This Falling Away of 2 Thessalonians 2<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0discusses the relationship of the Father, the Son and the Spirit.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let me start this study by asking; if the concept of the Holy Trinity, a three equal-part godhead, is not true; does it change anything in regard to the Father, Son and Spirit all being active in our redemption?<\/p>\n

No, it doesn\u2019t. In this study we\u2019re going to look at Scriptures which define the Father, Son and Spirit relationship; so please pray for the Spirit to guide you to a clear understanding.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People have sought to declare a particular stance on this relationship, but we have to keep in mind that the \u2018falling away\u2019 of 2 Thessalonians 2 that the Apostle Paul warned about, happened in the first few centuries; as Satan was seeking to corrupt Scriptural truth.<\/p>\n

Many of the \u2018councils\u2019 were from Roman Christians, such as Emperor Constantine, who preceded the rise of the\u00a0antichrist Popes<\/a>\u00a0to power. Emperor Constantine was arguably the first Pope of the Roman Church, and his influence led to the concept of the trinity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I recommend using the green Print\/PDF button on the bottom of the study, to print it out in an easy to read format; as you need to read all of the verses, not just glance through them.<\/p>\n

Read all of the verses and simply ask, what are they telling you?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Doesn\u2019t it seem odd and inconsistent, that the Old Testament is monotheistic, where the focus is on the Father, who alone is Elohim; who proclaims\u00a0\u201cThough shall not have any gods before me\u201d\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd let them know that You, Whose Name is \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4, (Yahuah) You alone are the Most High over all the earth.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Psalm 83:18<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And\u00a0then the New Testament has people worshiping Messiah as Elohim?<\/p>\n

What if the enemy has caused us to misunderstand what Scripture is proclaiming, that the Father is Elohim the Most High, who is worthy of our worship; and that though the Son is divine, He is not equal to His Father and is subservient to Him?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What if the enemy has caused believers to focus primarily on worshiping the Son instead of the Father?<\/p>\n

Messiah Himself pointed to his Father as the one you should pray to and worship.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I know, it all sounds like heresy if you\u2019ve been raised to believe in the Holy Trinity of three equal-parts of the Godhead; but I don\u2019t want to trust in man-made beliefs, I want to rely on what Scripture proclaims.<\/p>\n

This study affirms that Messiah is divine, and worthy of our admiration, as He came in the flesh to ratify the everlasting covenant with His blood; and He is fulfilling His Father\u2019s seven Holy Feast Days to redeem the set-apart saints.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Father, His Spirit and His Son, all play a role in our redemption; but Scripture tells a different story than what we\u2019ve been taught by most Pastors; which is that those three parts are all equal in power as a triune godhead.<\/p>\n

Pray to the Spirit for guidance, and ask yourself, \u201cwhat are the verses telling you?\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Note: this study uses the Father and Son\u2019s personal covenant names, Yahuah and Yahusha, which were removed from the King James and other Bible translations.<\/p>\n

Mark 12:29 gives us example of how the King James muddies the waters with the titles of God and Lord, \u201cAnd Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The ISR 98 clearly shows that Yahusha Messiah is proclaiming that Yahuah, the Father, is Elohim.\u00a0\u00a0And \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05e2 Yahusha answered him, \u201cThe first of all the commands is, \u2018Hear, O Israel, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 Yahuah our Elohim, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 Yahuah is one.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Using the proper names helps clarify their roles and relationship; whereas the titles of God and Lord cause confusion. Read\u00a0The Names Of The Father And The Son<\/a><\/p>\n

One of the primary verses that people cite to justify the trinity is 1 John 5:7-8.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the King James it reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cFor there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one<\/em>\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s the problem. The section, referred to as \u201cComma Johannuem\u201d, does not exist in the oldest Greek manuscripts of Aleph, A, B, and the Vulgate.\u00a0\u00a0Comma Johannuem<\/em><\/a>\u00a0refers to this short clause in 1 John 5:7-8 in the Latin Vulgate (Catholic version).\u00a0 It was then included in the Textus Receptus.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The more literal translation, the ISR 98, does not include the part of the text which is not found in all of the manuscripts.\u00a0 It leaves out \u201cthe Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one<\/em>\u201d part, because it is not in the manuscripts.<\/p>\n

Verse 7 \u201cBecause there are three who bear witness:<\/em>\u201d Verse 8 \u201cthe Spirit, and the water, and the blood. And the three are in agreement<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

