A
Why doesn’t somebody …
produce an itty-bitty scrap of an old manuscript (or old Bible)
that is missing Trinity information found in our Bibles today:
10+ verses … each of which mentions all 3 Persons of the Trinity.
70+ more verses … teach Jesus is God, is equal to Father God, is the Creator
of all things, is the Sustainer of all things now, is the Giver of eternal life, etc.
10+ more verses ... teach the Holy Spirit is part of the Triune Godhead.
For 1700 years, the Muslims have been hunting unsuccessfully for evidence.
Guess what, folks, these verses have always been there.
Non-believers need to prove otherwise
Opinions just do not count for anything in this business!
Spiritual truth does not come through the intellect, education, reasoning, etc.
Clearing up some things about what Jesus said (and did not say)
1) He taught in parables so many would NOT understand Him (Mark 4:34, Luke 8:10).
2) He hinted somewhat at His divinity … and He had several good reasons for this.
3) He told people (who knew who He really was) to NOT tell anyone else:
He wouldn't let demons say who he was (Mark 1:23-25, 1:34, 3:11-12).
He healed people, but told them not to tell anyone (Mt 8:1-4, Mk 1:40-44, Lk 5:12-15).
He told his disciples, but said to keep it a secret (Mt 16:20, Mk 8:29-30, Lk 9:20-21).
4) He told His disciples about the Trinity so His words would be recorded later.
5) He did NOT talk about the Trinity to the general unsaved population.
As in the Old Covenant, anyone teaching this would be called a crazy person.
But, some believe in it through blind faith (having been born into Christianity).
Others probably need a spiritual revelation from God to believe in it …
some “Christians” see the verses, but somehow don’t believe them!
(6) Jesus warned some of the Pharisees in the temple:
“… if you do not believe that I AM (God), you will die in your sins.” (John 8:24)
Concerning what Paul said
Paul was writing to the churches (full of saved people) so he could be more open.
A) Jesus is God (or is equal to Father God):
... Romans 9:5, Philippians 2:10-11, Titus 2:13, Hebrews 1:8-13.
B) Jesus is the Creator of all things:
... 1 Corinthians 8:6, Ephesians 3:9, Colossians 1:16, Hebrews 1:2 & 1:10-11
C) Jesus is the Sustainer of all things now: Colossian 1:17, Hebrews 1:3
D) Jesus is the exact image, representation, etc. of Father God:
... 2 Corinthians 4:4, Philippians 2:6, Colossians 1:15-19, 2:9, 1 Timothy 3:16, Hebrews 1:3
E) Jesus is “the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him” (Hebrews 5:9)
F) He used titles for Jesus that were used for God in the OT:
... Lord of glory (1 Cor 2:8), Rock (1 Cor 10:4), Savior (Titus 2:13), Redeemer (Gal 3:13)
G) He said everyone’s knee shall bow and their tongues confess to Jesus (Phil 2:7-11),
and this was said of God in the OT (Isaiah 45:22-23).
Beyond all of the above
Many millions of born-again Christians around the world have the Holy Spirit
“in” them … teaching them “all things” (John 14:16-26, etc.).
These millions have NOT experienced God telling them the Trinity is untrue.
God has called and anointed thousands of evangelists to spread His gospel
around the world and their gospel tracts have the Trinity imbedded in them.
