Page 105 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference
P. 105
therefore this day, and consider it in thine heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, that God doth talk with man, and he liveth.” Look at Deuteronomy 32:39, “ See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.”
Notice that God makes the statement that “there is no god with me:” There were not two other deities with God in the beginning. Many scholars and theologians admit that the teachings of the triune are not part of the Old Testament. While they admit this, they turn right around and try to say through their philosophy that it was revealed later on in the New Testament after Christ taught this concept to his disciples or apostles. This is false teachings brought in by the Post-Apostolic Fathers who themselves were not even following the teachings of Christ or his apostles.
Shall we look at for instance, one of their beliefs. This paragraph is found in The Comprehensive Analysis of the Bible by Montgomery F Essig, copy-write, 1922-1951, The Southwestern Company, p. 210, see under God. It states as follows:
“God is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost, three persons and one god, equal in power and co-eternal. This doctrine is not taught in the old testament for the reason that God the Son and God the Holy Ghost had not yet been revealed to man, the latter especially not being fully revealed until after the death, resurrection, and ascension of God the Son. The New Testament, although not named as the doctrine of the trinity, the doctrine is clearly and lucidly set forth in the gospels and in the teachings of the personal representatives of Jesus, the apostles.”
We know that the Scriptures of the New Testament do not abide with the latter statement of this paragraph. Acts 2:16-36, 16.) “But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; 17.) And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: 18.) And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy: 19.) And I will show wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke: 20.) The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come: 21.) And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. 22.) Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know: 23.) Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: 24.) Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be held of it. 25.) For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved:” Note here that David records that the Lord is on my right hand. How could this be possible because of Hebrews 12:2, “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Is the name of God David? NO!
