The Bible is the only inspired Word of God written by Holy men of old as they were moved by the Holy Spirit. The Old Testament, apart from Esther, as written in Hebrew. The New Testament as written on the original manuscripts in either Aramaic or Greek (Koine Greek). These versions are the only inspired Word of God.
Revelations 22:18
For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
As is obvious, the Bible we read today has been translated into English. There are many translations, all of them differ from each other, some only differ slightly and some by a great deal. We must therefore not blindly accept that every word in the English Bible is the inspired Word of God. What is a fact is that there are many translations of the Bible (see links to Various Bible Translations above), and all translations have until recently been done by Trinitarian's. The new non-Trinitarian translation is simply called 'The Scriptures'. The Scriptures refer to God as 'Yahweh' or 'Elohim' and Jesus as 'Yahushua' but for the purposes of this exercise I'll be sticking to the more traditional names excepting where I feel the need to clarify a passage. For example in the Bible Luke 20: where it says The Lord said to my Lord
it is more correctly rendered in The Scriptures as follows: Luke 20:42 For Dawid himself said in the Book of Psalms, 'Yahweh said to my Master, sit at My right hand, 43 until I make Your enemies a footstool of Your feet.
44 Dawid then calls Him Master, how is He then his Son?'
It is obvious then that there is a trinity bias when reading the Bible in English. So it becomes necessary to look carefully at all passages especially the ones that the Trinitarians rely on to prove the trinity. A good case in point is in the King James Version where words have been added to the original Greek to advance the Trinitarian view.....1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The words, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one,
do not appear in the original manuscript.
As a true Disciple of Christ, alarm bells should be ringing. Why? You may ask! Well, because of what God says concerning the adding of words to his Word? See Deuteronomy 4:2 You shall not add to the word which I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.
And Revelations 22:18 For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book;
The Truth is that the trinity, not mentioned at all in the Bible, is just a figment of imagination, 'invented' by the Emperor of Rome 'Constantine' and the Catholic Church in the 4th century AD, in order to 'marry' the pagan belief's with the Christian doctrine thereby enhancing the political status of both the Catholic church and the Emperor of Rome. Some would eagerly point out that Constantine was 'Baptised' a Christian just before his death so he must have believed in the trinity. Wrong! Before his death Constantine was baptised by the followers of Arius who opposed the trinity and advocated the subordination of Jesus to God.
It is totally unacceptable that any religious organisation can claim to act on behalf of God.
On one hand they (the Catholic Church) could tell the Pagans, who were used to having three or more god's, that Christianity has three god's and on the other hand, to the Christian's and Jews, that these three god's are one. Constantine, the pagan Emperor of Rome, saw the political gain to be made by aligning himself with the 'Christian' Church, summoned and presided over what has become known as the First Ecumenical Council of the Catholic Church. The 'Nicene Creed' was formulated at this Council and became the instrument by which many atrocities were committed under the name of 'Christianity'. Many centuries of persecution followed in which millions of people were murdered under this banner. In the Nicene Creed the satanic verse the church relied on to justify their 'bloody' killings reads as follows [But those who say: 'There was a time when he was not,' and 'He was not before he was made,' and 'He was made out of nothing,' or 'He is of another substance' or 'essence,' or 'The Son of God is created,' or 'changeable,' or 'alterable' - they are condemned by the Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church.]
NB. (He, of course, is referring to Jesus).
And this they shall do to you because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
Perhaps the most infamous of the massacres accredited to the Catholic church was the massacre of St. Bartholomew: Pope Gregory XIII ordered a 'Te Deum' (hymn of praise) to be sung as a special thanksgiving (a practice continued for many years after) and had a medal struck with the motto 'Ugonottorum strages' 1572 ('Slaughter of the Huguenots') showing an angel bearing a cross and sword next to slaughtered Huguenots.
John16:1 “These words I have spoken to you, so that you do not stumble. 2“They shall put you out of the con-gregations, but an hour is coming when everyone who kills you shall think is rendering service to Elohim. 3 And this they shall do to you because they did not know the Father, nor Me.
Daniel 7:25 He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.
What right does the Catholic Church, or any religious organisation for that matter, have to condemn anyone. This right belongs to God alone and He has appointed Jesus to exercise this right. John 17:1 Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said: Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You, 2. As You have given Him authority over all flesh, that He should give eternal life to as many as You have given Him.
It is totally unacceptable that any religious organisation can claim to act on behalf of God. God is quite able to act for Himself. The people who claim to act on behalf of God should take note of the following extracts from Daniel (take particular note of the progression in the words that are highlighted): Daniel 4:17 This decision is by the decree of the watchers, And the sentence by the word of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, Gives it to whomever He will, And sets over it the lowest of men. Daniel 4:25 They shall drive you from men, your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make you eat grass like oxen. They shall wet you with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses.
Nebuchadnezzar was punished
till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men,
Daniel 4:32 And they shall drive you from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. They shall make you eat grass like oxen; and seven times shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever He chooses." Daniel 5:21 Then he was driven from the sons of men, his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and appoints over it whomever He chooses. Nebuchadnezzar was punished till he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men,
Indiscriminate killings carried out in the 'name of God' are a crime against God and humanity. God is quite able to put to death whomsoever He wants and keep alive whomsoever He wants. Suicide killings get you nothing but an early grave with no reward whatsoever. Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going. NB. Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon reputed to be the wisest man that ever lived (ie. apart from Jesus).
