Page 96 - Countering Trinitarian Arguments With Historical Reference

Holman Bible Handbook, General Editor David S. Dockey, 1992, page 141. Makes a very true and profound statement about Jesus’ Divinity. “In Jesus’ use of “I AM” (ego eimi), He claimed to be *Yahweh [God], in the flesh [John 8:58].” (The *“EHYEH ASHER EHYEH or I AM that I AM”)
Could Jesus Himself, Paul, Peter, John, Steven, James, Luke, Moses, Isaiah, etc. all have been wrong and the later third and fourth century Catholic Church be right? The answer is no. Jesus, the early first century Church, Apostles, and even Old Testament prophets are right. There exists no Trinity or plurality of gods that coexist together in one Godhead or Pantheon. There exists only one deity, Lord or God. The Great I AM.
Real Christians will not condone nor promote the false teachings and philosophies of apostate Gnostic and Catholic so-called Post-Apostolic Fathers like Tertullian, Irenaeus, Polycarp, Hermas, Clement of Rome, Justin Martyr, Philo, Pantaenus, Clement of Alexandria and Origen. Nor any other Catholic or Trinitarian theologians like Augustine or Jerome. Neither do we endorse the teachings of the Pagan Philosophers like Socrates, Plato, or Aristotle. To study these men and the history that they made and how to counter their false doctrine is understandable. It is from these types of men we have many false doctrines that have deceived and enslaved so many. The common primary doctrine of these unrepented men is the Trinity doctrine. All of these men and others like them fulfilled Acts 20:29. Many today are also fulfilling Matt. 24:23-24 and 2 Tim. 3:13.
Real Christians will reject polytheism and its newer forms, the Arian two-god Logos, and Trinity three-god theories. If there is one word upon which many of the earth’s woes can be hinged, it is the word Trinity. God cannot be a Unity: for there were and still are no other Gods for Him to have unity with. God the Great I AM is held in true Apostolic Judaic-Christian theology as the unique infinite, self-existent Creator-Ehyeh of everything that exists; there is no other God than Himself. He alone is the supreme divine GOD-EMPEROR of the UNIVERSE. (See Zec. 14:9, Rev. 19:16, Matt. 25:31) There were no co-existing or co-equal persons with Him at any time or even beyond time. There is only one Transcendent one. The Da Vinci Code theories reduce Jesus to a mere Jewish man that was conceived and born out of wedlock, a dishonest person that falsely claimed to be divine and a fornicator that had sexual relations with Mary Magdalene.
Early Scriptures called Jesus God. Let us also consider the historical and Biblical evidence of one of the earliest known New Testament fragments found that runs countercurrent to Arian Trinitarian or the humanistic Gnostic Da Vinci Code Theology.
We now quote: Apologia defense of our faith Under New Testament Manuscripts.
Magdalen Papyrus (P64) “These papyrus fragments have been the center of a controversial claim by German papyrologist Carsten Peter Thiede that three pieces of Matthew’s gospel are actually the oldest New Testament fragments yet discovered. Thiede recently documented his ideas in a book called The Jesus Papyrus (1995), which later became the basis for a 1996 Time article Eyewitness to Jesus, and a TLC Documentary (aired Oct. 19, 1998) by the same name.
