are from beneath; I am from above. You are of this world; I am not of this world. Therefore I said to you that you will die in your sins; for if you do not believe that I am He (YAHWEH: ONE GOD, FATHER AND SAVIOUR) you will die in your sins.”
JOHN 8:23-24
I am Yahweh, and there is no other; Besides Me there is no God. ISAIAH 45:5
🧔👴🕊️⬅️ God is NOT mocked. The pagan Trinity is the false/replacement/anti Christ. Rejecting Jesus by splitting the Son from the Father and saying "IS NOT", you're now worshiping a man who has been elevated up to God status in your temples. When you do that you deny that Jesus is the Christ and that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh.
We aren't still waiting for the "falling away." That was written 2000 years ago. We're in TIMES, not TIME.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son/flesh of the living God (Father: One God, the Father/I AM). 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. MATTHEW 16:15-18
Who is the liar but he who denies that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ? (Son, hence Father) This is the antichrist, he who denies the Father and the Son. No one who denies the Son has the Father. Whoever confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 JOHN 2:22-23
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the spirit of the Antichrist, which you have heard was coming, and is now already in the world. 1 JOHN 4:1-3
This is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, that as you have heard from the beginning, you should walk in it. For many deceivers have gone out into the world who do not confess Jesus (God, hence Father) Christ (Son, hence Father) as coming in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. Look to yourselves, that we do not lose those things we worked for, but that we may receive a full reward. Whoever transgresses and does not abide in the doctrine of Christ (Son, hence Father) does not have God (Father). He who abides in the doctrine of Christ Son, hence Father) has both the Father and the Son. If anyone comes to you and does not bring this doctrine, do not receive him into your house nor greet him; for he who greets him shares in his evil deeds. 2 John 6:7-11
The Father came in the flesh by sending His Son, born of a woman; hence, not mother of God. "you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ who you sent." The distinction is the humanity (root and descendent of David). God (the Father) is not of this world.
Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. 2 THESSALONIANS 2:3-4
"In the beginning was the plan of salvation through the Christ, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was with Jesus, and the plan of salvation through the Christ was Jesus. This one was in the beginning with Jesus. All things were made through Him (by Jesus through the Christ.) ..... the plan of salvation through the Christ was made flesh (Jesus Christ.... ("we shall call Him Jesus" "I have come in my Father's name and you receive me not. If someone comes in his own name ➡️🧔👴🕊️ him you will receive") and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist. 1 CORINTHIANS 8:6
Do not be unbelieving, but believing. ”And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” And truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written that you may believe that Jesus (God, hence Father) is the Christ (Son, hence Father), the Son/flesh of God (one God, the Father), and that believing you may have life in His name. JOHN 20:27-31
For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
ISAIAH 9:6
But now, O Yahweh, You are our Father; We are the clay, and You our potter; And all of us are the work of Your hand. ISAIAH 64:8
Globe Earth and Heliocentrism is false and pagan, too. As is Christmas. All pagan. When Jesus says "Jews who say they are Jews but are the synagogue of Satan." Jews in that context was surely in reference to true Israel (both Jews and gentiles in Christ). The religion of Christianity are those "Jews."
There's eternal consequences for believing the word of man over the word of God.
Is it not correct that a Jew would say no one can see God and live? ; and equally true that Jacob wrestled with God? That would seem to me to be a direct contradiction, how would they resolve it?
In fact many people in the old testament seem to have seen God, walked with Him, had a meal, what do Jewish believers do with these events in reconciliation with the fact that none have seen God?
As a Christian it is quite obviously Yeshua they are interacting with and God the Father that no man but Christ has seen, so there is nothing to resolve, but I would be curious to know how they get around it.
they would say they were with an angel like stephen did when talking about moses in acts 7
Some Christians claim that the Bible teaches that God cannot be seen by mortals, and so claims to have seen God the Father or Jesus Christ must be false. However, numerous Biblical verses attest that God has been seen by select humans. John 1:18, which the critics use to argue otherwise, has been interpreted differently by early Christians to avoid the self-contradiction which the critics' reading creates for the Bible.
If God can say "I change not," (Malachi 3:6) and he has appeared to mortals in the past, as the Bible bears record, why would he change his tactics and refuse to appear to modern prophets?
The most commonly used Biblical citation invoked by the critics is probably John 1:18, which reads “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
Early Christian author Irenaeus wrote in A.D. 180 that this scripture should be read “For "no man," he says, "hath seen God at any time," unless "the only-begotten Son of God, which is in the bosom of the Father, He hath declared [Him]."
Furthermore, by adopting this approach, Irenaeus' interpretation of John 1:18 harmonized with the rest of the Bible and the qualifications which the Bible provides for those who may see God. The requirements are:
Must be "of God" “Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.” (John 6:46.) Some critics will argue that only Jesus "is of God", but that position is unscriptural. Moses too was "of God"(Deuteronomy 33:1), as well as Samuel (1 Samuel 9:10), Shemaiah (1 Kings 12:22), and Elijah (1 Kings 17:24).
Must have "peace and holiness" within you "Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which, no man shall see the Lord" (Hebrews 12:14.)
Must be pure in heart "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matthew 5:8.)
As the numerous Biblical references demonstrate, the idea of seeing God is hardly foreign to Hebrew or early Christian thought. There are also non-scriptural examples: Philo the Jew taught that the name Israel was compounded of 3 words “ish” “rah” “El”, which means “man seeing God;” this view is also found in the apocryphal Prayer of Joseph. And, an early Christian document called the Clementine Homilies portrays the apostle Peter as agreeing with Irenaeus' view:
“For I maintain that the eyes of mortals cannot see the incorporeal form of the Father or Son, because it is illumined by exceeding great light. . . . For he who sees God cannot live. For the excess of light dissolves the flesh of him who sees; unless by the secret power of God the flesh be changed into the nature of light, so that it can see light.”
Johanis Ardnt exactly. 10 And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face, Deut 34:10
2. And he saw God face to face, and he talked with him, and the glory of God was upon Moses; therefore Moses could endure his presence.
11. But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him. Moses 1:2,11
@@UVJ_Scott A couple of quick side points James….you’re referencing God or seem to be as though God was a name for the Father. In fact Yashua is God….I am confident you will agree…So to reference the Father as though His name is God is confusing. I know a lot of people do so……but in fact God like man is a reference to a being, a nature…
Secondly the scriptural reference you are pointing to with the claim that to see the Father is a matter of being of the Father is a bit ambiguous, as it could legitimately be said it refers Yashua alone…or to all who have received the adoption as you suggest….or it may also be that those who have not to this point but will see the Father are being referenced….
I do concede there is a possibility of your usage but even so the question I asked was put to Jews who do not accept Yashua or His teachings…so this scripture, what Christians accept as scripture can not be used authoritatively in any sense. This is to point out that the current Jewish position is inconsistent and introduces contradictions; which if one holds the scripture to be the actual word of God should not be present.
