“A Trustworthy Trinity”

Thursday, August 29, 2013

Is it possible that the Christian Trinity can be of ancient paganism?  I was reading some articles of Christian churches, sects, and organizations that deny the Trinity (like the Oneness Pentecostals, the Swedenborgians, the Christadelphians, Mormonism, Christian Science, the Bible Students, The Way International, the Unitarian Christians, and the Arian Catholics, just to name a few).  The Jehovah's Witnesses say that the Trinity is of paganism.  But the trinitarian groups, like Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodox Church, Protestantism, and the Seventh-Day Adventists, claim that it's not pagan.

Sincerely,

Dear Pagan Ponderer,

If the Trinity is from paganism, then so is the Bible.  The three members of the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) are seen throughout the Bible.  Jhn 1:1 points out the deity of Christ.  Gen. 1:2 shows the eternal nature of the Holy Spirit, and Lk. 3:21-22 shows all three Deity working independently of each other.  Those verses are just a few of the many, many verses that point out that God has three parts.  In short, those who deny the Trinity – deny the authenticity of the Bible.  Either God wrote the Bible, or He didn’t.  We either accept it all or throw it all out.  We here at AYP believe that every word of the Bible is inspired by God and profitable for use (2 Tim 3:16).  We recommend you read “Who Wrote The Bible?” for further details on Bible evidences.
