As it says in yesterday’s post, The Trinity Is a Roadblock to Understanding Christ. Move beyond the trinity concept and seek Christ our Lord. The Trinity presents God as three persons. God is only one person. Jesus of Nazareth was God … Continue reading
The Trinity Is a Roadblock to Understanding Christ
If you embrace the idea of the Trinity, you set up a roadblock to greater understanding of Christ. God is one. God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself. Salvation of the soul is found in obeying Christ. No … Continue reading
The Trinity Misses the Passing of the Torch from Father to Son
The New Testament heralds and chronicles the passing of the torch from the Father to the Son. Read and see that all things that are the Father’s are passed to the Son. The Son is the heir of all things … Continue reading
