There is not adequate evidence that Jesus is God, and that the Trinity doctrine contradicts the words of Jesus in the New Testament of the Holy Bible. It also goes against the established laws of God, which Jesus declared He did not come to change but to fulfill.

Believe me when I tell you these people are incapable of speaking directly. They spin their illusions with words the way a spider spins its web, hoping to trap a fly. My cunning opponent will attempt to use logic as his foundational argument when it suits him. But ignore the illogical notion that a man would pray to himself, cry out for mercy to himself, or sit at the right hand of himself.

Given that Jesus is the Son of God and (according to them) Jesus is God, therefore Jesus is the Father of Himself. That is not sound logic.

Jesus is the Lamb of God.

Jesus is God.

Therefore, God is a lamb. And on and on it goes.

He may also push tenets of modern leftist Common Core math—like 1 + 1 + 1 = 1.

It doesn’t.

It’s three.

The answer is three, and it’s always going to be three.

With fistfuls of icons, idols, and manuscripts written by long-dead and unverifiable church fathers, he will attempt to claim that the demise of Western civilization is because we refuse to adopt their bizarre and monopolistic interpretation of Scripture. That if I fail to kiss the proper authority’s ring—worn by a man dressed in a robe who keeps trying to get me to kiss his hand—we will all fall to “global homo.”

[My opponent] will speak quickly and use large words like “presupposition” and archaic insults no one understands, like “Arian heresy.” Let me guess—my mama’s a Visigoth?

When I say these people are incapable of speaking directly and clearly, I mean it.

Watch for the sleight of hand.

My crafty opponent may use carefully selected Bible quotes, like “No one comes to the Father except through me,” to claim that Jesus is in fact God. Imagine someone saying, “Only through the trail in the woods can you get to Grandmother’s house,” and then with a straight face claiming that this proves the trail in the woods is Grandmother’s house.

Or quotes like “I and the Father are one”—from the same book that says the Father, the husband, and the wife are one.

[My opponent] is no stranger to the absurdity of gender confusion. Either the Bible is claiming I am in fact my wife Amy, or it is referring to one essence, one mission, one purpose.

My opponent will attempt to create the illusion that the way is the destination, that the word is the speaker, and that the Son is His own Father. He will do this under the banner of logic. And when that inevitably fails, he will settle on “It’s all just one big mystery,” and “How dare you limit God’s ability to keep secrets from Himself.”

At that point, we will know he has been defeated. Because unlike the fly he’s used to trapping in his web of poorly drawn cartoons and sarcastic tirades, a bear will never fall for the cobwebs of a sophist’s pen.

Okay, I am not condemning anyone….to hell, however, because—unlike them—I don’t believe magic words and verbal declarations are what God judges us on. It is our heart and our intention. There is no magic ring to kiss, no scroll to chant, no enchanted hat or idol. Just our heart, our love, and our submission to God.

How we are judged and who among us is truly walking the path is not for us to know. But what I do know is that the doctrine of the Trinity deviates from the commands of God and is contrary to the words of Jesus. This leads to psychological, systemic, and spiritual tyranny.

Criticizing the Trinity doctrine—or the Romans who invented it—is not an attack on Christ in any way.
