ONE God, the Father Almighty
Back to the Bible way about God, the Father Almighty!
The real background of the tares doctrine it is not the Bible
Did you know that the mainstream view about God in Christianity today is outside the mainstream view about God in the Bible? This is exactly how the wheat and weeds were predicted.
Matthew 13:24Jesus told them another parable: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field. 25But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.
This is written in the Nouveau Dictionnaire Universel:
"The Platonic Trinity, itself only a rearrangement of the older trinities, dating from earlier peoples, seems to be the rational philosophical trinity of attributes that gave rise to the three hypostases or persons, taught by the Christian churches ... "This conception of the Greek philosopher [Plato, 4th century BC] about the divine Trinity ... can be found in all ancient [pagan] religions." - (Paris, 1865 -1870), edited by M. Lachâtre, vol. 2, pp. 1467.
Here is the ancient tares doctrine about God in a few words, directly from a primary source:
“The moment I thought about them, behold, the heavens opened, all the creature beneath the sky lit up, and the world shook. I was scared, and here I saw someone sitting next to me in the light. Looking, he seemed to be someone old. Then he changed his appearance to a young man. Not that there were more faces in front of me, but inside the light, there was a face with more faces. These faces were visible to each other, and the face had three faces.”
Apocryphon of John The Secret Book of John, also called the Apocryphon of John, is a second-century forgery, made by the tares.
This is the same doctrine that is in mainstream Christianity today:
Wikipedia: Trinity "Within Christianity, the doctrine of the Trinity states that God is a single "Being" who exists, simultaneously and eternally, as a communion of three persons (personae, prosopa): Father (the Source, the Eternal Majesty); the Son (the eternal Logos or Word, incarnate as Jesus of Nazareth); and the Holy Spirit. Traditionally, in both Eastern and Western Christianity, this doctrine has been stated as "One God in Three Persons", all three of whom, as distinct and co-eternal "persons" or "hypostases", "share a single Divine essence, being, or nature."
However we need to be able to see that this theme is a pagan one.
As we see, the doctrine of the trinity was not invented at the Council of Nicaea in 325, but earlier, in the pagan times. We must also mention that the doctrine of the trinity has a shorter form, the binitarian doctrine. This binitarian doctrine excludes the idea that the holy spirit is a part of the Godhead. They claim that only the Father and the Son are part of the Godhead. Therefore they cannot speak of Trinitarianism, but of Binitarianism.
Some ancient pagan philosophers who did not know the true God believed that God should be defined by a trinitarian conception, a conception that said that God is a unity of three hypostases. We do not find this in the Bible, the Holy Scriptures of Christians, but we find it formulated in apocryphal books of heretical tendency as the Apocryphal of John in the second century and the Trimorphic Thought.
Some Christians who were weak in the faith believed that God also spoke through pagans, through pagan oracles and pagan religious philosophers, so they did not mind incorporating some teachings from this realm.
The Oxford Companion to the Bible, on page 561: "Three is generally regarded as a divine number. Many religions have triads of gods. In the biblical faith there is no room for a triad, and the number is seldom related to God."
Long before The Oxford Companion to the Bible, Bishop Marcellus of Ancyra (fourth century) makes it clear that this dogma was taken from the pagan philosophers Hermes and Plato.
Let’s see if this observation by Bishop Marcellus of Ancyra (fourth century), stating that the dogma of the trinity was taken from pagan philosophers stands:
The Harper's Bible Dictionary, on page 497, admits, "Three… was already sacred to the early Babylonian religions that worshiped a triad (Anu, Bel, Ea)… as the Egyptians worshiped Isis, Osiris, and Horus."
Aristotle, About Heaven, Book I, writes: "For, as the Pythagoreans (followers of the Pythagorean conceptions of Samos) say, the world and all that is in it is determined by the number three, as the beginning and the middle and the end give the number to a “whole,” and the number they give is the trinity [in Greek trias; in English = “trinity.” And so, taking these three from nature as its laws, we continue to use the number three in the worship of the gods."