People also cite Matthew 28:19, which mentions all three.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Therefore, go and make taught ones of all the nations, immersing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Set-apart Spirit,<\/em>\u00a0ISR 98<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One verse mentioning all three does not declare that they are equal parts of the godhead,\u00a0 it just means that all three play a role in our redemption.<\/p>\n

The Father calls us, we are saved through His Son, and we are given the Father\u2019s Spirit.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These verses declare to only baptize in Messiah\u2019s name:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd K\u0115pha (Peter) said to them, \u201cRepent, and let each one of you be immersed in the Name of Yahusha Messiah for the forgiveness of sins. And you shall receive the gift of the Set-apart Spirit<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0Acts 2:38<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cfor He had not yet fallen on any of them, but they had only been immersed in the Name of the Master Yahusha.<\/em>\u201d Acts 8:16<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd he commanded them to be immersed in the Name of Yahusha Messiah. Then they asked him to remain a few days.<\/em>\u201d Act 10:48<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd Sha\u2019ul (Paul) said, \u201cYoh\u0323anan indeed immersed with an immersion of repentance, saying to the people that they should believe in the One who is coming after him, that is, in Messiah Yahusha.\u00a0 And when they heard this, they were immersed in the Name of the Master Yahusha.<\/em>\u201d Act 19:4-5<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Here\u2019s some key verses which clearly proclaim that the Father is Elohim, not the Son.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

John 17:3 declares that the Father is the only true Elohim.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this is everlasting life, that they should know You (the Father),\u00a0the only true Elohim<\/strong>, and Yahusha Messiah whom You have sent<\/em>.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

1 Timothy 2:5 clearly declares that there is one Elohim, the Father; and one Mediator between Him and men.\u00a0 That makes no sense if Messiah is a separate Elohim being or if He is the same Elohim as the Father.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men<\/strong>, the Man Messiah\u00a0Yahusha<\/em>,\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In Revelation 3:12, Messiah calls His Father His Elohim four times.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe who overcomes, I shall make him a supporting post in the Dwelling Place of\u00a0My Elohim<\/strong>, and he shall by no means go out. And I shall write on him the Name of\u00a0My Elohim<\/strong>\u00a0and the name of the city of\u00a0My Elohim<\/strong>, the renewed Yerushalayim, which comes down out of the heaven from\u00a0My Elohim<\/strong>, and My renewed Name.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Are those verses opening your eyes, to see that maybe we\u2019ve been misled about the relationship of the Father, Son and Spirit?<\/p>\n

Many more verses are provided on this study, but first let\u2019s note what Arius (250 CE \u2013 336 CE), who received his religious training at Antioch, the first location of the early assembly, had to say about the matter.\u00a0\u00a0 Unlike Alexandria, which was dominated by the Greek mind, Antioch maintained a Hebraic view, including a strict monotheistic interpretation of Scripture.<\/p>\n

At the Council of Nicea, Arius insisted that Messiah had not existed from all eternity but had a beginning by the creative act of the Father prior to time. He believed that the Son was of a different (heteros) essence or substance than the Father. Because of the virtue of His life and His obedience to His Father\u2019s will, Messiah was to be considered divine. But Arius believed that Messiah was a being, created out of nothing, subordinate to the Father and of a different essence from the Father. He was not coequal, coeternal or consubstantial with the Father. To Arius He was divine but not deity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Before you click away, thinking that is heresy, consider that with the perspective of Arius in mind, the narrative of Scripture becomes congruent.<\/p>\n

Then all of the Bible is monotheistic, as there is only one Elohim, the Father; so the Old Testament and New Testament are congruent and blend together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Elohim did not became a man who died, but rather His divine son represented Him.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Verses that proclaim that Messiah is the Father\u2019s only begotten Son make sense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Messiah\u2019s proclamation that His Father is greater than Him, makes sense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

They are One in mind and purpose, yet they are separate beings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Messiah is the exact representation of His Father, so in effect if you\u2019ve seen the Son, you\u2019ve seen the Father.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Messiah being our Intercessor to the Father makes sense, as how could He intercede to Himself as a triune godhead?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Verses which say to pray to the Father in Messiah\u2019s name, make sense.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The conversations between Messiah and His Father seem normal; that Messiah can do nothing without His Father; that His Father is greater than He; instead of appearing that Messiah is talking to Himself as a triune godhead.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The many verses from Paul, Peter, Titus and James, which address both Elohim the Father and Messiah the Son, make sense; as they are addressing them as separate beings.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

