Back to The Trinity
Back to By David C. Pack
The Bible is a coded book. It is written as a kind of jigsaw puzzle creating a series of smaller pictures, and then an overall picture, that each only becomes clear in meaning when one properly pieces together all the various passages on a subject. Isaiah 28:10 describes God’s Word as written “here a little, and there a little.”
This is the way we will study this subject. Also, we must let the Bible interpret itself, and this will be done throughout the book. Because professing Christianity has not understood these two points, it has remained deceived, seduced by a counterfeit church, led by the counterfeit god of this world, who has substituted himself in place of the true God.
Again, mankind has been deceived about God’s awesome purpose for it. Notice: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God has prepared for them that love Him” (I Cor. 2:9). Here then is Paul, under inspiration, next explaining how men can understand both the truths and mysteries of God: “But God has revealed them [spiritual things] unto us by his Spirit…” (I Cor 2:10). Take note that spiritual knowledge is not revealed by any supposed third Person of the trinity, called the Holy Spirit. Only “God” can reveal the truth of the Bible to those whom He is calling (John 6:44, 65)—and His Holy Spirit is the agent He uses to do this.
Counterfeit Church
You will learn that the teaching of the triune, “three-in-one” god comes from the great false universal religion, described in Revelation 17:5 as “Mystery Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth.” This “woman church” has used the trinity to infiltrate and deceive all of traditional Christianity. Originally introduced with much controversy, she has been able to successfully use this doctrine to limit the true God to a supposed three persons.
Part of this seduction has been then to necessarily introduce “another Jesus” (II Cor. 11:3-4), who becomes the centrepiece of “another gospel” (same passage), taught as a replacement of the true gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the kingdom of god. All of this deception in turn is derived from and has been impelled by “another spirit” (also same passage)—that of the god of this world—active throughout this world’s “churchianity” in the form of the counterfeit trinity god. The kingdom of God—Christ’s message—offers the only real future for a world otherwise without hope. Only the arrival of Christ’s soon-coming, world-ruling super government will solve humanity’s worst problems, troubles, evils and ills.
Most assume that the word trinity is surely found in the Bible. But even this is not true—the word itself is nowhere in Scripture. The term and its meaning—as are the words triune, three-in-one, etc.—are complete inventions of deceived men. With this cobbled-together god, the universal church has, in fact, been responsible for literally dis fellowshipping—excommunicating!—the true God of the Bible from the world of supposed Christianity!
Who and what then is God? Can He be understood? This volume pulls back the veil concealing the true God from mankind and introduces Him to you. It will explain the origin and history of the trinity doctrine—and will cover the principle scriptures often cited to supposedly “prove” it, exposing the logic—actually the illogic—of trinitarian theology. It will explain the nature and role of the Holy Spirit. It will also answer the question, “Who and what was Christ?”—and is the Christ of the Bible the same as the one worshipped in popular Christendom?
And it will bring irrefutable contrary proof—the truth—from God’s Word about the real nature of the true God of the Bible and Creation. This will open the door to understanding God’s true plan for mankind.
You will be stunned at what you will learn. The subject is compelling reading and unlike what you might expect on one that appears to be esoteric or only able to be understood by scholars and intellectuals. In fact, you may also find yourself wondering how anyone could possibly believe a doctrine so easily seen to be wrong, and of pagan origin.
The Hardest Thing
The most difficult thing for any person to do is to admit being wrong. Unlearning false knowledge and learning true knowledge in its place is not easy, and it can sometimes be a painful, shattering experience. But, you must put aside all bias when reading this book. If you enter it with an open mind, once the evidence is laid out, you will be able to make a clear choice. This means that you must be willing to confess mistakes about beliefs and convictions, which in this case may have been held for a lifetime.
In the book of Acts, the writer Luke describes those of the Greek city of Berea as “…more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so” (Ac 17:11). These new converts were open-minded—but they wanted proof. In all points, they turned to God’s Word as their sole source of truth on matters of doctrine.
This is why Paul wrote the following instruction to every Bible student regarding every doctrine of the Bible: “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good” (I Thes. 5:21). Nowhere did Paul ever state, “Just trust me.” He wanted people to stand on the firm rock of Scripture on all matters. Further, he told the Romans, “Prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” (Rom 12:1-2).
Surely all such proof of doctrine would include proving who and what is God. It does! But first the stage must be set, and this will take time.
