Why must sermons on the Trinity seem to always start with making fun of others misunderstandings? It's cheap laughs. I'll keep listening but it doesn't elevate the speaker .
@@jeanarmstrong4182 I don’t disagree with you, however, I do agree with Reeves’ point in that we as mere mortals trying to explain the attributes of God can seem quite inadequate. Perhaps he could have not ridiculed others’ misunderstandings and instead mentioned how we fail to describe what theologians often cite as one of the most difficult doctrines to teach. Nabeel Qureshi commented in one of his talks on the triunity of God that trying to start with the analogy and not leading with the definition leaves the analogy for wanting. He defined in that video the trinity as such “God is one in being and three in persons”. This begs the question, what’s the difference between a “being” and a “person”. Being is WHAT you are, person is WHO you are. I am glad that Reeves didn’t point out any particular names, as I have heard other preachers do when speaking this way. Speaking of elevating - hopefully listeners will see that the Word of God is elevated, and not man. This sermon, in my humble opinion, definitely glorified God. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the content. In Christ.
Indeed. This is the best explanation of our Holy Trinity I have ever had the delight to hear, and just really absorb the love. Thank you. So excellently done. This is a keeper and definitely a Sermon to share. A Blessing. God bless you. Amen ❤
The doctrine of the trinity is a doctrine of demons. It is idolatry. Please study the history of Christianity and prayerfully read your Bible and study what the first century Christians believed. What did Jesus actually believe? Matthew 12:28-34 - He believed as the Jews- He believes in one true God and He tells us this is the Father. Jesus did not tell the scribe that He was wrong, and that god is 'triune', instead He agreed with him!
@@jacobisrael2688 unsure of your reasoning behind the context you chose to use because the question in that text was about by whom/what authority Jesus cast out demons. Then it goes on to explain how you're either for Him or against Him. It's unfortunate how many times we have adopted terms and phrases for concepts and events described throughout Scripture and even History. Having said that, however, I believe it's important to take care we do not offend to the point of blasphemy either the Word of God or people who are influenced by our words and actions... I do caution you because to call the Trinity a 'doctrine of demons' smacks right up against such blasphemy! I do not now, nor will I ever agree that the Trinity or tri-unity of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit is doctrinally demonic. I do believe that you have been manipulated by or lied to by someone whom you hold dear or in great regard. Being led astray often happens in such a way, and it's sad to see when such a basic premise of the Christian Worldview has been chewed up and spewed out as heresy. Very sad, indeed. I do pray for your understanding to become unbound and unmanipulated so you are able to see The Truth regarding The Trinity and then fully experience the joy of being set free by the Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
A nice British accent, some British wit, a reference to the great Martin Luther, or anything else forged by human wisdom cannot validate the false doctrine of the Trinity. While God the Father is apart from The Son and separate from the Holy Spirit, the doctrine remains seriously flawed, for the simple reason that it is NOT AT ALL expressed explicitly in God's word, the Bible. Those who believe in God should be true philologists, and trues philologists abide by Deuteronomy 4:2 as well as Revelation 22:18-19. In any case, why should we followers of Christ impose on God a word which he does not utilize? And why are we so adamant to promote a concept of God that God Himself does not endorse? "I and the Father are one." "Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son." "The Father is greater than I." "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation."

God is one, and His name is Jesus. This is the great truth of the Bible, indeed, the greatest truth of all. Not the trinity. It is a false doctrine formulated from Greek philosophy and not the Hebrew Scriptures. All the “church fathers” post-1st century were Greek philosophers and did not know Hebrew at all. In fact, for over a thousand years in the Catholic Church, learning Hebrew was considered mystical and could get you killed. Why? Because then you could read and understand the Old Testament, and possibly arrive at a different conclusion than what the church was teaching, and that of course was a big no no. Jesus Christ is the one you must look upon. He alone is to be worshiped, because he alone is God.