Patrick, thanks for the important clarifications. I have noticed that some members of the Jewish faith are converting to Christianity due to dreams and other direct interventions by Yashua. Many of these conversions are posted on the “One for Israel” TH-cam channel.
This is a great summary with respect to the one true God including the mystery. As a Christian who believes the Trinity, I can say there is just as much value in reflecting that God is One, one Being, as in hearing about the Three. But I hear the unity so much less often in sermons.
There will be time, times, and half a time, and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things will be finished." Daniel 12:7
We're in Times, not Time. This ➡️ 🧔👴🕊️abomination of desolation standing in the holy place leads to this ➡️ 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 desolating abomination at the end of the world (2 THESS 2:3-13) Matthew 24:15 ("let the reader understand.") Vengeance isn't limited to the destruction of Jerusalem anymore, it's on the whole world/Babylon for rejecting Him. Hence because we're in TIMES, we don't read that as "in Judea." We read it as "in the world/Babylon" Flee to the mountains (Father Jesus in heaven). Of course we're still literally in the world, but spiritually... "In the world, not of it." Faith can move mountains.
NOTICE THE WORDS I PUT IN CAPS. SUPER IMPORTANT. JOHN 14 ➡️ “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way (Son) the truth (Spirit) and the life (Father). No one comes to the Father except through Me. “If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.” Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?.... And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER AND I WILL PRAY THE FATHER and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
JOHN 16 ➡️ Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will see you again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you. “And in that day you will ask Me nothing. Most assuredly, I say to you, whatever you ask the Father in My name He will give you. Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full. “These things I have spoken to you in figurative language; but the time is coming when I will no longer speak to you in figurative language, but I will tell you plainly about the Father. In that day you will ask in My name AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU AND I DO NOT SAY TO YOU THAT I SHALL PRAY THE FATHER FOR YOU; for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me, and have believed that I came forth from God. I came forth from the Father and have come into the world. Again, I leave the world and go to the Father.” His disciples said to Him, “See, now You are speaking plainly, and using no figure of speech! Now we are sure that You know all things, and have no need that anyone should question You. By this we believe that You came forth from God.” Jesus answered them, “Do you now believe?
“You are My witnesses,” says the
Lord (Yahweh/Father) “And My servant (Son/Christ) whom I have chosen, That you may know and believe Me, And understand that I am He (SAVED BY JESUS THROUGH THE CHRIST: ONE GOD AND SAVIOUR). Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. I, even I, am the Lord, And besides Me there is no savior. ISAIAH 43:10-11

Thanks!
I really loved this :) People with logical sense can easily recognise that the holy trinity is the true god.. But Yet the Holy trinity cannot be fully explained or understandable by the human nature.. Because we have limits.. And cannot go beyond that.. GLORY TO THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR EVER AND EVER !!
I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense. How can you, in one sentence, say that anyone with logical sense can see that the trinity is the true God, and then in the next sentence say that humans can't comprehend the trinity? It's either easily understood or it's impossible to understand. It can't be both at the same time.
Michael Brown
Its the same concept with how we can recognize a 4D universe, yet not understand it for what it is. Just like how we’re one being, yet we can understand the concept of being 3 persons yet ONE being, without experiencing it for what it is.
@@mrb532 We understand gravity exists, yet do not know what it is made of. We know very little about gravity compared to what we could know.
@@mrb532 Do you comprehend how God is eternal and immaterial? No. But you still know that He is. Reducing God just so we can understand Him is disrespecting Him.
Apply your standards to yourself first before criticizing others.
Anyone with sense will reject the catholic false doctrine of trinity.....the non trinitarians were orthodox not the trinitarians
I used to be a Trinitarian in one of the world’s largest religious denominations for 53 years and taught and raised my own family the same for 18 years. I continued in this teaching right up until the day God had mercy on me and sent me the Holy Spirit who led me into all the truth (John 16:13). What does the Spirit have to say about this? If you have eyes to see and ears to hear, listen:
“At that same time Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit, and he said, “O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for HIDING THESE THINGS FROM THOSE WHO THINK THEMSELVES WISE AND CLEVER, and for REVEALING THEM TO THE CHILDLIKE. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.” (Luke 10:21)
“Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will NEVER ENTER the kingdom of heaven.” (Matt. 18:3)
Now, remember that show, “Are you smarter than a 5th grader”? Are you willing to be humble and be like a child? Take the test yourself and find out.
The topic is based on the doctrine of the Trinity. This doctrine declares the Godhead is triune being comprised of Father, Son and Holy Spirit who are “co-equal” with each other and “are all God”. Without being a bible scholar or having to twist scripture, this is really quite simple. Ready to test yourself?
Elementary 5th grade reading and basic 2nd grade math show us the truth of this matter; hence being like a child just like our Lord said:
Open your Bible, go to the gospel of John and read the following verses for yourself: John 1:1-3. Now do the basic math. How many God beings do you count? 2 or 3?
Having established that both the Father and the Son are God from what you just read, now read the following verses: John 5:17, 5:19, 5:20, 5:21, 5:22, 5:23, 5:26, 5:30, 5:36, 8:28, 12:50, 10:30, 14:6, 14:23, 14:28, 15:10, 17:3, 17:5, Rom. 1:1, Rom. 1:27, 1 Cor. 1:3, 1 Cor. 1:9, 1 Cor. 8:6-7, 1 Cor. 15:27-28, 2 Cor. 1:2-3, Eph. 1:2, 5:20, Philip. 1:2, Col. 1:3, 1 Thess. 1:3, 2 Thess. 1:2, Phil. 1:3, Heb. 1:8-13, 1 Peter 1:3, 2 Peter 1:2, 1 John 1:3, 1: John 5:20, 2 John 1:3, 2 John 1:9, Rev. 3:12, 7:10, 21:22-23. Now do the basic math. How many God beings do you count? 2 or 3?
Now, ask honestly ask yourself, where in this world does 1 + 1 =3?
The Spirit can keep going on with many more verses just like this. If you have the humility to be honest with yourself and what you just read, you will see the plain truth and the trinity doctrine is debunked. If the Holy Spirit was in fact God, why was he left out of all those verses? What happened to being co-equal?
Little children truly believe in Santa Claus in all sincerity up until the day they discover the ugly truth of the matter, right? This isn’t any different. Why anyone would continue to believe in a lie after the truth has been revealed with the preponderance of overwhelming evidence? Ripping the band aid off hurts, doesn’t it? But, “the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).
So now that you have read and seen the truth for yourself, do you still believe in the false trinity doctrine or did you fail the 5th grade test? If you failed it and still believe in the doctrines of men and not God, go to your Bible and read John 8:47. That is the harsh reality friend.
