Description

Irenaeus was not a trinity believer. Though he mentions three aspects of one God does not make God three by any means. In the New Testament, God mainly uses three modes or ways of showing himself. In the Old Testament he revealed himself as a burning bush that did not consume itself. A pillar of fire and cloud. As Melchizedek, and in many other forms. Either we serve one God or a muliplied one. Nobody who ever believed in the one true God wants to limit him, as that would be sin. On the same point, nobody ever can confirm of a trinity by scripture. It simply does not exist. If people say God is one yet shows himself in many forms, though three for most part; that they are in no way equal in seperated forms, and never triads by any means. Does that make them Heretics? By the Catholic and Protestant doctrines of the trinity it does so. Jesus, Peter, Paul and all the early church would have then to be expelled, from all their churches. In fact Abraham, Moses, and others also. In setting up this stumbling block, Jewish people have rejected Christianity. As well as many others. Muslims laugh at the trinity and see it as paganism or idol worship. What would Jesus do with the trinity? You must decide for yourself of whether or not new doctrines are equal to the word of God. No matter what the intention was in setting up the trinity, it violates scriptural teachings, even at the very heart and center of them. The word of God must give the revelation of it to the reader, by the Spirit of God. If not, then it is a closed book indeed. In John's last chapter, it reads that if all that was done about Jesus was written, the world could not contain the books therein. In other words, God left us what he wanted to leave and we must be content with it. Not adding unto nor taking away from it. If God felt contented with what he revealed and imparted unto us, who should question it, or refine the perfect works of a almighty God? Nobody. No, not one.
