Is the Trinity in the Book of Exodus?

Is the Trinity in the Book of Exodus?

Papyrus Oxyrhynchus 1075, a 3rd or 4th century CE manuscript showing part of Exodus 40" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exodus_40">Exodus 40

Exodus is the Bible book that gives the history of the choosing of the ancient Israelites as God’s chosen people, or nation, and their entering into a special covenant with God to bind that relationship. The Trinity doctrine is often said to be the main doctrine of Christianity. If that is true, we should certainly find the doctrine in this very important Bible book. In this article, we’ll explore the question, “Is the Trinity in the book of Exodus”?

How Should John 1:1 Be Translated?

How Should John 1:1 Be Translated?

There is some controversy as to how should John 1:1 be translated. Trinitarians often use the verse to support their contention that Jesus is the eternal Almighty God. John 1:1 is often translated as, “and the Word was God”, and used to assert the Son of God, Jesus Christ is Almighty God? How about “a god”?

The traditional rendering in English is:

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”

There are many other variations of rendering John 1:1 which are more accurate according to the Greek text, both in translation or paraphrase, John 1:1c also exist. read more

“The Trinity: Try to Understand It, and You’ll Lose Your Mind. Try to Deny It and You’ll LOSE YOUR SOUL!” (anonymous quote, often attributed to Augustine).

We  keep looking for the Trinity God in the scriptures, but we just can’t seem to find him, reminiscent of Elijah making fun of Baal not showing up for the fire contest as to who is the true God:

“‘He’s a god, so maybe he’s busy. ‘Maybe he’s relieving himself. ‘Maybe he’s busy someplace. Maybe he’s taking a nap and somebody needs to wake him up'”—1 Kings 18:27 ISV read more

Children of God, Brothers and Sisters of Christ

Children of God, Brothers and Sisters of Christ

Picture

Trinitarians often refer to Jesus Christ as “God the Son”. According to the scriptures, he is “the Son of God,” but not “God the Son”. Christians are “children of God”, and “brothers and sisters”  of Christ (Matthew 25:40; Hebrews 2:11; Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21), but never “children of Christ” in the scriptures. According to the scriptures, Christians are “born of God” ( John 1:13; 1 John 3:9; John 4:7; John 5:1,4,18), but never “born of Christ”. Christ has “brothers and sisters” (Matthew 25:40; Hebrews 2:11; Matthew 12:50; Mark 3:35; Luke 8:21), but no children. God has “children”, but no brothers (Romans 8:14,15; Galatians 3:26; Revelation 21:6,7). read more

Biblical Truths About God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit

Biblical Truths About God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit

Is the Bible reliable?
The Bible has the truth about God, Jesus, & the holy Spirit.

What is the truth about God, Jesus, and the holy Spirit?

WHO IS GOD?

-Jesus himself referred to his “Father” as “the ONLY true God” (John 17:1,3).

“There is . . . one Lord, one faith, one baptism; ONE GOD AND FATHER”—Ephesians 4:4-6 LSB

“For us there is ONLY one God, the Father”—1 Corinthians 8:6 NASB

WHO IS JESUS?

“The true God” has “his Son, Jesus Christ” (1 John 5:20).

“Yahweh” “God Almighty” “has glorified His servant Jesus” (Exodus 3:15; 6:2,3; Acts 3:13 LSB). read more

Does the Holy Spirit Have a Name?

Does the Holy Spirit Have a Name?

 Trinitarians sometimes claim the holy Spirit is person because of Jesus’ words:“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19 LSB), and conclude that the holy Spirit has a personal name. Therefore, we do well to ask, “Is the holy Spirit a person”?

EXAMINING MATTHEW 28:18-20

“Baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”—Matthew 28:19 LSB

If we take “name”t literally at Matthew 28:19, then the three have only one name, because “name” is singular, not plural. read more

Are “God the Son” & “God the Holy Spirit” Biblical?

Are “God the Son” & “God the Holy Spirit” Biblical?

Christ in Glory with Four Saints and a Donor (c. 1492 painting by Ghirlandaio) depicts God the Son seated in Heaven.

Catholics and most Protestant groups embrace the Trinity as one of their primary, if not their main, doctrine, including the titles “God the Son” and “God the Holy Spirit”. Are these titles Biblical?

JESUS’ EXAMPLE

Jesus left “an example” for us to “follow closely” (1 Peter 2:21 NIV), which we should endeavor to do, albeit imperfectly.

Jesus publicly confronted and exposed false teachers and their “false doctrines” (1 Timothy 1:3). For example: read more

Is Salvation Easy?

Is Salvation Easy?

The Second Great Awakening, when altar calls became popular

Some churches, at the close of their Sunday service, have what is known as an “altar call”, where attendees are invited to the front of the church, and speak with the preacher, with some becoming very emotional. After this the preacher sometimes announces to the congregation that ‘so and so’ has been “saved”. Indeed, according to some Christians, all one has to do is “believe in Jesus, and they will be saved”. At that point in time, that person is “saved” for all time, and can never lose their “salvation”. Is this true? Is salvation really that easy, and guaranteed from that point forward, no matter what?  read more

Is Exposing False Teaching Wrongly Judging?

Is Exposing False Teaching Wrongly Judging?

Is the Bible reliable?
Is Exposing False Teaching Wrongly Judging?
 

“It is God who judges” (Psalm  75:7), ultimately, but is exposing false teaching wrongly judging?

Indeed, “who are you to judge someone else’s servant? To their own master, servants stand or fall, for the Lord is able to make them stand . . . You, then, why do judge your brother or sister? Or why do you treat them with contempt? For we will all stand before God’s judgment seat” (Romans  14:4,10 NIV).

However, in certain areas we are called upon to make judgments, reasonable people will agree. For example: read more

Is the Trinity in Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel?

Is the Trinity in Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel?

Is the Bible reliable?
Is the Trinity in Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel?

It is sometimes said that the Trinity is the main teaching of the scriptures. During a crucial time for God’s people, before and after the destruction of Jerusalem, and thereafter God’s people taken off into exile to the world power of Babylon, God raised up and mightily used his prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel as major prophets for his people then, and for us now. Their recorded prophecies are in books bearing their names in the Bible’s Hebrew-Aramaic Scriptures, the Old Testament, and comprise a total 112 chapters. Naturally, we would expect to see the Trinity doctrine in these very important Bible books if the doctrine is true. No one can rightly say Trinitarians are not very imaginative and creative in their trying to find something in the Bible to support their doctrine. For example: read more
