  • "Let Us make man in Our image it means that whoever He is speaking with has a part in our creation..not that they are just witnesses to it, but that they too have created us."

    Ok then read the next verse....

    Gen 1:27 So God (singular) created man in his (singular) own image, in the image of God(singular) created he him; male and female created he them.

    This statement of "multiple" creators is non biblical.

    Context, context, context......

  • You believe intellectually you can convince.? Jesus taught through Paul that men like this cannot understand what is clear to believers who have the Spirit, he does not. The natural man understands not the things of God because they are spiritually discerned. A natural man is ignorant sounding like he just refuted what for two thousand years millions of believers believe. That is ego personfied.If you don't know God, you don't know God. I'm sure you will convince those who don't know God

  • @polopowers1 You need to read John 17:20-23, it clearly states it's a unity not a trinity, we can all be one with God just like Jesus..therefore it can't possibly be a trinity.

  • (2) Also, read Genesis 18, about how Yahweh appeared to Abraham. He appeared as "three men" to whom Abraham bowed to the ground before and offered service to. It is clear that the trinity is in the Old Testament, which dismisses anyone who thinks it's some new testament myth made up by Christians.

  • @citizenpetroff That is a wrong conclusion to come too. There are many angels in heaven,  the fact that God appeared with 2 others does not mean God is 3 people, it just means he had 2 others with Him, it also simply says that He does not work alone, that is very clear when God worked His miracles through Moses, God does not work alone, that is what Genesis 18 proves.

  • @karenvickery1 (1) Interesting, although it says in Genesis 18 that The LORD, or "YHWH" appeared to him...not YHWH and two angels. Also, when He speaks, it says "they said," Not 'The LORD said while the other two were silent' or 'the two angels said.' They spoke in unison, and were treated as one by Abraham. He said "My Lord" not 'My Lords' or 'My Lord and His messengers.' Also,

  • @citizenpetroff What it says is still no proof that God is 3 in one, it is simply that He has unity with whoever He is with, it is like when a man and woman marry it says the 2 become 1, it is a partenership, just as Moses partnered with God, why is it so hard for you to see this is what is going on, it's so easy to see that and the bible is a reflection of this constant partnership with God and others, God tells us He will put His Word in our mouths, it's a partnership.

  • @karenvickery1 Jesus said that He came down from Heaven. God the Father obviously remained up in Heaven. This makes them two distinct persons. Jesus cannot be an angel because angels are created beings, not Creators. John 1:3 & Phi. 1:16 tells us Jesus made all things.

  • @karenvickery1(1) Indeed, itis not "proof" that He is three in one, as it does not specifically say that, but to compare it with how He used Moses for His will is almost humourous, no offense..because considering that it says "Let Us make man in Our image" it means that whoever He is speaking with has a part in our creation..not that they are just witnesses to it, but that they too have created us. It is completely different, so whoever you believe He was speaking with, they have

  • @karenvickery1 (2) created us with Him, therefore making them our creators. Why would we worship only one of our creators if there are more than one? Doesn't that seem disrespectful? It would be like loving and respecting one parent and not the other. What this does prove is that we have more than just one creator, something that was unexplainable until Yeshua came and then left us with Ruach HaKodesh. It was at that time that more of our God's identity was revealed to us. Peace and blessings :)

  • @citizenpetroff You need 2 read John17:20-23 Jesus says he prays that all of them may be one Father, just as you are in me & I am in you. May they also be in US..it also says that they may be one as we are one: I in them & you in me. It's saying we can all be in God just like Jesus is, it is a unity not a trinity if we can all be in God just like Jesus,think about that scripture it changes everything you have been taught about the trinity.Its a unity, we are not creators, because we are in unity

  • (1) In Genesis 1:26, Yahweh Himself says "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;" Since this is true, I cannot even begin to understand why the Jews were ever monotheistic (well..monotheistic in the way that they are..because Yahweh IS one God...but He is three in one).

  • @citizenpetroff Maybe He was talking to the angels in heaven, did you ever think of that? Genesis also says that the sons of God went with human woman and created giants, so I would say that there were other beings around who we know little of and maybe they were the ones God was talking with when He said, "Let Us make man in our image..

  • @karenvickery1 (2) if He were speaking to the angels in heaven, then they, too are our creators (since He said Let US make man in our image). And so if they are our creators, why would we have power over them one day in heaven? Also, why then, would we not worship them? Although it is an interesting thought, that he was speaking to them in these verses..it wouldn't make sense. Peace and blessings. :)

  • @citizenpetroff Jesus said that he came to serve that he is the servant...that type of thinking also suggest that we are the masters over Jesus....

  • @karenvickery1 Okay, well let's look at what did Yeshua do by being a servant to us..He humbled Himself (as He is part of Elohim) and He set an example for us. His first visit to Earth was to teach us, and to give us everlasting forgiveness for our sins.

  • @karenvickery1 "Let Us make man in our image..actually it was Emmanuel (aka Yahshua) speaking to the elohim (aka angels)

  • Completely arrogant video.... U need to better understand your subject, you clearly know nothing about the trinity

  • Woow you are a complete idiot please do your research more in depth before posting a video like this that is completely arrogant

  • @4444jonn I'll say the same thing towards you, except about the video thing.

  • 1 Corinthians 8:6

    yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.

    1 Timothy 2:5

    For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

  • The bereans did not just believe by faith when Paul preached to them but searched the scriptures daily to make sure what he said was true. May we do the same

  • For a simple explanation of the Trinity see here

  • Jesus made the Jews very uncomfortable when He said " ...before Abraham was, I AM" They knew exactly what He meant which explains why they picked up stone to stone Him. Why didn't Jesus correct Thomas when he referred to Him as "...my Lord and my God"? Unless Jesus is God, Thomas would have been rebuked for using the name of the Lord in vain. In the OT God said "Behold, the man has become as one of US..." (Gen. 3:22)

  • @55k3v1n You have no clue what you're talking about, seek my playlist /playlist?list=PLBB18747DF7099­A4C and be set free from your satanic belief.