We read this in, Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. The one that is speaking in Isaiah is Jesus Christ. I say that because first off, Jesus Christ is our Savior, secondly in the book of Hebrews we read this, Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. We can conclude from this that the Father made Jesus Christ to be our God from the beginning and if we don't understand that then we don't have the revelation of who our God is. All Creation is ascribed to the Son of God. John says this in, John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. All things were made by Jesus Christ and for Him. Jesus Christ is the Heir of all things, He is the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. Jesus is the only God anyone will ever see. No one comes to the Father but by the Son and no man knows the Father except the Son reveals Him because Christ is the revelation of the Father. Which He revealed in John 1:14. Jesus says to Phillip in the 14th chapter of John “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.” The Father’s God-ship and His Glory is in His Son as the combination of two natures both Natural and Spiritual, not three persons. If we take the father out of Christ the Jesus is no longer Christ and the doctrine becomes antichrist. God is one God in Christ, if I worship Christ I am worshiping the Father also. John says this in, 1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
*“There is but One LIVING and TRUE God. But we worship ONE TRIUNE GOD, neither CONFOUNDING the Persons, NOR DIVIDING the SUBSTANCES of the same. The eternal God has revealed HIMSELF as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost: but the GODHEAD of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is ONE GOD. In all worlds (in the Universes) the Triune Godhead has revealed Himself as Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. He rules in all worlds, for He has made them all. The earth is only one small footstool.”*
*“The Son is, and was the WORD from eternity (John 1:1). His TITLE always was “The WORD”, and until He was BORN on the earth (Isaiah 9:6). He was not known as the “Son” (of Man/God), but as “The WORD” only. He has been present in the creation of all the worlds and was and is the glory of the Father’s throne in this (and all) celestial kingdom(s). The Son of God is and always was divine. He is the expressed image of the Father. He was always One with the Father. He was truly the Word of God, the creative energy of the Almighty Jehovah. Without Him God (Head) did nothing. “Let Us make” (Gen.1:26) was an expression common in all the works and creations of God.”* *“The Holy Ghost is One with the Father and with the Son. Equal in eternity, power and glory. In creation He moved upon the face of the waters and developed form and beauty out of disorder and confusion. He proceeded from the Father and from the Son, and took up His abode with His Church on earth. He has ever been with them since His coming on Pentecost. He is the Comforter, Guide and SANCTIFIER of His people.”*
*“Your privileges, unbounded. Your capacities for pleasure and enjoyment are greatly enlarged since leaving the scenes of your earthly life. Everything here invites the fullest exercise of every faculty of your SOUL. YOUR CONDUCT WILL BE GOVERNED BY A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WILL. YOU WILL NEVER WISH TO DO ANYTHING YOURSELF CONTRARY TO WILL OF GOD.”* *“The LAW OF LOVE AND LIGHT IS LAW OF THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM. No one wishes to do anything here which would not be MORALLY right. There is no thought or suggestion by any one, of himself or another doing anything MORALLY wrong. You have found, no doubt, ere this that you have no inclinations within yourself or temptation from without to do any wrong thing. EVERYTHING THAT YOU FEEL INCLINED TO DO IS RIGHT, so far as moral right is concerned. YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS YET LIMITED. Whatever God approves and your knowledge comprehends you will approve from the INNERMOST DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL. HIS WILL BECOME LAW TO YOU. He never charges guilt upon any one here, for NO ONE IN ALL THIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM HAS ANY FEELINGS OR WISH TO DISOBEY. SIN IS NOT KNOWN HERE. That great curse of the earth is entirely banished from these street and mansions of the City;”*
God is love, yes, and neither is he bound by time. He can love someone who would be there in the future as intensely as if he was standing right next to him. So that's a philosophical argument Trinitarians make that is not founded in Scripture. There are lots of verses that talk about God's foreknowledge in terms of it already having happened.

Yeah great but can someone tell me where in the scriptures does it states God has always been a father . I didn’t see Michael Reeves reference that idea scripturally. It is just his idea . Its a very good concept but I can only see scriptural reference to his ETERNAL existence NOT his ETERNAL parenthood . Please help
He described it as a logical inference of Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, being eternally the Son of God. If the Son was eternally with the Father (e.g. John 1:1-3, Jesus' prayer in John 17, Heb 1 & 2, Prov 8, etc.), then consequently, the Father was eternally His Father, eternally begetting (Nicean Creed language) the Son.
I think he would agree we are like God when we forgive and show grace, just as He does to us in the Gospel (Jesus says as much in the Sermon on the Mount, which you are probably referencing). But that act, showing grace and forgiveness, is an outpouring of the character of a gracious God towards the undeserving sinner, it is something He chose to do (joyfully and wholeheartedly) in creation and redemption; while the act of loving the Son is foundational to the identity of God the Father. Loving the Son is who the Father is; forgiving with abounding grace through Christ is what this loving Father does.
Here’s your explanation : God existed before humanity’s “logic” came to be. God is outside of our human understanding, He is another realm, His own realm. so Newsflash: Watch it again.
So why are terms such as Father and Son used, if it’s outside of human logic? God would then forever remain a mystery and this quibbling about him being a trinity would be nothing more than silly trifles, like a dog chasing its tail. Is that what God wants us to be? Dogs chasing our tails?
The Lord gave Peter the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord said, the kingdom of heaven does not come with observation but it is within you. The Holy Ghost is the kingdom of God. Peter says this in, Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Reading the NT word for word, I have found 'GOD THE FATHER' THIRTY TIMES'! Wow! How many times did I find 'God the Son'? or/and 'God the Holy Spirit'? Oh dear! ZERO times! I asked myself "if the 'trinity' is the 'central doctrine of the Christian faith', then WHY cant I find a SINGLE definition of it? Since I have been arned by Paul at Acts 20:28-30 that "men would rrise & speak twisted things', I have decided to stick to th NT & not heed the explanations about God & Jesus that came well afterwards! I love the Word of God, not men!

