Major Problems with the Trinity 1. The One True God is Identified in the Bible as a singular I, Me, He, Him and Who. In Hebrew, Greek, or English, the very purpose of singular personal prounouns is to signify a person is being identified. However, Trinitarians must resort to outright denial of this plain and obvious fact and insist rather that the one true God is three plural persons rather than one singular person. And because the one true God identifies himself with singular personal pronouns (see examples below) they must further insist that the one true God of the Bible is a singular I, Me, He, Him and Who not because God is one person but because the one true God is one being. To you it was shown that you might know that YAHWEH, HE is God and there is no other besides HIM. (Deuteronomy 4:35; see Mark 12:32). I, I am HE, And there is no God besides ME. (Deuteronomy 32:9). Thus says YAHWEH, your Redeemer, and The One who formed you from the womb, I, YAHWEH, am the maker of all things, stretching out the heavens by MYSELF And spreading out the earth all alone. (Isaiah 44:24). While singular personal pronouns have the express purpose of signifying and identifying a single person, Trinitarians must deny this fact and insist rather the above verses do not refer to a single person. HOWEVER, in total contradiction to these claims, Trinitarians also insist that one much conclude that the Holy Spirit is indeed one distinct third PERSON because singular personal pronouns are used of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit has the attributes of a PERSON and while both of these things are true of the one true God which they hypocritically deny is one person. 2. The Identity of Jesus One and Only God was not a Triune God Jesus had a God. Jesus still has a God. Jesus one and only God was his Father alone. For Jesus, the one and only God was the Father alone and he alone was Jesus God. Trinitarians do not have the same God as Jesus. A one person God is not the same God as a three person God and God the Father is not by himself a distinct God in Trinitarian doctrine but only one hypostasis/person of the Triune God. Yet, this one person is was, and is, indeed for Jesus the one true God. Hence, Jesus one true God is not the same God as the God of Trinitarians. My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? (Matthew 27:46). I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. (John 20:17). He who conquers, I will make him a pillar in the temple of my God and never shall he go out of it, and I will write on him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, the new Jerusalem which comes down from my God out of heaven, and my own new name. Revelation 3:12. 3. Jesus Identifies Our God for Us and it is not a Triune God. Jesus never indicates he is our God or that three persons are our God. Jesus tells us who our God is and our God turns out to be the same God as his God: his Father. I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. (John 20:17). Father.... this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. (John 17:3). And one of the scribes came up and heard them disputing with one another, and seeing that he answered them well, asked him, Which commandment is the first of all? Jesus answered, The first is, Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one, and you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this, You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said to him, You are right, Teacher; you have truly said that HE is one, and there is no other but HE and to love HIM with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the strength, and to love ones neighbor as oneself, is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, You are not far from the kingdom of God. (Mark 12::28-34). Who did Jesus and this Jewish scribe have in mind? What one God were these two men talking about? Who was the one God of these two Jewish men? Jesus makes it quite clear that our God is his God, the same God as his God. Keep in mind that Trinitarians insist they do not believe in three Gods. This necessarily means that there is no such thing for them as the Father being a God all by Himself. Hence, the Father is not a God but only one hypostasis (person) of the one God. But for Jesus, his Father was indeed a God, his God, and the only true God.-angelfire/space/thegospeltruth/trinity/articles/MajorProblems.html
