Greetings,
First we want to thank you for you are an answer to our prayers.
Myself being an ordained minister of both the Mennonite church and also ordained in a non-denominational Christian church I have been a proponent of the Trinity Doctrine for many years and even wrote a doctrinal thesis concerning the Trinity for my ordination. Years later after having been excommunicated from several churches for saying and showing things of Scripture which did not agree with the churches doctrine we found ourselves determined to be taught by God and not men. We embraced the scripture which says, the annointing will teach you all things and you have no need for any man to teach you (1 John 2:27).
God began to show us all the things in our doctrine which were not correct. The first thing was the doctrine of the trinity. When He first started to show us scriptures we got very angry and tried to resist His teaching, but line came upon line and precept upon precept until we knew without a doubt that there is one God – the Father and one Son – the Man Christ Jesus. Reading the scriptures became so much easier without trying to figure out who was who, who did what and who said what.. then most of the mystery disappeared.
We had accumulated many scriptures (shown below) but whenever we tried to discuss these things we were met with anger or called heretics. So we prayed and asked God if we were out in left field or if there were others like us. He answered by showing us your website! We are glad to feel we are ok and not alone. I have included our information below to add to yours as we have added your infromation to ours!
Thanks again and God bless you all,
Ministermark

Quote (Mercy @ Sep. 08 2006,13:48) I once believed the trinity doctrine myself. Then I seriously looked into the evidence. The things T8 is saying is the exact information I discovered.
We all agree here, I think, that the scriptures must supersede the authority of tradition and teachings of men.
I no doubt believe that the trinitarians on this forum are God fearing and sincere Christians.
I also realize that all of us are fully capable of simply being wrong by not properly applying and weighing the evidence before us. I myself am probably wrong on several beliefs, yet, if and when ever I discover an error I know I must yield my former position.
When I honestly look at the evidence with all pride and fear of men removed from my thoughts then I cannot help but see very clearly the deceptive teaching of the Trinity.
We all love God and therefor defend what we believe to be the truths about him. So I do not judge trinitarians at all in that regard. The vast majority of my christian friends are trinitarians.
But, I cannot help but yearn for them to see what I see and I wish the same for you. With respect, grace, sincerity and all humbleness.
While I appreciate your concerns, this discussion has done nothing except strengthen my resolve that Jesus is God along with His Father and the Holy Spirit.I know how God favours His Son. I would far rather be accused by the Father for thinking too highly of His beloved Son than thinking too little of Him!
Hi Oxy,
If they are ridiculous
it is only in the light that derivations
from what you say you believe
show that the basic principle you are usingis ridiculous.
Hi Oxy,
You quote John
“Joh 1:11 He came to His own, and His own received Him not.
Joh 1:12 But as many as received Him, He gave to them authority to become the children of God, to those who believe on His name,
Joh 1:13 who were born, not of bloods, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but were born of God.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. And we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and of truth.”So he came, as the Son of God, to enable us too to become sons of God.
He was not that God that he served in this way.Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 08 2006,21:45) Hi Oxy,

whatever.Nick, at least Oxy does not deny that we should call Jesus God. Even though I disagree with his stand on the trinity, for I believe the Son was begotten of the Father in the beginning, even before creation, and that the Father made him God, and by the Son and through the Son by the will of the Father, all of creation came into begin by the unction of the Holy Spirit, I believe Oxy's stand is stronger in the faith then that of yours. For he does not deny God, who is Chirst Jesus. For none can come to the Father, but through the Son. Yet, there will come a time once all things have been subdued that the Son will relinquish his authority of the Godhead unto the Father so the that Father will be all in all. For there is only one God.
Quote (Oxy @ Sep. 08 2006,21:41) What's your point Nick? Both questions seem a little ridiculous.
Hi Oxy,
If you find ridiculous
the thought of being in Christ
as the branch is in the vine,
then you have not grasped
the meaning of the Son of God
coming to earth to save us yet.Quote (Ministermark @ Sep. 09 2006,11:19) Greetings, First we want to thank you for you are an answer to our prayers.

One God: the Father & One Man: Christ Jesus
Welcome Ministermark.Thanks for sharing that. It is good to see that you rose above the fear of man and gave God and his truth the respect that it deserves. I hope that we can share together in the spirit of truth from hence forth.
I take it that you believe that Jesus is and was the Word of God that was with God in the beginning and that he emptied himself of his former glory and came in the flesh, he died for our sins, was resurrected, and is at the right-hand of the majesty on high.
I usually ask this as we get so many types coming here. Trinitarian, Unitarians, JWs, Christadephians, etc.
We are trying to call people from out of these, to be set free to serve in spirit and truth.
God bless.

