The Trinity Delusion An examination of the doctrine of the Trinity

Absolute Proofs of the Trinity Error

Information for reasonable people only

This page is new. There is much more to add.

Proof. What Three-Person-God? There is no evidence that a three-

Person-God even exists.

It is never up to anyone to prove a negative. It is not up to

anyone to prove to Trinitarians that a three-person-God does
not exist. The onus is on Trinitarians to demonstrate that a
three-person-God does exist.

Trinitarians often try to take the stance that the Trinity is

true unless someone else proves it to be false. This is a farce
in itself. No one needs to prove the existence of nothing. We
often talk about nothing as if it is a something. But nothing is
really not a something; it is only a way of describing the
non-existence of anything. If I said, "There is a planet out
there with self conscious bananas who are far more
intelligent than us and unless you prove me wrong then we
must believe it is true," I am speaking ridiculous nonsense. A
made up concept is not true unless it is proven false. That is
essentially what we have with the doctrine of the Trinity
since the concept of the Trinity is a made up concept; a three
person God is not mentioned once in the entire Scriptures
even though the one true God is the main character of the
Scritures and is mentioned thousands of times. Rather,
Trinitarians must first assume that a three person God does
exist and then read this concept back into the Scriptures.
The onus is upon Trinitarians to demonstrate that a three-
person-God actually exists since it is never up to anyone to
prove a negative.

But even though the onus is on Trinitarians to prove that a

three person God does exist, and no one needs to
demonstrate otherwise, we can indeed decisively show the
doctrine of the Trinity to be utterly false.

For the Trinitarian there is almost nothing which would

satisfy them and and nothing which will cause them to
acceptthat their doctrine is false. Even if Jesus had said, "I
am most definitely not God," we can easily imagine what the
Trinitarian response would be: "Jesus just meant he was not
the Father." We can easily see that Trinitarian apologists will
always have their excuses and self made justifications. And
we can also see that they take a position which essentially
says, "I will continue to believe in the Trinity unless you are
able pry my doctrine from my cold dead hands." In other
 words, they take the stance that they must be forced to
accept their doctrine is wrong since they will not do so on
their own account. God does not force us to believe the truth
nor should his servants try to force men into believing the
truth. If Trinitarians want to be stiff-necked and stubborn
and don't want to accept the truth freely and willfilly then
that is their problem. And they try to make it everyone else's
problem by suggesting they must be proven wrong. Humans
have always had the means to devise self deceptive excuses
and justifications and set up walls of denial. In the face of
their behavior, we can also ask if there is anything in the
Scriptures that will perhaps wake them up and illustrate to
them that they are clearly promoting an error. And indeed
there is much evidence of that sort.

If Jesus clearly excludes himself from identity as the one

God, the Trinity is decisively proven to be an error. If the
Father excludes everyone else but Himself, the Trinity is
decisively proven to be an error. If the Scriptures exclude
everyone else but the Father then the Trinity is desively
proven to be an error. And if it can be demonstrated that
any one of the three persons of the doctrine of the Trinity is
also the other, the Trinity is decisively proven to be an error.
All these things can be decisively proven.

Additionally, if it can be shown that Trinitarians must

change their definitions of the one God to suit the occasion,
the doctrine of the Trinity is an error since different
definitions of the one God, where one definition cannot be
said to identity the same God as the other, shows a belief in
multiple Gods, and the doctrine of the Trinity is decisively
proven to be an error. And since Trinitarians insist they do
not believe in three Gods, then if the Father alone can be
shown to be a God of anyone, then the doctrine of the Trinity
is decisively shown to be an error.

A. Proof from the Bible

Proof 1. Jesus' God was His Father Alone.

There are numerous references to Jesus' God in the

Scriptures, the one God of Jesus. Jesus refers to his Father as
"my God" both before and after his resurrection, and the
Scriptures refer to the Father as "his God" and "THE God and
Father of" Jesus. He was not his own God nor was the Holy
Spirit another person who was his God in addition to his
Father. His Father alone was his one and only God and he
walked by his Father's Spirit, the Holy Spirit. Jesus, the Jew
born under the Law, had the same God as every other Jew
such as his Mother and brothers, and that one God was his
Father alone. To have a three-person being as your God is to
have a different God than Jesus' God who was a one person
being.

