Billions of Christians in
the Catholic, Anglican and Evangelical churches around the world are united by
a common doctrine called The Trinity.
The Trinity
has not always existed. For the first 300 years of Christianity, there was
nothing like the Trinity. The word does not exist in the Holy Scriptures. It
was introduced by the Holy Roman Catholic Church during the First Council of
Nicaea in the year 325 AD.
After the
Council of Chalcedon decided to alter the nature of Christ and change Him from
the Son of God to God the Son in AD 451, many churches broke away from
Christendom and coalesced into what is now known loosely as Orthodox Churches,
some of which reject the Trinitarian doctrine.
According to
the official creeds of the Catholic, Anglican and the World Evangelical
Alliance, the Trinity is a doctrine that projects one God in three Divine
Persons, in which the three Persons are co-equal and co-eternal and omniscient.
Now, I am not
going to give my opinion about the Trinity. Rather, I will let The Holy
Scriptures speak.
Is there
co-equality between God, His Son and the Holy Spirit? In John 14:28 The Son
said “My Father is greater than I.” Obviously, that verse contradicts the first
leg of the Trinity. During my investigations, I confronted a member of the US
Southern Baptist Convention about this and I will quote his response verbatim.
He said “Jesus was just being modest”.
Almighty God
is omniscient. He knows all things. But is His Son omniscient? In Matthew
24:36, The Son said “"But about that day or hour no one knows, not even
the angels in heaven, NOR THE SON, but only the Father.”
It is clear
from the above Scripture that only The Father is omniscient.
So where does
the biblical authority for the Trinity come from? It comes from 1 John 5:7 in
the King James Version. That verse says:
“there are
three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one.”
Now here is
the problem. When you read the original Greek manuscript, that verse does not
exist. This is not even an argument or controversy. It is a FACT. Both the
Catholic and Anglican Church admit that those words are not to be found in the
original Scriptures.
I know right
now your religious spirit is telling you that Reno Omokri is deceiving you.
Okay. Open any other version of The Bible other than the King James Version and
read 1 John 5:7.
I will now
quote it in the NIV, NLT, ESV and the Aramaic Bible in Plain English:
“there are
three that testify”-NIV
“we have these
three witnesses”-NLT
“there are
three that testify”-ESV
“The Spirit
testifies because The Spirit is the truth.”-Aramaic Bible in Plain English.
So where does
the KJV get the part that justifies the Trinity? From men, not from God. Why
did they do it? I do not know. But what I know is that most, if not all, the
scholars who translated the Holy Scriptures into the KJV were high level
Masons, including King James who was a Master Mason of the 33rd Degree (the
highest level of Freemasonry). This is not arguable or controversial. It is a
historical fact that is not even hidden.
Many
Christians try to use John 1:1 to justify the Trinity. They quote it as “In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
But that is
not what it says in the original Greek manuscripts. I have The Original
Manuscript. I tweeted and facebooked a picture of it. The first mention of God
in the original Manuscript is Theon, while the second word used is Theos. These
are Greek words that have significance. For instance, Greeks called Zeus, who
is the head of their pantheon of gods, Theon. They call Zeus’ children Theos.
For instance, Dionysius, the son of Zeus is referred to as Theos.
People
erroneously cite Philippians 2:6 in the KJV as justification for the Trinity.
That verse says:
“Who, being in
the form of God, thought it not robbery to be EQUAL with God:”
Actually that
is a wrong translation. If you read the original Scriptures, you will see for
yourself that translations, such as the ESV, and the NASB are more accurate.
They say:
“though he was
in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.”
What this means
is that Yeshu’a, our Saviour, did not try to be equal with the Most High. satan
did it. The Holy Scriptures record satan as saying “I will ascend above the
tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High."-Isaiah 14:14.
Yeshu’a had an
even better opportunity to do what satan attempted, but He did not do it. That
is why God promoted Him and said “in The Name of Yeshua, every knee shall bow,
which is in Heaven and in The Earth and which is under The Earth.”-Philippians 2:10 (Aramaic Bible in Plain English),
But then some
read the above verse and still use that to justify the Trinity. Before you do
that, I urge you to read and understand 1 Corinthians 15:27-28. Those verses
say:
“For he
"has put everything under his feet." Now when it says that
"everything" has been put under him, it is clear that this does not
include God himself, who put everything under Christ. When all things are
subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who put
all things in subjection under Him, that God may be all in all.”
I know this is
a lot to take in. It is possible I have upset a lifetime of religious
programming. However, you will agree with me that I have backed everything I
have said from Scripture. I have said what I studied, researched, investigated
and prayed over. I went physically to these places mentioned in the Holy
Scriptures. I went to Israel, Rome, The Vatican, Corinth and Athens in Greece,
Ethiopia and Palestine. I never wanted to do this. But I believe God will not be
happy with me if I act the coward like Jonah. A popular and well respected
Pentecostal pastor, who agrees with these things, appealed to me not to reveal
them. But I have achieved everything I want to achieve on earth. If I die
without saying this, I will not be fulfilled.
Bear in mind
that the Trinity did not exist for the first 300 years of Christianity. The
doctrine was invented in 325 AD. What did Paul say about this?
“The Spirit
clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow
deceiving spirits and things taught by demons.” – 1 Timothy 4:1
Others will
ask how this builds faith. My response to them is this-is faith built on a lie
still faith or is it delusion?
Sadly, many
people go to Business Centres, and think they are going to church. They will
hear more about money than about God. After years of attending church, they
know more about their congregations and pastors than about the Holy Scriptures,
but they will come here to attack me for saying the truth.