Do you know why pastors do not want you to listen to the audio bible on your e devices? They want to control your inputs and thereby make you dependent. Matthew 23:13
The baptism of Jesus, something Trinitarians love to misuse. Jesus is God's only begotten Son, not the "eternal Son." When God spoke from heaven, he was announcing his pleasure in Jesus of Nazareth, his only begotten Son, and put his own Spirit upon him. The dove was a visible symbol of this, not person #3.
How can mere mortals be so arrogant as to try and 'define' or 'explain' the true nature of God! The biggest mistake that the 'church' made was to be 'dazzled' by the 'wisdom' & cleverness' of the 'church fathers' who mostly were educated & wealthy PHILOSOPHERS! Paul had warned the brothers Not to heed the 'philosophies of men' ( Col 2:8) Remember too that the apostles who gave us the NT were "Unlettered and ordinary men" They preached that there is just "One God & Father of all persons who is overall" (Eph 4:6) and that Jesus Christ was NOT 'God the son' ( no bible verse says this!) but the Son of God as John summed up in his gospel ( read John 20:31) Amen
Look there is no doubt that the FATHER, the SON & the HOLY SPIRIT are involved in our salvation! ( see Matt 28:19,20) But this is NOT the 'trinity'. For it to be true we need to find just ONE bible verse that states "There are three persons in One God" or "God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit". I will give £1000 to ANYONE who can find just ONE bible verse that clearly states this! no 'implications'!
There are no Bible verses that outright say that “there is one God who is three persons”. But the testimony of scripture in John 1, 17, Philippians 2, Matthew 28, Revelation 1, and other passages leads us to the Trinity. When we say God is three persons, we are saying that God has three centers of consciousness, not three separate beings. Being and person are separate. Rocks and sand have being, but not person. Person is characterized by consciousness, emotions, etc., all of which are shown in the three persons of the Trinity
@@Nathan-mf2yz This is total philosophy! Paul warned us against heeding it at (Col2:8). Also your illustration of 'rocks & sand' prove nothing! In fact the opposite! I ask you, where does sand come from? It comes from the breakdown OF rocks! without rocks there is NO sand! Anyway lets examine the bible passages you have mentioned. Lets start with John chapter 1. How does it porve the 'trinity'? Thanks.
@@Nathan-mf2yz Look! If a political party had a 'manifesto' would you not find it mentioned over and over again in their literature? Also if the 'trinity' is the CENTRAL DOCTRINE OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH then surely it could easily be found at least a number of times in the 'manual' of Christianity? Yet what do we find? a. Not one bible verse says 'trinity' Not one bible verse says 'God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit', and not one bible verse says 'There are three persons in one God'. Also, since the earliest Christians were the 'core' and 'backbone' of the faith, how come they became Christians, preached the 'word' and wrote about their faith, yet we read NOTHING of the 'trinity' till CETURIES later? (Read Jude 3 written in 55AD!) "The FAITH was delivered to the saints ONCE FOR ALL TIME."
@@kiwihans100 Although it has to be said that there is much mystery in the Person of God, it is quite plain that what has been revealed to us is a ‘Trinity’ in one God. Christians are baptised in the NAME of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Matt.28:19. The doctrine of the ‘Trinity’ - and it is a theological doctrine (and we would not necessarily expect to find the term in our Bibles), the truth of it has been attested down the ages and held by all reliable theologians and the Reformers. So why you would want to contest it is beyond me, unless you are one of those ‘nut jobs’ that bothers churches and congregations from time to time?
He's Christian. You can read his book, Delighting in the Trinity. Deals with the same topics touched on in this sermon, elaborated in more depth, from more Scriptures, and quoting more historical theologians as well.
Sorry, unpopular view here. I heard a nice sermon, but unfortunately, I did NOT hear a definitive explanation of the Trinity! And ya know why? Because it can't be explained, and for some reason, man hasn't figured that out yet. Still thinks he's able to understand God. That's dangerous ground to stand on. When it boils down to it, Christianity is a function of faith given to you as a gift, not the ability to convince through eloquent words. No more than you can contemplate infinity, or explain where sin originated.
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ. 1 Corinthians 2:16 True Christians can understand God, because they have His mind.
When God proclaims "your ways are not my ways..." in the book of Isiah, I just so happen to be one of those idiots that believe him. I understand that I know in part ,and prophecy in part, I trust God when he says to me that one day "I'll see him as he is" as now I can't since I live in a sin tainted body.
You're right! You can't. And for sure, no one can by nature. But if you were driving down the road and got 2 flat tires, got out of your vehicle, walked 3 miles to get help, came back to your vehicle with a mechanic only to find those tires inflated properly, even though you didn't witness anyone fixing them, wouldn't it be obvious someone was there?
The churchfathers couldn't figure out that the Father - who is a spirit ("God is a spirit") - is inside Jesus and is simply called "Holy Spirit" by Him (see the Jesus' sermon about the two blasphemies, directed to Son and Father). He helped Jesus in the desert and later when speaking. Thus no third person exists.
Matthew 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. John 10:36 “Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?” John 17:3 “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” Jesus is God’s son and not God himself. Philippians 2 tells us that he is “in nature God”, but partaking of the divine nature does not make him the same individual as God. They are separate identities. The Father is the only true God as Jesus said and Jesus is his begotten son who is divine in nature and existed with him before the world began just as John 1:1 says. The spirit is God’s spirit. It really is that simple. The trinity only obfuscates the truth and confuses people. Let us truly believe in sola scripture and cast aside creeds and dogmas. Scripture is sufficient to explain God. We don’t need unbiblical words like “Trinity” to explain God. God never called himself triune so we should not.
The trinity distorts the gospel, has nothing to do with the gospel as described in the Bible. This guy tries hard to make his trinity god define the gospel of our God by falsehood in nearly every statement he made. Truly amazing.
Verse 4 uses the greek ; ὁρισθέντος horisthentos. which means to 'designate' to 'assign' to 'declare'. It suggests an authority BESTOWING a priviledge or honour on another ( Like Pete's words at Pentecost that Christ RECEIVED the Holy Spirit from God" Acts 2:33 and Jesus own admission that "All authority has been GIVEN me" Matt 28:18). Thus Rom 1:1-4 in NO WAY proves the 'trinity' in fact quite the OPPOSITE!. Just read Paul's further intros to his epistles; "Blessed be the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ". Eph 1:3. 2 Cor 1:3. Col 1:3. ( Also 1 Pet 1:3) Even Revelation 1:6 "His God and Father". Jesus Father is his GOD! There is NO 'trinity' its FALSE!
Man’s Trinitarian definition of God is a third century, low resolution, overlay on scripture. God’s definition of God is; “I am (a single person) the God OF Abraham, the God OF Isaac, the God OF Jacob”, the God OF all Israel. Jesus was OF Israel, son OF David, OF the tribe of Judah. Thus the God of Israel, the Most High God, is the God of Jesus. Who is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Father of Glory (Ephesians 1:17). Not because he is God_the Father, where “the_Father” identifies what person of “God_the Triune” you are talking about, but because: “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”. From this day onwards the “God of Israel” is referred to as “The God (and Father) of our Lord Jesus Christ”, (2 Corinthians 11:31, Ephesians 1:3, 1 Peter 1:3), because he is now a Father, who has a Son.
A nice British accent, some British wit, a reference to the great Martin Luther, or anything else forged by human wisdom cannot validate the false doctrine of the Trinity. While God the Father is apart from The Son and separate from the Holy Spirit, the doctrine remains seriously flawed, for the simple reason that it is NOT AT ALL expressed explicitly in God's word, the Bible. Those who believe in God should be true philologists, and trues philologists abide by Deuteronomy 4:2 as well as Revelation 22:18-19. In any case, why should we followers of Christ impose on God a word which he does not utilize? And why are we so adamant to promote a concept of God that God Himself does not endorse? "I and the Father are one." "Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son." "The Father is greater than I." "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation."
What a load of deceptive waffle. He twists Paul's message to try and extract 'three'- and then claims God is 'triune'. Why does he not try and make the gospel fit the actual definition of the trinity as commonly cited in the creeds? Because he cannot- and it becomes a 'philosophical headache', to use his own words. The 'triune god' is a nonsense. He has made an idol of something which does not exist and which has been fabricated by heathen concepts creeping into the true gospel. Jesus has a God- His Father. Jesus said His Father is greater than Him. Jesus is not omniscient. If He is fully God, as in equal to the Father, then He must be omniscient. Jesus said He is not God: John 7:16. We have one God the Father 1Cor 8:6. Eternal life is to believe in the one true God the Father and Jesus Christ John 17:3 Yes, we can call Jesus 'God', but He is subordinate to the Father. His sole purpose is to glorify His Father. Please wake up, people, and stop adding to the Bible. See if you can answer this simple question- it's easy for anyone who is a true believer and sees the doctrine of the trinity for the false doctrine that it is.: Who is the Most High God?
@@TheCaledonianBoy Around 90% Christians worship trinity. Then you got 1.2 billion Catholics worshipping Mary every day. The whole damn religion is false
Jesus told satan. It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" (Luke 4:8). Just listen to who Jesus claimed to be. Not the church or Paul. But Jesus. Jesus claimed to be the Son of man, our messiah.
Indeed, the Son of Man who was to go to the Ancient of Days, and receive the kingdom and all authority over all nations, and be worshipped and praised and honored by every people and nation, having received an everlasting kingdom (Dan 7:13-14). Jesus Himself prays to receive from the Father the glory He had before the world was (John 17). So yes, the Son of Man is the Son of God, and the pharisees who heard Jesus understood this was his meaning (John 10:22-38). Blessings
@@bisto_qcj John 17:5 is God's foreknowledge of the suffering servant and his subsequent glorification, before the world ever came to be. It is NOT talking about two divine persons standing next to each other before the world was. And you can prove that Scripturally.
God the Father is not one of three distinct divine persons. God the Father is a unipersonal Spirit, who "came down from heaven" _without leaving heaven,_ and who manifested himself on earth in genuine human form - as his own Son, "the only begotten Son of God" - so that he could lay down his own life for us.

