16. It destroys the Love of God
God showed His love by giving up His Son. If He didn’t have a Son to give then it is selfish.
1Jn 4:9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
Me and my son verses me and my friend
17. It affects character growth
Q – What leads men to repentance?
A – “… the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?” Romans 2:4
Q – How did God reveal His goodness or love toward us?
A – By sending His only begotten Son to die for us.
“In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.” 1 John 4:9
The only way that God could save us was by sending His Son to die. There was no other way to demonstrate His love to us in such a way as to win back our sinful hearts.
Seeing this love and goodness of God is what leads us to repentance. When we realize what the Father and Son did we are touched and love awakens love.
Furthermore, the Bible tells us that only by accepting and believing that Jesus is the Son of God can we overcome the world.
“Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son
of God?” 1 John 5:5
Overcoming the world involves a growth and cleansing of our character. We are changed as we behold the love and glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18; 4:6). This begins to occur after repentance. We have seen that true repentance is based on God’s goodness and love that was manifested by Him giving us His only-begotten Son. The fruit of character cleansing is overcoming the world and sin. Overcoming the world is dependent upon believing Jesus Christ to be the Son of God.
18. It destroys the family unit and hence woman’s ordination (role of male and female)
“Imagine a situation in which the Being we have come to know as God the Father came to die for us, and the one we have come to know as Jesus stayed back in heaven…Nothing would have changed except that we would have been calling Each by the name we now use for the Other.” Bible Study Guide, Lesson for April 10, 2008.
Think about it this way. if the three are not really Father and Son, and three could interchange roles then why not those who were created in the Image of God interchange roles as well?
Man and woman, well, woman could be the head of the home and why not the head of the church?
Why not ordain women into ministry?
19. It’s origin is Pagan
"The trinity got its start in Ancient Babylon with Nimrod - Tammuz - and Semiramis. Semiramis demanded worship for both her husband and her son as well as herself. She claimed that her son, was both the father and the son. Yes, he was "god the father" and "god the son" - The first divine incomprehensible trinity." --The Two Babylons ; Alexander Hislop, p.51
20. The signs used to illustrated are pagan
21. It leads God’s people to worship the same god the antichrist worships
1. It contradicts the faith of Jesus
2. Leads to worshiping a different God than the One Jesus worshiped?
3. The trinity is not explained or mentioned in the scriptures
4. The First Person of the Trinity is Jesus' Father but the Third Person of the Trinity Fathered Jesus
5. The One True God is Identified in the Bible as a singular "I", "Me", "He", "Him"
6. It contradicts the plain teaching of Jesus and the apostles:
7. It reduces the work of Christ.
8. It takes away Jesus from us as our Comforter
9. It takes away humanities hope of Glory
10. It destroys Righteousness by faith
11. The trinity strips the believer of eternal life
12. The trinity destroys the atonement.
13. It denies the true and literal sonship of Jesus
14. It destroys Jesus’ equality with the Father
15. It makes God a liar
16. It destroys the Love of God
17. It affects character growth
18. It destroys the family unit
19. It’s origin is Pagan
20. The signs used to illustrated are pagan
21. It leads God’s people to worship the same god the antichrist worships
Why is it that in heaven John saw only two beings (Father and son)
Why is it that the council was between only two beings
Why is that that when God created the human race in His Image, He created only two, not three?
The children are the work of the parents not God. Plus the bible says that the children of Adam were born in the image of Adam (Genesis 5:3)
If they are three co-equal then why not worship the Holy spirit as a separate person other than the Father and the Son?
Why Does God tell us in Revelation 13 that the Antichrist worships the Dragon or Satan if He wants His people to worship the same God?
I will leave you with a 65 year old Challenge that has been put forth to protestants.
“Our opponents sometimes claim that no belief should be held dogmatically which is not explicitly stated in scripture . . . . But the Protestant Churches have themselves accepted such dogmas, as the Trinity, for which there no such precise authority in the Gospels,” “Assumption of Mary,” Life magazine, October 30, 1950, p. 51.
