The Trinity Doctrine: Definition and Origins
SPECIAL NOTE / DISCLAIMER
Heaven's Truths Are Being Restored And Revealed To US.
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. John 4:23
In our examination of false doctrines including the 'Trinity” with its 'Triune G-d', Pre-existent and Pre-incarnate Christ and heaven above as the believer's destination etc., it is evident that Satan has orchestrated and sustained this whole plan of deception/apostasy and while it has been known to scholars for centuries, the vast majority of Christianity remains ignorant of it and has been deliberately kept in the dark about it.
These changes to the original Gospel of the Kingdom, are no doubt part of the fulfillment of the warning / prophesies of the Apostles John and Paul.
John said - For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Yahushua Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist. 2 John 1:7
Paul said - Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away [from the truth] first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition. 2 Thess. 2:3
Yahuwah promises increasing light to truth seekers.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to Yahuwah must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6
Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart. Psalm 119:2
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. Matthew 7:8
If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine... John 7:17
But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. Proverbs 4:18
As these studies are pursued, be ever mindful of the fact that Yahuwah is patient and merciful, not willing that any should perish.
Yahuwah is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9
Yahuwah doesn’t hold men accountable for things in which they are sincerely ignorant.
He knows the heart and meets everyone at their level of understanding. When He reveals His truth and light, the receiving individual then becomes responsible to respond, believe and live accordingly:
And the times of this ignorance Yahuwah winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:30
[When a person is honestly and sincerely mistaken and they hear the truth they will either quit being mistaken or cease to be honest and sincere.]
Offense comes and accountability is required only when light sent by Yahuwah is deliberately rejected.
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. James 4:17
Conclusion:
And the times of this ignorance Yahuwah winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent: Acts 17:30
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear Yahuwah, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13

The doctrine of a triune godhead comes from ancient paganism, not Scripture. The acceptance of this heresy created a thought environment in which a belief in the pre-existence of the Saviour became a “natural conclusion.” |
The earliest Christians, like the Jews before them, were monotheistic in the purest sense of the word. This means that they believed in a single, eternally self-existing Yahuwah [Creator-G-d]. The nature of this all-powerful deity was explained by Moses: “Hear, O Israel: Yahuwah our Eloah, Yahuwah is one!” (Deuteronomy 6:4, NKJV [adapted])
None of the New Testament writers, none of the apostles, and none of the earliest followers of Yahushua [Christians] believed in a triune godhead consisting of a “G-d the Father,” an equally co-existing pre-existent “G-d the Son,” and a disembodied third person of the g-dhead, namely: “G-d the Holy Spirit.” as found in the definition of the 'trinity' doctrine.
Definition of the Trinity Doctrine
The Trinity doctrine basically says that there is one Deity. The Father is Eloah, the Son is Eloah, and the Holy Spirit is Eloah. Hence, you get Eloah the Father, Eloah the Son, and Eloah the Holy Spirit. Three persons, but not three beings, but they jointly make up one Eloah. But each of the three is not the other. However, each is co-equal, co-eternal, and co-powerful. Eloah, in essence, is perceived as an entity made up of three personalities.
WLC DISCLAIMER: WLC does NOT believe in, uphold, or teach the TRINITY doctrine as being Bible truth, but attempts only to explain its definition here ore elsewhere in our content.
It was only later, as 'Christianity' became corrupted by amalgamation with paganism, and highly influenced by Greek Philosophy, that the idea of three eternally co-existing entities operating in unity as “one G-dhead” became widely accepted. This was a paradigm shift in thought but today, the doctrine of the false trinity [with its attendant pre-existent Christ [Yahushua] is considered one of the bedrock beliefs of Christianity. The acceptance of these pagan beliefs created an entirely new theological environment—one which had unforeseen ripple effects. [More details in later lessons]
Faulty assumptions
Many Christians today, and it may very well be the majority, view [Yahushua] the Messiah/Christ/ as “G-d incarnate in human flesh,” meaning that He pre-existed before His conception in Mary's womb. It is very sad to find that 'Christianity' has adopted such pagan myths as employed in the false doctrines of a Trinity and pre-existent, preincarnate Yahushua rather than adhering to the scriptures.
What these same 'Christians' do not realize, is that the idea of a pre-existent Christ of the false 'trinity' is not found anywhere in Scripture. However, there are over 100 Bible verses and phrases that are frequently quoted in support of this false doctrine, but careful study of the texts shows that this is an incorrect use of these passages.
The Doctrines of the Trinity and Pre-Existenct, Preincarnate Yahushua are Inseparable
It is important to note carefully, that the trinity doctrine cannot stand on its own, for without a pre-existent Yahushua, [G-d incarnated as the Son], Yahuwah [G-d the Father] MUST have been ALONE from the 'beginning'. Therefore, trinity adherents do not have the luxury of choice to hold to just one of these two false doctrines while rejecting the other. This, in spite of the blatant lack of any supporting evidence in scripture of these two heresies! In this regard, it becomes a 'double' evil emanating from the devil, all to the detriment of many unsuspecting souls.
The Crucial Importance of Why What we believe IS a Salvational Matter
...man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yahuwah doth man live. Deuteronomy 8:3
“Live” here must of necessity include living forever, having eternal life.”
The Pagan Trinity with its pre-existent, incarnate Christ [Yahushua] is NOT - 'the WORD that proceedeth out of the mouth of Yahuwah!
Modern Christianity – which is equivalent to the word of Yahuwah being literally BURIED and HIDDEN in the obscurity of Greek Philosophy, is no doubt a part of the fulfillment of Amos 8:11-12.
Behold, the days come, saith Yahuwah, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahuwah: And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of Yahuwah, and shall not find it. Amos 8:11-12.
See also: New American Standard Bible(NASB) 2 Thessalonians 2:3
It cannot be over emphasized that the combination of errors including the false Trinity, G-d incarnate Christ & the Pre-Existence of Christ [Yahushua] universally taught by modern 'Platonic Christianity', has grave personal, eternal implications and consequences for all who hold to it! The reason is that one cannot enter the kingdom of Yahuwah without 'KNOWING' the Father and the Son including Who They really are!.
This 'knowing' cannot be accomplished without the proper identification of:
[a] The eternal Father Yahuwah [the one and only Deity - Deuteronomy 6:4, The Shema]
[b] His first begotten Son Yahushua [100% human, beginning when conceived in Mary's womb - Psalm 8:5; Philippians 2:8]
The Shema:
[Shema (Hebrew: “Hear”): the Jewish confession of faith made up of three scriptural texts (Deuteronomy 6:4–9, 11:13–21; Numbers 15:37–41), which, together with appropriate prayers, forms an integral part of the evening and morning services.]
The Father and son are two separate entities as well as two individual beings.
This is in light of WHAT constitutes ETERNAL LIFE as stated by Yahushua Who is Himself, the only WAY into the kingdom of Yahuwah..
This is what He says about it: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee [a] the only true G-d Yahuwah, AND [b] Yahushua Christ [your Anointed], whom thou hast sent. John 17:3. [emphases ours]
