Thank you for your response!Guestman said:Those who are called must be "holy", having rejected the Creeds of the Churches. These include the Trinity, for the Trinity is a pagan doctrine that was absorbed originally from ancient Babylon. In ancient Babylon, there was the triune of Aner (representing heaven), Bel (representing the region inhabited by man, animals and birds), and Ea (represented by terrestrial and subterrestrial waters), as well as of Sin, the moon-god, Shamash, the sun-god, and Ramman, god of storm (although his place was often by Ishtar, queen of the stars).
Jesus clearly showed that he is not part of a trinity, saying to his eleven faithful apostles: "You heard that I said to you, ‘I am going away and I am coming back to you.’ If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, for the Father is greater than I am."(John 14:28) And at 1 Corinthians 11, the apostle Paul wrote that "I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn, the head of a woman is the man; in turn, the head of the Christ is God."(1 Cor 11:3)
And Jesus , in speaking with the Jews, said: "If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or (a conjunction that separates God from Jesus) I speak of my own originality."(John 7:17) And over at John 8, Jesus again says to the Jews: "After you have lifted up the Son of man, then you will know that I am he and that I do nothing of my own initiative; but just as the Father taught me, I speak these things. And the One (Jehovah God) who sent me is with me; he did not abandon me to myself, because I always do the things pleasing to him (not me).”(John 8:28, 29)
And in the Hebrew Scriptures, at Isaiah 45, it says: "I am Jehovah, and there is no one else. There is no God except me...... Who foretold this long ago And declared it from times past ? Is it not I, Jehovah ? There is no other God but me; A righteous God and a Savior, there is none besides me."(Isa 45:5, 21)
The apostle Paul wrote that Jesus is "is the image (not God himself) of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."(Col 1:15) Thus, Jesus was created, having a beginning , for he said in Revelation: "To the angel of the congregation in La·o·di·ce′a write: These are the things that the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God."(Rev 3:14)
Hence, any who accept the Trinity is rejected by God.
I initially wrote a lengthy reply explaining the Creeds, and etc., however may appear I know something - I know nothing but the Godman Christ crucified.
Encourage you to relook at the Creeds again as they are subordinate summaries of correct belief bringing us together, ie, not apart?