  • @TheGenuineChristian nah I don't have to go to any Watchtower-based playlist to understand what the scriptures say. "before Abraham was I AM" was Jesus way of saying that He is the I AM of Exodus 3:13-14. This would have come across as blashphemy to the unbelieving Jews which explains the picking up stones. Praise God for His making it so average believers can understand His precious word! I don't need a secondary (e.g.: Watchtower=false prophet) source

  • @55k3v1n Nah, I don't have to read anything behind "nah I don't have to go" to see you're going to babble about some passage already refuted on the url I provided. So stupid of you. Bye.

  • @TheGenuineChristian I suppose you use the false Watchtower translation with its heretical twisting of the original text. The W.T. Babel & Tract Society has been clearly demonstrated to be "a corrupt tree that bringeth forth evil fruit". They say Jesus returned invisibly & in secret. Jesus warned that false prophets will say He returned and is in "the secret chambers". Jesus said "believe it not". (Matt. 24:23-27). He said that all the world will know it when He returns.

  • @TheGenuineChristian Have you read Zechariah 2:8-11? Jehovah is spoken of sending Jehovah (the Messiah) into the world. "Jehovah will send Me...and then you will know that I am Jehovah" Two Jehovahs working together. Same as in Genesis 19:24. "Then Jehovah rained upon Sodom & Gommorah brimstone & fire FROM Jehovah in heaven" Notice the two Jehovahs. The one Jehovah (with two angels) visited Abraham in Gen. chapter 18.

  • @55k3v1n I have the NIV version and it says..For this is what the LORD Almighty says; "After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you -..... My NIV Bible in the study notes says this Glorious One would be the angel of The LORD, and that's coming from a group that preaches the trinity, yet in this verse they see it as the angel of the LORD, not anything to do with the trinity.

  • @karenvickery1 Angel can mean two things: 1.) messenger 2.) actual angelic beings. Actual angelic beings are often used by God as messengers. The word "angel" is used of God, Christ, men and certain spirit beings. But literal angels, including Michael the archangel, are created supernatural beings (Philippians 1:16). They can never be creators as in John 1:3. "All thing were made by Him (not Michael), and without Him (not Michael) was not anything made that was made"

  • Jesus is the Son of God. He came to earth from heaven and gave his perfect human life as a ransom sacrifice. His death and resurrection made salvation to eternal life possible for those exercising faith in him. He is now ruling as King of God’s heavenly Kingdom, which will soon bring peace to the entire earth. Jesus never claimed equality with God and thus is not part of a Trinity- John 3:16; 14:28; Revelation 11:15.

  • great movie to convince people who cannot think :) keep it up :)

  • @CarmineFragione,lol you said jesus does not have a God! Read john 20:17 you damn idiot.

  • The Trinity teaching is full of crap.

  • One is one. Clearly 1 = 1

  • Trinitarians lie about Marc 13:32, they simply say that Jesus said this while being on earth, now that He is with His Father, He knows this perfectly, when He comes back. So here is a very good example of how truth from Jesus in the bible is forced and twisted through the doctrine. People repent of this doctrine, Jesus is King, God is His Father, let the spirit guide you in all truth

  • the Bible on face value, is the failed story of the Nation of Israel. Israel fell in 722 B.C. the Kingdom of Judah fell in 597 B.C. and though the Jews attempted to resurrect Israel they all failed, until Jesus Christ came. God by His Mercy , came into the world as a man, who would then change the failed story of Israel, overcoming 96 Curses of God as to why the Jews failed. Jesus fulfills the failed story of the Jews and changes the course into Success, altering the world forever.

  • The Catholic Theologians are the best the world has ever seen on the Divinity of God, and the Bible, The Trinity is the first doctrine of Methodology of the Divine Nature of God in the Torah Bible Genesis chapter One, verse One, it opens in the Second Person Tense of Speech, the Narrator, is there, before Creation, speaking on behalf of God, the First Person of Interest. So the Father and Son is before Material Creation, an idea of Method Speaking, out of the Mind of God, Jesus is God.

  • The Jewish Scholars all know the Bible was written in the Trinitarian Format of Three Person Tenses of Speech, the Narrator, the Characters and God as He appears and speaks as Himself, but all the Voices come out of the one mouth of a High Priest, who stands before the People and speaks for the People, he speaks for Himself and he speaks for God. Anyone with a basic College Literature background, knows it is all true, the Ancient Story Teller is God Himself and He owns all the People in Him

  • If the Torah only had God as One, then the Bible in Genesis One, would have opened with the speech by God saying " In the beginning, I GOD , created the heavens and the earth" But before the Creation began, God Divined to be Father and Son , that the Torah Bible, as equal to God, as Eternal, before Creation was Torah , that the Narrator opens the speech of the Torah, not God. Narration is Second Person Tense, Quotations in First Person Tense, Many characters as Third Person Tense

  • "In the Beginning God created the heavens and the earth" The Torah opens in the narrative with the Second Person Tense of Speech, not in the First Person, as if God was speaking as Himself, such that we see by the Narrative Style of the Bible as it was written, that One Author and  the same one sole Actor, is carrying out verbally all the Story , out of One Mouth . So the Trinity is the first lesson of the Torah Bible itself, or you all fail to understand the Method of Literature.

  • The Trinity is the very Method by which the Torah Bible was written , so as to be God's Word and spoken out orally by One Messiah or High Priest, in the hearing of the People. using the classic literary divine or device or speaking in Three Person Tenses. the very first line of the Bible " IN the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" is spoken by a Narrator on behalf of God, in the Second Person Tense. God is quoted to speak out as Himself in the third verse "Let there be Light"

  • Example of the Trinity, is the Divine Power of the Ancient Story Teller. He is but One Author of the Story, He alone builds His Stage, and He alone creates an Audience, and He alone plays all the parts of the various people who live and speak as part of the Story, as He tells it all out of His own One Mouth , but can use Costumes, and wear many Masks, while changing the sound of His own Voice to then play out all the Characters in His own Story , by Himself, That is what is Divine 3=1

  • What is "Divine" what does that mean ? Divine does not mean all powerful and ruling ! !Divine means that the entire Oneness of the Godhead, is able to give out a division of labor to compartmentalize the Self into Many Places, Powers and Principalities. Divine ,as an example means the white light going through a Prism of Glass,divides apart into many colors of the Spectrum, to show how what is One, can also become as itself a Division of Many Powers that when gathered back are restored as One