Another biblical fact: Nowhere in the Bible does it say that the Holy Spirit is God. Nowhere!
Christ also said, “the Father is greater than I” (John 14:28). Clearly, Christ by his very statement of fact said they are NOT co-equal! This totally scotches the doctrine of the trinity that claims the Father, Son and Spirit are co-equal. Who on earth would dare call Christ a liar? It’s sheer foolishness!
How can anyone believe in the false doctrine of the trinity after reading the gospel of John? The gospel of John and other books of the Bible clearly testify that the doctrine of the triune god is a lie (John 1:1-3). The word “trinity” isn’t even written anywhere in the Bible, why would anyone believe it?
The world foolishly says about the Spirit of God that he is “God the Spirit”. Christ tells us that “God IS spirit” (John 4:24). Do you see how foolish this is already? Why does God need a Spirit if he already IS spirit? It is the Spirit of God. The word “OF” being paramount as the Spirit belongs to God and Christ; the word “OF” denotes possession/ownership. They own it and they sent it (John 16:15)
Don’t know who the Holy Spirit is? Simple, read John 1:51 and Hebrews 1:7, 1:14, and Psalm 104:4. There is our Helper in plain sight yet most are so blinded by the years of false teaching and lies they can’t see the truth. Angel of the Lord, Angel of God, Spirit of God, the Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit = Holy Spirit.
Read Hebrews 1:7 and Psalm 104:4. Now go to the Book of Acts and read Acts 2:1-4 (The Coming of the Holy Spirit). This isn’t hard to figure out. Still can’t see?
Paul cautioned us about false humility and the worship of angles (Col. 2:18). The Holy Spirit warned John twice in the Book of Revelation that he should not be worshiped (Rev. 19:10, 22:8-9).
Let’s really simplify this: If a fallen angel is a demon/evil spirit that belongs to Satan (Rev. 12:7), then an angel of God can only be what? A Holy Spirit because he belongs to God who is holy (Lev. 11:44, 1 Peter 1:16).
Think about it, if the Holy Spirit was a single 3rd person of the Godhead, how is it even possible we can we all have him? See how foolish this is already? Do I get the Holy Spirit today and borrow him to you tomorrow? Can you see how foolish this world’s wisdom is. The answer is found again in Matthew 18:10 for it is written:
“Beware that you don't look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven THEIR ANGELS are always in the presence of my heavenly Father.” (Matt. 18:10).
The words “their angels” (Holy Spirit) shows ownership. The Holy Spirit for each one of us was not sent until Christ came into his glory (John 7:39).
Let the Bible explain itself, it's quite simple and straightforward. The teaching is very simple without having to twist scripture and believe in something that just isn't there like the word “trinity”. Biblical truth is solely based on the word of God (John 17:17)
It’s time to unlearn one of the greatest lies of so called “modern Christianity”. Believe in what Christ said and taught. Believe in what is actually and clearly written in the word of God and not in the invented mythology or eisegesis of men.
Get this, if you are worshiping the pagan invented god known as the “trinity”, you will never, ever receive the Holy Spirit (Acts 5:32) as you are breaking the 1st Commandment, a spiritual law of God’s coming kingdom (Rom. 7:14, Rev. 11:19) by creating your own god made up in the mythology and eisegesis of men.
“that their hearts may be encouraged, being KNIT together in love, and attaining to all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the knowledge of the mystery of God, BOTH of the FATHER AND OF CHRIST, IN WHOM are hidden ALL the treasures of WISDOM and KNOWLEDGE.” (Col. 2:2-3 NKJV).
Whom has ALL the treasures of wisdom and knowledge as you just read? The Father and Christ. Again, how many God beings do you count? 2 or 3?
Lay down your pride and what you think you know about God and the Bible and unlearn the lies. Repent and let God through the Holy Spirit teach you. Unless you become like a child, you will never enter the Kingdom of God. Forget what you think you know as the Lord has sent me to reveal the simplicity of his teaching in spirit and truth.
Finally, let’s read Proverbs 30:4 together:
“Who has ascended into heaven, or descended?
Who has gathered the wind in His fists?
Who has bound the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is HIS NAME, and what is HIS SON’S NAME,
If you know?
One more time, how many God beings do you count? 2 or 3?
Still don’t believe it? Let’s continue reading the rest of it:
“Every word of God is pure;
He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him.
DO NOT ADD TO HIS WORD,
Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar.” (Prov. 30:5-6)
FACT: The word “trinity” isn’t found anywhere in the Bible as it is “added” to His word. So now ask yourself, who is the liar?
If today you hear his voice, harden not your heart!
Repent for the Kingdom of God is near!
Also, Mark 12:29-31
Everyone forgets about Mark.
Repent heretic
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen!

@@agadirand4four347 and yet pre-christian texts exist concerning the debate about the Angel of the Lord being also the Lord. And the New Testament makes it one of the most obvious doctrines possible outside of the resurrection of Jesus that Jesus was God.
And yep, Jesus was God born of a woman, defecated, needed food, bled, and all.
Not that weird since the OT has people seeing God standing in front of them as a man pretty regularly.
It's like water. Water, ice and steam are all still water. Father, Son and Holy Spirit are all still God. Much love brothers and sisters Jesus Christ is King
careful... those are modes.
the son is not a mode of the father.
the son is distinct from the father. they are both co-existing, its not the son morphs to the father and the father then morphs to the son, assuming different modes of being.
that is what water ice steam does. its modalism.
trinity is not modalism.
in the trinity, all 3 are their own persons and all 3 exists at the same time and are not just one mode of the other!

Love this Channel. Smart guy.
There are passages in Genesis where one sentence states God and the next sentence says Angel referring to the same identity.
Your research is awesome.
Love your video, bless you. Sometimes when my faith stumbles I fall on videos like this and this really helps me say focused !
Isaiah 43 verse 10 i am he , before me there was no GOD FORMED , NEITHER SHALL BE AFTER ME !
@Nathanael Inman Ahhh. What loving Christian responses.😂😝
If you read closely to the verses above , it shows two people speaking Both is called YHWH, One is called YHWH the KING , the other One is called YHWH of Host. Now many people try to lie and say it's God and Israel but Israel was never called YHWH. Both of them say I Am the First and the Last , beside ME THERE IS NO GOD. We know that The Father is called The First and the Last, yet Jesus in the book of Revelation called Himself the First and the Last, with the Gospel of John 1:1 and the coming of Christ now part of the Mystery of God is solved. God is indeed a Trinity , Father , Son, Holy Spirit, make up the One God who is YHWH.
For anyone looking up references, at about 5:00, the part about Nahum Sarna, the reference to the angel is Exodus 14:19 not 14:9.
The Trinity is a concept that’s SO bound with emotion and guilt in its normal way of being taught, so if it is fake, be gentle with the people who are smart and loving bible reading Christians who believe it.
