I think one of the problems that they have with the Trinity is that they just can’t conceive of a being that complex. They want God in a nice, neat little box of their own construct. So they make God a single being and Jesus a god and thereby making God a liar but themselves comfortable.
Not at all. If the Trinity were true, the Lord Jesus Christ would have taught it, or his apostles would have explained it. They never even used the word. And to say that the concept exists in the Scriptures is flat wrong.
Human philosophers have attempted to invalidate the Word of God by introducing neo-Platonic concepts like the Trinity, the wisdom of the Greeks that God considers to be foolishness. (1 Corinthians 1:20-25) God nowhere says that He is three-in-one, or three persons in one God.
If the belief that there are three Gods, all equal in every respect, is not polytheism, then the term has no meaning at all. To say that these three Gods constitute one God, is a fiction that is taught nowhere in the Scriptures.
“For to us [Christians], there is one God, the Father.” (1 Corinthians 8:6) God is identified as One, and that One is the Father, not Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
In prayer, the Lord Jesus Christ specifically called the Father “the only true God.” (John 17:3) He did not say ‘You, I, and the Holy Spirit are the only true God.’
It is not those who believe in biblical Monotheism who attempt to make liars of God.
