We normally think of Jesus when we hear the term Christ. Most often the two terms are paired as in Christ Jesus or Jesus Christ.
We know that The Christ is our Saviour, Lord and King. But the concept of the Trinity waters down the effectiveness of that confession as we allow for two other `persons` to be co-honored with The Christ - the Father and the Holy Spirit.
Since the Word states quite clearly that the Creator is One Lord the question is: From where does the concept of the Trinity arise?
The reasoning goes something like this:
→ God is eternal
→ Jesus came into being 2000 years ago
→ God is the Father
→ Jesus is the Son
→ Fathers always come before Sons
Ergo the Father is greater than the Son having come before Him and begotten Him. That which comes before must be unique from that which comes after.
So, we see that our concept of time (beginning, middle and end) creates the necessity of having three persons involved in what we refer to as `the godhead`. Because the carnal mind is enmity against the Lord: for it is not subject to the law of the Lord, neither indeed can be.   The Lord is a Spirit. He does not relate to the animalistic tendencies of man because that mindest cannot grasp the value of His laws and so cannot live in them. |
It is in carnal, rational thinking, ignoring spiritual revelation, that we get in trouble. That which is heavenly must be absorbed by faith in the eternal Word and eternal Spirit and not by earthly logic.
Invariably though, human beings will elevate rational thought above revelation when, in fact, faith requires us to do the very opposite.
The following scriptures reveal heavenly, spiritual Truth. They have been in the Bible for 2000 years but have been conveniently ignored in favor of semi-rational trinitarian theology. I say semi-rational because trinitarians end up saying that we can`t fully comprehend the concept of the Trinity.
Jesus said that you will know the Truth and the Truth will make you Free Indeed. He said that He is the Truth. He said that He sets us free. Bondage results from ignoring or rejecting the Truth.
But when the fulness of the time was come, the Holy Spirit sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,  |
If we are to be effective in preaching, teaching and witnessing to the Gospel of Jesus Christ we must give Him all praise, glory and honor both now and forever.
And every creature who is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sits upon the throne, even unto the Lamb for ever and ever.  |
We must forsake all others and follow Him
And every one that has forsaken houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life. |
. In case there is still any uncertainty about who and what The Christ is, hear what Isaiah prophesied about Him:
Jesus is the Spirit Soul And Body of our Creator.
Jesus is Lord! |