They are taught it from day one and taught that to deny it is to give Jesus, his death, God, and his message a horrifying slap in the face. They are taught to love that idea and the idea of Jesus literally being God to the bottom of their heart or they are basically fearfully spitting in Jesus face and believe they have their soul dangling above hell fire. It is a fearful-emotional attachment and so you can have the smartest most loving people believe it even if the obvious truth is that it is nowhere in scripture and that scripture obviously teaches something different.
If anyone wants to hear the case for one God alone in the Bible see "Biblical Unitarians"
Did you watch the video?
HydR4 Dark Watching now. But the Trinity and biblical exegesis over this topic was my main field of study. I used to believe Jesus was God and in the Trinity and was raised that way.
Unfortunately I haven’t studied the “powers in heaven” to be able to confidently speak about it. But when it comes to biblical evidence for or against, especially in the New Testament I’m pretty good for a layman.
“Even though there are many Gods and many Lords(Kings/Rulers), to us (Christians) there is (but) one ☝️ God, *the Father* ....and (only) one ☝️ Lord (King/Ruler) Christ”
“Why do you call me good? Only one alone is (truly) good (from within themselves), God”
“By myself I could do *nothing*”
“Father if possible please remove this cup from me, yet not my will be done, but yours (because my will is separate and can be contradictory to your purposes though I force myself to be aligned with yours)”
“And *this* is what eternal life is, to know you (Father) the *only true God* AND to know Jesus Christ, the one *you* sent”
1 Corinthians 15:20-28
Galatians 3:20
Let me stop here
@@youngknowledgeseeker 1. Jesus calls Himself the good Shepherd
2. Jesus had a human soul and body with which he United His divine essence
3."As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him."
You got one thing right... Jesus and the Father are separate, they aren't one person. They are one in essence.
@Slavaisusukhrystu He's certainly the good shepherd. But a shepherd working for God, not one who is God. Your third point explains itself. God loved and trusted Jesus so much that he gave him authority over all flesh (over humanity, over his fellow humans), even the power to raise the dead on his behalf. Its quite incredible.
Edit: I don't know why but it seems my reply below was deleted? Well, for anyone who may be reading (including you onlyafool), to summarize
- I encourage people to read up on John 1:18 and how it happens to be one of the passages that has significant and well attested to variant readings in the New Testament (unfortunately). I would encourage people to starting off their theological understanding with the most simple, straightforward, clear, and variant free texts first.
- I point out that even if Jesus is called God in the original reading it's still not an open and shut case that the author intended him to be recognized as the "true" God. ("God" is actually a title also shared by certain human beings in the Bible).
Sorry but John is inspired: john 1:18 No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is himself God and[b] is in closest relationship with the Father, has made him known. Your degree is pretty bad, John is referencing here jewish traditions / greek metaphisics about the word of God,
The Old Testament is very clear about the Trinity. It involves 2 men an the Holy Spirit. They are first mention in Genesis 1:18. On the forth day he made two great lights one to rule the day and one to rule the night. This is the the two kings of Avalon. The 10 commandments are written on Two stones for a reason. The Hebrews were lead by a pillar of smoke by day and fire by night. There are 2 pillars in front of Solomon's Temple Boaz and Jachin. Boaz means the redeemer and Jachin means the one who prepares the way without fail. I could write all day about the 2 Kings of Avalon. It is so obvious that people miss it.
Thanks for the excellent video!
Thank you for taking the time to put this all together and sharing it with us.
A helpful and much needed video! Valuable info given Kudos to producer of this video
I am Christian but in all honesty I am starting to lean towards Islam. Okay, the New Testament teached the God exists in 3 personages. Okay, the Torah and prophets and works of Kabbalah teach that God exists in different eminations, yet the emanations are distinct from each other... but does that make it true? Just because a person or a text teaches something does not make it true. The Islamic doctrine on God's Unity of Lordship seems much more rational, and is beginning to render me into thinking "Okay, the Torah, OT prophets, and New Testament declare that God exists in the powers and personages. But I could just simply claim these works are works of heresy."

Great video, InspiringPhilosophy! God bless you!
Great video once again!!
I see the Trinity all over the OT
When God SAID let there be light. His Word created. That corresponds to the NT where it says, All things were made by him( the Word)
And in Zechariah God says “they shall look upon ME whom they pierced. “
You see what you want to see.

I missed you IP! Glory be another video!😀😀
Zechariah 6:12 is not a messianic prophecy. The “Branch” being talked about is Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest Zechariah was taking a crown to.
Nonsense. It's both/and. Prophetic language in the Bible often speaks to two (or more) realities: the prophetic foreshadow (which Zech6's temple ceremony would function as) and its principle fulfillment.
Example: "out of Egypt have I called my son" is descriptive of Israel's Exodus, and baby Jesus' move from Egypt to Nazareth (per Matt2). It has also been interpreted symbolically to apply the believers' conversion.
Great video! (As always)
Got to say, you do some amazing research. Even though I sometimes like to add in my two cents to your videos, you're filling in a lot of blanks in my knowledge.
Why not study the Old Testament more carefully? Even in the first paragraph of
Bereshit God has revealed His plurality.
Jews: Christians are Pagan because they believe in these Trinity.
Jews also: We believe that YHWH has different essance and there are three of them.
Anyone who reads the Old Testament carefully knows that God is presented as both singular and plural, and that the number of His plurality is three. The Shema itself is simply the name of God repeated three times followed by the number one:
שְׁמַ֖ע יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל יְהוָ֥ה אֱלֹהֵ֖ינוּ יְהוָ֥ה ׀ אֶחָֽד ׃
Hear, O Israel: The LORD, our God, the LORD: One.
Yes, it can also be taken to mean unique or "the only one" and that is the meaning in Zech 14:9. However, in Deut 6:4, the fact that the name of God is repeated three times followed by the number one is significant and thus points to uniplurality, i.e., that the three are One LORD (Yahweh Echad) just as the two (husband and wife) are One Flesh (Basar Echad) in Gen 2:24.
The difficulty in interpreting Deut 6:4 is that it is a verbless clause (a string of nouns or words that act like nouns, but no verb 'governing' how they interrelate) the last word of which אֶחָֽד (echad) can be used in many different ways. The fact that the reader was to hear this verse שָׁמַע (shama) marks it as a very profound and multifaceted statement as when the Lord Jesus used it in the NT "“If anyone has ears to hear, let him hear.” (e.g., Mark 4:23, etc.).
Hear, O Israel: The LORD (YHWH-Father), our God (ELOHIM-EL/God + OHIM/Plural), the LORD (YHWH-Father): One (ECHAD-unity). YHWH, our ELOHIM, YHWH: ECHAD. FATHER, our God, Father: unity. There is Trinity.
