------------For the General Audience. We have so much error rampant through this forum. Hopefully every believer listens.------------
The concept of the trinity was finalized at the First Council of Nicaea in 325 after years of debate.
The Roman Catholic Church was a major influence for many years so the belief of a trinity was a major belief among the people, and it drifted to the Protestant movement that went by it for they did not weed out all the falsehood.
There are some churches that claim to be the true Church, but they have a belief that is not part of the Bible and it becomes their foundation for the interpreting of scriptures.
Joseph Smith had a belief that was not part of the Bible, and it became his foundation for the interpreting of scriptures, which is the Mormon church.
Scientology, Christian Science, new age movement, among others the same thing which they have a nature based foundation, and the new age movement is the reason that the world rebels against God which he will then end sin on earth(1 Timothy 4:1-5; 2 Timothy 4:2-4).
When the New Age Christ starts working in the world he will push the agenda of the new age movement which he will think to change times and laws, and things will change drastically.
It is obvious when the Roman Empire embraced Christianity they did not get rid of their pagan, and occult ways, and it became their foundation for the interpreting of scriptures.
The pagan religions have a trinity so they had a trinity.
The pagan religions have a female deity so they have a female deity, Mary who they call the Queen of heaven.
That is why they call the Pope holy father, but Jesus is the head of the Church, and He said to a man why do you call me good for there is only one who is good and that is God which the man Christ Jesus was giving glory to God that He does good because God causes Him to do good, and He said call no man on earth father which would be in a spiritual sense for only God is your Father which the Pope claims to operate in a spiritual sense so you cannot call him father.
But the Roman Catholic Church likes to exalt people like Peter claiming him as the first Pope which he was not for they interpret some scriptures wrongly.
That is why they do the things they do for they are like a pagan religion interpreting scriptures.
Also because their foundation is pagan, and of the occult, they can sway to go along with the world as it changes which is what will happen when the new Pope, and Vatican, go along with the new age movement interpretation of the Bible, and support the New Age Christ.
Which they become Mystery Babylon for they will represent all the false religions interpreted by the new age movement, and the Pope becomes the head of the unified religious system, and the Vatican the headquarters.
Which is why Pope Francis elected 72% of the Cardinals so they would be in the majority position to elect the new Pope who will go along with the new age movement.
1Co 8:6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him.
Eph 4:6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
The Bible only attributes the Father as God and does not say a trinity.
When the Bible says one God it means one God.
Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
The Son shall be called the everlasting Father for there is one deity the Father.
Joh 14:7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
Joh 14:8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Joh 14:9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father?
Joh 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Jesus told Philip if he has seen Him then he has seen the Father, for Jesus is God manifest in the flesh and their is one deity the Father.
Rev 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him:
There is one throne in heaven, and one who sits on the throne, which is the throne of God and the Lamb, God in the glorified body of the man Christ Jesus.
Let us make man in our image.
Adam made in the image of God.
New Testament Adam made in the figure of Him to come.
The image of God is the image of Christ.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God, and the Word became flesh.
Which God had the plan in the beginning to come in the future in flesh, and created Adam in that image, which is an innocent nature in flesh.
So the let us make man in our image has to include the man Christ Jesus for He is part of that image.
So it is not a trinity but God the Father, and the Son, the man Christ Jesus, which the Son was made according to the flesh, and made of a woman, made under the law.
Baptize in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.
Those are titles not names, and the name is singular which is Jesus.
Jesus said He came in His Father's name.
The Son inherited the name of the Father.
The Holy Spirit comes in the name of Jesus.
Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritans were all baptized in the name of Jesus.
Everything we do in word, and in deed, we do all in the name of Jesus.
Jesus at the right hand of God.
There is one throne in heaven not two thrones.
The man Christ Jesus is the mediator between God and man.
Jesus said all power is given unto Him in heaven and earth.
God's right hand represents power, wisdom, and salvation.
David said the LORD said unto my Lord sit at my right hand until I make your enemies your footstool.
Which the Son must reign until His enemies are conquered, and when they are conquered then the Son shall submit to the Father that God may be all in all for His mediator role is no longer needed.
God exalted the man Christ Jesus to be at His right hand for He is the mediator, exercise the throne of power, until His enemies are conquered, and when they are conquered then the Son shall stop being at the right hand, stop exercising the throne of power, and submit to the Father that God may be all in all.
So the Son at the right hand of God is a temporary role, and the only person we will see in heaven is Jesus who is a visible image of the Father which if you have seen Jesus then you have seen the Father.
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are not 3 persons of a trinity but the 3 relationships God has with His children designated by titles.
Father- Creator, and parent of the saints.
Son- God's visible relationship to the saints, and Him in visible activity.
Holy Spirit- God's invisible relationship to the saints, and Him in spiritual activity which the Spirit moved in creation, and the Son was conceived by the Spirit, and the Spirit dwells in the saints and leads them to be Christlike.
God said thou shalt have no other gods before me, and if you believe in one God you do well.
