182Official Statements - TrinityThe International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia gives this surprising admission:“The term‘Trinity’ is not a Biblical term, and we are not using Biblical language when we definewhat is expressed by it... In point of fact, the doctrine of the Trinity is purely a revealeddoctrine. That is to say, it embodies a truth which has never been discovered, and isindiscoverable, by natural reason.” (Trinity, vol.5, p. 3012).The Britannica adds: “The doctrine developed gradually over several centuriesand through many controversies... . The Council of Nicaea, in 325, stated the crucialformula for that doctrine in its confession that the ‘Son is of the same substance...asthe Father,’ even though it said very little about the Holy Spirit...By the end of the 4thcentury...the doctrine of the Trinity took substantially the form it has maintained eversince.”“The Trinity of Plato (Greek philosopher in the fourth century BC) - in principleonly a restructuring of older triads dating back to early peoples - seemsto be rational philosophic trinity of attributes, which, taught by the Christianchurches, bore three hypostases or people. This idea of ​the divine Trinity ofthe Greek philosopher can be found in all old, pre-Christian pagan religions.”(M. Lactötre’s, Nouveau Dictionnaire Universal ‘, 1865-70, vol 2, p. 1467)Quote:HIGH PRIEST SERVICE?According to the doctrine of the Trinity the Son co-eternal, same-aged as thefather and and cannot be the the real only begotten Son of the Father. For a son maynot be as old as his father. As to it, the son was just a colleague of his father. As thiscolleague died on the cross, he was half dead. This reveals the following defacingimage: Although one is asking only one superior for mercy, the colleague “son”is standing before the equal colleague “father” asking him for mercy for those forwhom he just half died and who will neither raise. What a mockery!The Trinity considers not only the resurrection as an attempt at fraud, but also thehigh priest service of the resurrected.The Trinity steals the glory of the Father and the Son, it mocks the victim ofthe Father, the crucifixion of His Son, and it mocks all believers who trust inthe Father and the Son.The ... Trinity dishonors, desecrates, mocks and ridicules the father with thesacrifice of his only, beloved son and the son with his humiliation and his lovingobedience to death on the cross. So the proof of love of our Heavenly Father andHis only begotten Son is dragged in the mud. It leaves nothing but disappointmentand despair ...from: „Is that really so?“ by Bruno Fischer.“The baptismal testimony was a creedal confession of Christ in its earliest form;its later form was triadic (p. 39). The New Testament does not really contain anyTrinitarian statements... Matt. 28:19 (not a real saying of Jesus!) ... The dogma ofthe Trinity has been formed nearly since the second century.“(Karl Heussi, excerpt from: “Compendium of the Church History ‘, 12th edition, 1960,p. 69)