Older video but it deserves to be bookmarked. Lot of condensed info that may come in handy. It seems that objections to the Trinity are as continuous today as the day the word trinity was first used.
Even to confirm the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah it says the Lord which was on ground called to the Lord in heaven to rain fire. Two right there.
How about when the Lord on the cloud revealed the Lords Name to Moses in Exodus. The Lord announced it as if it was another person.
Then the Lord told Moses that despite all he sees to tell the people that God is One.
Even I Am that I Am is revealing, He says it twice, same but twice.
God came as man in the flesh because only as a man He Jesus The Christ can physically die since in ALL of HIS glory could NOT...

Another great video IP :-D
There is no "Trinity" in the Hebrew Scriptures. This is why:
But this is what Our G-d says about himself:
Exodus 20:23
“I am the Lord your G-d, who brought you out of Egypt, and the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (See also Deuteronomy 5:7)
Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man that He should lie, nor a mortal that He should change His mind.”
Deuteronomy 4:11-12
“You came near and stood at the foot of the mountain while it blazed with fire to the very heavens, with black clouds and deep darkness. Then the Lord spoke to you out of fire. You heard the sound of words but saw no image, there was only a voice.”
Deuteronomy 4:35
“You are the ones who have been shown, so that you will know that G-d is the Supreme Being and there is none other besides him.”
Deuteronomy 4:39
“Know therefore today, and take it to your heart, that the Lord, He is G-d in heaven above and on earth below; there is no other!”
Deuteronomy 6:4
“Hear O Israel! The Lord is our G-d, the Lord is one!” (Not three)
Deuteronomy 6:14
“You shall not follow other G-ds, any of the gods of the people´s who surround you!”
Deuteronomy 32:39
“See now that I, I am He - and no god is with me…” (So how can there be a "Trinity" or Jesus as G-d the son?)
1 Samuel 2:2
“There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee; neither is there any Rock like our G-d.” (No god beside G-d, therefore no "Trinity")
1 Samuel 15:29
“The Eternal One of Israel will not lie or change His mind nor change His mind: for he is not a man that he should change His mind.” (So how could Jesus be man and god at the same time on earth?)
1 Kings 8:27
“For will G-d dwell on the earth? Behold the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have built?” (Therefore, Jesus cannot be G-D in the flesh)
1 Kings 8:60
“So that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord is G-d and there is no other!” (Only Him)
2 Kings 19:19
“Now O Lord our G-d, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on earth may know that you alone, O Lord are G-d?”
Isaiah 40:18
“To whom will you liken G-d? Or what likeness will you compare unto Him?”
Isaiah 40:25
“To whom will then you liken me, that I should be his equal?” (Can you answer that question? Is Jesus equal to G-d?)
Isaiah 42:8
“I am the Lord, that is My name, and My glory will I not give to another. Neither My praise to graven images.” (To worship a Jewish man is one thing, but to proclaim him as god is dangerous. Our G-d does not share his glory, period.)
Isaiah 43:10-11
“You are my witnesses,” declares the Lord, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am He. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be after me. I, even I, am the Lord, and besides me there is no Saviour.” (Our G-d tells us that after him, there is no Jesus, no Trinity, nothing… zilch, nada, nil!)
Isaiah 44:6-8
This is what the Lord says, Israel´s King and Redeemer, the Lord Almighty, “I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God! Who then is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and lay out before Me… Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God beside me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Our G-d does not recognise a “Trinity”, Period!)
Isaiah 44:24
So said the Lord, your Redeemer, the one who formed you from the womb. “I am the Lord who makes everything, who stretched forth the heavens alone, Who spread out the earth by myself.”
Isaiah 45:5-6
“I am the Lord and there is no other; besides me there is no god… I will strengthen you… in order that they know from the shining of the sun and from the west that there is no-one besides me; I am the Lord and there is no other!”
(No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.)
Isaiah 45:18-19
For this is what the Lord says - He Who created the heavens, He is God; He who fashioned and made the earth, He founded it; He did not create it to be empty but formed it to be inhabited - He says, “I am the Lord and there is no other. I have not spoken in secret, from somewhere in a land of darkness; I have not said to Jacob´s descendants, “Seek me in vain.” I the Lord speak the truth; I declare what is right.”
Isaiah 46:5
“To whom shall you liken me and make me equal and compare Me that we be alike?” (You dare compare G-d with a Jewish man named Jesus?)
Isaiah 46:9
“Remember the first things of old, that I am G-d and there is no other, I am G-d and there is none like me.” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.)
Isaiah 48:11
“… and My honour I will not give to another.” (Our G-d does not share His glory... period)
Isaiah 48:12
“Listen to me, O Jacob and Israel, My called: I am He; I am the First, I also am the Last.” (No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.)
Hosea 13:4
“And I am the Lord your G-d, Who brought you out of Egypt. You shall acknowledge no G-d but me, no Saviour except me!” (Jesus is not our saviour... period).
Joel 2:27
“And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and I am the Lord your G-d, there is no other; and My people shall never be ashamed.” (We only worship the One True G-d, not this “Trinity thing,” and we are not ashamed to say it)
Psalm 81:8-9
“Hear O My people, and I will admonish you; O Israel if you would listen to me! Let there be no strange G-d among you; nor shall you worship any foreign god.” (This “Trinity” that you preach of, is a strange and foreign god, we know not the trinity)
Psalm 146:3
“Do not put your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no salvation.” (Jesus was called the “Prince” of peace & “The Son of man... in whom we have no salvation)
Nehemiah 9:6
“You alone are the Lord; You made the heavens and the heaven of heavens and all their host, the earth and all that is upon it, the seas and all that is in them, and You give life to them all, and the heavenly host bow down before you.”
1 Chronicles 17:20
“O Lord, there is none like You, neither is there any G-d beside you, according to all that we heard with our ears!”
(No other god before our G-d, no other god beside our G-d, no other G-d after our G-d.... there is no other, period.)
As a footnote: The purpose of the Christian is to bring as many people to Jesus. The purpose of the Muslim is to bring as many people to Islam. But Christianity and Islam have expiry dates and will pass away. Then the Real mesaiah will arrive and this will happen:
Zechariah 8:23 “Thus saith the Lord of hosts: ‘In those days it shall come to pass that ten men out of all the languages of the nations shall take hold, even shall take hold of the skirt of him that is a Jew, saying, “We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.”’
I hope this helps your confusion. With kind regards and respect. Shalom.
Cool, who blessed Isaac and who brought the Israelites out of Egypt?
Wow , I love how you conveniently left out Zachariah 12:10, read the chapter and tell me who has been stabbed ? Why is god speaking in first person , can we stab god ? Why are the people crying over a first born ? ... It's almost like we stabbed god and hurt his hands, I wonder who that guy is ...