When one sees that the Father is Elohim, the Most High, who is eternal; who created Messiah His Son; and then they created this universe; then you see their order.\u00a0 Then all of Scripture makes sense.<\/p>\n

Then we see the organizational structure of the kingdom:<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of woman is the man,\u00a0and the head of Messiah is Elohim.<\/strong>\u201c<\/em>\u00a01 Corinthians 11:3<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

We are called to be as the Bereans, to read the Scriptures to see if what our Pastors have taught us is correct.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Below I\u2019ve listed verses in focused groups, and I will ask you questions, so that you can discern what you see Scripture proclaiming; and draw your own conclusion.<\/p>\n

The entire Old Testament is about esteeming Elohim the Father, obeying the Father, and revering His name.<\/p>\n

\u201cHear, O Yisra\u2019\u0115l: \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 our Elohim, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 is one!\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Deuteronomy 6:4<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cFear \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 your Elohim and serve Him, and swear by His Name.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Deuteronomy 6:13<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Though the Old Testament points to promised Messiah, it never calls Him Elohim.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses which proclaim one Elohim:\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cAnd this is everlasting life, that they should know You,\u00a0the only true Elohim<\/strong>, and Yahusha Messiah whom You have sent<\/em>.\u201d John 17:3<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the scribe said to Him, \u201cWell said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for\u00a0there is one Elohim<\/strong>, and there is no other besides Him<\/em>.\u201d Mark 12:32. Note that Messiah did not correct him.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor\u00a0there is one Elohim, and one Mediator between Elohim and men<\/strong>, the Man Messiah\u00a0Yahusha<\/em>,\u201d\u00a0 Timothy 2:5\u00a0emphasizes that Messiah is our Mediator to the one Elohim, the Father.<\/p>\n

So then, concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is no matter at all in the world, and that there is no other Elohim but one<\/em>. \u201cFor even if there are so-called mighty ones, whether in heaven or on earth \u2013 as there are many mighty ones and many masters \u2013\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0for us\u00a0there is one Elohim, the Father<\/strong>, from whom all came and for whom we\u00a0live<\/em>, and one Master Yahusha Messiah, through whom all came and through whom we\u00a0live<\/em>.\u201d\u00a01 Corinthians 8:4-6 It says that there\u2019s one Elohim, the Father; and one Messiah.<\/p>\n

Ephesians 4:4-6 again declares that there is One Elohim and one Messiah.\u00a0\u00a0\u201cone body and one Spirit, as you also were called in one expectation of your calling, one Master, one belief, one immersion,\u00a0one Elohim and Father of all<\/strong>, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.<\/em><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses which call Messiah the Son of Elohim:<\/span><\/h3>\n

The Strong\u2019s Greek word 5207 for \u2018son\u2019 is uihos.\u00a0 Apparently a primary word; a son (sometimes of animals), used very widely of immediate, remote or figurative kinship: \u2013 child, foal, son.<\/p>\n

And what is a child?\u00a0 Is a child not a creation of the Father?\u00a0\u00a0Is a child equal to the Father?<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Shim\u02bdon K\u0115pha answering, said, \u201cYou are the Messiah,\u00a0the Son of the living Elohim<\/strong>. And \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05e9\u05e2 answering, said to him, \u201cBlessed are you, Shim\u02bdon Bar-Yonah, for flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but My Father in the heavens.\u201d\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Matthew 16:16-17<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cNo one has ever seen Elohim. The only brought-forth Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He did declare.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 1:18<\/p>\n

\u201cFor Elohim so loved the world that He gave\u00a0His only brought-forth Son<\/strong>, so that everyone who believes in Him should not perish but possess everlasting life.\u00a0 He who believes in Him is not judged, but he who does not believe is judged already, because he has not believed in the Name of\u00a0the only brought-forth Son of Elohim<\/strong>.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 3:16,18<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd we have believed, and we know that You are the Messiah,\u00a0the Son of the living Elohim<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d John 6:69<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Philip said, \u201cIf you believe with all your heart, it is permitted.\u201d And he answering, said, \u201cI believe that\u00a0Yahusha Messiah is the Son of Elohim<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Act 8:37<\/p>\n

