In the beginning was the Word - not the interpretation

Why? Why?

Why is the word “Trinity” not written a single time in the Bible?

Why is the term “triune God” not found a single time in the Bible?

Why does the Bible not once speak about God existing in three persons?

Why has no one throughout the Old Testament prayed to a “Father in heaven”?

Why is the term “God the Son” not found a single time, but rather “the Son of God”?

Why is there not a single mention of the expression “God the Holy Spirit” in the Scripture, but rather “The Spirit of God”? Most certainly because God is the point of origin. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God, or is it not?

Why is the word-combination “Lord God” — “Elohim Jahweh” found over six thousand times in the Old Testament, not mentioned a single time in the New Testament from Matthew to the epistle of Jude — except in the citation from the Old Testament in Lk. 1:32 —, but again in the prophetic book, the Revelation? In the Old Testament the Lord is God. In the New Testament we read, “And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.” (1. Cor. 6:14).

Why do we find in the letters of the apostles “God” to be the Father and“the Lord” to be emphasised as the Son? Most certainly because God became our Father through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Why does it say with the view of the birth of the Son, “… and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father …” (Isa. 9:5+6), but not a single time “everlasting Son”?

Why do we not find a single place in the Bible during the span of the Old Testament where the Father would have spoken to the Son? Most certainly because God as Father had not yet manifested Himself in the Son!

Why does the Holy Scripture not mention a single time that God as Father has begotten the Son in eternity? Most certainly because it did not happen! The birth of the Son was announced throughout the Old Testament and happened at the beginning of the New Testament! That is divine biblical truth! Therefore we find no place in the Bible speaking about the pre-existence of the Son.

Why are we commanded to pray, “Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name …”? Why do we pray, “Heavenly Father”, but never, “Heavenly Son”? Undoubtedly because there exists no heavenly Son.

Why did the Lord God only swear by Himself, “By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord” (Gen. 22:16; Ps. 89:35; Am. 6:8; Heb. 6:13 a. o.)? Most certainly because there were no other divine persons besides Him!

Where does it state in the Bible, “The Father is eternal, the Son is eternal and the Holy Spirit is eternal”? Nowhere, of course. How could something be written in the Word of Truth that is not true? It is absolutely impossible.

Why do we not find a single time in the Bible the term “Glory be to God the Father, to God the Son and to God the Holy Spirit”? The Amen must not follow here, because it means “So be it”, and so it is not!

Why is the term “Creator-Father” not written in the Bible? What has the Father to do with creation and what the Creator with begotten sons and daughters? In respect to the creation God is the Creator, to His sons and daughters God is Father.

Why did no prophet in the Old Testament or apostle in the New Testament read into the text of Gen. 1:26-28, “Let us make man in our own image …”, a plurality of persons in the Godhead? Because they were under the direct guidance of the Holy Spirit.

Why has no apostle misunderstood the commission given in Mt. 28 and blindly recited the text, but clearly understood and faithfully administered the baptism directly into the New Testament covenant name in which God has manifested Himself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit? For the name into which they were to baptise was revealed unto them.

Therefore, in the original Christianity and up to the end of the second century the believers were correctly baptised in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 2:38; Acts 8:16; Acts 10:48; Acts 19:5; Rom. 6:3 a. o.), in accordance with the great commission, and not a single time in a triune formula.

It might surprise the readers that the triune formula is being used for all kinds of things, wherever falsified Christendom exists: To foretell the future, to read the lines on palms, to let the table float into the air by the medium in spiritualistic sessions, for all kinds of sorcery, magic practices and occultism, even when taking the oath for entering a religious order. The vow of allegiance in the free-masons’ lodge must also be recited by everyone, even by Jews, in the “name of the Father, of the Son and of the Holy Ghost”.

No one is permitted to indifferently disregard the fact that not a single prayer, not one act happened in the triune formula during Bible days! “Examine all things” is a command for all of us and applies most certainly for all Christians in regards to the unscriptural practice! What is supposed to be valid? The Word of God or church tradition? Is the Bible right or the argumentation?

In view of all the changes, the interpretations and the falsifications we have to ask: Why do preachers, evangelists and Bible teachers, who carry God’s Word in their mouths, blindly and with much enthusiasm hand down and defend unbiblical teaching traditions?