The aspects of God are often mentioned in the larger books of the Prophets, & even briefly in the minor prophets. Although there is often disagreement as to what they were saying between Christians & Jews, I fully agree that to say such things are not there, is to bury ones head in the sand. I have listened to Rabbi on this, & most of them will at least approach the subject, but few will give as much ground as was presented here.
One of the hardest lessons to learn is to be humble before your God. To hear what is said, not what you *want* him to say. Great as always!
God Bless
We do not need to explain the trinity but to believe it only. God still expresses himself in humans by the Holy Spirit.
This guy is a bit awe-inspiring. I could find myself becoming despondent as in : "Jeez, I had no idea how clueless I was until I listened to some of his videos." I could, but then I just remind myself of the 1st part of the title of his channel. Inspiration does include many things, even some that may not have been exactly what he intended when he chose the title. My takeaway from the guy's overall work is to be inspired by his methodology so that by adopting effective techniques, I will be better equipped to defend Faith in Christ, the Faith passed down to us through the men sent by Christ Himself into the world. The odds of me ever becoming as qualified as this guy are pretty slim. The good news is that by listening closely, anyone of us can benefit from his work and improve our own ability to defend our Faith. Go Inspiring Philosophy! Slayer of poor apologetics!
Thank you for the kind words.
@@InspiringPhilosophy you're just another fool who can't add and refuses to see how stupid your conclusion is.

In Genesis, Abraham, Isaac and Eliezer are a Trinity type and shadow. Rebekah is a Christ- bride type and shadow.
The connections between these people and the identity of the Trinity is so numerous.
To be a Christian today, your desire is to be with Jesus and to feel that fullness of joy that would come from being with Him just breathing in joy and breathing out gratitude.
But today what we have is our Helper, the Holy Spirit, who is like Eliezer, whose name means "God is Help".. Just as Eliezer chose Rebekah, the Holy Spirit is about all the earth searching our hearts and choosing the chosen. And just as Eliezer brought Rebekah to Isaac, the Holy Spirit will transform us and bring us to be with Christ forever.
There is so much more to this shadow.
Jacob Neusner and other jews cited were not Orthodox but reform who do not believe Torah is holy from G-d but a book written by man.He was somewhat of an apostate. Never went to Yeshiva...
Christians don't understand all that though. The new testament leads with a lot of with abstract, pliable statements that give ample room for the belief that other texts like Torah can be twisted in the same way or reinterpreted into oblivion for the sake of a novel doctrine. Pointing it out doesn't help; I've tried and taught the class (literally). People will believe what they want, especially outside of legitimate Judaism.
Reformed just need to admit they're not practicing Judaism.
Inspiring philosophy- how's everything going, I didn't know you were down wit Dr Michael Brown or his work, his Jewish objections to Jesus are well done as well as his 32 video series of many objections on his channel and many debates over the years he has done, well done video from you and a last thing is have you ever been in any formal debates video or audio on any topics?

Know that in the Talmud, although they do make an inquiry regarding why it is phrased "Come to YHWH" - and a possible explanation is offered (that maybe it's Metatron), in the end however, the matter is settled and they decide: "This is just how scripture says things." Basically they make the concession that scripture is written awkward at times.
But we do have a very good case - because this shows that although in the end they decided to ignore the evidence they did acknowledge that the text suggests the presence of another being standing on behalf of God.
Fantastic video. Very enlightening. I always wondered how the Jews preceding Christianity did not understand the multifaceted nature of God in verses Like Isaiah 63:8-10, but it appears they did. Thanks for the clarification.
Reminds me of a familiar passage from Daniel 7:
The Ancient of Days Reigns
9 “As I looked,
thrones were placed,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat;
his clothing was white as snow,
and the hair of his head like pure wool;
his throne was fiery flames;
its wheels were burning fire.
10 A stream of fire issued
and came out from before him;
a thousand thousands served him,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him;
the court sat in judgment,
and the books were opened.
11 “I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
The Son of Man Is Given Dominion
13 “I saw in the night visions,
and behold, with the clouds of heaven
there came one like a son of man,
and he came to the Ancient of Days
and was presented before him.
14 And to him was given dominion
and glory and a kingdom,
that all peoples, nations, and languages
should serve him;
his dominion is an everlasting dominion,
which shall not pass away,
and his kingdom one
that shall not be destroyed.
Two descriptions of YHWH as the "Ancient of Days" and "Son of Man Given Dominion and Glory, Kingdom and Worship", adds more evidence that indeed God/YHWH is multi-personal.
Do you believe true worship is exclusive to God only?
That is very interesting
Read Daniel 7;27....and you will see who is "like a son of man"....and not "the son of man"!!
did you know the term "holy spirit" / "holy ghost" appears in the Old Testament as well?
Psalm 51 :11
Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Isaiah 63:10-11
But they rebelled, and vexed his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he fought against them. Then he remembered the days of old, Moses, and his people, saying, Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of his flock? where is he that put his holy Spirit within him?
@@Dmlaney His spirit that is Holy. Does not imply they are interconnected.
Genesis 1:2
Great video man!
Your videos are thought provoking, and I thank you. These important attestations call into question the "equality" of these Three Beings. While I am comfortable with the reasoned statements of Jewish Scholars on the interpretations they offer, it does seem like a jump to conclude that these Three Beings are all equal.
These three Hypostases (not beings; God is one Being, not three beings; the hypostases or Persons are three) are equal because they share the same divine essence. Tell me, please, how can the same divine essence be "not equal"?
Hi 3wL7. I sincerely appreciate all remarks on this matter. Before I reply ... I started listening again, and I'm astonished how weak the video is. The narrator sets out to prove a Triune being, and opens up with a jewsih scholar speaking of 10 and 100 personalities, or whatever. How can you possibly prove "Three" with citations of 10 and 100? I think neither you nir the producer would be comfortable with a church teaching 100 Persons in The Supreme Being. Yet, this is cited as evidence of the Three. Back to your point, the burden of proof is on those, who add to the scripture. I see no Bible chapter nor verse in your post-up. And this is common in the defense of the Trinity. Please quote any verse you want. I will say "Amein" and "HalleluYah". We get in trouble with follow-on reasoning and interpretation. To answer your question about equality among them ... see John 14:28b: " ... my Father is greater than I."
@@marbanak What happened when the Babylonians destroyed Solomon's temple?
@@@choicemeatrandy6572 I am reasonably acquainted with that period in Israelite history.

It's OK to challenge me and to disagree with me. Kind shalom always.
