Christians Must Heed Jesus

The Belief in the Trinity That Was Subsequently Added to Christianity in a Number of Stages

• "The Trinity" appears in no sacred text. It appears nowhere, either as a name or a teaching, in the sacred teachings of Christianity – or any other true religion. Christians themselves admit this.
• Belief in the Trinity was fabricated and made part of Christianity in gradual stages. These can be summarized as follows:
  • The idea of the divinity of Jesus was agreed at the Council of Nicaea in 325,
  • Claims regarding the divinity of the Holy Ghost were accepted at the First Council of Constantinople in 381, and
  • The idea that Jesus had two natures, one human and one divine, was agreed at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.
• Although the belief in the Trinity assumed a specific form at the First Council of Constantinople in 381, there was still no agreement regarding the elements of the Trinity and the relationship between them.
• Apart from a reference in the Gospel According to Matthew to baptism "in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit," no sacred text contains a single reference in which the Holy Spirit is mentioned together with the Father and Son, the first two elements of the Trinity.
• Indeed, the Gospel contains no references or indications regarding the divinity of the Holy Spirit. On the contrary, various Christian sources state that the term refers to the angel Gabriel, as also stated in the Koran.
• The term "baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" was added to Matthew 28:18-20 at the end of the Fourth Century in order to establish compatibility with the idea of the Trinity.
• The doctrine of the Trinity, which was made official in the Fourth Century, was added to the text written in the First Century. In this way, this text was made compatible with the order of the council. With these subsequent additions, a text which originally espoused monotheism, was turned into one pointing to the doctrine of the Trinity.
• Just about everyone held a different opinion on the subject. That is why everyone accused everyone else of error, heresy and apostasy. Even people who shared the same belief in the Trinity held different opinions regarding it.
• The Church of St. Peter
  The First Vatican Council, or Vatican I: 800 church leaders were called together by Pope Pius IX on June 29, 1868.
  This council issued the final decision regarding the belief on the Trinity, which was made part of Christian dogma by church councils and for which there is no logical basis: "The Trinity is not a matter of reason and logic. There is no need for you to sit and think about it." In this way, the Trinity was made an article of faith without being understood, and those who refused to believe were excommunicated.