How can you preach this that it is of god when Trinity the word Trinity is not even in the Bible anywhere not one single time and you were preaching that it is a trinity you are false doctrine.
So you can preach what is not in the Bible and it's okay by you to be Bible what a deceived and lost soul the Bible is your direction to be saved to live life and be like Christ but yet you're willing to take something that is not in the Bible and say it is that's considered deception and not very smart just think about seriously we have to go by the Bible
The Bible makes its clear that the greatest of all beings in the Universe is God. It states there is one God, that He is eternal and that there was never a god before Him neither shall there be one after Him. The Bible makes it clear through progressive revelation over 1500 years of authorship this one eternal being is of one essence but contains three distinct independent beings not just modes. Each has a role and work to do. There is no jealousy, competition or difference in divinity. These ideas and more have been encapsulated in a book inspired by the Spirit Himself - the Bible. Christians (Tertullian was the first) have adopted one word to bring all this and more to mind - Trinity Christian doctrine is full of single words that are non Biblical but bring to mind large and complex ideas. The word Trinity may not be in the Bible but 99% of all true Christians will recognise instantly what you are talking about when you use this word.
I’ll have to listen to this again. again. again.
This is the best, most accessible, explanation of the Trinity I have ever come across. Thank you!
Why must sermons on the Trinity seem to always start with making fun of others misunderstandings? It's cheap laughs. I'll keep listening but it doesn't elevate the speaker .
I agree with both of your statements
@@jeanarmstrong4182 I don’t disagree with you, however, I do agree with Reeves’ point in that we as mere mortals trying to explain the attributes of God can seem quite inadequate. Perhaps he could have not ridiculed others’ misunderstandings and instead mentioned how we fail to describe what theologians often cite as one of the most difficult doctrines to teach. Nabeel Qureshi commented in one of his talks on the triunity of God that trying to start with the analogy and not leading with the definition leaves the analogy for wanting. He defined in that video the trinity as such “God is one in being and three in persons”. This begs the question, what’s the difference between a “being” and a “person”. Being is WHAT you are, person is WHO you are. I am glad that Reeves didn’t point out any particular names, as I have heard other preachers do when speaking this way. Speaking of elevating - hopefully listeners will see that the Word of God is elevated, and not man. This sermon, in my humble opinion, definitely glorified God. I hope you enjoyed the rest of the content. In Christ.

