Say not "Trinity"
Early Christians had no such concept.

Maseeh means Messiah.

Actually, it did.

John 1:1 says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God."

Then he continues by saying that the Word was with God and the Word was God.

The same was in the beginning with God and by Him were all things made that were made.

After a short series of passages on John the aptist, we see in verse 14 the "The Word became flesh and dwellt among us."

Now, if the Word was God, was with God, and made all things, the Word is absolutely God.

If the Word became a man and dwelled with us, then God became a man.

You don't have to believe it, but don't tell me that the church never taught that Christ Jesus was one with the Father.

In fact, I consider the Gospel According to John to tbe the New Testament's "Genensis", soley on the fact that they both begin with "In the Beginning.

Also, in Genesis, we see that "And God said, let US make man in OUR image."

This ties in with the Trinity, especially in light of the verses in John 1 where we see that the Word was with God, and tha He was God. The best part is that He came unto His own. The Word (God) became flesh and dwelled among us.

Try again.
