triune deity

Does Matthew 28:19 show the existence of a triune deity?

Does Matthew 28:19 show the existence of a triune deity?

Doesn't the command by Matthew's Jesus to, "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit" (Matthew 28:19) show the existence of a triune deity. Answer: Matthew 28:19 states: "Go therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit." Although the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are grouped together, this verse does not prove the existence of a triune deity. The verse merely indic

Jesus says, "I and the Father are one ." Doesn't this show that they are one in essence?

Jesus says, "I and the Father are one ." Doesn't this show that they are one in essence?

In John 10:30 Jesus says, "I and the Father are one [hen]." Doesn't this show that they are one in essence? Find out in this interesting post by Gerald Sigal. Answer: This statement does not suggest either a dual or triune deity. What John's Jesus meant by the word hen ("one") becomes clear from his prayer concerning the apostles: "That they may be one [hen], just as we are one [hen]" (John 17:22), which means that they should be united in agreement with one another as he (Jesus) is always uni

Is It Even Possible For One To Suffer For The Sins of Mankind?

Is It Even Possible For One To Suffer For The Sins of Mankind?

Continued from Part 22 Did Jesus suffer vicariously for the sins of mankind? Jesus is often portrayed as suffering vicariously for the sins of mankind.  No support for such a doctrine is to be found in verse 10.  The verse does not say that the servant offered himself on behalf of others.  Absolutely nothing is said about offering oneself for other people’s sins. The verse says, “If he would offer himself as a guilt-offering,” that is, a figurative expression concerning the servant’s willingn

Clarity Around The Prolonging Days And What It Means For You

Clarity Around The Prolonging Days And What It Means For You

Continued from Part 24 53:10:  “he shall prolong days” The concept of prolonging of days and that of gaining eternal life: The differences: The concept of a prolonged life cannot be treated as the equivalent of eternal life because in an eternal context, time of any duration is of no consequence.  Consequently, one cannot speak of an eternal being as having his days prolonged:  “Are Your days as the days of man, or Your years as a man’s days?” (Job 10:5).  God must be referred to as eternal:

Understanding How Jesus Shared His Portion of Spoils

Understanding How Jesus Shared His Portion of Spoils

Continued from Part 28 Jesus and the spoils of war shared with the mighty. What portion did Jesus share with the great, what spoil did he divide with the mighty? Who are the “great” and who are the “mighty” with whom he supposedly interacted and shared the “spoil”?   Where and what is the fulfillment?   Is fulfillment left to the “he’s coming any day now” second coming farce?  Christians, get over it, he’s not coming back–not then, not now, not ever. 53:12:  “because he had poured out his sou

Where Christian Beliefs of The Trinity Are Incorrect

Where Christian Beliefs of The Trinity Are Incorrect

PART 1:  INTRODUCING THE PROBLEM The notion of a triune deity In trinitarian Christian belief there are three conscious personalities existing in one divine being or substance:   the union in one God of Father, Son and Holy Spirit as three infinite, coequal and coeternal persons; one God in three persons. Many Christian scholars acknowledge that the concept of the Trinity cannot be substantiated from the Jewish Scriptures.  Nevertheless, there are misunderstandings of the Jewish Scriptures by

Where The New Testament Refutes The Christian Trinity

Continued from Part 1 PART 2:  THE PROBLEM OF THE SON The Master and the servant There are many New Testament passages that refute the Christian doctrine of the Trinity.  An examination of statements attributed to Jesus by the Gospels, shows that he never said he was God or a part of God.  Jesus spoke of his Father in heaven as his God (John 20:17), to whom he attributed superior authority, knowledge, and greatness (Matthew 20:23, Mark 13:32, John 14:28).  The Trinity doctrine says “the Fathe

How Could Jesus Still Be All Knowing After His Resurrection?

How Could Jesus Still Be All Knowing After His Resurrection?

Continued from Part 2 Similarly, when asked if he would “at this time” restore the kingdom of Israel (Acts 1:6) Jesus replied:  “It is not for you to know times or seasons which the Father has placed in His own jurisdiction” (Acts 1:7).  Are we to conclude that the “equal” partners of the triune godhead have powers and knowledge, which they do not share with each other?  Even after his supposed resurrection, Jesus is still not all-knowing but is said to receive increments of knowledge from God.