The doctrine of the trinity is a doctrine of demons. It is idolatry. Please study the history of Christianity and prayerfully read your Bible and study what the first century Christians believed. What did Jesus actually believe? Matthew 12:28-34 - He believed as the Jews- He believes in one true God and He tells us this is the Father. Jesus did not tell the scribe that He was wrong, and that god is 'triune', instead He agreed with him!
@@jacobisrael2688 unsure of your reasoning behind the context you chose to use because the question in that text was about by whom/what authority Jesus cast out demons. Then it goes on to explain how you're either for Him or against Him. It's unfortunate how many times we have adopted terms and phrases for concepts and events described throughout Scripture and even History. Having said that, however, I believe it's important to take care we do not offend to the point of blasphemy either the Word of God or people who are influenced by our words and actions... I do caution you because to call the Trinity a 'doctrine of demons' smacks right up against such blasphemy! I do not now, nor will I ever agree that the Trinity or tri-unity of The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit is doctrinally demonic. I do believe that you have been manipulated by or lied to by someone whom you hold dear or in great regard. Being led astray often happens in such a way, and it's sad to see when such a basic premise of the Christian Worldview has been chewed up and spewed out as heresy. Very sad, indeed. I do pray for your understanding to become unbound and unmanipulated so you are able to see The Truth regarding The Trinity and then fully experience the joy of being set free by the Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
I absolutely love his teaching, thank you Jesus for this ministry. Life changing! Makes me want to weep for joy!
Great teacher and teaching of God's Great Love !!❤
A nice British accent, some British wit, a reference to the great Martin Luther, or anything else forged by human wisdom cannot validate the false doctrine of the Trinity. While God the Father is apart from The Son and separate from the Holy Spirit, the doctrine remains seriously flawed, for the simple reason that it is NOT AT ALL expressed explicitly in God's word, the Bible. Those who believe in God should be true philologists, and trues philologists abide by Deuteronomy 4:2 as well as Revelation 22:18-19. In any case, why should we followers of Christ impose on God a word which he does not utilize? And why are we so adamant to promote a concept of God that God Himself does not endorse? "I and the Father are one." "Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son." "The Father is greater than I." "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation."

@@suzannemcmaken4648 Yes, with repentance
God is one, and His name is Jesus. This is the great truth of the Bible, indeed, the greatest truth of all.
Not the trinity. It is a false doctrine formulated from Greek philosophy and not the Hebrew Scriptures. All the “church fathers” post-1st century were Greek philosophers and did not know Hebrew at all. In fact, for over a thousand years in the Catholic Church, learning Hebrew was considered mystical and could get you killed. Why? Because then you could read and understand the Old Testament, and possibly arrive at a different conclusion than what the church was teaching, and that of course was a big no no.
Jesus Christ is the one you must look upon. He alone is to be worshiped, because he alone is God.

Hebrew,,,
We read this in, Isaiah 43:10 Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me. Isaiah 43:11 I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour. The one that is speaking in Isaiah is Jesus Christ. I say that because first off, Jesus Christ is our Savior, secondly in the book of Hebrews we read this, Hebrews 1:6 And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him. Heb 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. We can conclude from this that the Father made Jesus Christ to be our God from the beginning and if we don't understand that then we don't have the revelation of who our God is. All Creation is ascribed to the Son of God. John says this in, John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. All things were made by Jesus Christ and for Him. Jesus Christ is the Heir of all things, He is the God of the Old Testament and the God of the New Testament. Jesus is the only God anyone will ever see. No one comes to the Father but by the Son and no man knows the Father except the Son reveals Him because Christ is the revelation of the Father. Which He revealed in John 1:14. Jesus says to Phillip in the 14th chapter of John “If you have seen me you have seen the Father.” The Father’s God-ship and His Glory is in His Son as the combination of two natures both Natural and Spiritual, not three persons. If we take the father out of Christ the Jesus is no longer Christ and the doctrine becomes antichrist. God is one God in Christ, if I worship Christ I am worshiping the Father also. John says this in, 1Jn 2:23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.

*“There is but One LIVING and TRUE God. But we worship ONE TRIUNE GOD, neither CONFOUNDING the Persons, NOR DIVIDING the SUBSTANCES of the same. The eternal God has revealed HIMSELF as Father, Son and Holy Ghost. For there is one Person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Ghost: but the GODHEAD of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost is ONE GOD. In all worlds (in the Universes) the Triune Godhead has revealed Himself as Father, Son and the Holy Ghost. He rules in all worlds, for He has made them all. The earth is only one small footstool.”*
*“The Son is, and was the WORD from eternity (John 1:1). His TITLE always was “The WORD”, and until He was BORN on the earth (Isaiah 9:6). He was not known as the “Son” (of Man/God), but as “The WORD” only. He has been present in the creation of all the worlds and was and is the glory of the Father’s throne in this (and all) celestial kingdom(s). The Son of God is and always was divine. He is the expressed image of the Father. He was always One with the Father. He was truly the Word of God, the creative energy of the Almighty Jehovah. Without Him God (Head) did nothing. “Let Us make” (Gen.1:26) was an expression common in all the works and creations of God.”*
*“The Holy Ghost is One with the Father and with the Son. Equal in eternity, power and glory. In creation He moved upon the face of the waters and developed form and beauty out of disorder and confusion. He proceeded from the Father and from the Son, and took up His abode with His Church on earth. He has ever been with them since His coming on Pentecost. He is the Comforter, Guide and SANCTIFIER of His people.”*
*“Your privileges, unbounded. Your capacities for pleasure and enjoyment are greatly enlarged since leaving the scenes of your earthly life. Everything here invites the fullest exercise of every faculty of your SOUL. YOUR CONDUCT WILL BE GOVERNED BY A KNOWLEDGE OF GOD’S WILL. YOU WILL NEVER WISH TO DO ANYTHING YOURSELF CONTRARY TO WILL OF GOD.”*
*“The LAW OF LOVE AND LIGHT IS LAW OF THE HEAVENLY KINGDOM. No one wishes to do anything here which would not be MORALLY right. There is no thought or suggestion by any one, of himself or another doing anything MORALLY wrong. You have found, no doubt, ere this that you have no inclinations within yourself or temptation from without to do any wrong thing. EVERYTHING THAT YOU FEEL INCLINED TO DO IS RIGHT, so far as moral right is concerned. YOUR KNOWLEDGE IS YET LIMITED. Whatever God approves and your knowledge comprehends you will approve from the INNERMOST DEPTHS OF YOUR SOUL. HIS WILL BECOME LAW TO YOU. He never charges guilt upon any one here, for NO ONE IN ALL THIS HEAVENLY KINGDOM HAS ANY FEELINGS OR WISH TO DISOBEY. SIN IS NOT KNOWN HERE. That great curse of the earth is entirely banished from these street and mansions of the City;”*
God is love, yes, and neither is he bound by time. He can love someone who would be there in the future as intensely as if he was standing right next to him. So that's a philosophical argument Trinitarians make that is not founded in Scripture. There are lots of verses that talk about God's foreknowledge in terms of it already having happened.