  • The Trinity is the Way , that God by His own Being, having a Mind with a Placebo of Free Will as the King on His Throne,  What He speaks, that is that which comes to be, and then passes away, like a "Mid Summer Night's Dream" God has the Way to also see Himself, to bring the outer Being of His entire Mind into a focus of the Method God Created the World, to bring into one place Inside God, the very appearing of God, just as you might see yourself in your own dreams. Made in the Image

  • The Trinity is a doctrine adopted into the christian congregation 4th century of our common era. The points this guy brought out are so true. I've challenged Triniarians on the issue of the scriptures. I see why the doctrine doesn't make sense. Clearly it isn't a Bible teaching at all. It's been read into the scriptures, which often makes them contradictory

  • Genesis 1:12 God gives the Tree as a singular Gift, but having Three appearances , the Tree, the Fruit of the Tree and the Seed of the Tree, This is Eternal Life, one gives to the other and the other bears up seed that again brings back into the world of life, the same Tree.  It goes around and around, Tree to Fruit to Seed, and back to Tree . The Original Tree is the Father, the Seed is the Son, the Fruit of the Holy Spirit moistens the Earth to Raise the Dead to Life. "TREE OF LIFE"

  • You continue to believe what you believe, and I will continue to believe the solid foundation of the scriptures themselves..

  • @itsdashoes Jesus said of the Scriptures, " You search the Scriptures, for in them you believe you have eternal life, but it is they ( plural) that testify of me " The Bible is nothing without Jesus Christ. The Bible does not make Jesus God, Jesus proves by His own appearance in the world , that He is God, and then as God, Jesus causes the Bible to come true as it was inspired as the Idea of Heaven and Earth, and Hell below. Jesus is God making the Bible turn into a True Story at last

  • What are you talkin about, dude? I'm quoting the scriptures...God IS the God and Father of our Messiah Yahshua according to the scriptures.....The "they" that Jesus is referring to are the prophets and scribes of the torah and tanahk(if i spelled that right) not multiple Gods...If everything is a non-reality and just a figment of God's imagination then everything would be Yahweh and He would be the rapest and the murderer on the street, and that is not the case according to the scriptures.

  • The Father is the Tree, The Father bears out the Fruit, That is the Holy Spirit, The Holy Spirit is as a Woman's Womb, within it, is the SEED ! The Seed is the Son of the Father, The Seed carries the Information and Law that caused the Seed to transfigure itself over time into appearing as the Father, the Tree. So the Father sends the Son with the Holy Spirit to Moisten the Earth with a Feminine Grace, The Watered Earth bearing up the Seed of the Father, becomes the Father on Earth

  • The idea of the Tree is also Trinity idea. The Natural plant has roots, trunk, branches, leaves, and that is a Tree. This same Tree will reproduce itself by a Method of Three Steps, The Tree bears Fruit, The Fruit carries Seed, the Seed fallen on dry ground, is moistened by the fruit long enough to begin the Seed to grow a new life. The Seed then becomes the Tree, The Tree , the Fruit, the Seed, Three apparent stages of a process of Eternal Life, but it is all ONE IDEA. 3=1

  • Divine is an idea associated with enumerated Powers and Elements which combining two or three, creates a Unity of Power, Take a Wheel, one third is painted Red, one third is Blue, one third is Yellow. You see Three colors, But with Action, Spin the wheel around, and you see a mystery, the Three Basic Colors separated out of White Light, returns to the Unity of Three as One. The Wheel appears only as WHITE, while spinning, you see no yellow, no red, no blue, only White. Trinity

  • If anyone tells us the story of their own dream. They say " I saw myself in the dream" That is already the First Person seeing their own self as if the viewer was acting as a Second Person looking at the First Person. Then , when the dreamer says, in my dream three men came to me and told me secrets. Then the dreamer, whose visitation of three men , was happening only in the one mind of the dreamer, is now speaking of them in the Third Person Tense. But all these Persons are One.

  • Catholics have always understood the Trinity. How Jesus is fully God, in God who is One Being. The Mind of God is Active to be Divine. One Author, is also the only One Actor in the whole story, He owns the Stage, He owns all persons who appear on the stage, And the Power that causes all to live and speak, is directly a force from God's Mind , who is One. So, God is the Father. God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit. God can appear as these three and all persons involved, God is Divine

  • The One Being of God appears to give the Creation it's Order by Law and it's Material Substance. The matter of the Universe, is a portion of God, which God is controlling by His Thoughts, so that they obey and assemble what appears real, but it is only existing in Time and in Time the very Universe will dissolve. So the Universe is no more real than the Dream of the Dreamer, as long as the Dreamer has Power of Divine Character in Three Person Tenses to cause the Dream to last a Time .

  • Why would the Muslims deny God the same very thing the Muslims do every night when they dream their own dreamworlds ? They play gods, making characters as real as day appear in their dreams , who walk and talk and play their parts in a short story. The dreamer as a human being, made in God's Image, they also project the Image and Likeness of themselves as a person then so appearing among the others in the dream and the dreamer sees the SELF as the SELF is also appearing, Divine Act= Trinity

  • Jesus is God, God came down from Heaven, as the Unapproachable Light, which then cannot be seen by mortal eyes, nor has the eyes of any Angel, ever seen God. God must move as the Spirit Moves through the Heavens and Earth as the Way of Creation, As Light through a Prism of Elements which cause the Rainbow to Divine white light into many colors and takes the Glory of God into many Powers and Principalities. When the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost convene and meet in one place= Jesus

  • When the natural mind of the human being dreams, it also works by the Way of Three Person Tenses of Speech , exactly like the Method of the Ancient Story Teller.You stage the dream out of your one mind. You speak voices attached to Third Person Characters who appear with you in the dream. You see yourself and you think in the Second Person Tense about seeing yourself. When the image and likeness of yourself in the dream speaks, You then speak as yourself in the First Person Tense TRINITY

  • The human mind, seeing God lent a talent to the human being, that is a mind and a thought and a dream world that occurs inside the mind as it is dreaming. As the man dreams up a world with characters and places and things, all that happens, all the people seen in the dream, they all are part of the human being as the dream. The human can also appear as the self within the dream, which explains that God can appear in His Creation, as it were His Dream, and God appeared here as Jesus Christ

  • The Oneness of God is not separated from the Creation, the Creation, like a big balloon, is entirely occurring inside the Being of God, as with it was a Dream going on in God's own Mind. The World by the Word Spoken, means that within the realm of the Mind and Power of God's Being, as God thinks a thing to be, the Elements appear and assemble in place, so that Jesus is fully God, as God sent Himself, into the Mind of God, where the World is now and God appears in His own Thoughts.