Additionally, Paul explains, "I have been crucified with

Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me."
Who is the God of Christ who lives in Paul? The Father alone.

PROOF: Jesus' one and only God was his Father alone which thereby
excludes everyone else.
Proof 2. Jesus' Identified THE Only True God as HIS His Only True
God, the Father.

At John 17:3, Jesus prayed to his Father, "Father.... this is

eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God. The
only definition of the word "God" which Trinitarians can
attempt to use is to define the word "God" as "the divine
substance" so that they can also attempt to claim that the
Son and Holy Spirit are also this "only true [divine
substance]." But it is clear that Jesus is not talking about
knowing a divine substance for eternal life. He is talking
about knowing an identity; he is talking about a personal
relationship with an identity: the only true God. And Jesus
identifies "the only true God" as his Father.

And furthermore, Jesus is praying to his God and Father. His

words are directed to his Father and his prayer is between
he himself and his Father. He says these words, "You, the
only true God," in prayer to his Father. And we know that his
one and only God was his Father alone. So when he says the
words, "You, the only true God," to his God and Father, we
know he is praying to his only God and to the one who is
alone is only God, the Father, and we can be absolutely
certain that the Father alone is "the only true God" Jesus
ever knew and worshiped and served.

PROOF: Jesus' only true God was his Father alone and he identified
his Father as the only true God that everyone else needs to personally
know for eternal life.

Proof 3. Jesus Identified the One God of the Shema as his Father
alone.

When the devil tempted Jesus with all the Kingdoms of the
world, Jesus responded by quoting Deuteronomy 6:13, "You
shall worship the Lord your God and serve Him alone." In
each temptation, Jesus responded to the temptation by
indicating that he would (1) live by the word of His God, (2)
not put the Lord his God to the test, and (3) serve His God
alone. The one and only God of the Jew, Jesus of Nazareth,
was his Father alone, "I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven
and earth." The "Lord your God" whom he mentions at his
temptation is his Father alone and the same God identified
in the Shema: "the Lord our God the Lord is one" because
this is the same Lord mentioned in the verse he quotes in
response to the devil. His Father alone, the one Lord of the
Shema, was that Lord, "You shall worship the Lord your God
and serve Him only."

Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is

one! You shall love The LORD your God with all
your heart and with all your soul and with all
your might.... You shall fear only The LORD your
God; and you shall worship Him and swear by His
name. (Deuteronomy 6:4-5,13).
 PROOF: Jesus identifies the one Lord God of the Shema as his Father
only.

Proof 4. Jesus Identified Our God for us.

After Jesus had risen from the dead, he met Mary Magdalene
and said to her:

I ascend to my Father and your Father and your

Father and my God and your God.

Jesus' one and only God was a one person being, his Father alone. If
your God is a three person being you have a different God than Jesus'
God who was a one person being.

PROOF: Jesus identified his only God, his Father, as the God and
Father of Mary Magdalene.

Proof 5. Jesus the Jew and a Jewish Scribe Explain How to

Understand the Shema.

At Mark 12:28-34, a Jewish scribe asked Jesus which is the

foremost commandment. And Jesus responded to him by
quoting the Shema, "the Lord our God the Lord is one." The
scribe then replied, "You are right Teacher. You have truly
said that He is one, and there is no other but He and to love
him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and
with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself, is
much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
And then we read that Jesus saw that he had responded
wisely and Jesus then said, "You are not far from the
kingdom of God."

Jesus the Jew, born of a woman, born under the Law, and
this Jewish scribe, illustrate to us how the Shema is to be
understood. In Trinitarian doctrine, the oneness of God is
not a oneness of person. There are three persons not one in
the doctrine of the Trinity. Rather, the oneness of the Trinity
is the divine nature (ousia, being, substance). And so the
Shema then necessarily means "the Lord our God the Lord is
one [substance/being/ousia/divine nature]" in the doctrine of
the Trinity. However, these two Jews whole-heartedly agree
that the word "one" refers to a personality not a nature, "He
is one" means "there is no other but HE. It is one "HE" not
one substance belonging to and shared by three persons.
Moreover, one is to love this "HE" with all their might; we do
not love natures and substances; we love persons, that is,
"HE."

