The Trinity/Binity, Part 11: Definitive Proof That God Is Not a Trinity or Binity

The most damaging proof that shows that God is not a Trinity is 1 Corinthians 8:4-6 [pa|in]:
Now concerning the eating of food offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world and that there is no God but one. For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him; and there is one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things are and we through him.

JEHOVAH ALONE IS THE TRUE GOD AND IS THE FATHER

The following scriptures prove that only the Father is Jehovah and the only true God. Jesus is never once referred to as "the true God" whether in his fleshly or resurrected spiritual forms. Jehovah is repeatedly shown to be one, and only one individual, not a Trinity, nor a group of individuals in one God.

Genesis 17:1 [par|int]
. . . Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him: “I am God Almighty. Walk before me and prove yourself faultless.

Exodus 3:15 [par|int]
"This is what you are to say to the Israelites, ’Jehovah the God of your forefathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name forever, and this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation."

Exodus 6:2, 3 [par|int]
Then God said to Moses: “I am Jehovah. And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but with regard to my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them."

Leviticus 19:12 [par|int]
"You must not swear to a lie in my name and thus profane the name of your God. I am Jehovah."

Deuteronomy 4:35 [par|int]
"You yourselves have been shown these things so you will know that Jehovah is the true God; there is no other besides him."

Deuteronomy 4:39 [par|int]
"Know, therefore, on this day, and take it to heart that Jehovah is the true God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath. There is no other."

1 Kings 8:60 [par|int]
" . . . so that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is the true God. There is no other!"

2 Kings 19:15 [par|int]
And Hezekiah began to pray before Jehovah and say: "O Jehovah the God of Israel, sitting enthroned above the cherubs, you alone are the true God of all the kingdoms of the earth. You made the heavens and the earth."

Isaiah 41:4 [par|int]
"I, Jehovah, am the First One; and with the last ones I am the same.”.

Isaiah 42:8 [par|int]
"I am Jehovah. That is my name; I give my glory to no one else, nor my praise to graven images."

Isaiah 43:10-13a [par|int]
". . . Before me no God was formed, and after me there has been none."

"I—I am Jehovah, and besides me there is no savior. I am the One who declared and saved and made known when there was no foreign god among you. So you are my witnesses," declares Jehovah, "and I am God.

"Also, I am always the same One."

Isaiah 45:18 [par|int]
For this is what Jehovah says, the Creator of the heavens, the true God, the One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it, who did not create it simply for nothing, but formed it to be inhabited: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else."

Isaiah 63:16 [par|int]
"You, O Jehovah, are our Father."

Isaiah 64:8 [par|int]
"But now, O Jehovah, you are our Father. We are the clay, and you are our Potter; We are all the work of your hand."

Ezekiel 20:44 [par|int]
"Then you will have to know that I am Jehovah when I deal with you for the sake of my name, not according to your wicked conduct or according to your corrupted dealings, O house of Israel,’ declares the sovereign Lord Jehovah.”

Zechariah 14:9 [par|int]
And Jehovah will be King over all the earth. In that day Jehovah will be one, and his name one.

Matthew 6:9-10 [par|int]
"You must pray, then, this way: ’Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified. Let your kingdom come. Let your will take place, as in heaven, also on earth.’"

John 12:28 [par|int]
"Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came out of heaven: "I have glorified it and will glorify it again."

John 17:1, 3 [par|int]
"Father . . . This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ."

John 17:6 [par|int]
"I have made your name manifest to the men whom you gave me out of the world. They are yours, and you gave them to me, and they have observed your word."

John 17:25, 26 [par|int]
"Righteous Father, the world has, indeed, not come to know you, but I know you, and these have come to know that you sent me. I have made your name known to them and will make it known, so that the love with which you loved me may be in them and I in union with them."

1 Corinthians 8:5, 6 [par|int]
For even though there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many “gods” and many “lords,” there is actually to us one God, the Father, from whom all things are and we for him.

The Trinity/Binity, Part 15: Definitive Proof That Holy Spirit Is Not a Distinct Personage

Missing Where It Would Be Expected The holy spirit lacks any significant mention in relationship with Jesus' and the Father. At  Matthew 24:36   [ pa | in ]  Jesus said, "Concerning that day and hour nobody knows, neither the angels of the heavens nor the Son, but only the Father." Where is the mention of the holy spirit here? Nobody else knows the day and hour, but "only the Father", and it mentions the Son, but why did Jesus not specify the holy spirit? Does it know or does it not? Well, nobody knows but the Father. Thus, only the Father is God. Holy spirit does not appear as a personage on or near the throne of God along with the lamb in heaven in the Revelation. ( Revelation 5:6 , 13   [ pa | in ] ; 6:16   [ pa | in ] ; 7:9, 10   [ pa | in ] , 17   [ pa | in ] ; 22:1   [ pa | in ] ) In fact, at Acts 7:55-56   [ pa | in ] , Stephen also observed Jesus at God's right hand, but again, no third figure. All he saw was Jesus sitting at th...

The Trinity/Binity, Part 14 (1): Is There Proof That Holy Spirit Is a Distinct Personage? (General)

Unlike the claim that Jesus is God, there is no question that there are plenty of scriptures that seem to apply personhood to the holy spirit and there is no doubt that it is a part of God. The question is whether it is a distinct personage separate from the Father, Jehovah. If holy spirit were proved to be a personage separate from Jehovah, then it would at least prove that God is a Binity. Below, we will consider what Trinitarians and Binitarians miss in the proofs they provide. They tend to focus only on the personification of the holy spirit in the Scriptures, and not on how its personification is used, the role the holy spirit serves in the cited scripture or other language used regarding it. Is It Blasphemy Against the Spirit to Be Wrong About it? Some claim that it is blasphemy against the holy spirit to claim that it is not its own personage if it is or that it is its own personage when it is not. However, instead of making assumptions about that issue based on personalfeel...

Non-thinking, Part 6 (1): Testing the "Proofs"

Updated on August 29, 2022 The same standard of evidence should be held to proving a doctrine as to proving a contradicting doctrine, as well as to disproving them. Without such evidence, the doctrines of men fall apart. Courts hold a high standard of evidence to prevent convicting the wrong person. [1] Convictions acquired on weak circumstantial evidence, even mounds of it, have been thrown out on appeal because the case was not based on established rules of evidence. Likewise, we should hold a high standard of evidence to protect ourselves from false doctrines. You are the judge here, and you must judge fairly or be judged for rejecting the salvation of Jehovah based upon superstition and pre-determined bias of a religion rather than the Scriptures. Paul quoted Isaiah 29:14   [ pa | in ] this way, "I will make the wisdom of the wise men perish, and the intelligence of the intellectuals I will reject." ( 1Co 1:19   [ pa | in ] ) Jesus said, "Truly I say to you, unle...