\u201cthat Elohim has filled this for us, their children, having raised up Yahusha, as it has also been written in the second Tehillah,\u00a0\u2018You are My Son, today I have brought You forth.\u2019\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0Acts 13:33<\/p>\n

\u201cWe announce to you what we have seen and heard, so that you too might have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with\u00a0the Father and with His Son Yahusha Messiah<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>1 John 1:3<\/p>\n

\u201cWhoever confesses that\u00a0Yahusha is the Son of Elohim<\/strong>, Elohim stays in him, and he in Elohim.\u201d<\/em>\u00a01 John 4:15<\/p>\n

\u201cFavour, compassion, peace be with you from Elohim the Father, and from the\u00a0Master Yahusha Messiah, the Son of the Father<\/strong>, in truth and love.\u201d<\/em>\u00a02 John 1:3<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses which show that the Father is the Son\u2019s Elohim:<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201c\u2026Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say,\u00a0My El, my El<\/strong>, why hast thou forsaken me?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Matthew 27:46. Messiah is calling out to His Father, His El.<\/p>\n

Yahusha said to her, \u201cDo not hold on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, \u2018I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and\u00a0to my Elohim<\/strong>and your Elohim.\u2019<\/em>\u00a0\u201d\u00a0John 20:17<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I wish you to know that the head of every man is the Messiah, and the head of woman is the man, and\u00a0the head of Messiah is Elohim<\/strong><\/em>.\u201d 1 Corinthians 11:3<\/p>\n

\u201cFor to which of the messengers did He ever say, \u201cYou are My Son, today I have brought You forth\u201d? And again, \u201cI shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son?\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hebrews 1:5<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness. Because of this,\u00a0Elohim, your Elohim, has anointed You<\/strong>\u00a0with the oil of gladness more than Your companions.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Hebrews 1:9 is proclaiming the Elohim, Messiah\u2019s Elohim, anointed Him.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses that open up New Testament books, which proclaim that the Father is Elohim, and that Messiah is\u00a0separate.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Note: Messiah was with His Father in heaven when these books were written.\u00a0 If they were the same triune godhead, why would each author address them separately?<\/p>\n

The word \u2018and<\/em><\/strong>\u2018 tells us that they are not the same being, but are separate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cYahusha said to them, \u201cIf Elohim were your Father, you would love Me, for\u00a0I came forth from Elohim<\/strong>, and am here. For I have not come of Myself, but He sent me.<\/em>\u201d John 8:42<\/p>\n

\u201cFor, let this mind be in you which was also in Messiah Yahusha, who,\u00a0being in the form of Elohim, did not regard equality with Elohim a matter to be grasped,<\/strong>\u00a0but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, and came to be in the likeness of men<\/em>.\u201d Philippians 2:5-7<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses that show that Messiah was created:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses that show that Messiah is our Intercessor to the Father:<\/span><\/h3>\n

If Messiah is the mediator between His Father and man, how is it possible that He is also the Father?<\/p>\n

Such reasoning is not only unscriptural, but also illogical.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cWho is he who is condemning? It is Messiah who died, and furthermore is also raised up, who\u00a0is also at the right hand of Elohim, who also makes intercession for us.<\/strong>\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Romans 8:34<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses that show that the Father and Son have separate thrones:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Revelation takes place in the heavens, where the Father and Son are together.\u00a0 If they are the same being, why are they both addressed and have separate thrones?<\/p>\n

\u201cTo him who overcomes I shall give to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Revelation 3:21<\/p>\n

Revelation 4:2-9 describes the throne in heaven and the One who sits on it\u00a0 \u201cAnd immediately I came to be in the Spirit and saw a throne set in the heaven, and One sat on the throne.\u201d\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>and said to the mountains and rocks, \u201cFall on us and hide us from the face of\u00a0Him sitting on the throne<\/strong>\u00a0and from the wrath of the Lamb,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Revelation 6:16<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause of this they are before\u00a0the throne of Elohim<\/strong>, and serve Him day and night in His Dwelling Place. And He who sits on the throne shall spread His Tent over them.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 7:15<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>And another messenger came and stood at the altar, holding a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the set-apart ones upon the golden altar which was\u00a0before the throne<\/strong>.\u00a0And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the set-apart ones, went up before Elohim from the hand of the messenger.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Revelation 8:3 -4<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/b>And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and\u00a0worshipped Elohim who sat on the throne<\/strong>, saying, \u201cAm\u0115n!

