Page 91 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference
P. 91
Arianism and Trinitarianism have caused much confusion. Who is the author of confusion and lies? Humanistic thinking like the “Da Vinci Code” leads to confusion.
Arianism, which is espoused by the Jehovah’s Witnesses and other followers of the Apostate Origen of Alexandria Egypt, is now going under the name of “unitary monotheism”. Many now embrace Arian doctrine. They do not believe in an eternal burning hell or that there will be a translation of the saints. They believe that heaven or paradise is here on this very imperfect Earth. If Arian teachings are this far off, how can they be right about the Godhead? Many Eastern Religions, Moslems and Jews reject Jesus as the One-God incarnated or the Messiah. They see Jesus as just a good man or Prophet. How can “Christians” also reject Jesus as their “Lord and Messiah?” How can you even have Biblical Christianity without Christ being our One Lord? (Ephesians 4:4- 6.)
Others have been deceived by the non-Biblical Creeds of the Pagan Roman Emperors and Gnostic Hellenized apostate priests. How can there be three distinct “divine” Persons yet the three entities are one and the same? This is nothing but polytheistic Pagan Academy thinking or Platonic and Mystery Religion philosophies. How also can Pagan Roman Emperors and their religious apostate yes men that had no true Biblical conversion nor gave respect or heed to the Scriptures, give authentic doctrine for us to believe and promote about the real One-God? Consider what Dr. John Biddle (1615-1662), educated at Oxford, had to say about the Platonic Trinity theory and the Pagan Greek philosophy of the Athanasian Creed:
According to Dr. Biddle the Trinity and its pagan Greek philosophy was “First hatched by the subtlety of Satan in the heads of the Platonists, to pervert the worship of the true God.”
Dr. Biddle also made this statement about the fallacy of the Athanasian Creed: “for who is there who seeth not that this is as ridiculous as if one should say, (1) Peter is an Apostle, (2) James an Apostle, (3) John an Apostle; yet there are not three Apostles but one Apostle?” Although Dr. Biddle was also mixed-up in some of his theology, he still raises some very good questions about the Trinity and shows us how ridiculous the Platonic Trinity theory really is. Grade School children even understand that 1+1+1=3, 1+1+1 does not equal 1. A person has to ignore all common sense, many Scriptures and logic to believe in the Trinity Theology.
Michael Servetus (1511-1553) who wrote De Trinitas Eroribus a physician and theologian made this statement before he was murdered for not believing in the Catholic Trinity: “They [the theologians and Philosophers] have contrived an imaginary Trinity, three beings in one Nature. But in reality three beings, three Gods...”
Sabellius, who was very intelligent and took a One-God stand, was a Libyan from the Petapolis in Africa. He also saw the Trinity doctrine as a dangerous teaching that leads to a belief in a plurality of Gods.