Yeah great but can someone tell me where in the scriptures does it states God has always been a father . I didn’t see Michael Reeves reference that idea scripturally. It is just his idea . Its a very good concept but I can only see scriptural reference to his ETERNAL existence NOT his ETERNAL parenthood . Please help
He described it as a logical inference of Jesus Christ, the second Person of the Trinity, being eternally the Son of God. If the Son was eternally with the Father (e.g. John 1:1-3, Jesus' prayer in John 17, Heb 1 & 2, Prov 8, etc.), then consequently, the Father was eternally His Father, eternally begetting (Nicean Creed language) the Son.

I thought we are most like God when we forgive our enemies?
I think he would agree we are like God when we forgive and show grace, just as He does to us in the Gospel (Jesus says as much in the Sermon on the Mount, which you are probably referencing). But that act, showing grace and forgiveness, is an outpouring of the character of a gracious God towards the undeserving sinner, it is something He chose to do (joyfully and wholeheartedly) in creation and redemption; while the act of loving the Son is foundational to the identity of God the Father. Loving the Son is who the Father is; forgiving with abounding grace through Christ is what this loving Father does.
Here’s a news flash using your logic at 7:37. To be a father you have to have a mother who produced your offspring. Where is Jesus eternal mother?
Here’s your explanation : God existed before humanity’s “logic” came to be. God is outside of our human understanding, He is another realm, His own realm. so Newsflash: Watch it again.
So why are terms such as Father and Son used, if it’s outside of human logic? God would then forever remain a mystery and this quibbling about him being a trinity would be nothing more than silly trifles, like a dog chasing its tail.
Is that what God wants us to be? Dogs chasing our tails?
The Lord gave Peter the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. The Lord said, the kingdom of heaven does not come with observation but it is within you. The Holy Ghost is the kingdom of God. Peter says this in, Act 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do? Act 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Act 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Act 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation.
Reading the NT word for word, I have found 'GOD THE FATHER' THIRTY TIMES'! Wow! How many times did I find 'God the Son'? or/and 'God the Holy Spirit'? Oh dear! ZERO times! I asked myself "if the 'trinity' is the 'central doctrine of the Christian faith', then WHY cant I find a SINGLE definition of it? Since I have been arned by Paul at Acts 20:28-30 that "men would rrise & speak twisted things', I have decided to stick to th NT & not heed the explanations about God & Jesus that came well afterwards! I love the Word of God, not men!

The baptism of Jesus, something Trinitarians love to misuse.
Jesus is God's only begotten Son, not the "eternal Son." When God spoke from heaven, he was announcing his pleasure in Jesus of Nazareth, his only begotten Son, and put his own Spirit upon him. The dove was a visible symbol of this, not person #3.
How can mere mortals be so arrogant as to try and 'define' or 'explain' the true nature of God! The biggest mistake that the 'church' made was to be 'dazzled' by the 'wisdom' & cleverness' of the 'church fathers' who mostly were educated & wealthy PHILOSOPHERS! Paul had warned the brothers Not to heed the 'philosophies of men' ( Col 2:8) Remember too that the apostles who gave us the NT were "Unlettered and ordinary men" They preached that there is just "One God & Father of all persons who is overall" (Eph 4:6) and that Jesus Christ was NOT 'God the son' ( no bible verse says this!) but the Son of God as John summed up in his gospel ( read John 20:31) Amen
I suspect this man was influenced by the Australian Forum
Look there is no doubt that the FATHER, the SON & the HOLY SPIRIT are involved in our salvation! ( see Matt 28:19,20) But this is NOT the 'trinity'. For it to be true we need to find just ONE bible verse that states "There are three persons in One God" or "God the Father, God the Son & God the Holy Spirit". I will give £1000 to ANYONE who can find just ONE bible verse that clearly states this! no 'implications'!
There are no Bible verses that outright say that “there is one God who is three persons”. But the testimony of scripture in John 1, 17, Philippians 2, Matthew 28, Revelation 1, and other passages leads us to the Trinity. When we say God is three persons, we are saying that God has three centers of consciousness, not three separate beings. Being and person are separate. Rocks and sand have being, but not person. Person is characterized by consciousness, emotions, etc., all of which are shown in the three persons of the Trinity
@@Nathan-mf2yz This is total philosophy! Paul warned us against heeding it at (Col2:8). Also your illustration of 'rocks & sand' prove nothing! In fact the opposite! I ask you, where does sand come from? It comes from the breakdown OF rocks! without rocks there is NO sand! Anyway lets examine the bible passages you have mentioned. Lets start with John chapter 1. How does it porve the 'trinity'? Thanks.
@@Nathan-mf2yz Look! If a political party had a 'manifesto' would you not find it mentioned over and over again in their literature? Also if the 'trinity' is the CENTRAL DOCTRINE OF THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH then surely it could easily be found at least a number of times in the 'manual' of Christianity? Yet what do we find? a. Not one bible verse says 'trinity' Not one bible verse says 'God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit', and not one bible verse says 'There are three persons in one God'. Also, since the earliest Christians were the 'core' and 'backbone' of the faith, how come they became Christians, preached the 'word' and wrote about their faith, yet we read NOTHING of the 'trinity' till CETURIES later? (Read Jude 3 written in 55AD!) "The FAITH was delivered to the saints ONCE FOR ALL TIME."