\u201cTherefore Yahusha responded and said to them, \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does.<\/em>\u201cJohn 5:19<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd this I confess to you, that according to the Way which they call a sect, so\u00a0I worship the Elohim of my fathers<\/strong>, believing all that has been written in the Torah and in the Prophets,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Act 24:14<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd so the secrets of his heart are revealed. And so, falling down on his face, he shall\u00a0worship Elohim<\/strong>, declaring that Elohim is truly among you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a01 Corinthians 14:25<\/p>\n

\u201cbeing filled with the fruit of righteousness, through Yahusha Messiah, to the esteem and praise of Elohim.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Philippians 1:11<\/p>\n

\u201cFor we are the circumcision, who are serving Elohim in the Spirit, and boasting in Messiah Yahusha , and do not trust in the flesh.\u201d Philippians\u00a0<\/em>3:3<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the four living creatures, each having six wings, were covered with eyes around and within. And they do not cease, day or night, saying, \u201cSet-apart, set-apart, set-apart, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 \u011al Shaddai, who was, and who is, and who is coming!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Revelation 4:8<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when the living creatures give esteem and respect and thanks to Him who sits on the throne, who lives forever and ever,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 4:9<\/p>\n

\u201cthe twenty-four elders fall down before Him who sits on the throne and bow before Him who lives forever and ever, and they cast their crowns before the throne, saying,\u00a0\u201cYou are worthy, O Yahuah, to receive esteem and respect and power, for You have created all, and because of Your desire they are, and were created.\u201d<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>Revelation 4:10 -11<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201c<\/strong>And I saw another messenger flying in mid-heaven, holding the everlasting Good News to announce to those dwelling on the earth, even to every nation and tribe and tongue and people, saying with a loud voice, \u201cFear Elohim and give esteem to Him, because the hour of His judgment has come. And worship Him who made the heaven and the earth, and sea, and fountains of water.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 14:6-7<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd they sing the song of Mosheh the servant of Elohim, and the song of the Lamb, saying, \u201cGreat and marvellous are Your works, Yahuah \u011al Shaddai! Righteous and true are Your ways, O Sovereign of the set-apart ones! Who shall not fear You, O Yahuah, and esteem Your Name? Because You alone are kind. Because all nations shall come and worship before You, for Your righteousnesses have been made manifest.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Revelation 15:3 -4<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd after this I heard a loud voice of a great crowd in the heaven, saying, \u201cHalleluyah! Deliverance and esteem and respect and power to Yahuah our Elohim!<\/strong>\u201c<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 19:1<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, \u201cSee, do not do it! I am your fellow servant, and of your brothers who possess the witness of Yahusha.\u00a0Worship Elohim!<\/strong>\u00a0For the witness of Yahusha is the spirit of prophecy.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 19:10<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I, Yoh\u0323anan, saw and heard these matters. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who showed me these matters.\u00a0And he said to me, \u201cSee, do not!

Here\u2019s a list of verses that show that Messiah is to be praised, as He is divine:<\/span><\/h3>\n

Verses tell us to revere Messiah and to praise Him for His work of redemption; but the enemy has caused Christians to primarily revere the Son, which steals away from the worship of Elohim.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere is He who has been born Sovereign of the Yehud\u0331im? For we saw His star in the East and have come to do reverence to Him.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Matthew 2:2<\/p>\n

\u201cbut grow in the favour and knowledge of our Master and Saviour Yahusha Messiah. To Him be the esteem both now and to a day that abides. Am\u0115n.\u201d<\/em>\u00a02 Peter 3:18<\/p>\n

