Christians Must Heed

                   ● In order to be regarded as a "Christian," a person has
               to close his eyes to the truth shown him by his conscience,
               mind and experience and adopt the idea of the three-in-one de-
               ity, defined as the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, as imposed by
               the Church.
                   ● The shape of the belief was formulated in this form by
               the Church and a Christian is obliged to believe in it in that
               form.
                   ● That is what is meant by religious dogma, or religious im-
               position, to put it another way.
                   ● That is the sole reason why a great many Christians are so de-
               voted to the idea of the Trinity. Since the Church and the Papacy were
               shaped according to the structure of the Roman Empire, the Church
               was also the source of the idea of the Trinity. That is why regarding the
               Gospel has having been altered or rejecting the Trinity is regarded as
               "abandoning the faith."

                   ● Yet all these pretexts for "excommunication" emerged
               hundreds of years after Jesus and were invented by the
               Church. Many of our Christian brothers are totally unaware
               of all this.
                   As is clear from above, the Papacy and the Church obvious-
               ly possessed greater authority than a holy book. And that is the
               case still, despite the Reformation, meaning a return to the holy
               book, and the Protestant movement.


                    The belief in the Trinity that was

               subsequently added to Christianity in
                        a number of stages


                   ● "The Trinity" appears in no sacred text.
               It appears nowhere, either as a name or a