Therefore the origin of this strange dogma lies not by a revelation of the Bible, but rather this pattern of thought is from ancient religious philosophy, and is of a pagan nature, "clothed" in biblical names and beautifully wrapped in tin called "mystery”, as it is not just a religious myth.
We also sees from the writing of the one who was nicknamed by some "the Doctor of the Church" - the patriarch Cyril of Alexandria, who lived in the fourth century. d.Ch .:
"For Porphyrios says expounding the teaching of Plato: The being of God proceeds from three hypostases and is: God the Most High and Most Good; after Him and the second is the Builder; and the third is the Soul of the world."
"And yet they, the pagan scholars, admit and presuppose three hypostases from the beginning, and they say that it is proper to have the being of God up to three hypostases, and sometimes apply the name of Trinity thus agreeing with the teachings of Christians ... "
"However we will find that the knowledge of the Holy Trinity is found in the teachings of the pagan Greeks. For they say that these divinities are very close to each other and nothing is interposed between them being united with each other” (quoting the pagan philosopher Numerius). God who is first in himself is simple in that He is never separated by being self-controlled. And the second and third God is one. ... " (Cyril of Alexandria: Ten books against Julian the Apostate, Anastasia Publishing House, Bucharest, 2000, pp. 64, 422, 424, 426)
The Bible is silent about the formulation of this dogma of the Trinity, as we see from the quotations above, that this mysterious revelation does not belong to the early church. This teaching is from the heathen, and so we are left to wonder why it needed to be taken from outside the church and imposed as a standard of faith about God?
Conclusion
Some learned pagans did not change their old beliefs, but simply turned them into what is now called "orthodoxy in theology." When they became influential bishops, they imposed these elements by the measure of the strength of the power of religious authority and not of a firmly established belief in the Scriptures. As we have shown, renowned reference works recognize the post-biblical origin of the doctrine of the Trinity. If Scripture were to be taught clearly, there would be no need for any authoritarian imposition of the teaching, nor for the great pressure to submit to it, as it was during the diabolical inquisition. So many were disadvantaged when they were pressured by others to conform to the views they adopted without careful research. Dogmatic statements that come from sources that claim to base their arguments on knowledge are often astonishing. Many things could be clarified if people simply read the same text in different translations of the Bible. Thus, we would see that at least there, when it comes to translation differences, dogmatism is a greater proof of ignorance than of learning. This seems to be the case for many who adopt the doctrine of the Trinity. These examples are just more proof of the fragility of its foundation.
So, back to the Bible way about God, the Father Almighty!
One God, the Father Almighty alone
- The true monotheism
Proof texts, for one God, the Father Almighty alone
Matthew 4:10: "Jesus said to him, 'Away from me, Satan! For it is written: "Worship the LORD (YHWH) your God, and serve him only."'" (quote from the Old Testament)
Who is this LORD?
We see this from Exodus 20 and John 17:3: "Now this is eternal life: that they may know you (the Father Almighty), the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
1Corinthians 8:5-6: "For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as indeed there are many "gods" and many "lords"), yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live."
1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God (the Father Almighty), and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus"
James 2:19: "You believe that there is one God(the Father Almighty). Good! Even the demons believe that—and shudder."
No "Trinity" here.
Be careful „This is eternal life”
To know God means first of all to accept that he is the only God, the Father Almighty. This is true monotheism. Monotheism is unchanging, see Revelation chapter 3, 4 and 5. Knowing God and His Son is very important. According to this is eternal life, without this knowledge there is no eternal life (John 17:1-3). Be careful, this is very important.
Don't be afraid of criticism. We learned from the annals of the Inquisition that many died for this truth, this truth being more important than their life (Matthew 10:28).
Don't be a lazy slave, we learn from written works that many have thoroughly engaged in the research of this subject, in order to convince themselves who is the true and only God. By this they showed that they cared about the truth (Revelation 3:16).
The proclamation of true monotheism is very necessary to counterbalance the effect of the announcement of the tares, which preach against true monotheism (Matthew 13:24,25).
