ARE THE SOVEREIGN LORD AND THE LAMB PART OF A TRINITY?–REVELATION 6-7

July 24, 2022 BibleAuthenticity Comments 27 comments

Revelation and the gospel of John are two of the most devastating books in the Bible to the false doctrine of the Trinity. Notice who allegorical Christians who have been executed for their faith are said to pray to:

“How long, Sovereign Lord . . . “—Revelation 6:10 NIV

They pray to “the Sovereign Lord,” not to “the Lamb,” Jesus Christ, nor to the Holy Spirit.

“Fall over us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of their wrath has come”—Revelation 6:16,17 NIV read more

IS THE TRINITY DOCTRINE TAUGHT IN JUDE?

October 4, 2021 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The book of Jude was written by Jesus’ half brother Jude some three decades after the start of Christianity. At this stage, we would expects to find some mention of the doctrine of the Trinity, if it is true. But, just like the rest of the scriptures, there is no mention of a Trinity in Jude.

Jude 1—“To those who have been called, who are loved in God the Father and kept for Christ Jesus” (NIV). “God the Father” is obviously a completely separate and distinct person from “Christ Jesus”. If the Trinity doctrine were true, we would expect there to be some mention of it, or the holy Spirit (which is real), at this point, but there isn’t.

Jude 3 – “Fight hard for the faith, which has been once and for all entrusted to God’s holy people” (Jude 3 NJB). read more

DID JESUS CHRIST DIE IN HIS “DEITY”/”DIVINITY”?

July 16, 2021 BibleAuthenticity Comments 9 comments

“Surely you, Yahweh, are from ancient times, my holy God, who never dies”—Habakkuk 1:12 NJB

“My God, my Holy One, you will never die”—Habakkuk 1:12 NIV

“Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God”—1 Timothy 1:17 NIV

Since it is obvious from the scriptures that Almighty God, Yahweh, cannot die, the Trinitarian claim that Jesus Christ is Almighty God runs into a huge problem. To overcome this problem, Trinitarians claim that Jesus “died in his humanity, but not in his “Deity”, or “Divinity”. Do the scriptures support such an idea? Are there any scriptures that say anything about such an idea? Actually, no, there are none. In fact, the scriptures contradict such erroneous ideas. read more

IS JESUS CHRIST THE “I AM” OF EXODUS 3:14 AND JOHN 8:58?

April 18, 2021 BibleAuthenticity Comments 8 comments

Revised August 2, 2022.

“God replied to Moses: I am who I am. Then he added: This is what you are to tell the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you”—Exodus 3:14 NAB

“Truly I say to you, before Abraham was born, I am”—John 8:58 NASB. Many translations of John 8:58 capitalize “I Am” so as to convey the idea of a title. “The ‘I am’ denotes absolute eternal existence, not simply existence prior to Abraham. It is a claim to be Yahweh of the OT” (Ryrie Study Bible note on John 8:58).` read more

WAS JESUS GOD, OR GOD’S SON, IN COURT?

April 9, 2021 BibleAuthenticity Comments 2 comments

Like Jesus’ enemies, Trinitarians often assert that Jesus was “claiming to be God” (John 10:33 REB). However, Jesus flatly refuted that false charge by saying, “I am God’s Son” (John 10:36). Like Jesus’ enemies, once again, Trinitarians also falsely assert that Jesus “was claiming equality with God” (John 5:18 REB). Jesus flatly refuted that false charge also, by saying: “In all truth I tell you, by himself the Son can do nothing; he can do only what he sees the Father doing” (John 5:19 NJB).

When, finally, Jesus was brought before the Jewish Supreme Court, the Sanhedrin, what was the real issue that they were concerned about?

“The high priest said to him, ‘I order you to tell us under oath before the living God whether you are the Messiah, the Son of God'” (Matthew 26:63 NAB).

This was the real issue, whether Jesus claimed to be “the Messiah, the Son of God.” They obviously knew he never ‘claimed to be God’. Notice Jesus’ response:

“The words are yours. But I tell you this: ‘from now on you will see the Son of man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming on the clouds of heaven'” (Matthew 26:64 REB). read more

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION FOR TRINITARIANS

April 9, 2021 BibleAuthenticity Comments 3 comments

“For us there is only one God, the Father” (1 Corinthians 8:6 NJB)

If the Trinity doctrine is truly Biblical, as Trinitarians claim, then they should not have any problems with answering simple questions about their doctrine, without any resorting to evasion, or denial. Here is the question:
Are both of the following statements true?—YES, or NO

A. For Christians, there is one God, the Triune God.
B. For Christians, there is one God, the Father.

1. If YES, then please explain how the the “one God” of Christians is both a three person being and a one person being.
2. If NO, then please identify which of the two above statements is true.

Does 1 John 5:13 Prove “Once Saved, Always Saved”?

May 29, 2020 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

“These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13 NASB)

It is asserted by the proponents of the “Once Saved, Always Saved” doctrine that 1 John 5:13, among other scriptures, proves this belief to be Scriptural. One of the main fallacies of reasoning is “over-simplification.” While every scripture in the “inspired” word of God, from Genesis through Revelation, is true (2 Timothy 3:16; John 17:17), the scriptures must be “accurately” handled (2 Timothy 2:15 NASB). As is very typical of all false doctrines, 1 John 5:13 is taken out of context, and used in a way that John never intended, to prove the “Once Saved, Always Saved” doctrine. read more

WHO SHOULD WE WORSHIP?

April 21, 2020 BibleAuthenticity Comments 31 comments

“The true worshippers will worship the Father”—John 4:23

Jesus very clearly and unmistakably said that we should “worship the Father”. Trinitarians often claim “we should worship the Trinity” as their Athanasian Creed says. Most often they talk about worshipping Jesus, and sometimes they even claim to worship the Holy Spirit. But the Bible is crystal clear on this subject. This is not a gray area. There are no accurately translated scriptures that either direct us to, or have anyone worshipping Jesus, as you often hear. Jesus said in prayer that his “Father” is “the only true God” (John 17:1,3). read more

DOES REVELATION TEACH THE TRINITY?

March 12, 2020 BibleAuthenticity Comments 5 comments

Revised 5-30-2020

The very first verse of the Book of Revelation gives us a clue as to the answer:

“The revelation from Jesus Christ, WHICH GOD GAVE HIM to show his servants what must soon take place” (Revelation 1:1 NIV).

If Jesus was Almighty God, as Trinitarians claim, he would not have to be given the Revelation by God–he would already have it and know it!

“And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first born from the dead . . . and has freed us from our sins by his blood” (Revelation 1:5 NIV). read more

Is It True That Jesus Did Not Really Die On the Cross, As Critics Claim?

March 7, 2020 BibleAuthenticity Comments 10 comments

“But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water” (John 19:33,34 NIV).

Some skeptics claim that Jesus somehow survived his crucifixion, and was unknowingly placed alive in the tomb, where he revived, and early on Sunday morning escaped from the tomb alive. This is quite a far-fetched story, but nevertheless, many people believe it. However, when we carefully consider all the known and pertinent facts, such a theory flies in the face of all the evidence. read more
