Official Statements - Trinity181Under the subject of Trinity, the Encyclopaedia Britannica (15th edition, 1974,vol. 10, p. 126, Micropedia) makes this eye-opening statement, “Neither the wordTrinity nor the explicit doctrine appears in the New Testament, nor did [Yahshua] andHis followers intend to contradict the Shema of the Old Testament: ‘Hear, O Israel:[Yahweh] our [Elohim] is One.’” (Deuteronomy 6:4).Towards the end of the fourth century, the doctrine of the Trinity primarilyassumed a definite shape which has been preserved up to the present day.(New Encyclopedia Britannica, “vol. 10, p. 126)Quote:SAME FOREVER?The doctrine of the Trinity holds “The Eternal Son of God” is as eternal as theFather. Therefore, like the father, the Son had no beginning.BUT: If the father wanted to have a son, at some point ages ago, the father had tobe there before the son. A son may not be as old as his father. But if the son werejust as eternal as the Father, the Son could not have been born from the father.And if the son was not born of the Father, he is not the true Son of the Father. Ifthe Son is not a begotten, the true Son of the Father, then the “father” and the“son” are just colleagues. Then, the father did not sacrifice his son, as Abrahamonce sacrificed his son Isaac. He never sent his only begotten Son, but only acolleague to the cross. If the son says “Father” and if the father says he hassacrificed his “son”, then both are lying.“And that should be the love of God?” we hear Satan sneer: Stay away fromsuch a selfish uncaring and lying God!The idea of ​the Trinity of God is a role playing game. There are three divinepersons, one playing the role of “God the Father,” the other of “God the Son” andthe third person plays the role of “God the Holy Spirit.”With this picture of a game, Satan plays down his rebellion and the unspeakablesuffering which he has brought upon God and people. At the same time herepresents God as cold and cruel. But what happened in the life of Jesus and onthe cross, was not a role playing game. That was the most bitter and seriousstruggle for life and death. Since Satan could not defeat Christ, he now wants todefeat the message of Christ’s victory and the rescue by means of the doctrine ofthe Trinity.Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son. Would it have been an appropriate picture,if the father had sent a colleague to the cross?Even if hidden among many pious words, the Trinity presents the Father not only asan idle, mindless, selfish and unloving grandfather, but also shows the Father andthe Son even as liars and and actors.Does Satan like the doctrine of the Trinity?On the contrary Jesus teaches following: Quote: “For God loved the world so muchthat He gave His only begotten Son, so that whosoever believes in him should notperish but have eternal life” (John 3,16). See also: Proverbs 8: 22-36, John 17:5The father had a begotten son whom he could give away, before Jesusbecame a human. The Father alone is eternal in the absolute sense, without abeginning and without an end. Also Christ is eternal, but he had a beginning, as hewas born in eternity by the Father. The Holy Spirit is just as eternal as the Fatherbecause he is the Spirit of the Father. Otherwise it would have been a time in whichthe father would have been spiritless.From: „Is that really so?“ by Bruno Fischer.
