 BeenBlake comments on the Trinity

I completely agree with you beenblake the trinity is a man made doctrine introduced by the early churches We have to understand the history and background from where this belief came about. The word trinity is not found in the bible. By studying scriptures I have come to believe this that the holy spirit, God, and Jesus are three manifestations of God. Not three "persons" or distinct beings. I recommend reading the entire bible to understand the meaning of this. Jesus is the manifested presence of god in a visible form. Thats why Jesus was refered to as the first born of all creation but at the same time he says he is the alpha and the omega? the beggining and the end? this would seem like a contradiction right? How could God be the first born but at the same time have no begginning? the deity of jesus had no beginning the visible form of Jesus christ did God is spirit and no one has seen God or will ever see him God had to create a visible form where he could be seen In him was the full diety of God I dont mean to offend anyone I have many scriptures to support this if you have any questions feel free to ask Hear oh Israel the lord your God is ONE

your brother in Christ
John

I assume you are referring to the following verse...Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
(Col 1:15)
I believe that if you look closely at the word prōtotokos which is translated 'firstborn', you will see that it has not so much to do with origin as it has to do with primacy of position. In fact, the very same word is used again a few verses later...And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
(Col 1:18)
Now we know that Jesus was not the first ever to be raised from the dead, there are old testament examples and Jesus himself raised men from the dead, so it cannot mean first in regards to origin.

So, no, this does not seem like a contradiction.

In Christ,

Ron