Although it has to be said that there is much mystery in the Person of God, it is quite plain that what has been revealed to us is a ‘Trinity’ in one God. Christians are baptised in the NAME of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit Matt.28:19. The doctrine of the ‘Trinity’ - and it is a theological doctrine (and we would not necessarily expect to find the term in our Bibles), the truth of it has been attested down the ages and held by all reliable theologians and the Reformers. So why you would want to contest it is beyond me, unless you are one of those ‘nut jobs’ that bothers churches and congregations from time to time?
I can't tell whether or not you're Catholic or Christian. Which one are you?
He's Christian. You can read his book, Delighting in the Trinity. Deals with the same topics touched on in this sermon, elaborated in more depth, from more Scriptures, and quoting more historical theologians as well.
Sorry, unpopular view here. I heard a nice sermon, but unfortunately, I did NOT hear a definitive explanation of the Trinity! And ya know why? Because it can't be explained, and for some reason, man hasn't figured that out yet. Still thinks he's able to understand God. That's dangerous ground to stand on. When it boils down to it, Christianity is a function of faith given to you as a gift, not the ability to convince through eloquent words. No more than you can contemplate infinity, or explain where sin originated.
“For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16
True Christians can understand God, because they have His mind.
When God proclaims "your ways are not my ways..." in the book of Isiah, I just so happen to be one of those idiots that believe him. I understand that I know in part ,and prophecy in part, I trust God when he says to me that one day "I'll see him as he is" as now I can't since I live in a sin tainted body.
@@AMessengerofTruth True Christian has the Holy Spirit to help them to understand
How can you worship what you don’t see?
You're right! You can't. And for sure, no one can by nature. But if you were driving down the road and got 2 flat tires, got out of your vehicle, walked 3 miles to get help, came back to your vehicle with a mechanic only to find those tires inflated properly, even though you didn't witness anyone fixing them, wouldn't it be obvious someone was there?
The churchfathers couldn't figure out that the Father - who is a spirit ("God is a spirit") - is inside Jesus and is simply called "Holy Spirit" by Him (see the Jesus' sermon about the two blasphemies, directed to Son and Father). He helped Jesus in the desert and later when speaking. Thus no third person exists.
Matthew 3:17
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
John 10:36
“Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?”
John 17:3
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
Jesus is God’s son and not God himself. Philippians 2 tells us that he is “in nature God”, but partaking of the divine nature does not make him the same individual as God. They are separate identities. The Father is the only true God as Jesus said and Jesus is his begotten son who is divine in nature and existed with him before the world began just as John 1:1 says. The spirit is God’s spirit. It really is that simple.
The trinity only obfuscates the truth and confuses people. Let us truly believe in sola scripture and cast aside creeds and dogmas. Scripture is sufficient to explain God. We don’t need unbiblical words like “Trinity” to explain God. God never called himself triune so we should not.
Lord and God are Yahweh's name for Baal ,,, Hmmm 🤔 ?
The trinity distorts the gospel, has nothing to do with the gospel as described in the Bible. This guy tries hard to make his trinity god define the gospel of our God by falsehood in nearly every statement he made. Truly amazing.
Verse 4 uses the greek ; ὁρισθέντος horisthentos. which means to 'designate' to 'assign' to 'declare'. It suggests an authority BESTOWING a priviledge or honour on another ( Like Pete's words at Pentecost that Christ RECEIVED the Holy Spirit from God" Acts 2:33 and Jesus own admission that "All authority has been GIVEN me" Matt 28:18). Thus Rom 1:1-4 in NO WAY proves the 'trinity' in fact quite the OPPOSITE!. Just read Paul's further intros to his epistles; "Blessed be the God and Father OF our Lord Jesus Christ". Eph 1:3. 2 Cor 1:3. Col 1:3. ( Also 1 Pet 1:3) Even Revelation 1:6 "His God and Father". Jesus Father is his GOD! There is NO 'trinity' its FALSE!
Man’s Trinitarian definition of God is a third century, low resolution, overlay on scripture.
God’s definition of God is; “I am (a single person) the God OF Abraham, the God OF Isaac, the God OF Jacob”, the God OF all Israel. Jesus was OF Israel, son OF David, OF the tribe of Judah. Thus the God of Israel, the Most High God, is the God of Jesus. Who is the God of our Lord Jesus Christ? The Father of Glory (Ephesians 1:17). Not because he is God_the Father, where “the_Father” identifies what person of “God_the Triune” you are talking about, but because:
“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord”. From this day onwards the “God of Israel” is referred to as “The God (and Father) of our Lord Jesus Christ”, (2 Corinthians 11:31, Ephesians 1:3, 1 Peter 1:3), because he is now a Father, who has a Son.
A nice British accent, some British wit, a reference to the great Martin Luther, or anything else forged by human wisdom cannot validate the false doctrine of the Trinity. While God the Father is apart from The Son and separate from the Holy Spirit, the doctrine remains seriously flawed, for the simple reason that it is NOT AT ALL expressed explicitly in God's word, the Bible. Those who believe in God should be true philologists, and trues philologists abide by Deuteronomy 4:2 as well as Revelation 22:18-19. In any case, why should we followers of Christ impose on God a word which he does not utilize? And why are we so adamant to promote a concept of God that God Himself does not endorse? "I and the Father are one." "Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son." "The Father is greater than I." "The Son is the image of the invisible God, the Firstborn over all creation."
What a load of deceptive waffle. He twists Paul's message to try and extract 'three'- and then claims God is 'triune'. Why does he not try and make the gospel fit the actual definition of the trinity as commonly cited in the creeds? Because he cannot- and it becomes a 'philosophical headache', to use his own words. The 'triune god' is a nonsense. He has made an idol of something which does not exist and which has been fabricated by heathen concepts creeping into the true gospel. Jesus has a God- His Father. Jesus said His Father is greater than Him. Jesus is not omniscient. If He is fully God, as in equal to the Father, then He must be omniscient. Jesus said He is not God: John 7:16. We have one God the Father 1Cor 8:6. Eternal life is to believe in the one true God the Father and Jesus Christ John 17:3 Yes, we can call Jesus 'God', but He is subordinate to the Father. His sole purpose is to glorify His Father. Please wake up, people, and stop adding to the Bible. See if you can answer this simple question- it's easy for anyone who is a true believer and sees the doctrine of the trinity for the false doctrine that it is.: Who is the Most High God?
Why does this have to be about reformers? Why can’t you say believers in the lord why divide the body??
Christianity is false. My channel debunks Christianity and that pagan trinity.
@JesusisaMuslim Christianity is the true religion. The trinity is false.
@@TheCaledonianBoy
Around 90% Christians worship trinity. Then you got 1.2 billion Catholics worshipping Mary every day. The whole damn religion is false
Nonsense! People who try too hard reveal their weakness!
Jesus told satan. It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.'" (Luke 4:8). Just listen to who Jesus claimed to be. Not the church or Paul. But Jesus. Jesus claimed to be the Son of man, our messiah.
You are a Heretic... Don't separate Jesus from Church and Paul. Christ loved the Church and died for it. Christ revealed himself to Paul....
Indeed, the Son of Man who was to go to the Ancient of Days, and receive the kingdom and all authority over all nations, and be worshipped and praised and honored by every people and nation, having received an everlasting kingdom (Dan 7:13-14). Jesus Himself prays to receive from the Father the glory He had before the world was (John 17). So yes, the Son of Man is the Son of God, and the pharisees who heard Jesus understood this was his meaning (John 10:22-38).

