The Trinity is 'NOT' taught in the Bible!

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]

Description: The doctrine of the Trinity was developed in the centuries after the New Testament, and imposed by the churches. Jesus cannot be independent; is of lower rank; does not bear witness of himself; is representing God; is in need of perfecting; had a beginning and an end of his life. He is the Son of God, but neither equal nor always existing. His immortality came from God. # Summary This PRESENTATION argues that the doctrine of the Trinity is not explicitly taught in the Bible, despite its widespread acceptance among Christians. The speaker, Levi Gilfillian, examines various biblical passages to support the claim that Jesus and God hold different statuses, suggesting a hierarchy rather than co-equality. He also explores the origins of the Trinity doctrine, tracing its development through historical councils and theological debates, ultimately concluding that the belief in the Trinity is a human invention rather than a biblical teaching. # Highlights - 📖 **The Trinity is Not in the Bible**: The speaker asserts that the concept of the Trinity, which posits that God is one person in three forms (Father, Son, Holy Spirit), is not found in biblical texts. - ✝️ **Jesus' Relationship with God**: The presentation highlights verses such as John 14:28, where Jesus states, "My Father is greater than I," indicating a hierarchy between Jesus and God rather than equality. - 🔍 **Understanding the Holy Spirit**: The Holy Spirit is described as a power or force rather than a distinct person, with references to its role in scripture as a gift that can be shared. - 📜 **Historical Development of the Trinity**: The speaker discusses how the doctrine of the Trinity was formalised in the early church, particularly during the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD, led by Emperor Constantine, rather than being rooted in biblical teachings. - ⚖️ **Authority and Heresy**: The presentation explains how dissenting views on the Trinity were suppressed, with heretics being persecuted, illustrating the power dynamics within early Christianity. - 🌌 **The Path to Salvation**: The speaker encourages listeners to seek biblical truth and highlights the importance of knowing God and Jesus for eternal life, contrasting the narrow path of truth with the broad path leading to destruction. # Keywords #Trinity #Christianity #BiblicalDoctrine [embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fzpDgYrESFU[/embedyt] [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css="" css_animation="none"]*************************************************************************************** This video was produced by the ChristadelphianVideo.org project, arranged and supported by Christadelphians worldwide.