Even further, we read that the Jews believed the Father was
their God, "we have one Father: God" (John 8:41) which Jesus
also affirms (8:54). There is no doubt who the Jewish scribe
and Jesus had in mind when they agreed "there is no other
but HE." Either they were both wrong or we must accept
that the "one" of the Shema, "the Lord our God the Lord is
ONE" is the one person known as the Father.
 Even further, they both agree that that there is no other but
"HE." Both Jesus and the Jewish scribe are talking about
someone else, a third person. The fact that they both agree
that "there is no other but he" and are talking about this
other third party, who is Jesus' one and only God, then rules
out any possibility that Jesus is that one God.

PROOF: Jesus the Jew, and a Jewish Scribe, show us that the Shema
refers to one HE, the Father.

Proof 6. Paul Identifies the One God of Christians as One Person,

the Father.

At 1 Corinthians 8:4 Paul tells us "there is no other God but

one." Carefully regard Paul's point. He is saying that there is
a God and that there is no "other" God except this particular
one. His point is that there is one who is God and there is no
other but this one. Who is this "one" whom Paul is talking
about? Because whoever it is, "there is no other God but
one" necessary means that there is no God but this one
particular identity. And then he tells us who this "one"
specific identity is, "for us there is one God: the Father." The
Father is this "one" of whom Paul says, "there is no other
God except ONE." There is no other God but "the Father."
There is one God: the Father.

Also compare the following:

For us there is one God, the Triune being.

For us
there is one God, the Father
For us there is one
God, the Son
For us there is one God, the divine
ousia.

In Trinitarian doctrine, the one Triune God is not the Father.

The one Triune God is the whole of three persons subsisting
in one divine ousia. Hence the "one God" Paul mentions
cannot be defined as the one Triune being or Paul would be
indicating the one Triune being is the Father which is not
true even in Trinitarian doctrine. Also, in Trinitarian
doctrine the divine ousia/being/substance is not the Father
either since that would be defining the divine
substance/being/nature as a person, the Father. Not only so,
Jesus is said to have a divine nature/ousia as one of his two
natures in Trinitarian doctrine. If we said that the one
divine ousia/substance/being/nature is the Father then that
would be saying that Jesus' divine nature/substance/ousia is
the Father. Once it is realized that the Trinitarian is
compelled to define the word "God" in this verse, it is also
realized that there is absolutely no escape for the Trinitarian
concerning this verse. There is absolutely no definition of
the word "God" which will work for his Trinitarian doctrine
in this verse which will also not exclude everyone else but
the Father.

PROOF: Paul identifes the one God as the Father thereby excluding
everyone else.
Proof 7. Paul Identifies the one God as an Identity who cannot be
Jesus.

At 1 Timothy 2:5, Paul says, "there is one God, and one

mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ. There
are three identities mentioned here, three parties in view:

The One God

Men, mankind as a group
Jesus

By definition a mediator is neither of the two parties by

identity for whom he mediates. If he was one of the other
parties by identity there would be only two identities and he
would not be a mediator by definition. A mediator is
someone in the middle, between, two other parties. All three
parties must be different identities for mediation to occur by
definition.

Paul also says that it is the MAN Jesus who is the mediator.
In Trinitarian doctrine this is Jesus according to his human
nature only, Jesus according to flesh. It is the man Jesus who
has a God and is therefore not God according to his
humanity which is the reason he can have a God. It is a MAN
who is mediating between the one God and men.

The fact that Jesus is the mediator between the one God and
me means that Jesus is not either of the two identities for
whom he mediates, (1) the one God, and (2) men. He is not
the men for whom he mediates and he is not the one God for
whom he mediates. By definition, he cannot be either party.
Hence, Jesus is not the one God.

PROOF: Paul identifes Jesus as someone who cannot be the one God.

Proof 8. Song of Moses: Deuteronomy 32:39 - YAHWEH the Father

excludes everyone but He Himself.