  • The Trinity is based on the Unity or Oneness of God as Light appears white, but having made the world by Elements that Divide or give God Divine Appearance. in the world, for God to appear, one must collect all the essential powers and behaviors and designs, merge them all back into Oneness and what there is, as the One, is God. Light through the Prism to be Rainbow, as God set the Bow as His Personal Sign of Appearing, suggests Messiah would be Father, Son ,Holy Ghost standing in One Place.

  • What is the Secret Sign of God that shows the One in Heaven ,becomes Many appearances on Earth , that only when taken up together as a full set of Powers , all into One Place,that God is then fully appearing.The Rainbow given as the Sign to Noah, takes the Pure Light , which all it's rays, interwoven as a Single Fabric of Light, White Light. The Prism Effect of Divinity or Division, the Elements by which God tore God apart to be Material, that takes White Light into Many Colors. Trinity

  • What is the Ancient Story Teller ? It is the very Trinity ! The Author is One Being, and is the only Actor, who is appearing in many ways , upon His own Stage, like Alfred Hitchcock did to appear in his own works called a "Cameo" . God acts as the Speaker or Narrator, so teaching about God, in the Second Person Tense. God uses many Third Person voices, to give life to the people in the story , but only God speaks of it. Then God speaks in the First Person Tense, as Himself, 3=1

  • The Trinity is the very method the Bible was written to be spoken. Genesis verse one reads by the Speaker,who is a Second Person tense device, already existing before the Creation happens to be the Announcer, speaking about God, the First Person of Interest, but speaking as if God was Divine to be referring to Himself , Literally, as the other person, in a Three Person Tense Method Acting of the Ancient Story Teller, " IN the Beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth" ( who is speaker ?)

  • The Jews will argue, " Jesus is not God, unless you are saying God is All, and then we can say Jesus is also God" But this is wickedness, to claim all the Jews behave exactly as would be the behavior of God . So they intentionally lie. They are not God, because no matter how many Jews pray , they cannot command the Universe to bring into existence their own wishes. Only the Messiah is the One Anointed, in whom is the Word and the Spirit assembled in perfect Behavior to Command Creation

  • Jesus is Jesus...Jesus is not The Most High God because God is both his God and Father. Jesus is not his own God and Father(Rom.15:6, 2 Cor. 1:3....Jesus did not pray to himself and He is not mediating between himself and men...He is not seated at his own right hand....God is not a liar....God said that He is Yahweh and He doesnt change..God also said that He is not a man nor the son of man...Jesus is a man right now as I type this..God is unchanging...

  • If the Most High God has a God, then this "Most High God" is not the Most High God...Jesus has a God..Therefore he isn't the only true God as His Father is...This is common sense, my dude.. I called you a duncecap because I thought that you were intentionally denying the obvious..

  • @itsdashoes Jesus is God, He does not have a God, He is INSIDE GOD AS ONE. The Mind of God has His own Free Will and His own Pleasure to Be or not to Be. God is Divine. Divine is a word that means " Division" of Powers, If God was One, God has One Power in One Place, in One Time. but as God is Divine, God can expand within His Mind to be many voices, many places , many times, and yet all this Activity is God who is One, God is the Father ,the Son, the Holy Ghost.

  • There is a profound difference between my dreams and the reality around me. God had dreams but He made His dreams reality..There is a difference between you're saying about The one God, and the things that the scriptures say about the one God. Jesus has a God..He calls YahWeh his God..Yahweh states that He IS NOT a man nor the son of man..Jesus is a man...God is unchanging..What you are saying about Yahweh contradict what Yahweh says about Yahweh..

  • @itsdashoes see you are wrong, This World, as a Dream occurring in the Mind of God is just as limited by Time, as the dreams going on in your own mind. This world did not preexist the idea of this world. This world is the product of an Intelligent Idea working inside what is then the Being of God, as if as it is thought to be, it is, but it is not a permanent reality at all, It began and it ends. So, your own mind is not that different than God, and in Salvation you share One End

  • @itsdashoes When you have your own dream, there is a world appearing, caused by your own mind at thought, Then you see the dream world, within you, and suddenly you also see you have appeared as the person of yourself in the dream, and you see yourself and you see yourself talking to other people in the dream. That is a DIVINE power of the mind to separate yourself to be the Observer and the Person seen in the dream all at the same time . Jesus is God appearing in His Creation.

  • God in Heaven is One, but not "Divine" Divine means that what is One, has been given to be Many. God made the World by opening the Oneness into a Divine Action , or a collection of Elements that when all Elements are working together, the very world appears as a "Thing" . For God to appear on Earth , the Invisible Oneness must obey the Division of Labor that gave Creation it's appearance, The Messiah is the High Priest who puts together the Torah Word, with the Spirit in Himself= 3

  • In the Heaven, God is One, because nothing there is happening. The Active Verb of God in Creation is only where the term "DIVINE" is applied. In action God comes down from the One Place , into the Prism of the Elemental World and it's Ways, and God separated Himself to achieve the Creation , so it all exists inside the Being of God, God as One is Invisible, God in the Trinity is expressive of deeds by the Law, by the Spirit coming down, and by the Messiah, Together 3 is Jesus.