\u201cElohim, having of old spoken in many portions and many ways to the fathers by the prophets,\u201d\u00a0has in these last days spoken to us by the Son, whom He has appointed heir of all, through whom also He made the ages,\u00a0\u00a0who being the brightness of the esteem and the exact representation of His substance, and sustaining all by the word of His power, having made a cleansing of our sins through Himself, sat down at the right hand of the Greatness on high, having become so much better than the messengers, as He has inherited a more excellent Name than them. For to which of the messengers did He ever say, \u201cYou are My Son, today I have brought You forth\u201d?1<\/sup>\u00a0And again, \u201cI shall be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son\u201d?\u00a0\u00a0And when He again brings the first-born into the world, He says, \u201cLet all the messengers of Elohim do reverence to Him.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Hebrews 1:1-6<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd when He took the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each holding a harp, and golden bowls filled with incense, which are the prayers of the set-apart ones.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0And they sang a renewed song, saying, \u201cYou are worthy to take the scroll, and to open its seals, because You were slain, and have redeemed us to Elohim by Your blood out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,\u00a0and made us sovereigns and priests to our Elohim, and we shall reign upon the earth.\u201d\u2026 saying with a loud voice, \u201cWorthy is the Lamb having been slain to receive power and riches and wisdom, and strength and respect and esteem and blessing!\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Revelation 5:8-10,12<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a list of verses that show that we are to live for and pray to the Father:<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cBut you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door,\u00a0pray to your Father<\/strong>who is in the secret place. And your Father who sees in secret shall reward you openly.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Matthew 6:6<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.\u00a0This, then, is the way you should pray<\/strong>: \u2018Our Father who is in the heavens, let Your Name be set-apart,\u00a0let Your reign come, let Your desire be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.\u00a0And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And do not lead us into trial, but deliver us from the wicked one \u2013 because Yours is the reign and the power and the esteem, forever. Am\u0115n.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Matthew 6:7-13<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd whatever you\u00a0ask (the Father) in My Name<\/strong>, that I shall do, in order that the Father might be esteemed in the Son.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 14:13<\/p>\n

\u201cYou did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, so that whatever you\u00a0ask the Father<\/strong>\u00a0in My Name He might give you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 15:16<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd in that day you shall ask Me none at all. Truly, truly, I say to you, whatever you\u00a0ask the Father in My Name<\/strong>\u00a0He shall give you. Until now you have asked naught in My Name. Ask, and you shall receive, in order that your joy might be complete. In that day you shall ask in My Name, and I do not say to you that I shall pray the Father on your behalf,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 16:23 24, 26<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if any widow has children or grandchildren, let them first learn to treat their own house reverently, and to repay their parents. For this is good and acceptable before Elohim. And she who is truly a widow, and left alone,\u00a0trusts in Elohim and continues in petitions and prayers night and day<\/strong>.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>1 Timothy 5:4-5<\/p>\n

\u201cIf any of you lacks wisdom,\u00a0let him ask of Elohim<\/strong>, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it shall be given to him.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0James 1:5<\/p>\n

\u201cDraw near to Elohim<\/strong>\u00a0and He shall draw near to you.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>James 4:8<\/p>\n

\u201cDrawing near to Him, a living Stone \u2013 rejected indeed by men, but chosen by Elohim and precious;\u00a0you also, as living stones, are being built up, a spiritual house, a set-apart priesthood, to\u00a0offer up spiritual slaughter offerings acceptable to Elohim<\/strong>\u00a0through Yahusha Messiah.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>1 Peter 2:4 -6<\/p>\n

\u201cIf anyone speaks, let it be as the Words of Elohim. If anyone serves, let it be as with the strength which Elohim provides, so that Elohim might be praised in it all through Yahusha Messiah<\/strong>, to whom belong the esteem and the rule forever and ever. Am\u0115n.\u201d\u00a0<\/em>1 Peter 4:11<\/p>\n

The Father and Son are one in thought and actions.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The following verses are used to say that the Father and the Son are one in person. However, they simply mean that they are one in thought and action; as a husband and wife are \u201cone\u201d, yet are still separate beings.<\/p>\n

\u201cTherefore Yahusha responded and said to them, \u201cTruly, truly, I say to you, the Son is able to do none at all by Himself, but only that which He sees the Father doing, because whatever He does, the Son also likewise does.<\/em>\u201cJohn 5:19<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cI and My Father are one.\u201d Again the Yehud\u0331im picked up stones to stone Him.<\/em>\u00a0John 10:30-31<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIf I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me; but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you know and believe that the Father is in Me, and I in Him<\/em>.\u201d John 10:37-38<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cBecause I spoke not from Myself, but the Father who sent Me has given Me a command, what I should say and what I should speak.\u201d John 12:49<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Set-apart Father, guard them in Your Name which You have given Me, so that they might be one, as We are.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 17:11<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd I do not pray for these alone, but also for those believing in Me through their word, so that they all might be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, so that they too might be one in Us, so that the world might believe that You have sent Me. \u201cAnd the esteem which You gave Me I have given them, so that they might be one as We are one, \u201cI in them, and You in Me, so that they might be perfected into one, so that the world knows that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 17:20-23<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

