Bible Truths are beautiful and should be presented in a Christ-like manner.

THE INCONSISTENCY OF TRINITARIANISM - Back To Contents

Trinitarianism is inconsistent in the light of the following scriptures: Isaiah 44:6, "Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his Redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." Revelation 1:8, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." Revelation 1:11, "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last…" Common reasoning renders the verdict: there can be but one almighty. The scriptural usage of the mathematical one is clearly indicative of the inconsistency of Trinitarianism.

Mark 12:29, "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord." Galatians 3:20, "Now a mediator is not a mediator of one, but God is one." I Corinthians 8:4, "As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing In the world, and that there is none other God but one." I Timothy 2:5, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus." James 2:19, "Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. If God is one, He cannot be three. It is a mathematical absurdity to say that One God is three Gods. I John 5:7, "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one." John is not saying that one plus one plus one equals three, but rather the mathematical one is raised to the third power (13), i.e., one multiplied by itself three times (1 x 1 x 1 = 1) is still one.

Trinitarianism is inconsistent in its logic. Coequality of two or more divine, almighty persons is illogical. The doctrine of the Father and the Son being coeternal is illogical inasmuch as it requires the Son to be as old as the Father and the offspring to be the same age as the original.

Trinitarianism is illogical in that its hypothesis creates the paradox of having divine person number one (the Father) and divine person number three (the Holy Ghost) both the father of divine person number two (Jesus). Matt 1:18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Trinitarianism is inconsistent with the word of God inasmuch as it crates an atmosphere in which its exponents are forced to baptize using a formula which was never used in the Bible. Trinitarian theology denies it proponents the liberty of baptizing, or being baptized, in the name of Jesus, which makes Trinitarian theology in direct conflict with the following scriptures: Acts 2:38, "…and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ…" Acts 8:16, "…only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." Acts 10:47-48, "… (v.48) And he commanded them to be baptized in the name of the Lord…" Acts 19:5, "…they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus." I Corinthians 1:13, "Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? Or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?
