A Christian Guide to restoring the identity of the God of Abraham to

the Church today, and its reconstruction, biblically, as the

Household of Faith.

PATIENCE WORKS PERFECTION

The replacement of decayed sandstones in the walls of St. Paul’s Cathedral has restored Melbourne’s most historic building. A patient replacement of the doctrine of the Trinity by the Truth of the One God can do the same for the Church.

We live in an age of reconstruction. The peoples and events of ancient history are brought to life before our eyes through televised archeological digs and computer generated images.

Surely now is the time for the Church to deconstruct its traditional but erroneous doctrine of the Trinity, so that the former knowledge of the One God can be renewed, and the Church thereby restored.

Does the accepted theology of the Trinity centre on the teachings of Jesus and the apostles, or is it a false construct of fourth century theologians? The answer can be tested by a single truth, one that Jesus himself called “the first commandment.” (Mark 12:29)

ONLY BY DECONSTRUCTING THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY CAN WE

RESTORE THE TRUTH THAT THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD

MOSES: “HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD

IS ONE LORD!”Deuteronomy 6:4

JESUS: “HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD!”

Mark 12:29

• Spot the difference in the statements:

The One True God is One Person “We know that there is but one God,

the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and

we by him.” (1 Corinthians 8:6)

“That they might know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ,

whom you have sent.” (John 17:3)

The One True God is the Father

The determination by the Council of Nicaea that Jesus preexisted as ‘God the Son’ ignored God’s revelation to

Israel of Himself as “One Lord”

The One God was then seen as two co-equal persons: God the Father and God the Son. The declaration that the Holy Spirit is “the Third Person of the Trinity” was made 44 years after Constantine’s death, at the First Council of Constantinople in AD 381. It was reaffirmed at the Council of Chalcedon, in AD 451. The result: a theological darkness descended that remains to this day. Jesus Christ is the Son of God, not “God the Son”.

Those who refused to accept the Doctrine of the Trinity – a doctrine never taught by

Jesus or his Apostles – were called heretics and burned at the stake. It is not enough for Christians to confess belief in the One God of Israel – we must also confess that He is One Person: the Father. Then we can begin

to deconstruct the widely accepted but unscriptural Doctrine of the Trinity. Jesus said to the Samaritan woman: “You do not know what you worship. We know what we

worship: for salvation is of the Jews.” (John 4:22)

NEWSFLASH!God “No Mystery”

Truth seeker discovers word “revelation” accompanies “mystery” throughout New

Testament. Theologians shocked: “May mean change

in long-accepted idea that God is mysterious.”

One plus two equals one? 350 years after Christ’s death the One God of the Bible was declared to be three-in-one,

a doctrine that defies explanation!

Theologians misunderstood the words of Jesus in the Gospel of John – that he

was referring to an eternal preexistence as a separate person, as a Divine ‘God the Son’ rather than as “the word” that “was [face to face] with God”, a word which ‘mirrored’ the Divine purpose.

That “word” was the sum of all that the prophets [had] spoken (Luke 24:25). Its “goings forth had been from old”— from the first prophetic promise, in Genesis 3:15, that “the seed of the woman would crush the serpent’s head”. Beginning at Moses (the Law) and the prophets, Jesus “expounded to them [the disciples on the Emmaus Road] all the things concerning himself in the scriptures.” Jesus is the promised, messianic, King’s Son of the Bible, not the preexistent ‘God the Son’ of erroneous, fourth-century, church tradition.

DECONSTRUCTION IS NECESSARY FOR RENEWAL

The human counterpart of the Spirit of God is a person’s spirit. This is clear

from the apostle’s words “even so” in 1 Corinthians 2:11.

The human spirit is not itself another separate person. Nor are the soul and the body separate persons –

otherwise each individual would have a multiple identity!

To see the individual as three separate and distinct persons that together form a human trinity is an absurdity. Equally absurd is the concept of three persons

co-existing equally as One God. Theologians influenced by Greek

mythology added the Son and the Holy Spirit only after ignoring God’s clear revelation of Himself. Jesus was one

with his Father in unity of purpose and in fellowship in the same way that all of Christ’s followers desire to be. (John 10:28-30 & 17:11,21-23)

If God is Three Persons, why then does the Bible refer to “Him” and “He”,

singular, never to “They” or “Them”?

If the claim is that “He” and “Him” includes all Three Persons, wouldn’t

that mean that when we pray we should address all Three persons,

simultaneously? But Jesus taught that our prayers to God should begin with the singular, “Our Father…”

God is One. Why fractionalize Him?

When we honour the Son we honour the Father.

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, says the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning

and the end, the

first and the last…

Surely I come quickly.”

Amen. Even so, come,

Lord Jesus

Rev. 22:13,20

God’s glory is the Light of the New Jerusalem.

Jesus is the Lamp through

which it shines. Revelation 21:23

Jesus is the image of the

invisible God.

Thomas saw what Philip hadn’t: the Father in the Son.

3 – 1 = 2 – 1 = 13 – 1. Remove the 381 AD addition

of “God the Holy Spirit” as “the Third Person of the Trinity” and the Truth that the Holy Spirit is

the Spirit of the Father is restored. 2 – 1. Remove the 325 AD addition

of “God the Son” as “the Second Person of the Trinity” and the Truth

that “there is but one God, the Father” is restored. Jesus Christ is “the only begotten Son of the Father”. One Person =

One God. Simple arithmetic!

This is our Confession of the One True God

and His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ.
