God Crying Out To God -- Nicene Creed Trinity Lecture Series





"In the days of his flesh, Jesus offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to him who was able to save him from death and he was heard because of his reverence." Hebrews 5:7 English Standard Version [ESV]

"In the days of God's flesh, [God] offered up prayers and supplications, with loud cries and tears, to God who was able to save God from death and God was heard because of God's reverence."  Hebrews 5:7 [ARTD]



The “Trinity” doctrine of Christianity is a theological equation that the God of Abraham is Almighty God, Jesus Christ is Almighty God and the Holy Ghost is Almighty God.  It further posits that the three Divine God Spirits are “co-equal” existing in identical “substance” of the Almighty God of Abraham. Therefore, the three Divine God Spirits are in fact just One Almighty “Triune” God. Trinity Statement of Faith was drafted in the form of the "symbolum"(Latin) of the Roman Catholic Church— Nicene Creed of 381 A.D.  Regardless of the versions of the Nicene Creed, (Latin or Niceno – Constantinopolitan) Hebrews 2:7, cited at the outset,  changes to a mind bending riddle when overlaid with the Trinity "mystery" adopted by the Roman Catholic Church nearly 350 years after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ in 33 C.E.  




The Nicene Creed or formula for the evolution of the 3-1, 1- 3,  “Trinity” God was originally hammered into religious dogma through a minority of 318 Catholic Church “bishops” at the Council of Nicaea in 325 A.D.  This revolutionary or “mystery” doctrine formula signed into liturgical codes was resultant of Roman Empire “imposed settlement” after conflicting views in the Catholic Church about the “essence” of Christ.   Interjecting itself into the formal discussions with the threat of exile for clergy dissenters, the barbaric Roman Empire proclaimed that Jesus Christ was the identical “substance” of the Almighty God whose thunderous "voice" was noted in the Bible (Job 37:2).  Jesus Christ was Almighty God.  Hence, the Nicene Creed was met with internal Church opposition with attempts to overturn the government influenced heresy in 341 A.D. at the First and Second Councils of Antioch.  



Because of such violently bitter discord, the Roman Empire intervened, again, summoning the nominal Church into order for the Council of Constantinople in 381.A.D. A government official, chaired this Christian conference of only 125 Church delegates negotiating the “nature” and “substance” of Jesus the Messiah.  However, under Roman authority, the 381 A.D. Council submitted the addition of “Holy Ghost” to its identical deity “substance” dialogue.  At the end of the 381 A.D. Nicene Creed sessions, 3-1, 1-3 Trinity God Formula, was locked in, resulting in the “Triune” God of “Christendom.  This latent complex “mystery" dogma in 381 A.D. was neither different from the "Triune" - “Triad” Deity Group of the Roman Empire  [Zeus, Apollo, Athena] nor others before in Babylon, Egypt, and Greece.

Notwithstanding its lack of Triad God originality, the 381 A.D. Nicene Creed states in part: 

“We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible.” And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds (aeons), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten and not made, being of one substance with the Father. And in the Holy Ghost, the Lord and giver of life who proceedeth from the Father, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spake by the prophets.

Karl Rahner a prominent Catholic theologian expounds: “The economic Trinity is the imminent Trinity and the imminent Trinity is the economic Trinity" while Augustine admitted that explanation was not within the scope of human language and the “mystery” of the Trinity "must remain unknown" to Christians.  The word “Trinity” itself is unknown to Bible. This is without exception, including the King James Version (1611).  The term “Trinity” cannot be located in any of the 31,102 verses in the King James Version (1611). Nevertheless, the followers of the Christian Trinity must labor with the Nicene Creed passage conversions that defy the inspired logical content and divine context of the Holy Scriptures. [Ouote Source Reference: Wikipedia Article: Trinity Doctrine]

Clearly, the foregoing pronoun substitutions with “God” have illustrated the magnitude of Scriptural conflict with the Trinity doctrine.  But there are numerous passages—even when left in tact—that absolutely reject the pagan sponsored idea of the Almighty God comprised of three “co-equal” Divine Spirits, including the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.      
  