At Deuteronomy 32:39 we find YAHWEH indicating "there is no God

besides ME." When we check the context to see specifically who is
making this statement we find that it is YAHWEH the Father.

At Deuteronomy 32:6, Moses is speaking and says,

"Do you thus repay YAHWEH O foolish and

unwise people? Is HE not your Father who has
bought you?"

Here we find an explicit and direct reference to YAHWEH

the Father. As we keep reading what Moses has to say about
YAHWEH the Father, we also find the language of filial
relationship between Israel and YAHWEH their FAther, "you
neglected the Rock who begat them," and they forgot "the
God who gave them birth," and YHAHWEH was then
provoked to spurn His "sons and daugters." It is a clear
reference to God the Father.

Beginning at verse 20, we are told that the speaker changes

from Moses to YAHWEH, and then YAHWEH the Father then
speaks,
 "And HE said..."

And then YAHWEH the Father is still speaking at verse 39

when HE says:

See now that I, I am He, and there is no God

besides ME (v. 6)

It is quite clear if we simply follow through in the context

that YAHWEH the Father is speaking through Moses in verse
39:

[Moses]: "Do you thus repay YAHWEH O foolish

and unwise people? Is He not your Father who
has bought you?"

[Moses then indicates YAHWEH the Father is now

the speaker]: "And HE said..."

[YAHWEH the Father]: See now that I, I am HE,

and there is no God besides ME (v. 6)

PROOF: YAHWEH the Father excludes everyone else by telling us

Himself there is no God besides "ME".

Proof 9. 2 Samuel 7:22: King David excludes everyone but God the
Father.

At Hebrews 1:5, the writer quotes 2 Samuel 7:14 as a reference to Jesus

For to which of the angels did He ever say, "You are my son,
Today I have begotten You" and again, "I will be a Father to
him and He shall be a son to Me."

At 2 Samuel 7:14, YAHWEH is making a promise to David

that his descendant would sit on his throne forever.

When your days are fulfilled and you lie down

with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring
after you, who shall come forth from your body,
and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a
house for my name, and I will establish the throne
of his kingdom for ever. I will be his Father, and
he shall be my Son. when he commits iniquity, I
will correct him with the rod of men and the
strokes of the sons of men, but My lovingkindness
shall not depart from him, as I took it away from
Saul, whom I removed from before you. Your
house and your kingdom shall endure before Me
forever your throne shall be established forever.
(2 Samuel 7:12-16).

The same account is found at 1 Chronicles 17:11-14.

When your days are fulfilled that you must go to

be with your fathers, that I will set up one of your
descendants after you, who will be of your sons;
and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build for
Me a house, and I will establish his throne
 forever. I will be his Father and he shall be My
son and I will not take My lovingkindness away
from him, as I took it from him who was before
you. But I will settle him in My house and in My
kingdom forever, and his throne shall be
established forever.

Then in 2 Samuel chapter 7, we read how David responds to

this promise from YAHWEH:

Then David the king went in and sat before the

LORD, and he said.... "For this reason You are
great, O YAHWEH God for there is none like
You, and there is no God besides You, according
to all that we have heard with our ears. (17:18-22;
see 1 Chronicles 17:20)

And when we carefully regard the context, it is clear David

is responding to the identity who will be a Father to David's
son:

For this reason You are great, O YAHWEH God

for there is none like You, and there is no God
besides You, according to all that we have heard
with our ears. And what one nation on the earth
is like Your people Israel, whom God went to
redeem for Himself as a people and to make a
name for Himself, and to do a great thing for You
and awesome things for Your land, before Your
people whom You have redeemed for Yourself
from Egypt, from nations and their gods? For You
have established for Yourself Your people Israel as
Your own people forever, and You, O YAHWEH,
have become their God. Now therefore, O
YAHWEH God, the word that You have spoken
concerning Your servant and his house,
confirm it forever, and do as You have spoken,
that Your name may be magnified forever, by
saying, 'YAHWEH of hosts is God over Israel' and
may the house of Your servant David be
established before You. For You, O YAHWEH of
hosts, the God of Israel, have made a revelation to
Your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house'
therefore Your servant has found courage to pray
this prayer to You. Now, O YAHWEH God, You are
God, and Your words are truth, and You have
promised this good thing to Your servant. (2
Samuel 7:22-28; see 1 Chronicles 17:

There are many typologies of Christ in the Old Testament.