  • "Hear O Israel, the Lord, our God, the Lord is One " This is not philosophical, but of the Verbal Function of the Shekinah Glory which came down into the Holocaust Fire , and jumped into the Priest giving the Offering, killing the ordinary life of the Priest, taking over the body and now God used the "dead" body to Raise it to Glory ,and so God became Visible in that appointed time . The Jews who witnessed the Unity of Three, the Word, the Spirit and the body of the High Priest, spoke Shema

  • So, in the Torah , the Anointed High Priest, beginning with Moses, the Levite, was possessed by the Shekinah Glory , the Fiery Spirit, the El Shaddai , so that temporarily, as a foreshadow of Messiah , Moses is now a Unity of Two Person , he is Moses the Teacher, and inside his body is God the Almighty Yahweh. When Moses says " I AM" while in the Presence, then God has taken over the flesh and come into Moses' body and is controlling his mouth . Jesus is the final Appearing of Yahweh.

  • The Law of Moses, in Deuteronomy 19:15 demands Proof of any Testimony by two or three witnesses. That is why the Trinity is the Method by which the Written Torah, goes into the Teacher, that is one Witness ,the Torah. Then the Spirit comes down from heaven upon the Teacher and He is moved into the Presence, a Possession of God of the Teacher, so that when the Teacher reads the Torah aloud, He is standing perfectly in the place of God Yahweh and is One, The Shema Oneness is this Trinity

  • God did not simply appear to the Jew , their claim to see God personally on the mountain is a false interpretation. They saw the lightning, they saw the thunder, they saw the Mountain of God Quaking, but they did not see God. Moses saw God face to face, which means, Moses saw God appear in the midst of a Tree, Burning Bush, took off his shoes and the Glory went from the Bush into Moses' body. That possession, is God the Father , moving into the Son of God, and the Way is Holy Spirit

  • So Moses, showed us the Trinity. In Exodus chapter four, verse 16 God Yahweh speaks to Moses the method and way that God is going to prove Himself by Three Witnesses to the Testimony that it is God Yahweh who is appearing and inspiring to cause the Word of God to be Heard. God says to Moses, ' I will show you what to do, you will put the Word into Aaron 's mouth, and then he will be as if your own mouth , and you will be as if God Yahweh to him" Trinity reveals Three Witnesses.

  • In Deuteronomy 32:6 Moses asks the people, "Is not God your Father ?" Then Moses is seen as himself the only speaker present before the people, singing the "Song of Moses" Moses is possessed of God Almighty, the Invisible God Yahweh has come down over the body of Moses and God is speaking out of Moses' mouth saying " SEE NOW THAT I MYSELF AM HE" This is the Trinity, God is appearing as Father, but His appearing is inside the Son of God, who then is Moses , by the Holy Spirit.

  • Deuteronomy 32:39 "See now that I Myself Am He " One Being is using First Person Tense Speech to say "I Myself" and referring to a Second Person Tense " Am He" It is like saying I am that other guy, the other guy is myself. The First and Second Person tense of speech is employed to permit one being to speak of himself as if he was another person , and so speaks of the other person, which is then himself, The Bible used Three Person Tenses of speech to read the text.

  • You Carmine are a duncecap....You make no sense and you know it....Those are singular personal pronouns..When someone says I myself am he, it remains one person speaking of himself and no one else, dude....When someone makes the declaration that "I myself am he", it's the same as saying "That would be me"..

  • @itsdashoes You are the Idiot. The Bible was written to be Spoken by Messiah, the One mouth used, opens by the Ancient Story Teller Method, of Three Person Tenses of Speech. So that One Author , who is the only Actor on the Stage, can wear a mask, appear in costume and make many voices. and the people listening understand that is a Divine Power , One Being, but appearing as Three Witnesses , of Himself. So Deuteronomy 32 was spoken by Moses, as if Moses' mouth was the Mouth of God

  • @itsdashoes  when Deuteronomy 32:39 is spoken or sung out, It is Moses , the Person Speaking. saying " SEE NOW THAT I MYSELF AM HE" This is how dumb you are. The Speaker is Moses , and the sound is being made by his mouth, not a voice out of the skies. The "Person ' the people are seeing, is MOSES. They see Moses saying to them " See now, I Myself Am He" Moses has assumed the very Identity of God Emanuel, showing God the Covenanting God, the Invisible Shekinah is now inside Moses.

  • Jesus is Yahweh God the Name is the same Name Yehoshuah is leavened out of YHWH or Yahweh. The First verse of Bible "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" That is an example of speaking a a narrator in the second person tense, about the First Person God. The Bible uses the Three Person Tense of speech method, where one speaker acts out all the persons in the story, which was commonly called the Ancient Story Teller. One Being speaks in Three Person Tenses ,

  • lol look what this funny guy says at 7:56 ''that God has given you his spirit to lead you to all truth'' THATS THE HOLY SPIRIT yet he doesnt believe in the trinity

  • the trinity was started by emperor constantine people please research this. ALLAH is the ONE AND ONLY CREATOR OF THE HEAVENES AND THE EARTH. WORSHIP HE WHO CREATED JESUS AND CREATED YOU. SALAMS TO U ALL

  • @82ayda Wow! What theological aptitude and first rate knowledge of Christian history. Actually such ignorance of the clear record Christian history is an insult to Christians, although I don't believe you that is really is your intention.

    Amongst the sacred Divinely inspired Old Testament have you ever read 63rd chapter of the book of Isaiah? Or do you believe that was written by Emperor Constantine?

  • Read the Quran and what it says about jesus and the trinity and it will fascinate you :) may you find peace and direction from the ONE and ONLY God :)

  • The trinity is purely founded on illogic. I dare anyone to prove me otherwise. It is redundant in its essence.

  • John 1 tells us that Jesus is God. also, we don't know all the things that the apostles said that made the jews want to kill them but i'm fairly certain saying Jesus was God was one of them since multiple times the new testement says He is. I could say more but I honestly doubt it would do any good. you would probably just say I'm acting on fear based logic. while i would like to ask you where is your fear? because the Bible makes it clear that we are to fear God.

  • @memaustin Yes, we are to fear God, but God is not Jesus, because Jesus was man, and man is created and God is uncreated, so you cannot be created and uncreated at the same time, it is a contradiction, and God said according to the bible, I change not, and God becoming a man, His nature changed, another contradiction. Fear the creator of Jesus, my friend, for Jesus said The father is greater than I, father meaning the creator of everything, Jesus was a servant and Messenger of God,

  • The Trinity Scientifically Explained.

