Page 74 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference
P. 74
“And to you who are troubled rest with us, when the Lord [God] Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels, In flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that obey not the [Acts 2:38] gospel of our Lord [God] Jesus Christ: Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, [God] and from the glory of his power;”-2 Thess. 1:7-9. Hebrew 1:3 and Acts 7:56 makes perfect since when we understand that they are talking about Jesus’ power, glory and great authority.
Forcing or reading the Trinity into the Scriptures the “Allegorical Method.”
Trinitarians often will use erroneous typology and try and make many different Scriptures teach or fit a Trinity doctrine that have absolutely nothing to do with the subject of the Godhead. This is like trying to force a round puzzle piece into a square puzzle hole and saying “see it fits don’t you see this is were it goes.” Grasping at straws the Trinitarian will often see an illusion of the Trinity in many texts. Often the text is taken out of context and distorted to fit and support a preconceived biased agenda driven triadic mirage. Under closer examination, the triadic mirage vanishes and the truth wins out over a doctrine that exists only in the minds of the deceived. Many today use the Gnostic Allegorical Method of interpreting the Scriptures or spiritualizing a text. An erroneous meaning or symbolism will be given to a text of Scripture. In this way, a text’s actual literal meaning is changed to fit with a false spiritualistic metaphysical even Platonic or Hellenistic interpretation. In this way a symbolic meaning can be given to any verse of Scripture and one can make the Bible teach or say whatever they want it to.
This is the same type of mentality that tries to overlook the entire Book of Acts (Acts 2:38) and make Romans 10:9 the plan of salvation. The letter to the Romans was actually written to already saved or converted believers that had already obeyed the same (Acts 2:38) plan of salvation that the early Church did in the Book of Acts. The Book of Acts gives the plan of salvation and the history of the early Church. The letters to the Churches give written instructions to the already established Churches on how to stay saved. Many get the cart before the horse theologically speaking. Likewise, Trinitarians will zoom in on only a hand full of texts that seam to support their theory but completely ignore hundreds of One-God or Jesus Name texts. Or reinterpret texts to fit their ideals.
Origen was the inventor of this contradictory illogical Allegorical Method of interpreting or perverting the Scriptures. He used syncretism the mixing of both Pagan and Gnostic philosophies mixed together with the Scriptures to come up with Arian Trinitarian and other strange doctrines. Let us examine some of the strange teachings of this Gnostic that castrated himself. (See 1 Cor. 3:16-19). Arian and Trinitarians use his flawed arguments!
The accusation most often brought against Origen is that he allegorized the whole Bible and thus made it mean whatever he wanted it to. He taught that created souls existed eternally and can reincarnate, that a second fall and a second incarnation are possible, that the Devil would in the end be saved, that Jesus was really the angel of the Lord or Michael, no eternal burning Hell and that the resurrected body would be spherical. Origen also came up with these Allegorical Trinitarian arguments “Elohim = three gods,”