Hello H.I.C.I.T.C, Really I think we are arguing at cross purposes at times, as I read through the various posts.In fact, unless I have missed something somewhere, I don't think Nick or t8 have any problem referring to Christ as God. Nick and t8 , please correct me if I have got it wrong.
What they are challenging, as with myself, is the belief that Christ is Almighty God; in other words Yahweh. I have just recently listened to a CD by Charles Swindoll and he strongly insists that Christ is Yahweh, using such references as John 8:58 (among others) to support his contention.
In spite of what he makes of John 8:58, where he is totally and absolutely incorrect, the Scriptures do not teach that Christ is Yahweh. Christ is the Son of God, the Messiah spoken of extensively throughout the Old Testament. He is not Almighty God.
But as Nick has pointed out, he is referred to as a God. Why because his Father, the Almighty God, has made Him be a God to us, in exactly the same way he made Moses be God (Elohim) to Pharoah of Egypt. Exodus 7:1 reads (KJV)“And the LORD (Yahweh) said unto Moses, See, I have made thee a god (elohim) to Pharoah: and Aaron thy brother shall be thy prophet”
Compare also with Exodus 4:16.
So yes, whilst I contest trinitarian theology, I stand with Thomas when he said to Christ “My Lord and my God” but I see a vast difference between this and saying “My Lord and my Almighty God” as trinitarian theology urges.
Thus I think it is important in this dicussion Forum to understand what is being contested. It is not the fact that Jesus is referred to as God, but rather as Almighty God.
Scripture is quite clear, if you carefully compare Scripture with Scripture, and allow it to be its own interpreter, that Christ is not Almighty God. He is not Yahweh. It may well be right to refer to Christ as the Mighty God as we read in Isaiah 9:6 but certainly not as Almighty God. As an aside, it is interesting to read what other translators and commentators have said about Isaiah 9:6, where it speaks of Christ as the Mighty God and everlasting Father – seems the KJV translators didn't quite get it right.
Christ made known who the only true God was, and said,
“This is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (John 17:3)The only “true” God is Yahweh, the Father, the Almighty God and His son is Jesus Christ.
Can anything be clearer? It is essential that we get this sorted out, because Christ said, 'eternal life' is bound up in understanding this consideration.
Perhaps the catch cry of Elijah is very relevant, if I may paraphrase:
“How long halt ye between two opinions? if the LORD be God, follow him: but if the trinity be God, then follow such. And the people answered him not a word. (1 Kings 18:21)
As for me, I will follow the LORD; Yahweh, and do Him honor, and glorify His name, by falling into line behind His son; like He instructed, whom He has appointed heir of all things (Hebrews 1:2)
Incidently, no one has ever explained to me how Christ can be the heir of all things, and also be the benefactor?
Peace be with you.

A good post Elidad.Quote (Elidad @ Sep. 09 2006,07:58) Quote It should also be noted that the trinity doctrine is a mainstream doctrine and held as truth by the absolute vast majority of Christians across almost all the creditable denominations, not just the catholics. Hi Is 1:18,
Did Jesus, go along with “popular opinion” during the time of his ministry?
I have just noticed on the WEB that mainstream Churches are increasingly accepting and supporting the “theory” of Evolution as fact; some 10,000 ministers having signed a petition to this effect. Go here to read about it: http://www.butler.edu/clergyproject/religion_science_collaboration.htm
Would you also advocate that we should now throw out the Genesis account of Creation, because an increasing number of mainstream churches think Evolution is the truth of the matter?
Cheers
Elidad
Good point Elidad.Perhaps someone could make a heap of money by writing a book titled:
The Trinity created everything through Evolution.The biggest support for such a theme would be that it is mainstream.
He he.
Oxy, I am still waiting for your explanation as to why the trinity doctrine that you promote, directly breaks hundreds of scriptures.
How do you explain away that fact that the word “God” replaced with the word “Trinity” nullifies the word of God?
Do you just ignore this fact? Or do you have a reason. I await your reason, but if I do not get one, then I can only conclude that you choose to remain ignorant.
Dear Elidad,
I agree with t8 that your post was well written. Thank you for sharing it brother, but I don't agree with all of it. The part where you said that t8 and Nick believe that Jesus is God, but not Father God I am not sure is correct. I believe t8 believes this, but Nick I do not. Nick has led me to believe that he does not believe Jesus is God. And I believe this is his stand. This is denying Christ. For to deny the Son is to deny the Father. None, no, not one will be able to come unto the Father, but through the Son. For the Father and the Son are one.
The Father begat the Son in the beginning, giving him all the authority of the Godhead, making the Son God of all creation. All things were made by the Son and through the Son by the will of the Father through the untion of the Holy Spirit.
I have seen no proof that Nick believes that Jesus Christ, the Son of God, is God. Yet, he is not God Almighty, he is the Word made God. The Word is the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning, and the end, the first and the last.
Quote Perhaps someone could make a heap of money by writing a book titled:
The Trinity created everything through Evolution.LOL. I bet it would be a best seller. The world will believe a lie before it will the Word of God. That is a good point t8. I believe the trinity doctrine is definitely the foundation for the evolution beliefs. I believe it was the start that led to it.
By corrupting God's Word, you can make man believe anything.

Hello Elidad,