Hopefully all readers, after the deviations from God’s Word have been brought to the surface, will have the grace in all aspects to make the right decision while they place things opposite one another. There is no other way: Everything and everyone must stand before God’s judgement now. The warning must be given now, it cannot wait until it is too late.

All points listed with the “Why” must be looked upon in the light of God’s Word. There is no room for any argumentation. With arguments the enemy has fooled the believers long enough. Now only the main question remains: What is the truth about the Trinity? The truth is that it did not exist in eternity, not during the course of time and will not exist in eternity!

With all sincerity we also must ask: Why does the Scripture not know the “Jesus Only Doctrine”? Because it is unscriptural. How could the Son Who was begotten be His Own Father? How could He have prayed to Himself, etc.? The voice from heaven said, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” (Mt. 3:17; 17:5). Only whosoever confesses Jesus Christ as the only begotten Son has eternal life (Jn. 3:36). “And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” (Jn. 17:3). As blasphemous as the “three-person-doctrine” is, so wrong is also the “Jesus-Only-teaching”. The all-sufficient Word of God which contains the true testimony and wherein God’s manifold revelations are shown forth is for ever valid. In the New Testament God revealed Himself as Father in heaven above us, in the Son on earth with us, and through the Holy Spirit in us. It is the incomprehensible, unexplainable mystery of God of which the Apostle Paul writes, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” (1. Tim. 3:16). When God brings His plan of salvation with all His sons and daughters to completion, as determined before the foundation of the world, the manifestation of the Son will merge into God of Whom He came forth, and then will be fulfilled, “And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.” (1. Cor. 15:28). Oh, what a depth of the blessed mystery: God in Christ and Christ in us — the hope of Glory!

All promises given throughout the Old Testament in reference to the coming of the Son, starting with Gen. 3:15 up to Mal. 3:1, were fulfilled at the beginning of the New Testament. Or is somebody going to deny this?

Fulfilled was 2. Sam. 7:14, “I will be his father, and he shall be my son …” (Heb. 1:5a).

Fulfilled was Psalms 2:7, “Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee” (Heb. 1:5b).

Fulfilled was also, “But thou art he that took me out of the womb … I was cast upon thee from the womb” (Ps. 22:9-10).

Fulfilled was also Ps. 89:26-27, “He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation. Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.”

Fulfilled was also Isa. 7:14, “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”

The announcement about His birth was made, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS …” (Mt. 1:21; Lk. 1:31).

“For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Lk. 2:11). Mic. 5:1-2 was fulfilled and the Saviour was born in Bethlehem (Mt. 2:1).

Altogether at the first coming of Christ 109 prophecies were fulfilled. But the scribes who taught God’s Word did not see it at all. They remained in their own interpretations and expectations. On the other hand they were eagerly waiting for the coming of the Messiah and nourished this hope within the people, but did not know Him when He came. In fact, He came to His Own and His Own received Him not (Jn. 1). The teachers of His day contradicted Him at every given opportunity. All their sacrifices, their singing of Psalms, the whole religious services were in vain. Could it be the case, that with the majority of believers in respect to the return of Christ the same would repeat itself? It looks very much that way.

The Lord Himself points us to revelation, without it no one, absolutely no one, whoever he may be — and God makes no exceptions —, can understand this great mystery of God in Christ. Therefore it is written, “All things are delivered unto me of my Father; and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” (Mt. 11:27). As He did back then, He now wishes to reveal it to His Own, “And he turned him unto his disciples, and said privately, Blessed are the eyes which see the things that ye see” (Lk. 10:23). No study is sufficient, it takes a divine revelation to know the mystery of God in Christ and also to understand all the mysteries of the kingdom of God. Everything the Apostle Paul had studied he called “for loss” (Phil. 3). His desire was to know Christ in the power of His resurrection, as expressed in the same chapter. After he was placed into the ministry and had received this divine revelation, he could write, “Whereby, when ye read, ye may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ.” (Eph. 3:4).

The same must be experienced by all true servants of God called to the ministry. No offence, but even the term “to study theology”, which actually means “to study God”, is, of course, too far-fetched. What are we going to study about God? From the beginning God has revealed Himself to His Own — and He wants to reveal Himself to each one of us.
