A Comprehensive Treatise On the Trinity Doctrine: What the Bible and History Reveal

Are you a believer in the Trinity doctrine? Have you believed this all your life, or are you one who has recently subscribed to this teaching? Whether you have held to the Trinity as a true Bible teaching for decades, or recently done so, you may be convinced that there are many Bible verses which prove Jesus is Almighty God. For example, you have been undoubtedly shown John 1:1 which states in most Bible translations the phrase "the Word [Christ] was God." In addition, you were taught that Jesus claimed to be God by his words at John 10:30, where he stated "I and the Father are one," and his statement at John 14:9, "He that has seen me has seen the Father." Likewise, you were directed to the apostle Thomas' words to Jesus at John 20:28: "My Lord and my God." These and other Bible texts have provided what you believe to be irrefutable proof that Jesus is the Most High God Himself. On the other hand, if you have been a diligent Bible reader and student, you may have come across other Bible passages which teach that Jesus is God's Son, who was created and is subordinate and not equal to his Father, such as Colossians 1:15, which calls Jesus "the Firstborn of all creation," and where Jesus remarked "the Father is greater than I am" (John 14:28), as well as his words to his Father: "not my will, but yours be done" (Matthew 26:39); in addition to: "the Son will subject himself to God." (1 Corinthians 15:28). Hence, what you have been taught and what you have personally read have been quite different, even contradictory, regarding the identity of God and the relationship of the Father with his Son Jesus Christ. You may be confused and you may rightly wonder which is true - Is Jesus God, or is he the Son of God? Is the Trinity a Scriptural teaching, or is it not? This treatise will assist you to find the most plausible explanation in your Bible and will reveal to you that there is no contradiction in the verses we have just considered. It will help you to determine, without a doubt, whether the Trinity is what it claims to be - A teaching which is taught in God's inspired Word the Bible, or if it is an unscriptural, pagan philosophy, introduced into Christendom's churches through political maneuvering. You will be guided through a careful analysis of each major Bible verse used to support the Trinity to see for yourself if the doctrine has any genuine support in the Sacred Scriptures. You will also be conducted through a most thorough examination of the context and background information of each scripture under investigation. You will study Greek and Hebrew words to discover their true meaning. You will do your own research on passages such as John 8:58, where Jesus used the expression "ego eimi" ("I am," King James) and Philippians 2:6, with the phrase "he [Jesus] thought it not robbery to be equal to God." (KJ). You will be able to discern the true identity of the One, who in the book of Revelation, is called the Alpha and the Omega. Indeed, you will scrutinize the strongest proofs presented by Trinitarian scholars and theologians to determine if these and other Scriptures are saying what these educated men assert they are saying. Furthermore, an extensive coverage of the origin and historical development of the Trinity doctrine will reveal some surprising facts to you.We are certain that you will find satisfactory answers to your questions regarding God's Son Jesus Christ, his Father, and the holy spirit. In the final analysis, you will clearly discern that the Bible does not contradict itself, but provides vital truths concerning the true identity and nature of the God and His Son Jesus Christ.