But all of these "type" fell short of the Messiah. Solomon was
a type of Christ just as Isaac was a type of Christ. David was
also a type of Christ. But David's son Solomon did not reign
forever. This promise made to David promises that a
descendant of David to reign forever and that is exactly
what we find when Jesus is born into the House of David:

He will be great and will be called the Son of the

Most High and the Lord God will give Him the
throne of His father David and He will reign
over the house of Jacob forever, and His kingdom
will have no end. (Luke 1:32-33).

Furthermore, we are told explicitly by the writer of the book

of Hebrews that this verse applies to the risen Jesus. It does
not matter if one wishes to apply the verse to Solomon or to
 Jesus. It still stands that Solomon will be this person's son
and this person will be Solomon's father, "I will be a Father
to him and he shall be a son to me." In either case, Solomon
or Jesus, God the Father is the Father in question here.

PROOF: King David excludes everyone else by telling us there is no

God besides God the Father.

Proof 10. The Holy Spirit Fathered Jesus and God the Father is Jesus'
Father.

In the doctrine of the Trinity, the Father is most definitely

NOT the Holy Spirit since that would mean that the first
person of the Trinity is the same identity as the third person
of the Trinity. However, in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke
we find that baby Jesus was begotten by the Holy Spirit.

Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows: when

His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph,
before they came together she was found to be
with child out of (ek the Holy Spirit... that which
has been begotten (gennao) in her is out of (ek)
the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18,20).

Now notice how begetting necessarily means that Jesus was

fathered by the Holy Spirit:

Abraham begat (gennao) Isaac, and Isaac begat

(gennao) Jacob, and Jacob begat (gennao) Judah
and his brethren... that which is has been
begotten (gennao) in her is out of the Holy Spirit.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah,

the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham
gennao Isaac, Isaac gennaoJacob, and Jacob
gennao Judah... that which has been gennao in
her is out of the Holy Spirit.

The book of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah,

the son of David, the son of Abraham: Abraham
fathered Isaac, Isaac fathered Jacob, and Jacob
fathered Judah... that which has been gennao in
her is out of the Holy Spirit.

In fact, Gabriel makes this explicitly clear in his

announcement to Mary:

Mary said to the angel, "How can this be, since I

am a virgin?" The angel answered and said to her,
"The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the
power of the Most High will overshadow you
and for that reason the holy Child shall be
called the Son OF God."

The Holy Spirit is called "the Spirit of God" and "the Spirit of
the Father" for a good reason. The Holy Spirit is not a
separate third person but the Father's own divine nature. As
we are flesh, our Holy God is spirit, Holy Spirit.

Jesus is the son of the Father (2 John 1:3). Gabriel tells us the
veru reason that the child will be called the "son of God" is
 because the child begotten of here will be born out of the
Holy Spirit. However, in the doctrine of the Trinity, the
Father is most definitely NOT the Holy Spirit and the first
person of the Trinity is NOT the third person. But we find
that Jesus is fathered, begotten, by the Holy Spirit. From the
perspective of Trinitarian doctrine, this would necessarily
mean the third person of the Trinity is Jesus' father and not
the first person of the Trinity. So in the doctrine of the
Trinity, one person begets Jesus but another personal
altogether turns out to be Jesus' father. However, we know
that God the Father is Jesus' Father.

PROOF: Matthew and Luke make it quite clear that the Father and
the Holy Spirit cannot be two separate persons otherwise one must
accept the absurdity that one person begat/fathered Jesus (i.e. the Holy
Spirit) but another person altogether turns out to be Jesus' father and is
not the one who begat the infant son Jesus.

Proof 11. The Holy Spirit Fathered All the Disciples.

