The Trinity- Is Jesus Christ God?

Throughout the history of Christendom the Trinity has laid as its "central doctrine of faith" according to churches teachings. But is this teaching from God and the bible? Or is it just a invention from the early church fathers of Christendom? Let us explore the facts. The teaching of the Trinity is that the Father is God the Son is God and the Holy spirit is God, yet they are not three Gods but one God. One Trinitarian once tryed explaining it to me this way, he said; "Just like you are a brother, a son and a friend yet you are still one person, so is the Father the Son and the Holy spirit, only one person". But is that in harmony with the bible? The God of the bible is strictly monothestic, meaning that worshipers in the bible believed in one God. In fact one of the Laws that was given to Israel was that "Listen O Israel: Jehovah our God, is one Jehovah"-Deu 6:4. Notice that this was a Law, so thus God put lots of attention toward him being one God and "one Jehovah". Why? Because in that time when that Law was given to Moses to pass down to Israel the Hebrews, or the Jews, had just came out of the land of Egypt. And the hebrews had lived in that land for many years and were influenced by alot of the things their, one of them being religion. What type of gods did they worship in Egypt? They worshiped Triad gods which where three gods in one, Osiris which was the father of many gods, Horus the son, and Isis the godess. Hmmm sounds alot like todays modern Trinity doesnt it? This is one of the reasons why God stressed the fact that he was "one Jehovah"! And not to mention that even before the Egyptian triad gods Babylon had its own concept of triad gods, Ishtar, Sin, and Shamash. And even after the Egyptians the Hindu's also worshiped a Trinity, and countless more pagan religions. As we see Christendom adopted many of these beliefs and customs to suit the pagans that they were trying to convert in the 4th century. But lets look into the scriptures to guide us to the real answers of Gods nature and in his Sons role. "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ"-1 Peter 1:3. The 1st century Christians believed that the Father of Jesus Christ, Jehovah, was God. They certainly did not believe that Jesus himself was God or was even equal with God. Here we see that Peter wrote that Jesus has a "God and Father". But if they were a Trinity then shouldnt that verse read like "Blessed be the Father of our Lord and God Jesus Christ"? Because here Peter is calling the Father God and not Jesus. Paul wrote to the congregation in Corinth that, "The head of Christ is God"- 1 Corithians 11:3. So we see here that Jesus is lesser then his God. In fact Jesus said when he was ressurected that he was going to "my Father and your Father and to Your God and MY God"-John 20:17. So even after Jesus was ressurected he was in a lesser position then the Father. Philipians 2:9 says "For this very reason also God exalted him(Jesus Christ) to a superior position". Can Jesus Christ possibly be God the Almighty and yet have some one exalt him and give him a "superior position"? Imagine if someone had to give God the Almighty a "superior position"! The bible also says in Acts 2:36 "that God made him both Lord and the Christ". So we see that once again we have God giving authority and power to Jesus Christ. Dont you think that if Jesus was in fact God we would have already had that authority and power? Lets look into what the scriptures say in Acts 3:13 "The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob, the God of our forefathers, has glorified his servant, Jesus". Two things I wanna point out about this verse. One is that the apostle Paul certainly believed that Jesus couldnt possibly be The God of Abraham and of Isaac and of Jacob for here Jesus isnt referred to him. In fact Jesus is referred to as Gods "servant". Now I would like to share with you what the word of God says in John 13:16 where Jesus himself says "Most truly I say to you, A slave is not greater then his master", lets pause here real quick. Isnt Jesus called a servant or slave of God in Acts 3:13? Jesus openly says that a slave is not greater then his master just like Jesus well knew that he wasnt greater then his heavenly Father Jehovah. Lets continue reading the rest of John 13:16 "nor is one that is sent forth greater than the one that sent him". But wait just another minute! Wasnt Jesus sent by God to the earth? The bible says in John 17:18 "Just as you sent me forth into the world, I also sent them forth into the world". And didnt Jesus himself just say that someone who is sent forth is not greater then the one who sent them? Jesus certainly didnt think he was God or was even in the same position as Jehovah God. Jesus also said that "the Father is greater than I am" in John 14:28. But what Trinitarians will do with this verse is say, "But this was Jesus in the flesh and he had lowered himself, therefore he could say that the Father is greater then he is because at the time the Father was greater." Well then we have a problem right