Page 114 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference

Is God the Father a person? John 4:24 gives the answer. “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”
“Is Jesus God Incarnated in the Flesh?”
The great revivalist of the late 1800’s, Charles Grandison Finney, 1792-1875, made these statements regarding the Divine Sovereignty of God making any kind of decisions. As one will see, he does not depict any triune godhead. (Finney’s Systematic Theology, by Charles G. Finney, edited by J.H. Fairchild, Bethany House Publishers, 1976, pp.416 & 417). On page 416 starting with chapter 39. (I) “Any view of divine sovereignty that implies arbitrariness on the part of the divine will, is not only contrary to scripture, but is revolting to reason, and blasphemous.”
On page 417 (chapter 39) II, “God consults no one in respect to what shall be done by him. He asks no leave to do and require what his own wisdom dictates. He consults only himself; that is, his own infinite intelligence. So far is he from being arbitrary in his sovereignty, in the sense of unreasonable, that he is invariably guided by infinite reason. He consults his own intelligence only, not from any arbitrary disposition, but because his knowledge is perfect and infinite, and therefore it is safe and wise to take counsel nowhere else. God is sovereign, no in the sense that he is not under the law, or that he is above the law, but in the sense that his is a law to himself; that he knows no law but what is given him by his own reason.”
The word arbitrary is defined as depending on choice or discretion; specific; determinable by decision of a judge or tribunal. Charles Finney understood that there was no tribunal in Heaven that God had to make equal decisions with. Tri-meaning three, having three elements or parts, or into three (trisect).
Nowhere in scripture does it ever appear that there are three Gods or deity. The Hebrew writings as well as the apostles taught only one true God. There have been different changes during the course of history where scriptures have been added (extra-biblical) or changed to appear as if there are three deities.
One example is I John 5:7, “For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.” This scripture additive was not in the Vulgate, of 386 A.D., as one would look and find out. It appeared in the Vulgate around 800 A.D., and in 1582 A.D. the Rheims-Douai. The scripture became a fabricated part of Sthaccius and Priscillianas of 385 A.D. (F.F. Bruce, History of The Bible in English, p.141) translated by Jerome into the scriptures, (he added to) around 382 A.D. to 386 A.D. The Latin Vulgate by Jerome appeared around 405 A.D. (Old Testament and New Testament). Erasmus received credit for the inserting of I John 5:7-8.
If one does not understand this passage of scripture then look at verses 5 and 6 of I John. 5.) “Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6.) This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only,