In the Bible, the disciples are begotten of the Holy Spirit (Jn
3:6) and they are also said to have been begotten of the
Father (1 Peter 1:3; 1 John 5:1). In the doctrine of the Trinity,
the Holy Spirit is not the Father. But if the Holy Spirit and
the Father are two distinct persons, then a contradictory
absurdity results where Christians are fathered by two
different fathers who begat them: (1)God the Father (2) the
Holy Spirit. However, if the Holy Spirit is not a separate
third person but the personal presence and power of God,
there is no contradiction.

PROOF: The Bible makes it quite clear that the Father and the Holy
Spirit cannot be two separate persons otherwise one must accept the
contradictory absurdity that one person begat/fathered the disciples of
Jesus (i.e. the Holy Spirit, the third person of the Trinity) but another
person altogether turns out to be their father (the first person of the
Trinity).

Proof 12. Only the Father knows the day and hour of Jesus' return.

At Matthew 24:36, Jesus tells us that ONLY the Father knows

the day and hour of Jesus' return. By definition this
therefore means that ONLY the Father sets the times and
seasons and ONLY the Father is omniscient and knows all
things.

But of that day and hour no one knows, not even

the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father
ONLY.

The word "only" has meaning and significance or Jesus

would not have used the word. It has relevance.
Jesus' intent
here is also quite clear. To emphasize this fact he tell us that
no one knows the day and hour of his return, not even the
angels know, and not even the son knows. There is only one
who knows and that One is God the Father and Him alone.
 Indeed, Jesus also explains at Acts 1:7 that it is the Father
who fixes these times and seasons. We also read at Acts
17:31 that it is the one God who made the heavens and earth
who has fixed the day of Jesus return, this one God having
appointed the man Jesus to judge.

Indeed, this would also mean, from the perspective of

Trinitarian doctrine, that the Holy Spirit, the third person of
the Trinity, does not know either. That would mean the Holy
Spirit is not omniscient and does not know. This of course is
no problem for those who do not believe that the Holy Spirit
is a separate third person
distinct from the Father and/or the
Son. But in the doctrine of the Trinity and we find here that
the Holy Spirit is a separate third person.

PROOF: The one God is omniscient and knows absolutely

everything. Jesus here excludes everyone but God the Father.

Proof 13. The RISEN Jesus IS the Holy Spirit.

At 2 Corinthians 3, it is quite clear that Paul is discussing the greater

glory of the ministry of the Holy Spirit which gives life and
righteousness as opposed to the glory of the ministry of the Law which
kills and condemnation:

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we

need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?
You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by
all men being manifested that you are a letter of Christ,
cared for by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of
the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of
human hearts. Such confidence we have through Christ
toward God. Not that we are adequate in ourselves to
consider anything as coming from ourselves, but our
adequacy is from God, who also made us adequate as
servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit
for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. But if the
ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with
glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the
face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it
was, how will the ministry of the Spirit fail to be even
more with glory? For if the ministry of condemnation has
glory, much more doeS the ministry of righteousness
abound in glory. For indeed what had glory, in this case has
no glory because of the glory that surpasses it. For if that
which fades away was with glory, much more that which
remains is in glory. Therefore having such a hope, we use
great boldness in our speech, and are not like Moses, who
used to put a veil over his face so that the sons of Israel
would not look intently at the end of what was fading away.
(2 Corinthians 3:1-12).

And then Paul clearly states that the risen Jesus IS the Holy Spirit:

But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the
reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted,
because

THE VEIL is removed in CHRIST. But to this day whenever

Moses is read, a veil lies over their heart

but THE VEIL is taken away when a person turns to THE

 LORD.

Now THE LORD is the Spirit,

and where the Spirit of THE LORD is, there is fredom.

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the

glory of the Lord, are being transformed into cfrom glory to
glory, just as from

THE LORD, the Spirit.

Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received

mercy, we do not lose heart, but we have renounced the
things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or
adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of
truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in
the sight of God. And even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled
to those who are perishing, in whose case the god of this age
has blinded the minds of the unbelieving so that they might
not see the light of the gospel of

the glory of CHRIST, who is the image of God

For we do not preach ourselves

but Jesus Christ as LORD,

and ourselves as your bond-servants for Jesus' sake. For God,

who said, "Light shall shine out of darkness," is the One who
has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of

the glory of God in the face of Christ .

