The Gospels Do Not Support the Trinity Doctrine
- Jesus Would Only to Be CALLED the Son of God:
And the angel said to her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35)
- Solomon Was Also a Son of God:
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 chasten him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men; but I will not take my steadfast love from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away from before you. (2 Samuel 7:12-15)
I put “when he commits iniquity” in bold to prove that this verse is not a “prophecy” of the Messiah (P), because both Muslims and Christians agree that Jesus (P) never committed iniquity. This passage refers to Solomon (P) and that’s that.
- Adam (P) Was Also a Son of God:
The son of Enos, the son of Seth, the son of Adam, the son of God. (Luke 3:38)
- All the People of Israel Were Sons and Daughters of God:
“With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead them back, I will make them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in which they shall not stumble; for I am a father to Israel, and E’phraim is my first-born.” (Jeremiah 31:9)
- The Term “Son of God” Means “Servant of God” in the Old Testament, And Can Refer to the Jews in General:
“And you shall say to Pharaoh, ‘Thus says the LORD, Israel is my first-born son, and I say to you, Let my son go that he may serve me; if you refuse to let him go, behold, I will slay your first-born son.’” (Exodus 4:22-23)
- Jesus Referred to God as Our Father Too:
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16)
"Beware of practicing your piety before men in order to be seen by them; for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 6:1)
“For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father also will forgive you; but if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses....When you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by men but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” (Matthew 6:14-18)
“If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!” (Matthew 7:11)
“For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.” (Matthew 10:20)
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground without your Father’s will.” (Matthew 10:29)
“And call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in heaven.” (Matthew 23:9)
“Be merciful, even as your Father is merciful.” (Luke 6:36)
“For all the nations of the world seek these things; and your Father knows that you need them.” (Luke 12:30)
“I Speak of what I have seen with my Father, and you do what you have heard from your father." (John 8:38)
- Jesus (P) Defines What He Means By Being “One” with the Father:
"I do not pray for these only, but also for those who believe in me through their word, that they may all be one; even as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. The glory which thou hast given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and thou in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that thou hast sent me and hast loved them even as thou hast loved me.” (John 17:20-23)
- Jesus (P) Explained the Real Reason Why the Pharisees Wanted to Stone Him:
“I know that you are descendants of Abraham; yet you seek to kill me, because my word finds no place in you.” (John 8:37)
- Jesus (P) Refutes the Scribes’ Claim That Only God Can Forgive Sins
Now some of the scribes were sitting there, questioning in their hearts, “Why does this man speak thus? It is blasphemy! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” And immediately Jesus, perceiving in his spirit that they thus questioned within themselves, said to them, “Why do you question thus in your hearts? Which is easier, to say to the paralytic, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Rise, take up your pallet and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” (Mark 2:6-10)
- This Interpretation Fits What the Text Says Elsewhere:
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. (Matthew 6:12)
- Jesus (P) Denied Being God:
And as he was setting out on his journey, a man ran up and knelt before him, and asked him, "Good Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone." (Mark 10:17-18)
- Jesus (P) Prayed to God:
And in the morning, a great while before day, he rose and went out to a lonely place, and there he prayed. (Mark 1:35)
- Jesus (P) Accused God of Forsaking Him:
And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, la'ma sabach-tha'ni?" that is, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" (Matthew 27:46)
- Jesus (P) Called God HIS GOD:
Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." (John 20:17)
I know it’s hard to give up the beliefs you were brought up with, but there is simply no way out of the fact that the doctrine of the Incarnation, and as a result, the doctrine of the Trinity, are false and made up. Both doctrines go completely against the whole grain of the Gospels. They were concoctions of St. Paul and the third century theologians. There is no Trinity.
