These are but some reasons why I’m not inclined to believe
in the Trinity doctrine any time soon over the Judaeo-
Islamic uni-personal Godhead and feel that Christianity’s
additional persons in Godhead are rather un-necessary and
un-warranted. Though Christians do still attest to believing
in One God, for which we can appreciate them, still; those
extra persons stand as a deviation from centuries long
prophetic tradition and subsequently, air confusion in the
minds of truth seekers, aiding only toward doubt and
disbelief. It is of vital importance that we come to unanimity
on this fundamental concept, because if we can’t arrive at
common terms on God; there basically remains very little to
agree upon. Herein I’ve given my personal opinion and
everyone is entitled to believe what they feel is believe-
worthy, but take a moment to reflect upon the Trinity
doctrine and if you are really a truth seeker, as all ought be;
then you, like me, would find little room for a doctrine so
remote from reason and strayed from Scripture. After all, its
not because water exists in three different states that
Christians believe the Trinity, its because you think the idea
is firmly rooted in God revealed Scriptures wherein true
guidance lays. But the late great New Testament scholar,
William Barclay, suggests otherwise: “No where does the
New Testament identify Jesus with God” [A Spiritual
Autobiography]. And if the NT is empty of any positive
admission of Christ’s[p] Divinity then what has one to say
regarding the Old Testament? Yes there is mystery to God
but when mystery partners in-consistency, it no longer
remains thus. I do hope my words haven’t been of any
offense, and I apologize if they be, but I, as a guy who
believes in Christ Jesus[p] as God’s final Messenger to
Israel, one born of a virgin named Mary[p] and a sinless son
(servant) who lived perfectly by God’s will; find it
disturbing when our Christian brethren step beyond
Biblical bounds into conjuring out a mythically marvelous
character whom Jesus[p] never played.