    /watch?v=-9vJUqeZapU

  • God is One Being of Substance, In His Mystery, And in His Mind. God is limitless to present His expression of Will, as any number of persons appearing in the world, which world is all inside the Mind of God to His own Domain. God is as a man is dreaming, seeing persons in the mind and giving life to each character, yet God is the Proprietor of all things in Himself as One Being. God came down through the prism of dimensions by which God made the world a Creation ,to appear as Jesus.

  • The origins of "Person" is the Latin term "Personna" which does not pertain to the material being ,such as a human being. Personna refers to the ethereal nature of the mind to act and behave as many persons of character, but all coming from one substance of a material being, the human being, etc. A leopard cannot change it's spots, but a human being can change his or her mind. God is able to repent of the many persons God is capable as presenting Himself as. Father ,Son ,Holy Ghost

  • Jesus Christ is Yahweh God, God Almighty, the "Everlasting Father" The child born unto us, says Isaiah Nine. is called "Mighty God" "Everlasting Father" All the various Names of God, as many as 99 names, all pertain to One, that is Jesus Christ. But God the Invisible came down from Heaven, and He is Shekinah which wrapped flesh and blood around Himself, just as God can wrap the clouds around Him, God came in the flesh . " I Myself Am He" Deut. 32:39 Trinity is One God 3=1

  • The Bible was written for One Being and one alone, to be the Speaker , who then uses the Three Person Tenses of delivery as the Ancient Story Teller. Out of the same one mouth of God, the Finger of God that wrote the Torah, God speaks for all the people, making many voices and wearing many masks to show "Third Person Tense of Speech" God also speaks of Himself from apart any direct quotations, so being a Second Person Narrator. Then God speaks out of the Scripture in the First Person Tense.

  • The very first presentation of God in the Torah, which Torah is called "Eternal Word of God" thus equal to God, the Torah opens not in the First Person Tense of God speaking, but in the Second Person Tense of the Narrator or Teacher saying " In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth" So ,before the Creation , God was Divine in His One Mind as Two Persons of interest, God the Creator who then speaks in the First Person Tense in verse three of Genesis One, and then the Narrator

  • Jesus never said He is a Jew. Jesus said He is the Son of Man, He said he is the Son of God, and He said " I am the Truth" No Jew can say he is the truth, only God is the Truth.  You made fallacious arguments and added them up to even worse conjecture, so far from the truth, try to begin to prove Jesus was a Jew. No Jewish father, Born of a Levite woman , Never saying He was a Jew, referring to others as "the Jews" Prove your premises, don't assume anything.

  • If you say God is One, and then speak of Jesus, then you are saying Jesus had some separation of being a lesser person than God, even saying so in the qualitative sense, if not just the material sense. But God is not just a Noun or Collective Noun, in the Material Sense of a Being, God is also a Verb, in which the Action is as much the Identity of God as the substance involved. God is One, the Son is in the Father, there is only One Mind of God, and Jesus is God appearing in the flesh.

  • If an author of a story , wishes to, he can be the sole actor who delivers the performance of telling his own story, by being Divine. He opens his mouth to speak in Three Person Tense delivery. He wears a mask , he makes many voices. He does everything himself, on his own stage. And yet everyone in the audience understands. Even Alfred Hitchcock had the Divine Power to appear as himself doing a Cameo in his own films and staged presentations. His actors were His Property,

  • Jesus is God Almighty having three appearances. The Author and Sole Actor of the Torah is Yahweh. God is Divine, God speaks as Narrator in the Second Person Tense. God speaks for the people in the Third Person Tense. and God speaks as Himself , out of Scripture in the First Person Tense. Thus the Torah of the Ancient Story Teller, Yahweh, with one mouth , opens to all Characters essential in His own Story. God appears as the actor who wears many masks, makes many voices, but is One.

  • Jesus never once in the Gospels ever say He Himself was a Jew. You all fail. Jesus is God who has come down from Heaven, through the prism of the Way in which the world exists to appear as the Father, as the Son , as the Holy Spirit. If Jesus was a Jew, that would mean he had a human father. Jesus was born of Mary a daughter of the Levites and Jesus was adopted by Joseph, but Jesus was never a Jew. There is only One Being of God, Jesus , He is the Father, & Holy Ghost Persons.

  • Comment removed

  • Keep preaching the Truth....God bless you Sir

  • ur crazy on the trinity and i'll pray for you that you won't lead others astray... Jesus said ye believe in God., believe also in me... and Jesus also said he would send a comforter after he ascends to heaven... there's your trinity

  • I went to an evangelical Bible college and was taught the mainstream teaching on the Trinity. What I sometimes wonder is: if the Trinity is not explicitly stated in the Bible, how can you prove it is true using the Bible? I have often wondered about your last question too: if Jesus is fully God, how come he stated he did not know the time of his second coming? Another one that always baffled me was Jesus' prayer in the garden of Gethsemane. If Jesus is fully God was he praying to himself?

  • @spiritofhope82

    The Spirit of Truth precedes from the Father!! The Father is the source!!

    Everything derives from the Father, He is the source of all things!!

    All truth and all power comes from the Almighty Father!!

  • @spiritofhope82

    Jesus said, the Father gives the Holy Spirit to those that ask Him. Luke.11:13 - the Holy Spirit precedes from GOD our Father!!

    The Holy Spirit is the power, truth, anointing etc... that comes from GOD!! In other words, it's the way GOD accomplishes his will, by means of His power(Spirit).

    GOD anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for GOD was with him. Acts.10:38

  • @spiritofhope82 Peter said that the Father showed him not to call anyone unclean. So Peter understood that it was the Father. Through the spirit and through his Word (Yahshua) the Father made all things possible.

  • @spiritofhope82 this is where hebrew comes in to bring a greater understanding. The ruach is the breath of God. It is not a person. Yahweh is a spirit, and a holy one at that. LIke I said in my previous comment, I'm not gonna condemn your belief. If you see the ruach as a person then I'm prolly not gonna change your mind.

  • This guy is obviously clueless about what Trinitarians believe. If God speaks as singular its because God is ONE. Meaning ONE in nature if the Son speaks he speaks for the God head in General and the same goes for the Father and the Holy Spirit. If the Trinity meant 3 Gods than you would be right but we don't believe that we believe in One God in Nature in 3 Persons. This video is very misleading specially if someone who has little knowledge on this subject watches this may be mislead.