When he says "the Lord IS the Spirit" Paul clearly is identifying the
Lord as Jesus, specifically, the RISEN Jesus. The veil is removed in
Christ is a parallel statement to the veil being taken away when one
turns to the Lord. Before Paul ever says "the Lord is the Spirit" he
already has told us that Christ is the Lord he has in mind. And indeed,
he says it again at the end of verse 18, "the Lord, the Spirit." In fact, if
we just keep reading we see that Paul tells us explicitly that he has
been preaching Jesus Christ as "Lord." In Trinitarian doctrine, Jesus is
most definitely NOT the Spirit since that would mean the second
person of the Trinity is also the third person of the Trinity making
them not two distinct persons but the same person thereby destroying
the Trinity. But the Bible here says Jesus IS the Spirit in reference to the
risen Jesus. And when Paul says "the Spirit of the Lord," he is plainly
speaking of the Spirit of Jesus.

Carefully regard where Paul says the Lord is the Spirit and then he says
we are being transformed into the same image from glory unto glory.
What is that "same image"? It is the Spirit. Notice also these parallel
statements made in this same passage:

The Lord is the Spirit

The Lord, the Spirit

Christ who is the image of God

The very same thing occurs at 1 Corinthians 15:45 and 49:

Life-giving Spirit. (v. 45)

Bear the image of the heavenly man (v. 49)

Paul explains that Jesus' resurrection body, the same body which was
crucified, is now raised up and called "life-giving Spirit." And again, we
are told we will bear the image of the heavenly man. What is that
image? Life-giving Spirit. Same idea exactly as 2 Corinthians 3:18
which also if we keep reading leads into another passage about the
resurrection body (4:17ff.).

Whether one understands what Paul means in this passage it is crystal

clear that he is identifying the Lord Jesus as the Holy Spirit. In the
doctrine of the Trinity, Jesus is most definitely not the Holy Spirit.

PROOF: The Bible plainly tells us that the Lord Jesus IS the Holy
Spirit.

Proof 14. Jesus explicitly denied he was God.

On one occasion a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Good

Teacher, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life?"
Jesus said to him, "Why do you call ME good? No one is good
but One, God." Jesus is not here referring to moral goodness.
Notice that the man called him "GOOD Teacher." Jesus is
responding to the man's address, "GOOD Teacher" and
responding to the goodness of his teaching, not talking about
moral goodness. Now observe what the Scriptures say and
Jesus himself said about his teaching:

A man can receive nothing unless it has been

given to him from heaven. (John 3:27).

Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every

good thing given and every perfect gift is from
above, coming down from the Father of lights,
with whom there is no variation or shifting
shadow" (James 1:16-17).

My Teaching is not mine, but His who sent me.

If any man's will is to do His will, he shall know
whether the teaching is from God or whether I
am speaking on my own authority. He who speaks
on his own authority seeks his own glory but he
who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true,
and in him there is no falsehood. (John 7:16-18).

Rabbi, we know that You are a Teacher come from

God for no one can do these signs that you do
unless God is with him. (John 3:2; cf. 1:6).

When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will

know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own,
but I speak these things as the Father taught
me. (John 8:28).

The words that I say to you I do not speak on

My own, but the Father abiding in Me does His
works.... the word which you hear is not mine,
but the Father's who sent me. (John 14:10, 24).

'GOOD Teacher'.... Why do you call me GOOD? No

one is GOOD but God alone. (Mark 10:18).

[YAHWEH]: I will raise up for them a prophet like

you from among their brethren, and I will put
 MY words in his mouth, and he shall speak to
them all that I command him. (Deuteronomy
18:18).

Moses said, "The Lord God [YAHWEH]

will raise up for you a prophet from
your brethren as he raised me up. You
shall listen to him in whatever he tells
you. (Acts 7:22 RSV).

In response to being called "GOOD Teacher," Jesus indicates

that "no one is good but God alone." What he means is
abundantly clarified by other statements he makes about his
teaching. His good teaching is not his own but his Father's
who sent him. Jesus here denies that he is good. "Why call
ME good [teacher]. No one is good but God alone."