Trinitarian 3-1, 1-3 Formula False Statement:


1.  Jesus Christ is Equal to Almighty God, in Will, Knowledge, and Power (Compare John 11: 40 – 42, John 14:1, John 14:28, 1 Corinthians 15: 21 – 28.  Matthew 24: 36, Revelation 1:1)

2. Jesus Christ Does Not Have A Beginning—Was Never Created; He Is Co-Equal and “Co-Eternal” (Compare Proverbs 2:8, 1Corinthians 15:28, 1John 3:6).  

3. “Holy Ghost” is also Almighty God, “Co-Equal” “Co-Eternal” in Heaven—God #3 in the Trinity or Triad of the 381 A.D. Nicene Creed.   

Compare Acts 7:58 [Stephen Does Not Mention Also Seeing “Holy Ghost”], John 17:22 [Jesus Christ Excluded “Holy Ghost” From the “Oneness” of Unity,] and [John 1:1 “Holy Ghost” not included “In the Beginning” with “God” and the “Word”]


381 A.D. Nicene Creed adherents have long relied on John 1:1, and 1 John 5:7 to support the Trinity, often quoting the Authorized King James Bible (KJV 1611 C.E.). However, John 1:1 has been translated differently in 70 other scholarly translations and versions of the Holy Bible.   Moreover, Greek scholarship has consistently determined that KJV John 1:1 is a poor or inconsistent translation of the New Testament Greek manuscripts that predated the archaic English KJV.  Meanwhile, 1 John 5:7—Comma Johanneum—was not included in the official Roman Catholic Church manuscripts before 800 A.D.  Trinitarian Catholic researchers have universally scrapped 1 John 5:7.  It was determined that the “spurious” passage was fraudulently inserted in the Textus Receptus upon which KJV 1 John 5:7 was based -- 1100 years after the Nicene Creed Trinity was forced into the doctrinal laws of the Roman Catholic Church.

The New Catholic Encyclopedia states: "The formulation 'one God in three Persons' was not solidly established, certainly not fully assimilated into Christian life and its profession of faith, prior to the end of the 4th century. But it is precisely this formulation that has first claim to the title the Trinitarian dogma. Among the Apostolic Fathers, there had been nothing even remotely approaching such a mentality or perspective." - (1967), Vol. XIV, p. 299




God's Divine Name [Hebrew]
Despite scholarly contention with KJV John 1:1 and 1 John 5:7 with numerous different translations, many Christians have held on to belief in the Nicene Creed Trinity.  Perhaps these Christians have not known that Almighty God, has flatly denied being a “Triune” or “Triad” God [Deuteronomy 6:4].   Declaring that there was no other Deity like Himself, Almighty God demanded exclusive worship.  Our Heavenly Creator refused to share glory with other gods, punishing violators with death [Deuteronomy 6: 14 – 15, Exodus 20: 1 – 5, Jeremiah 32: 17 - 21].  Neither did Almighty God want to share His divine name associated with that acclaim, YAHWEH or JEHOVAH (Psalm 83:18, Exodus 3:6 – KJV).  
  


In light of the unchanging character of JEHOVAH, it makes sense that the firstborn of His Creation Jesus Christ, remarked “Why do you call me good?” No one is good except God alone." 

God's Divine Name Greek Septuagint
[Luke 18:19 Matthew 4:10].  Because of the Messiah’s perfect loyalty, vicious Pharisees “looking for ways to kill him” falsely accused Jesus Christ of wanting and/or claiming to be “equal” to Almighty God. John 5:18  [Compare Revelation 12: 9 – 10].