  • @EzekielThirty3Six

    No, the ONE TRUE GOD is the Father(Yahweh), there is no trinity!!

    There is only one GOD and Father of all, who is over all, and who is in us all. Ephesians.4:6

    No man has seen GOD at any time. If we love one another, GOD will dwell in us, and his love is perfected in us. Hereby know we that we dwell in him, and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 1John.4:12,13

    And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. Matt.23:9

  • @epic103 True, I agree, I recieved His mercy one year ago, the doctrine of the trinity is very odd, a lie that is polluting for centuries, and it not hounering Him and our Lord, it confuses my mind.

    Could you share your view on Genesis: And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness.

    thanks

  • @MrTruth111

    Thank you for your kind words, and sorry for not responding sooner!!

    In the account in Genesis, I believe GOD is speaking to his heavenly court!! It's just GOD making a declaration!!

    I certainly don't think Genesis.1:26 is referring to the trinity!! That's for sure!!

    Plus, not everything in the Bible is meant to be taken literally!! In the Bible there are a lot of parables, metaphors, storytelling etc... Not everything is literal!!

    All the best, Epic

  • @EzekielThirty3Six The only conclusion I have arrived at is that the Father, Yahweh, is greater than all, inclding the Son. Only the Father knows the day and the hour of when the Son will return. God is the Father, Yahweh. Yahshua is the Son of God, Yahweh. The Holy Spirit is the breath of God, the Ruach. The Ruach is not a self controlling deity by itself. It is the power of God. The idea of the trinity was actually made by the catholic church. But im not gonna condemn anyone on their belief.

  • @spiritofhope82

    I will raise them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like unto thee, and will put my words in his mouth; and he shall speak unto them all that I shall command him. Deuteronomy.18:18

    For Moses said, the LORD our GOD will raise up for you a prophet like me from amoung your own people; You must listen to everything he tells you. Acts.3:22

    When GOD raised up His servant, He sent him first to you to bless you by turning you away from your wicked ways. Acts.3:26

  • this is funny, jesus didnt believe in the trinity ... trinity is what christians believe about god based on the bible lol

  • 4th word into the bible and the doctrine of the Trinity is in your face, Gen 1v1 In the begining God...The word for God is Elohim meaning 3 or more. Look it up."Its meaning the Angels" you say. Well how come God claims creation as done by him ALONE??. No Angels involed in creation!.

    Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

    (Job 9:8) and Isa 37:16 and Nehimiah9:6

    These verses all claim resonsibility of creation to God alone yet he is (Elohim)

  • who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.

    (Php 2:6-7)

    Jesus didn't know some things because he had emtied himself.

  • THE TRINITY IS A PAGAN DOCTRINE WHICH CAME AFTER THE ERA OF JESUS (as) AND HIS FIRST FAITHFUL DISCIPLES.

    ROMAN GREEKS INVENTED IT SO IT CONFORMED TO WHAT THEY BELIEVED BEFORE.

    FOLLOWING JESUS (as) IS FOLLOWING PURE MONOTHEISM AND THAT'S IT.

  • @blugublu dear friend in Christ,if trinity is false, can you help me to understand why Jesus said he is Lord of Sabbath ?(matthew 12;8) , only God is Lord of Sabbath (Exo 20;8-12). in (john1;1-3) ,Jesus is God with father at the begining, match (Gen 1;-13) God ,God 's spirit, God's word (Jesus) together , not three Gods but one GOD created all things,which mean whatever God speak to Israel , Jesus and holy apirit are there.make sense or not ?

  • @jesusisisgod1

    Peace.

    It doesn't make any sense in your way if you read these passages:

    [John 20:17] ; [Luke 18:18-19] ; [Deut 13:1-10] ; [1Cor 11:3] ; [John 17:3] ; [Marc 12:28-34] ; [Matt 26:36-40].

    The son of MAN is the master of mankind because he's been given the autority by God who elected him as a noble prophet and a messiah, Jesus (as).

    If you want to say that the word of God is divinity, I would answer that everything would be gods because God created everything from His word.

  • @jesusisisgod1

    And Adam (as) would be a "greater god" than Jesus (as) since he was created without a father and without a mother. You see, if you want to build arguments to associate the divinity to a created thing, it doesn't make any sense.

    And to it, the Qur'an answers perfectly:

    3:59 { The similitude of Jesus before Allah is as that of Adam; He created him from dust, then said to him: "Be". And he was. }

    You see, it makes sense to say that THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD WITHOUT ASSOCIATES.

  • @blugublu dear friend, as I show you , base on the bible, Jesus is God and creator, old and new testament (john 1;1-3) (Isaiah 7;14)(9;6-7)(Rev 1;7-8) support this . Adam is creature, Lord Jesus is creator, he is God become man (1 tim 15-16),He humble and deny himself , (phili 2;1-11) born of a worman, born under law, (Gala 4;4-5)(john 1;14)(1 john 4;1-3)man lower than angel (Heb 2;9) man need God , he pray to God , man died, he died for our sin, he is son of man and son of God combine .

  • @jesusisisgod1

    Every passage that you linked has been entirely replied by Shabir Ally in debates between christians and muslims. It's always the same passages repeated again and again to stand on a PAGAN doctrine.

    For example: [Isaiah 7:14] is NOT about Jesus (as). If you want to understand the verse, you must read the following verses: [Isaiah 7:15-16]. All your argument is destroyed if you consider "HER BOTH KINGS". It is part of the history between the Assyrians and the Hebrews.

  • @blugublu dear friend , in (Isaiah 7;14) not finish yet , it was the prophecy about Jesus by that time before two kings, please read (7;15) plus, in Matthew 1;21-23) have given straight answer, Jesus is God with us. also in (isaiah7;14) is link to (8;8-10)(9;1-2)(9;6-7)(11;1)(1­1;10)(42;1-7)(40;10)(52;13-15)­(53;1-12)(61;1-2)(luke 4;17-20)(daniel 7;13-14) once again ,are you sure Islaim have been reply all of them ?? please read them carefully, Jesus loves you :)

  • @blugublu QURAN FROM FALSE ANGEL GABRIEL

    (luke 1;19-36)(matthew 1;21-23) God send angel Gabriel to Mary to fulfill what he have prophecy before, this baby will be the king of Jews, God with us, the saviour of the world.