The Bible message is:
Out of His great love for the human race, God the one and only Father Almighty, sent His only begotten Son from Heaven (John 3:13-16). His Son mirrors (reflects) the glory and being (likeness in image and character) of God. The Son came from Heaven also out of great love, not being forced by anyone, teaching us what the love of God, and that of our fellowman really means. He gave his life as a ransom for us, in order to save us from sin and eternal death, which destroys everyone of us (Exo 21:23, John 1:1 anarthrous, Hebrews 1:1-3, John 3:13-16, 17:1-3, Matthew 20:28) Therefore by this we know that God did not die, as He is immortal in the eternal glory of immortality (1Tim 6:16). We read by scripture that His beloved Son has done this for all of us (John 3:16)
Thank you Father and we pray in the wonderful name of your only-begotten Son, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Hallelujah Amen! Thank you Lord Jesus!
Educate yourself with truth and knowledge concerning who the Father really is, and who is the Son, and live in the knowledge of that wonderful relationship between them, and God will bless you!
The most important doctrines about God in Christianity today
Some other important clarifications. Christianity is not united in a single doctrine when it comes to their teachings on the God of the Bible. There are four important divisions in current theology about God.
When it comes to the trinity, many believe that you must have faith in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. If you do not believe in the trinity, then trinitarians will automatically think you do not believe in the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit. Most will not listen to any view that challenges their own view as they consider this to be a compromise. Any conversation between opposing views is falls on deaf ears. Why would anyone listen to heresies?
Therefore, we must point out from the onset that the doctrine of the trinity does not mean only faith in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And the irony is that those who think they are Trinitarians are not even Trinitarians, since they do not know the doctrine of the Trinity.
Referring strictly to the accepted trinity doctrine, as there are other views of the trinity that are not accepted as truth, the accepted view states that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one being. This accepted doctrine concludes that God is not three parts, or three separate beings. Trinitarians who accepted that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were three separate beings and not just one, were considered heretics and were persecuted by others who went beyond this pattern of interpretation. Trinitarians who believed that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit were three separate heavenly beings were excommunicated and called "tritheists", that is, those who believe in three gods.
What is the accepted doctrine of the trinity? Trinitarians who believe themselves to be "corret" or accurate believe that the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one God made up of three parts, not three separate beings. This doctrinal difference was taken by Trinitarians who believe they are "correct."
However, no matter which Trinitarian creed we consider, the difference between what the Bible reveals about the person of God and what the dogma of the Trinity holds about God's "persons" is significant, if only the Father Almighty is the only true God (John 17:1-3).
God is not a trinity of any kind. A significant portion of theologians support the idea of the concept of "trinity", a divine "unity" consisting of three persons. However this doctrine has been shown to be taken from paganism and clothed in biblical words. This doctrine blatantly violates the concept of patertheist monotheism, which declares Yehowah, the heavenly Father, as the only true God: Exodus 20:1-3, John 17:1-3, 1 Corinthians 8:5,6.
At present in denominational Christianity there are several conceptions of God, among these those that are best known are:
1. Classic Trinitarianism - the belief in three substances (called persons) united together in one body: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit who form one God
2. Patripassian Modalism - the belief that the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are the manifestation of the same person, not being several separate or united persons, but only one, which was revealed in three ways, the Father became the Son and the Son became the Holy Spirit
3. Trinitarian Tritheism - the belief in three distinct and separated persons from each other: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit
4. Patertheism - faith in one God: the Father Almighty.
Which is true? The truth can only be found in what the Bible says, namely that God the Father Almighty has an only begotten Son (John 3:16), sent from heaven to the earth (John 3:13, John 17:5).
In Classic Trinitarianism the concept of the separate Son cannot be applied since the Son is only a part of God and not someone distinct from him. Could we tell our head, for example, that it is the father and our torso it is the son or that our limbs are the holy spirit of our body?
In Patripassian Modalism the concept of a separate Son cannot be applied, since the Father disappears and transforms into his own Son.
In Trinitarian Tritheism, the idea of a separate Son cannot be applied, since the Son is a kind of twin brother to God, the Father. In this conception there would be three twin brothers, triplets.
The only concept that would allow the existence of a Son with the Father, who could be sent from heaven to earth, making the Father remain a father and the Son remain a son, is the patertheist concept.