@@bisto_qcj John 17:5 is God's foreknowledge of the suffering servant and his subsequent glorification, before the world ever came to be. It is NOT talking about two divine persons standing next to each other before the world was. And you can prove that Scripturally.
RUBBISH!!! What about the 18 verses in the OT and 10 in the NT that allude to Beside me there is no God.
God the Father is not one of three distinct divine persons. God the Father is a unipersonal Spirit, who "came down from heaven" _without leaving heaven,_ and who manifested himself on earth in genuine human form - as his own Son, "the only begotten Son of God" - so that he could lay down his own life for us.
And this unipersonal Spirit - God the Father - revealed his name to be the name which is above _every_ name: *JESUS.*
@@bosse641
JESUS *_is_* JEHOVAH. And his God and Father.......is none other than himself.
*REVELATION 22:16 (KJV)*
*I JESUS* have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. *I am the ROOT **_and_** the OFFSPRING of David,* and the bright and morning star.
1. One who _succeeds_ David in a genealogy *is the SON of* one who _precedes_ David in that genealogy.
2. The offspring of David _succeeds_ David.
3. The root of David _precedes_ David.
4. Therefore, the offspring of David *is the SON of* the root of David.
5. The offspring of David is JESUS.
6. The root of David is JESUS.
7. Therefore, JESUS *is the SON of* JESUS; that is, JESUS is _his own_ Father (God the Father), and _his own_ Son (the Son of God).
_Revelation......._
Can you give me a verse FROM JESUS' words where He calls himself the Son of God?

Is John 10:36 what you're looking for?
@@bosse641
God the Father "coming down from heaven" _without leaving heaven,_ and manifesting himself on earth in genuine human form, as his own Son, and *laying down his own life for us* is not "messed up nonsense". It's actually *love.* *_Self-sacrificial_* *love.*
Where is the self-sacrificial love of the Unitarian "Father"? It doesn't exist. Same with the Trinitarian "Father".
@John Grytbakk your Theology is shipwrecked.
How can you preach this that it is of god when Trinity the word Trinity is not even in the Bible anywhere not one single time and you were preaching that it is a trinity you are false doctrine.
A word doesn’t have to be in the Bible for it to be biblical.
Even bible is not in the Bible.
You sound like a JW
So you can preach what is not in the Bible and it's okay by you to be Bible what a deceived and lost soul the Bible is your direction to be saved to live life and be like Christ but yet you're willing to take something that is not in the Bible and say it is that's considered deception and not very smart just think about seriously we have to go by the Bible
@@rickeyperry7059 the word Bible is not in the Bible, so how can you tell me to read the Bible if the word bible isn’t even in there!
The Bible makes its clear that the greatest of all beings in the Universe is God. It states there is one God, that He is eternal and that there was never a god before Him neither shall there be one after Him.
The Bible makes it clear through progressive revelation over 1500 years of authorship this one eternal being is of one essence but contains three distinct independent beings not just modes. Each has a role and work to do. There is no jealousy, competition or difference in divinity.
These ideas and more have been encapsulated in a book inspired by the Spirit Himself - the Bible.
Christians (Tertullian was the first) have adopted one word to bring all this and more to mind - Trinity
Christian doctrine is full of single words that are non Biblical but bring to mind large and complex ideas.
The word Trinity may not be in the Bible but 99% of all true Christians will recognise instantly what you are talking about when you use this word.
Amen.❤