there. Because according to the doctrine of the Trinity Jesus was both 100% man and also 100% GOD! How could Christ be 100% God and yet be lower then his counter part Gods? And remember there is no mention in the holy spirit in these texts. But if Jesus was 100% God in the flesh then there would have been no "lowering" done correct? Jesus clearly taught that the Father alone is God, he said in prayer to his Father in John 17:3 "This means everlasting life there taking in knowledge of you, the only True God, and the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ". He called his Father the "only True God" and he said that he was the one "sent forth". Once again if Jesus was God then wouldnt he have called himself "the only True God"? And again if he was God why would he be praying to himself? To mislead people? Certainly not! 1 Timothy 2:5 says "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus". So the early Christians believed that there is one God, and one mediator that is between God and man, that is Jesus Christ. We see that Jesus once again is not even referred to as God. Here we see that he cant possibly be God for he is the mediator between God and men! Jesus never claimed to be God or even be equal to God. In fact in John 5:18 the Jews accused Jesus of that very thing, they said "but he was calling God his own Father, making himself equal to God". What did Jesus say in response to them? Jesus said in that same chapter in verse 19 "Most truly I say to you, The Son cannot do a single thing of his own initiative, but only what he beholds the Father doing." So right here Jesus is saying he cannot not do a single thing on his own and can only do what he see the Father doing. So in a manner Jesus mimicks his heavenly Father just like any normal child would today, that is why Jesus could say to his followers that "he who has seen me has seen the Father". A interesting event that happened when Jesus was trying to convince the Jews that he was the son of God was recorded in John 12:28 where Jesus says "Father glorify your name.' Therefore a voice came out of heaven: "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again." So we see that God from heaven spoke and the Jews heard it! They didnt hear Jesus voice, they heard Gods voice. Now if Jesus was indeed God wouldnt have Jesus been trying to convince the Jews that he was God instead of proving that his Father is God? And wouldnt he have "glorified" his own name if he was God? And again think about the fact that it wasnt Jesus that spoke, but God. Therefore we see that Jesus and God are two distinct people. But arent they supposed to be the same God, apart of the same trinitarian God-head? Another contradiction of the teaching of the Trinity is that it is believed that Jesus, Jehovah and the holy spirit are all without a beginning. Well then why does Colossians 1:15 say "He(Jesus Christ) is the image of the invisible God, the First-born of all creation"? Revelation 3:14 calls Jesus "the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God". It is evident that Jesus is the first-born creation and child of Jehovah God. Imagine when Jehovah God was all alone, he was very lonely and then created his first-born son Jesus Christ, how happy Jehovah must have been to be along side his Son Jesus at last! We know by the Scriptures that Jesus and Jehovah share a special bond and relationship, in fact through Jesus Jehovah created all the things in heaven and on earth and Jehovah created all things for Jesus.(Col 1:15,16) The book of Proverbs even speaks of Jesus as Jehovahs "master worker" and Proverbs 8:22,23 says "Jehovah produced me(Jesus) as the beginning of his way, the earliest of his achievements of long ago. From time indefinite I was installed, from the start, from the times earlier than the earth". And then verses 30 and 31 show you the intimate relationship that Jesus shared with his heavenly Father Jehovah. "Then I came to be as a master worker, and I came to be the one he was specially fond of day by day, I being glad before him all the time, 31 being glad at the productive land of his earth, and the things I was fond of was the sons of men." How beautiful was the relationship between Jehovah God and his loyal Son Jesus Christ! This is all in complete and full harmony with the scriptures like when God was creating humans on the earth he said "Let US make man in OUR image", In the image of both Jehovah and Jesus.(Gen 1:26) The bible does not teach the Trinity, it is not from the word of God and thus must be shunned! Those who serve a Trinity are not serving the one True God, for as the scriptures say that there is one true God(John 17:3) and he is Jehovah, and Jehovah our God the only True and everlasting God, is indeed "one Jehovah"!(Deu 6:4) So reject the Trinity for it is nothing but the teachings and traditions of men, for traditions of men are invalid in the eyes of God.(Mark 7:13) Serve the one True God Jehovah and put faith and hope in Jehovah and his now reigning King Jesus Christ and you may be one who will "posses the earth"(Psalms 37:9,11,29,34)