    600 yrs later after the Gospel of Jesus , the other Angel Gabriel came to muhamm, carry the opposite message "Jesus is not God and son of God, he is not the saviour of the world, and he did not died on the cross...and worship Allah alone "

    satan pretend Gabriel .

  • @jesusisisgod1

    [John 20:17] ; [Luke 18:18-19] ; [Deut 13:1-10] ; [1Cor 11:3] ; [John 17:3] ; [Marc 12:28-34] ; [Matt 26:36-40]

    You don't read your bible. It must be hard to believe in a schizophrenic god.

    Also, the whole surah 39 from the Qur'an is for you. Meditate on it or not, to each one his own soul.

  • @blugublu ISLAM DON"T KNOW "LORD JESUS IS GOD AND CREATOR " (1) please be patient ,first, Did God say Jesus is God and will become flesh in order to fullfill father's will ? yes (Isaiah 7;14)(9;6-7)

    did prophet say God have a son that but we don't know ? yes,(Prov 30;-4)

    did Jesus say he is creator ?yes,(matthew 12;8) Lord of Sabbath is creator (Exo 20;8-12),

    Did Jesus claim he is holding all the authory from heaven and on earth ? yes (Matther 28;19)(john 3;31-36)(

  • @blugublu ISLAM DON"T KNOW " SON OF GOD" MEANS !!!! (2) Jesus have so many titles , two of them are Son of God and son of man, Islam brothes never realize about that. why it is ok for Jesus claim he is son of man,but not SON OF GOD ?? please read (john 5;17-18)(Matthew 27;13-44)(Matthew 27;40)(26;62-65)(john 19;7), father is God , son is God as well , father is tiger,son is tiget, same essence , you get that ! man from man,cat from cat , fish from fish , God from God .

    (Prove 8;12-36)

  • @blugublu ISLAM DON"T KNOW "GOD BECOME FLESH"

    Islam don;t believe Jesus because they confused what bible say. when God become flesh, he is 100 % act like you and me, eat ,drink ,sleep, tiredness, grief, fear ,pain, died.(matthwe 26;31-40) man need God on earth (john 20;17)he also humble himself ,glorify father (john 17;1-3)(Luke 18;18-19)(john 7;18),he is a light of Gentiles, covenant of people (Isaiah 49;6-8) therefore, he is head of Church and man (1 Cor 11;3)he never say he is not God !!!

  • Thank you!! I have read the Bible many times and the first thing I noticed that bothered me was that there was no early rapture anywhere to be found in the Bible, then I started realizing that the idea of the trinity did not make sense with what I was reading.

  • @olympics1234567 dear friend, don't give up, i have studied this subject more that five yrs, God is trinity, quickly give you some prove, Old testament say Jesus is God (Isaiah 9;6-7), New testament say Jesus is God (john 1;1-3)(rev 1;7-8), 10 commem support Jesus is God (Exo 20;8-10) Jesus said he is Lord of Sabbath (Matthew 12;8) "son of God " mean God, father is God , son is GOD as well , same essence, Jews kill Lord Jesus by this reason (john 5;17-18)(19;7)(Matthew 26;63-65)

  • Praise the devil

  • READ THE 5 PROOFS THAT GOD IS A TRINITY FROM THE TORAH POSTED ON PAGE 3 OF THIS VIDEO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PROOF #1 OF TRINITY IN TORAH

    TORAH

    Psalm 110:1-5

    "The LORD SAID UNTO MY LORD, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool."

    Psalm 110:5 "The Lord at thy right hand shall strike through kings in the day of his wrath."

    CLEARLY KING DAVID IS NOT AT THE THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD BECAUSE THATS'S WHERE THE LORD SITS.

    IT IS BLASPHEMEMY TO CLAIM THAT DAVID IS THE LORD,

    THE BOOK OF DUETERONOMY IN THE TORAH CLEARLY SAYS THE THE LORD IS ONE, AND THE LORD IS HIS NAME !

  • PROOF 3 OF TRINITY

    TORAH

    Malachi 3:1

    "Behold, I am going to SEND MY MESSENGER (Prophet), and he will clear the way before Me. AND THE LORD, whom you seek, will suddenly come to His temple; and the messenger of the COVENANT, in whom you delight, behold, He is coming," says the LORD of hosts."

    Jeremiah 31:31 “The days are coming,” declares the LORD, “when I will make a new COVENANT (OR ANEW) with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah."

    Isaiah 49:6 "a LIGHT to the GENTILES"

  • My head? Were not talking about words, were talking about the application of personal pronouns to the Holy Spirit who is a person. You really need to learn the Greek grammar if you wish to actually sound a little smarter. Jesus could have called him an "it" in the language but he didn't he used a masculine form which is only used to a person. The Holy Spirit talks and commands. He teaches and comforts. Never in ancient Judaism did they consider the Holy Spirit a thing or it. Learn your history.

  • @NHBChristianTalk

    You're clearly taking things out of context!!!!

    Not every verse in the Bible is meant to be taken literally, we have to use some discernment!!!

    Jesus said, the Father gives the Holy Spirit to those that ask Him. Luke.11:13 - the Holy Spirit precedes from GOD our Father, it's not another person!!!

    The Holy Spirit is the power, truth, anointing etc... that comes from GOD!!! In other words, it's the way GOD accomplishes his will, by means of His power(Spirit).

  • @epic103 Oh wow, that is your answer? Not every verse is meant to be taken literally? I don't know what authority you are looking at to help you interpret scripture, oh ya, the Watchtower is telling you what to believe. Not one Greek scholar agrees with your ridiculous view of the Holy Spirit. Your Watchtower view has no basis for anything. Now you want us to believe that the Bible can't be taken literally when it talks about the Holy Spirit. Then God isn't real or literal either.

  • @NHBChristianTalk

    No, that's not what I said!!!

    I said not everything in the Bible is meant to be literal!!!

    Don't be a simpleton!!!
