DOES THE BIBLE
CONTRADICT ITSELF? |
|
YES,
IF THE DOCTRINE OF THE
TRINITY IS RIGHT |
|
IT TEACHES THAT THE
FATHER, SON, AND HOLY GHOST ARE THREE SEPARATE & DISTANCE
PERSONS. EACH CO-ETERNAL & CO-EXISTENT & CO-EQUAL IN POWER |
|
FIVE MAJOR CONTRADICTIONS |
| 1. CREATION |
| Genesis the first chapter |
God the Father created all things |
| Isaiah 44:24 |
God made all things alone and by himself |
| The Contradiction |
St. John 1:3 & 10 with Colossians 1:14-16 -- Here
the Bible says that everything was made by Jesus |
| Dr. Graham in a 1995 broadcast used the
above scriptures and said he couldn't understand it, but still believes in
the trinity. |
| 2. THE FATHER |
| Luke 1:32 |
Here Jesus was called the Son of the highest (God the
Father) |
| The Contradiction |
Matthew 1: 18-20. Here Matthew clearly tells us that
the Father of Jesus was the Holy Ghost. |
| 3. THE "I AM" |
| Exodus 3:14 |
God said "I Am that I Am, Tell them that I Am hath sent
you." |
| The Contradiction |
St John 8:58, Jesus said "Before Abraham was, 'I
AM.'" Israel, knowing that "I AM' referred to Jehovah God,
picked up stones to kill him. |
| The Hebrew word for "I AM' is HAVAH,
(pronounced Haw,Yaw). It means "Jehovah God, The Self
Existent One." |
| 4. THE FIRST AND THE
LAST |
| Isaiah 44: 6 & 8 |
The LORD (JEHOVAH) said "I am the first and I am the
last, and beside me there is no God." |
| The Contradiction |
Revelation 1:8, 11 and 17 Here Jesus declares
that he himself is the first and the last and the Almighty |
| 5. THE RESURRECTION |
| Acts 3:15 & 26 with Galatians 1:1 |
God the Father raised up Jesus from the dead |
| The Contradiction |
John 2:19 & 21 Jesus said, "Destroy
this temple (his body) and in three days I will raise it up. |
|
THE ONENESS DOCTRINE
REMOVES ALL CONTRADICTIONS |
|
1. CREATION |
| Adam Clark said in his commentary on St. John 1:3
"God and Christ are said to have created all things, therefore Christ
and the Father are one."
Jesus clearly said, "I and my father are one." John
10:30
Hath not one God created us. Mal 2:10 |
|
2. THE FATHER |
| It is impossible for Christ to have had two fathers.
Therefore the Holy Ghost and the Father are the one and the selfsame
spirit. |
|
3. THE 'I AM' |
| This sacred name could not be used by two persons.
John 8:58-59 when Jesus used it they tried to kill him because they
thought he was claiming to be God. |
|
4. THE FIRST & THE LAST |
| It is utterly unthinkable to have two firsts and two
lasts. Therefore Christ and God are one. Just as Jesus said in
St. John 10:30. "I and my Father are one." |
|
5. THE RESURRECTION |
| Here Jesus speaks from his divine nature letting us know he
was both God and man. Jesus raised his own body from the
grave. St. John 2: 19 & 21. |
| You must keep in mind the dual nature of Christ, being God
manifest in the flesh, he could speak and act as both man and God. |
|
Understanding the oneness of God
removes all contradictions in the Bible |