@@marbanak Christians believe that there are 3 Persons identified as possessing the Being of God. The reason I brought up Solomon's temple in regards to your post was to contrast the "greater than I" comment Jesus made. God's presence dwelled in the temple as well as the tabernacle yet God still says He doesnt live in houses made by human hands and yet one wouldn't say that same Presence was any less a form of God...in other words God's Presence is God's Presence whether it was in the tabernacle, temple or in Jesus. Yet the temple itself was destroyed by human hands but God's Presence wasnt in any way affected nor would you say it was lesser than God's Presence in heaven. The temple as a building isnt greater than God. Jesus actually likens His physical body to the temple in John 2:19-21...and after He had risen His disciples saw the connection and understood why it made sense for Him to be fully man and also fully God.
Hope that answers your question.
The Alexandrian Jew, Philo, who wrote a generation earlier, 'John' distinguishes between "ho Theos" (ὁ θεὸς) meaning "the God" Who has no beginning and Who "no man has ever seen" [1:18] and "Theos" (θεὸς) meaning “god” whom "the God" brought forth in the beginning. [cf. Fug. 97; Sacr. AC.9; Som. 1:229-30; Leg. All., II, 86] For example, Philo teaches before 'John' was written, "Nothing mortal can be made in the likeness of the Most High One and ONLY Father of the Universe, but only in that of the secondary "god" who is His Logos." [Qu. Gen. II, 62] And further he explains, "...to whom God says, 'I am the god who was seen by you in the place of God.' [‘…ἐν τόπῳ θεοῦ en topo theou’; Gen. 31.13 LXX] ...but examine it accurately, and see whether there are really two Gods. For it is said: 'I am the god who was seen by you' not in my place, but in the place of God as if he meant some other God. What then should we say? There is ONE True God only, but they who are called 'gods' are numerous; on which account the Set-apart Scripture on the present occasion indicates that it is the True God that is meant by the use of the article, the expression being, 'I am the God (ὁ θεὸς ho Theos)'; but when the word is used [alternately], it is put without the article the expression being, 'He who was seen by you in the place', not 'of the God (tou Theou)", but simply 'of god (θεοῦ Theou)'. And what He calls 'god' is His chief Word...." [On Dreams, Book 1. 227-230]
This powerful!! For me, the trinity is fact...
It’s not, it’s historically inaccurate and unbiblical
And pagan

Great presentation.
..but there are more than 3 manifestations of YHWH in various forms! We cannot fathom the greatness of the mystery of God's being. Trinity is too ambitious to put an Awesome, magnificent God in that little box!
Peace be with you Friend ❤️
But the Trinity shows the True Nature of God in the Bible.
Not 3 gods or One God that Exists in one Person or One God that Exists in one Person in 3 different forms.
But One God that Exists in 3 Persons. All 3 are Distinct in their PersonHood but are of the Same Essence.
So, the "memra'" in the OT refers to what the "Logos" in the NT greek refers to, then?
yes
timthepainter1 chill the fuck out, seriously
The "who" applied to the Holy Spirit can also mean that that person "who" is the spirit and is also Jesus who is also a person and since Jesus is the mediator it would make sense that he would be the spirit. And in Acts chapter 8 verses 26 and 29 it talks about the angel and the spirit being the same thing.
These are the _exact sins_ of Israel and Judah who followed after the triune gods of the heathen around them, which caused God to send the people into the captivity of Babylon.
Ahab and Jezebel led the people down this dark path before and Elijah dealt with them and their Trinitarian priests with the firey wrath of God.
Have you not read?
Trinitarian priests? Where is that in the Bible?

1st Chronicles 29:10 ....David said Blessed be thou, Lord God of Israel our father for ever and ever. He never mentioned a son and a dove. I can't seem to find any one who said and give regards to your son and the dove ,or even did you name the dove yet? So Until you can put a name to any one who brings up one inkling of trinity in Hebrew you are addressing 1,902 idiots
Wow this video es 7 years old!!
Deut 6:4 was quoted in Mark 12:29. Never once did they believe in the trinity.
Wow that's an amazing discovery about Philo.
This study is important both for Jews and Christians. What must be understood, both have a whole lot in common. Tensions of nonbiblical nature creates the largest reason for the gulf between both groups.
The Trinity is also found in the ancient Greco-Roman religion too. That’s why they were so easy to convert after the council of Nicaea.
No, the Trinity is not found in Greo Roman religion.
@@ash9280 Similar ideas are, which is why it was so easy for them to convert. It primed them for Christianity, which is a good thing.
They just didn’t have the full truth.
its also found in the Canaanite religion, the ones the Lord told the Jews not to be like.
@@ThePoliticratno.. Have three deities does to equal trinity.
Great videos !! Thank you and God bless you !
wooooow....so inspiring
Say not 1+1+1=1 rather say all+all+all= All. God is a omni-being and God is one. For all can't be added to nor subtracted from. All can't be multiplied or divided. All is just all and God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God is all-powerful and God is coequal by nature.
So essentially, you are not just referring to the "trinity" but to multiple gods. Thank you for confirming that Christianity can now be classified as polytheistic.
Nope, one singular God :p
Thanks for ignoring everything he said
Excellent teaching, sir!
This video seems to be confusing the Jewish conception of representation - where one's representative could properly hold the name/title of the one being represented - with later Trinitarian concepts that had three distinct persons literally subsisting in a single Divine Nature with all being fully and equally "God". The ancient Jews had no issue with the former. We even see examples of how comfortable they were with it in the NT where one account has an army officer presenting himself in-person to Jesus while another account makes clear it was actually his representative. The Jews were just as comfortable with this concept when it came to representatives of God, whether those representatives were spirit creatures / angels or other humans. But the ancient Jews had no conception of a literal multi-personal God like the one put forward by the Trinity Doctrine. One might make efforts after the fact to find Trinity-friendly formulations in the Hebrew Bible, but those formulations were not understood in remotely Trinitarian terms in their time.
Well said.
If you want the confusion the trinity brings then that's up to you.
I used to believe the trinity but it reached the point that it made no sense. No matter how all the silly analogies were given, three 100% gods, could not equal one God.

I don't think the Hebrews merely perceived God through the concept of representation. We understand from the Torah, and the new testament that there are certain things rightly reserved for God, and God alone. Things such as worship and the authority to forgive a person's sins, are not to be given to men or angels but to God alone, however there are certain figures like the "commander of the Lord's army," of whom Joshua worships and referred to as Lord;
Joshua 5:14
"And he said, Nay; but as captain of the host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said unto him, What saith my Lord unto his servant?"
Now one may say God isn't the only one referred to as Lord, however that aside, we know that if Joshua so it fit to worship him, he most likely believed that this entity was God himself.
The ancient Iaraelites may not have believed in a trinitarian doctrine, but it appears to be evident in scripture that they believed in some kind of plurality of their monotheistic God. The name elohim though used in a singular way, actually means "the gods" or "the mighty ones." in the book of Genesis God refers to himself in the plural multiple times.
Genesis 26;
"Now let US make man in OUR own image, in OUR likeness..."
Surely this isn't just mere representation.