What is the role of the Holy Spirit?<\/span><\/h3>\n

There is no Scripture which declares that the Spirit of Elohim is 1\/3rd of the godhead. Scripture never declares that it is equal to the Father in power.<\/p>\n

Scripture does proclaim that the Spirit of the Father is sent to those who have a covenant relationship with Him through the Son.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I shall ask the Father, and He shall give you another Helper, to stay with you forever, the Spirit of the Truth, whom the world is unable to receive, because it does not see Him or know Him. But you know Him, for He stays with you and shall be in you.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0John 14:16<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.<\/em>\u00a0John 16:7<\/p>\n

\u201cBut when they deliver you up, do not worry about how or what you should speak. For it shall be given to you in that hour what you shall speak, for it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father speaking in you.<\/em>\u00a0 Matthew 10:19-20<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Now \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 Yahuah is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4 Yahuah is, there is freedom.<\/em>\u00a02 Corinthians 3:17<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h3>\n

There is no Scriptural basis for the concept of the trinity; that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are equal parts of a godhead.<\/p>\n

Scriptures only seem to be congruent when:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You see the Father as the most High God\/Elohim;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Messiah as the Father\u2019s first-born, thus He is deity, but He is separate and subservient to the Father;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That the world was created through them;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That Messiah is the image of the invisible Father, who came in the flesh to fulfill His Father\u2019s will, to redeem His set apart people;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And that the (Holy) Spirit of the Father is given to those who have a covenant relationship with the Father through the Son.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Then Messiah\u2019s statements about the Father and His conversations with the Father, seem very normal.<\/p>\n

Then Messiah, who is a representation of the Father in the flesh, could be tempted by sin; and could die as the Passover Lamb, and be raised again by the Father.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Father, Son and Set-apart Spirit are all vital to our salvation; and now hopefully we understand their unique relationship much better.<\/p>\n

The Roman Deception<\/span><\/h3>\n

Tertullian, a Latin theologian is credited as being the first to use the Latin words \u2018Trinity\u2019 (Latin: Trinitas), \u2018person\u2019 and \u2018substance\u2019 when he wrote in the early 3rd century, to explain that the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as \u2018one in essence, not one in Person\u2018.<\/p>\n

The concept of the trinity, of three equal parts of the Godhead, is a creation of Rome; based on the trinity of pagan gods dating back to Babylon.<\/p>\n

In 381 A.D., at the Council of Constantinople, the Trinity doctrine controversy was settled: \u201cAccording to the discipline of the apostles, and the doctrine of the gospel, let us believe the sole deity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, under an equal majesty, and a pious Trinity\u2026<\/em>\u201d Nicene Council<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Emperor Constantine and the antichrist Roman Catholic Church are behind the false trinity doctrine.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is the Athanasian Creed, which has been used by Christian churches since the sixth century. It is the first creed in which the equality of the three persons of the Trinity is explicitly stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three Gods but one God. So there is One Father, not Three Fathers; one Son, not Three Sons; One Holy Ghost, not Three Holy Ghosts. And in this Trinity none is afore or after Other, None is greater or less than Another, but the whole Three Persons are Co-eternal together, and Co-equal. So that in all things, as is aforesaid, the Unity in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity, is to be worshipped. He therefore that will be saved, must thus think of the Trinity.\u201d Catholic Encyclopedia<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

This is what the Roman Catholic Church teaches, that the Trinity is the very foundation of her whole dogmatic system.<\/p>\n

And that is because she is a\u00a0harlot<\/em>\u00a0church, whose teachings are based on the Babylonian Mysteries; thus her title,\u00a0Mystery, Babylon the Great<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Pagan Trinities<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Babylonian Trinity is Nimrod the Father, Semiramus the Mother, Tammuz the Son.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Egyptian Trinity is Osiris the Father, Isis the Mother, Horus the son.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Greek Trinity is Zeus, Athena and Apollo<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Roman Capitoline Triad is Jupiter, Juno and Minerva<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Pre-Islamic Arabian Trinity is Al-Lat, Al-Uzza and Manat<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Hindu Trinity, Trimurti is Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Buddhist Trinity is Amitabha Buddha, Mahasthamaprapta and Kwan Tin 600 B.C.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
