Chapter 10: The False Trinity Doctrine

Page 26

use the words Jesus, Spirit and God within the same sentence. That seems to

be the only basis of the trinity doctrine. However, the fact that Jesus, God and God’s Spirit is mentioned within the same verse does not prove that God is composed of three equal and separate entities. Once again the verse does not directly support the trinity doctrine. In fact, it doesn’t even imply a

trinity in and of itself.

“And suddenly a voice came from Heaven, saying, “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” Matthew 3:17

Hagee ref #9. Is it direct support for trinity doctrine? No!

Commentary: Many verses used to support the trinity do not even have three elements to them. They are like this verse that point to the

duality of the Father and the Son.

“Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son

and of the Holy Spirit.” Matthew 28:19

Hagee ref #10. Is it direct support for trinity doctrine? No!

Commentary: The baptismal formula in Matthew contains the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. However, as previously noted from the words of Jesus, it is God’s Holy Spirit. The verse should be read and understood to mean we should baptize to honor God, His begotten Son Jesus, and His

Holy Spirit, which is the Spirit of truth.

“If you love me, keep my commandments. [16] And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that

He may abide with you forever—the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to

you. A little while longer and the world will see me no more, but you will see me. Because I live, you will live also.
