Page 79 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference
P. 79
this verse because they found something in the OT that mentions the Son, which they do not find anywhere else (to their embarrassment), so they ignore the context to champion their Trinitarian theory when in all reality this passage has nothing to do with God's identity. Some Trinitarians, such as the translators of the NET Bible, are honest enough to say that this passage may only "hint ... of the nature of the Messiah as Son, a hint that will be revealed in full through the incarnation”. The NET Bible, First Beta edition, Biblical Studies Press, L.L.C., study note 23, p. 1144. Notice the future tense of their words. Those translators did not see this verse as a confirmation of a Trinity in the OT. We can be assured that Proverbs 30:4 does not teach an eternal Son in the Godhead.”
Is the Didache proof of the Trinity? Is it “The Teaching of the Apostles?”
At left we have an image of the Didache also erroneously called the “teachings of the Twelve Apostles” or the “two ways”. Bryennius at Constantinople discovered the so-called “Teaching of the Twelve Apostles”, a Manuscript thus entitled in a volume containing an un-mutilated Manuscript text of the Didache ascribed to Clement, and published it at the close of 1883, no other copy being known to exist in Manuscript or print.
Eusebius Ecclesiastical History 3.25.1- 7 Even, the great Catholic Church historian Eusebius confesses to the fact that the Catholic Church wrote many spurious false Scriptures. “Among the spurious books must be reckoned also the Acts of Paul, and the Shepherd, [of Hermas] as it is called, and the Apocalypse of Peter; and in addition to these, the extant Epistle of Barnabus, and the Teaching of Apostles [or the
Didache]...” The Didache is the early Catholic Church Manual that teaches Trinitarian Baptism according to Eusebius. It is a complete fraud.
The Catholic Didache is like the writings of the Apocrypha or the Talmud none of which are inspired Holy Scripture. According to the New Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. IV, Whalen, NY, 1967, page 859, some think that Barnabas wrote the spurious Catholic Didache. The Didache was an official "Catholic Church Manual of Church Order”.-FF Bruce, op. cit., pp. 124ff, 162. Harnack dates it’s origin around 131 to 160 AD. If this is accurate, then the Apostles did not write this document. It came into existence only after their deaths. The Apostles would never have written a Manual that contradicts their earlier One God Jesus Name teachings.
