THE TRADITIONAL TRINITY – ONENESS PENTECOSTAL DISPUTE CAN BE SOLVED IN THE REVELATION THEORY PART 3
ERRORS OF TRADITIONAL TRINITY THEORY
The traditional trinity theory creates the impression of polytheism among the people. This is causing many people to leave Christianity. The false views of trinity present Christianity more as polytheistic than as monotheistic. This is even motivating many feeble Christians to leave Christian faith, in search of more monotheistic religious faiths. The argument of the traditional Trinity group that the 3 distinct God persons exist without beginning and without end, amounts to polytheism. Such a traditional Trinity theory goes against the Biblical view of God and the plan of God, as written down in the Holy Scriptures.
Traditional trinity problems can be solved and truly consummated only in the revelation theory. According to the revelation theory, there is the true God beyond the trinity revelation of God. Trinity is the temporary revelation of the supreme God person for creation and redemption of mankind.
Christians might have different opinions about the trinity mainly because of their ignorance on the subject. Some may even leave Christian faith because of their ignorance on the true doctrine of trinity. If you want to understand the biblical doctrine of trinity look into the Bible, and not to any Church doctrines.
It is a well-known fact of history that the majority of trinitarians regard non-trinitarians as being ‘something less’ than truly Christian. In other words, trinitarians tend to ‘look down upon’ the non-trinitarians. This is how it has been for centuries and probably will be until Jesus returns.
For many non-Christians, the idea of a three in one God is very confusing perspective. Take, for example, the Jews and Muslims. Both are monotheistic. They claim to believe in “one” God. Most of them won’t even consider believing in a God that exists in “three persons,” because they reason that one plus one plus one, does not equal one God.
We need to define the meaning of terms such as: God, one, person, difference between god person and man person, trinity of God, triunity of man as body mind spirit, generic name of God, proper name of God; Generic names, Common names, Descriptive names, Titles names, Designation names, Proper names. Discussions cannot progress into clarity unless we have some kind of agreement on the definitions of the terms most often used in the discussions.
TRADITIONAL TRINITY SHOULD BE REPLACED WITH REVELATION THEORY. Theophanies are the normal method of God’s dealings with mankind in history. The traditional view of trinity is clearly tri-theistic and structural, and does not fit within the broader Biblical framework of the manifestations of God in various forms and names. Thus, the traditional trinity does not represent the true Biblical perspective of the nature of God and His dealings with mankind.
THE TRUTH THAT GOD IS LOVE DOES NOT PROVE THE TRADITIONAL TRINITY THEORY. God is love. God is self-sufficient, independent and perfect in Himself. Even before all creation God is love, and God is perfect. God created all things, because of his perfection, not because of his imperfection.
Some traditional trinitarians falsely argue that without the eternal trinity structure of God, God cannot be love. They fail to realize that the love of God is not based on the existence of the objects of love. The love of God is the intrinsic nature of god. Internal plurality or trinity cannot be made a precondition for the perfection of God. As the greatest conceivable being, God must be perfect. Now a perfect being must be a perfect loving being intrinsically. For love is a moral perfection; it is better for a person to be loving rather than unloving. The proof of God’s love nature is the love death of Christ on the cross for producing the children of God from His own blood. This is the greatest eternal story of love. God is love from eternity by himself. God also manifested his love by loving OTHERS, OUTSIDE OF HIMSELF THROUGH THE REDEMPTIVE WORK ON THE CROSS. True love reaches out to another person rather than centering wholly in oneself. God does not do anything inside or outside in order to be perfect. God is perfect in Himself. Creation does not add anything to the being of God. The sovereign God did not create the world in order to satisfy any essential need He had.