@@cisuminocisumino3250 - I wasn't saying that the Hebrews "merely" understood God through the concept of representation. What I was saying is that they had a very robust concept of representation wherein the representative was often addressed, referenced and even treated as though they were the one being represented, and God was not excluded from that practice. An appointed representative of God could be addressed or referenced as though they were God and within that cultural context, nobody was confused by that. But modern readers often are.
Regarding Joshua 5:14, the translation you're using is creating some confusion. The word translated there as "worship" merely refers to "bowing down" and physically prostrating oneself. It could be appropriate to use of someone who is bowing down in worship, but the word does not itself imply worship.
To see another example of this we can look to 1 Chron 29:20. There, the congregation, in praising God, prostrates themselves (same word as Joshua 5:14) to both King David and God in a single act. And yet we don't mistakenly think because of this that the congregation believed David was actually God.
Regarding "elohim", as you note, when used of God it is singular. It was also used to reference the singular Philistine god, Dagon, at Judges 16:23. Dagon was not a multi-personal god. In both cases, "elohim" is being used to denote majesty or excellence. Dagon was sometimes referred to as "father of gods". Jehovah, in the Hebrew Bible, was considered the Only True God (meaning the only one who was truly God in the fullest sense) and who ruled over other powerful spirit beings, like angels, who were also called "gods" (elohim as a plural). The use of "elohim" in regards to Jehovah is not to hint that he's a multi-personal God but to denote his unique and fulsome status in relation to other beings, including those who could rightly be called "god(s)" but not in the fullest sense.
Regarding Genesis 26, we already know that by the time humans were created in the Genesis account, God was not alone. His Son was already in existence by that time, as were the angels, and we know his Son was directly involved in the creation. As such, the wording of "let US make man in OUR image," need not be the least bit confusing. It most certainly does not in any sense require the interpretation that God was a multi-personal being as understood within Trinitarian doctrine.
Take care
Can you provide proper quotation for the Talmud 3:34? Talmud bavli 38b is not enough, as this is the number of the page in standard vilna edition, but we don't know the name of the tractate (I think tha t's the English name - מסכת in Hebrew).
I've always thought of the trinity and us being created in God's image like this: We are also a trinity. We have a body (physical), a soul(intelligence emotions) and a spirit (form in the spirit world, eternal part). God the father is the soul God the holy spirit is the spirit and Jesus is God, the body, in the physical world.
This is how I think of it also. Not sure if it's at all orthodox but It's the only way I'vebeen able to wrap my mind around it.
I have the same conclusion with what to me seems a bit simpler argument.
1. Who walked with Adam and Eve in the garden? A person called God met with A&E and walked and talked with them in the garden. The text leads one to consider this 'person' as a physical, corporeal being, yes called God.
Who wrestled with Jacob in Genesis 32. The other wrestler is called a 'man' and certainly corporeal enough to put Jacob's hip out of joint. Then in verse 28 the man gives Jacob a new name - Israel - and explains why. Then in verse 37, Jacob seemingly ruminating makes a statement about wresting with God and surviving.
Who visited Manoah and his unnamed wife; telling them of the coming birth of Samson? What did the nameless man do and who did Manoah and wife consider the nameless man? (Judges 13 and following.)
2 The Spirit of the Lord. Spoke to various prophets, left King Saul. Allowed several warriors incredible victors. No evidence of corporeal presence, but obvious results.
3. God (the Father) in Heaven, seeing and directing it all. (Jewish teaching and Christian teaching has no argument on this.)
I've never been quite satisfied with the term 'persons'. But I'm not sure of a better term, really. Most other terms seem to divide the Godhead into discrete bits. (like 'aspects' or 'facets'). I think 'functions' works fairly well, but sounds rather mechanical. Most all Christians are used to 'persons' so I won't attempt to confuse anyone.
Thank you Abba Yahweh for this very interesting and encouraging video
Thank you for all these Rabbis
Your work is just amazing
Bad theology. "We know the existence of God through demonstration, but the existence of Thre Persons onlyu through Revelation". - Thomas Aquinas. The The Trinity is not found in ANY Jewish manuscript, or the Greek Bible. It is a 3rd century solution to a problem crated by asserting Jesus was God.
That is just wrong. th-cam.com/video/BNt5NKSse0Y/w-d-xo.html
Dr. Benjamin's Podcast is not on the website you have on your video. I searched and I am unable to find Dr. Sommer's podcast on the Internet.
The trinity is nowhere in the old testament.
Inyourdreams 😂
@@groundzero5708 it's not in the old testament and maby you should look into Benjamin Sommer he uses lose language but in truth the only place you can find an acceptance of not the trinity exactly but the principle that God can manifest as multiple persons, is only found in Jewish mysticism as in kabala
@@groundzero5708 Christianity is based on blind faith. Your narrative evolved and whatever the church fathers needed to add they added. All the gospels are from anonymous authers and the trinity makes no sense.
Haw do you know Jesus died on the Cross. The torture Jesus went through is not in the early manuscripts it was added to the story to strengthenthe narrative. Jesus was not tortured or beaten, had his legs broken. Ponctious Pilate had nothing against Jesus but was strong armed into doing what he did. There is no evidence he was nailed to a cross again this is a later addition and besides the normal roman practice was to tie the person with rope. Naw Jesus was just tied to a cross and he was up for haw long? Yes just a few hours. Just what exactly did he die of?
Your intire doctrine come from Paul who was not a desiple. His gospel was from dream interpretations but God know what he was into, if you read descriptions of said dreams. The mithraic cults dominating greek hight sosiaty had a very similar belief of salvation already and these people through there appoch to paganism had no problem with absorbing the superficial form of other beliefs and using "noble lies." Paul was stating what he heard from the desiples, so Paul claims. You have nothing accept claims from Paul and his followers all the other gospels where written by them. You dont actually know who wrote them but Jesus and his followers where not from Greece and spoke aramaic but somehaw all greek manuscripts. The early church fathers would lie and make up whatever they needed, to deal with critics or if they thought it should be added to boost the validity of there understanding and make it fit the old testament. This is a fact if you go through the history and see the evolution of the story things being added and look at why they where added.
Paul's himself gave the OK to lie in order to spread the gospel.
Read 1st corinthians 19-23 if you disagree then read the commentary by Clement of Alexander. Whatever your interpretation that is haw they understood it and that's all that counts.
I feel that you Christians only know what your leaders say about Islam. Look for your self. I'm not asking you to leave Jesus. Only to stop worshiping him and worship God the father.
Islam is ment for the end time so a least look at the major and minor signs of the end or the dajjal/Antichrist who will be known by one eye.
@@khanPK2N
Trintry is in OT
@@Somtejesstudios no its not. The most you can say is God manifest as a man but that's not the trinity and of course I will say it a curuption of the text but that's the most you can claim using the old testament.