                                  







A diligent closer examination of the Holy Bible reveals that it was actually Satan who wanted to be “co-equal” with Almighty God. Satan mockingly introduced the wicked nascent concept of Trinity or Triad in the Garden of Eden. [Isaiah 14: 12 – 14, 2Thessalonians 2:4].   Satan lied to Eve remarking that humans could be “like God” or in effect “God.” [Genesis 3: 1 – 5, Revelation 12:9].  Adam and Eve had already become “one flesh” in their natural marital relationship.  It was demonic proposition that transformed two human beings into one God with Almighty Jehovah.  Hence, Satan introduced the false doctrine of God Jehovah, God Eve and God Adam--the Eden Trinity or “Triad.”    Satan, never denied the existence of Almighty God in the Garden of Eden, but the liar “from the beginning” [John 8:44] twisted JEHOVAH’s “substance” “essence” and character beyond recognition.   Satan’s diabolical slander was extended to additional Trinity or Triads in ancient Babylon, Egypt, Greece and Rome—followed by Nicene Creed Trinity 381.A.D, becoming the substituted Faith of Roman Catholic, Protestant and Orthodox Christianity.



Satan has long advanced to distort, change, or attempt to destroy God’s written Word, the Holy Bible (Matthew 4:5 – 6).  However, like the One Almighty JEHOVAH who authored it (1Timothy 3:16), that Word cannot be put to death in false doctrinal, teachings or the “utterances of demons.”  In fact, the life saving Holy Bible has warned the Church of such God altering contamination.[Acts 20:29, 30; 1Timothy 4:1, Jude 3:2 and 2Thessalonians 2: 1 – 3].  Accordingly, followers in modern Christendom have been erroneously instructed that a worshiper must remain chained to a mysterious Nicene Creed Trinity that contradicts the Bible which plainly admonishes Christians searching out the Truth of God’s Word:


You believe that God is one, you do well; even the demons believe and shudder!” [James 2:19].  






NICENE CREED TRINITY CHURCH COUNCIL SIDEBARS 

Roman Emperor Constantine summoned the total of 1800 bishops of the nominal or early Christian Church for Nicaea Council resolution involving the controversy involving the “essence”, “substance” and “diety” of Christ.    318 “Bishops” responded to Council roll call on May 20, 325 A.D.   A fraction of only 125 Church “Fathers” finally adopted the “Trinity” doctrine in 381 A.D [Council of Constantinople].  Failure to endorse the religious dogma carried the penalty of government enforced exile and expulsion from the Church.   Five Arian bishops refused to adopt the merging of Jesus Christ with Almighty God.  Arian bishops were those who had formed alliance with ARIUS, the African overseer from the Church of Baucalis [313 A.D.] who would not discontinue promoting uncorrupted monotheism citing John 14:28 and Colossians 1:15.

Secundus (Ptolemais)
Maris (Chalcedon)
Theognis (Nice)
Eusebius (Nicomedia) and
Theonis (Marmarica)

381 A.D. Council of Constantinople passage of the final Trinity Doctrine into ecclesiastical law resulted in Canon 1, affirming the “Faith of the 318 Fathers” and in Canon 5 referring to Arian “heresy” with its requirement of written renouncement from dissenters in order to obtain “sealed” standing with the “Holy Ghost.” 



Arius, the Nubian Christian from the 313 A.D. Church of Baucalius has been joined with a substantial segment of African-American malesA large quantity of U.S. Black men have also rejected the Nicene Creed Trinity--or the altered European Christianity that "whitenend" the Bible. These African-Americans have swarmed to the "One-God" "Nation of Islam" while asserting it was out of darker Egypt that Almighty Jehovah or Yahweh prophetically called His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ. [Hosea 11:1 Compare Matthew 2:15].  For many Blacks in the Nation of Islam, the "Faith of the 318 Fathers" has been categorically linked with deceitful cover-ups and "lies" opined to have been piled in with the false doctrine of the 3-1, 1-3 Nicene Creed Trinity.
