The doctrine of Trinity did not exist until at least three hundred years after the crucifixion of Jesus. Even more shocking is the fact that the concept of a triune godhead likely comes from the traditions of paganism!
THINGS WERE MADE THROUGH HIM
The gospel of the Apostle John tells us that All things were made THROUGH him, (Jesus) and without him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:3) The majority of translations use the word through, which is wrongly translated in the original King James Bible as all things were made by him. If all things were made through him, this indicates that he was carrying out orders that had been delegated by a higher authority. Jesus acted as Jehovah's agency and is the one who dealt directly with mankind in the Old Testament.
JESUS IS THE ARM OF JEHOVAH
There are numerous scriptures that speak of Jehovah's Holy arm. When one examines the context of these verses it becomes clear that this arm is Jesus Christ. In speaking of the coming redeemer, therefore his own arm brought salvation FOR him. (Isaiah 59:16) The Lord has made bare his Holy arm in the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see his salvation. (Isaiah 52:10) Behold, the Lord God shall come with a strong hand, and his arm shall rule over them. (Isaiah 40:10) And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? (John 12:38) and (Isaiah 53:1) Jesus serves as the General of Jehovah. He is the one who carries out the will of his Father.
PROVERBS 8TH CHAPTER SPEAKS OF THE ROLE OF OF THE LOGOS
To further comprehend the role of the Logos, turn your Bible to the book of Proverbs the 8th chapter verses 22-31. Verse 30 says, I was beside him as a master craftsman; and I was daily his delight. Clearly we see here that Jesus was with the Father, but he was separate from the Heavenly Father.
THE WORD WAS GOD
JOHN 1:1
For centuries, a poor translation of John 1:1, as well as a misunderstanding of biblical usage for the word god, has caused millions to wrongly believe in the trinity. In most Bibles, John 1:1 reads In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God, and the Word was God. This scripture is the cornerstone of Trinitarian creed.
HOW SHOULD JOHN 1:1 BE TRANSLATED?
The first argument in refuting this interpretation is an appeal to common sense. How could the Word be with God and be God at the same time? If the point here was to say that the Word was God, why bother saying that he was with him? Would not the passage more likely read (In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was in all things God?) The very word structure of this passage provides strong evidence for mistranslation.
In an effort to validate their own bias towards the trinity doctrine, it appears that the translators have ignored an obvious distinction between the Logos and the Heavenly Father in John 1:1. The Greek word that is used for god in the passage is theos. In the two uses of the word god there is a difference in its usage. In the first use the Word was with God the word is ho theos meaning THE God. In the second usage of this verse it is simply theos. Given this, the proper reading of John 1:1 should be In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with the God, and a god was the Word. Verse 2 goes on to say, He was in the beginning with the (ho theos) God.
According to the Strongs Concordance, the Greek word theos, which is numbered 2316 in the Greek dictionary found towards the back of the publication, means a deity, especially with word (3588) the supreme Divinity. Now let us examine word 3588. This word is the very ho placed before the name of God in the first usage in John 1:1.
Given this obvious distinction between theos and ho theos, by the Apostle John, can there be any doubt that Jesus Christ in his pre-human condition was an all together separate being from the God of the universe?
THE HEBREW WORD ELOHIM
Numerous times in the Old Testament the Hebrew word elohim is used for the word God. It is often used when referring to the Heavenly Father, but the meaning of elohim is simply mighty one or one in authority. Given this, elohim is applied to angels as in Psalm 8:5 You have made him (the future Messiah) a little lower than the angels (elohim) and have crowned him with glory and honor.
In other instances in the Old Testament elohim is used when speaking of powerful human beings. For instance in Exodus 7:1 Moses is called elohim See I have made you as God to Pharaoh. Psalm 82:6-7 refers to the saints as elohim I said you are gods, and all of you are children of the most high God.
THINGS WERE MADE THROUGH HIM
The gospel of the Apostle John tells us that All things were made THROUGH him, (Jesus) and without him nothing was made that was made. (John 1:3) The majority of translations use the word through, which is wrongly translated in the original King James Bible as all things were made by him.
