Is the Bible reliable? — Where is the Trinity?

In the 27 books of the New Testament (NT), the core doctrine is said to be the Trinity, according to most Protestant, Catholic, and non-denominational churches. If that is true, then the doctrine should be prolific, and abundantly clear. Where is the Trinity in the Bible, particularly the New Testament?

Mark 12:29 – “Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! Yahweh OUR GOD IS ONE Yahweh”‘” (LSB margin). Jesus quoted Deuteronomy 6:4 in reference to the greatest commandment of all. But, according to this, Yahweh God is only one Yahweh. How can this be? read more

Is the Trinity in John? Is Jesus Christ Almighty God?

Is the Trinity doctrine in the book of John? Is Jesus Christ Almighty God? The gospel of John opens with the words:

“The Word was God”—John 1:1

The Bible itself is completely reliable and trustworthy (2 Timothy 3:16,17). It “actually is, the word of God” (1 Thessalonians 2:13 NIV). However, there are some “false doctrines” (1 Timothy 1:3,4 NIV) taught by many religions, churches, and preachers as though they were “the truth” (John 17:17). The Trinity doctrine is commonly preached and believed, but it is controversial. The gospel of John is the Bible book most often used in support of the Trinity doctrine. We need to know whether the Trinity doctrine is in the book of John, or whether it is what these Bible scholars say it is: read more

Is the Son of God, Jesus Christ, Almighty God?

October 11, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The Trinity doctrine says, “the Son is Almighty”. Shown below are some scriptures that are used to prove Jesus Christ is Almighty God. Let’s carefully examine these in the light of the scriptures.

Isaiah 9:6 – “Mighty God”. Notice that the scripture doesn’t call him “Almighty God”. It calls him “Mighty God”. Jesus is powerful, but not all-powerful. Almighty God told Moses, “See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh” (Exodus 7:1 NKJV). The verse also predicts: “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given”. “Child” and “son”cannot apply to Almighty God because “God is spirit” (John 4:24), and “God is not human” (Numbers 23:19 NIV). read more

Human Lifespan Limit Confirmed by Science Verifies Bible Truth

October 6, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The Bible’s veracity or truth about the human lifespan is confirmed again by modern science in an article published on BBC, entitled: “Limit to human life may be 115 (ish).”

While we certainly don’t want to be dogmatic, since Genesis 6:3 could mean God was saying that he would flood the earth in 120 years from that point in time, the Bible and science and history combine to point out this recently discovered truth.

A look at the lifetimes of people in Genesis 5 tells us people were commonly living 700,800 and 900+ years prior to the flood (yes, these were literal solar years, like ours today). The demarcation point is the global flood, where God sets a new age limit, saying: read more

Charred Manuscript is one of Oldest Known Copies of Torah

September 22, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

The Bible has not been changed. Through many hundreds of years of hand-copying worn-out scrolls, the Bible did not change. The En-Gedi scroll, discovered in 1970, and featured in the article above, is just one of many proofs of this fact.

“For, ‘all people are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord endures forever.’ And this is the word that was preached to you.”—1 Peter 1:24,25 NIV read more

Does 1 John Teach the Trinity Doctrine?

August 10, 2016 BibleAuthenticity Comments 0 Comment

False Doctrines — “Do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. ” (1 John 4:1

The letter of 1 John was one of the last books of the New Testament to be written, near the end of the first century. Trinitarians say that the New Testament teaches the Trinity doctrine with absolute definiteness. If these assertions are true, we should surely find some evidence of such at this late date in the first century, because “the faith . . . was once for all handed down to the holy ones” (Jude 3 NAB) with the completion of the Bible. So let’s see exactly what we do find when we examine the question, “Does 1 John teach the Trinity doctrine?” read more

In our series about what is stated concerning God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit, is there any evidence of the Trinity doctrine in the various books of the New Testament? This article examines whether the Trinity is in Romans.

“Romans is theologically the most important of all the epistles written by Paul, and it contains his most comprehensive and logical presentation of the gospel . . . this foundational New Testament book”—Nelson’s Complete Book of Bible Maps and Charts, page 380 read more

God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit – Is the Trinity in Matthew?

Is the Trinity in Matthew?

“The Gospel according to Matthew . . . no other was so frequently quoted in the noncanonical literature of earliest Christianity”—Preface to Matthew in the New American Bible (NAB). Since Matthew was so prominently in the ancient world, we should surely find some evidence of the Trinity doctrine somewhere in the book if it’s there.

“A true and accurate knowledge of the Trinity is a blessing in and of itself . . . the Trinity is the highest revelation God has made of himself to His people. It is the capstone, the summit, the brightest star in the firmament of divine truths”—The Forgotten Trinity, page 10. This reference by prominent a modern-day indicates that the Trinity doctrine is the thing that God has revealed most prominently. If so, we should surely find it in Matthew. read more