PROOF: Jesus denied that he was God

Proof 15. Jesus' Father indicates Israel has know no other God besides
Him.

Out of Egypt I called My son. (Hosea 11:1)

This was to fulfill what had been spoken by the

Lord through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called
My Son." (Matthew 2:15).

Because this verse refers to Jesus, it is necessarily God the Father who
said at Hosea 11:1, "Out of Egypt I called my son." And it is the exact
same identity who says this in chapter 13:

Yet I YAHWEH your God ever since the land of Egypt, and
you shall know no God but Me; For there is no Savior
besides Me.

PROOF: God the Father indicates Israel knew no God but Him.

Proof 16. God the Father indicates there is no God besides Him.

The Holy Spirit proceeds from God the Father:

But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from
the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father,
He will testify of Me. John 15:26.

The Spirit is poured out at Pentecost, and Peter accordingly proclaims:

This Jesus God has raised up, of which we are all witnesses.
33 "Therefore being exalted to the right hand of God, and
having received from the Father the promise of the Holy
Spirit, He poured out this which you now see and hear. (Acts
2:33-34)

Jesus pours out the Father's Holy Spirit as the Old Testament
prophesied several times. And Peter had quoted one of those
prophecies:
 For these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is [only] the
third hour of the day. 16 "But this is what was spoken by the
prophet Joel: 17 'And it shall come to pass in the last days,
says God, > on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall
prophesy, Your young men shall see visions, Your old men
shall dream dreams. 18 And on My menservants and on My
maidservants I will pour out My Spirit in those days; And
they shall prophesy. 19 I will show wonders in heaven above
And signs in the earth beneath: Blood and fire and vapor of
smoke. 20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, And the
moon into blood, Before the coming of the great and
awesome day of the LORD. 21 And it shall come to pass
[That] whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be
saved.'

And when we go back and check this passage in Joel, we find:

Thus you will know that I am in the midst of Israel, And that
I am the LORD your God, And there is no other; And My
people will never be put to shame. 28 "It will come about
after this That I will pour out My Spirit on all mankind;
And your sons and daughters will prophesy, Your old men
will dream dreams, Your young men will see visions. 29
"Even on the male and female servants I will pour out My
Spirit in those days. 30 "I will display wonders in the sky and
on the earth, Blood, fire and columns of smoke. 31 "The sun
will be turned into darkness And the moon into blood Before
the great and awesome day of the LORD comes. 32 "And it
will come about that whoever calls on the name of the LORD
will be saved.

PROOF: God the Father indicates there is no other.

Proof 17. The Father alone was the God of Jesus in contradiction to
Trinitarian doctrine.

The doctrine of the Trinity states that Trinitarians do not believe in

Three Gods but only in one God. By definition, this means that the only
God of anyone is a three person being and that none of the three
persons of the Trinity are by themselves, each and apart from the other
two, a God of anyone. In other words, one cannot say that Jesus is a
God by Himself or that the Holy Spirit is a God by Himself or that the
Father is a God by Himself or this would result in three Gods. However,
the Scriptures declare that the Father is indeed a God by himself apart
from anyone else, the God of Jesus and is indeed a distinct God in his
own right, THE God of Jesus.

PROOF: The God of Jesus is the Father alone which contradicts the
Trinity doctrine which insists none of the three persons of the Trinity
are a God of anyone.

Proof 18. The One True God is a singular "Who,", "I," "Me," "He," and
"Him."

Trinitarians deny that God is a single person. However, the very

purpose of singular personal pronouns in either English or Hebrew is
to signify and identify a single person is in view. And there are
numerous passages where God, using singular personal pronouns of
Himself, indicates that there is absolutely no other God besides Him
alone. By definition, these singular personal pronouns identify the one
true God as one person. And indeed, Trinitarians unwittingly betray
themselves by admitting that singular personal pronouns signify and
identify a single person when they insist that these pronouns are used
of the Holy Spirit to indicate the Holy Spirit is indeed one single
person.

PROOF: The uses of singular personal pronouns proves the one true
God is a single person and Trinitarians unwittingly admit this fact
when they insist that the Holy Spirit is a single person because singular
personal prounouns are used to refer to the Holy Spirit.
