88) Little Known Facts About the Trinity

This episode is a review and recommendation for the recently printed book: Little Known Facts About the Trinity On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Little-Known-Facts-About-Trinity/dp/B0BN61Z8Z3/ref=sr_1_1?qid=1674745468&refinements=p_27%3AKohl&s=books&sr=1-1 Christians should ask themselves these questions: Why did God never declare from heaven, or through a prophet or apostle, that HE is three persons in one? Why did Jesus never describe that God is "three in one"? Is a Triune God really biblical? Does the Bible say, “The Father is God, the Son is God, the Spirit is God, so God must be Triune”? At 100 pages this well-written book is not a daunting read. The book exhibits substantial research but is not overly academic. The author addresses main “deity of Christ” and Trinitarian claims, points out major interpretation problems and philosophical contradictions of Trinitarian claims and gives alternative (better) explanations of Trinitarian proof texts. The book also explains the post-biblical, non-biblical, often deadly, development of Trinitarian belief. I highly recommend this book. The only adjustment that I suggest be made is to at least mention that another possibility for interpreting John 1 is that John 1 is not describing the Genesis creation. John 1 is introducing the new beginning that God brings about through the man, the Messiah Jesus, who is metaphorically called the Word. As the author of the Book of Hebrews declared, “God…has spoken to us by a son”, and as the Apostle Paul stated in 1 Corinthians 15:21, "For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also came through a man." The new beginning being done by God is through the man Jesus. This book is a call for believers in the God of the Bible to return to the declaration of the Apostle Peter concerning Jesus, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the Living God”.
