15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living
GOD.
17 And Yehoshua (Jesus) answered and said unto him, Blessed

art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed
it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.
18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it. (Mat 16:15-18 KJV)
So if we ask ourselves whom do the disciples consider
Yehoshua (Jesus) to be,
GOD or the son of GOD? The answer
would have to be the son of
GOD, because Yehoshua (Jesus) is
agreeing with Peter's assessment that he is the son of
GOD.
This would have been the perfect opportunity to correct Peter

and explain to him the Trinity if it existed. But it does not which
is why Yehoshua (Jesus) did not explain it. But rather Yehoshua
(Jesus) let them keep the understanding that he confirms is
from the Father, and we know that he never lies.

Upon what rock? Upon Peter? No. Is Yehoshua (Jesus)

explaining that, upon the doctrine of the Trinity, he will build
his church? No, it is built upon the fact that Yehoshua (Jesus) is
the Christ the son of the living
GOD no more no less. Did it say
Trinity anywhere in there? The foundation that we must hold as

Christians is that Yehoshua (Jesus) is the Christ the son of the
living
GOD, not a Trinity. The church has placed a false
doctrine at its foundation, and it is not supposed to be the

Trinity. It is upon the rock that Yehoshua (Jesus) is the Christ the
son of the living
GOD.

THE REASON
I would like to explain my motivations for writing this. My

motivation is to reveal the revelations of truth during my
study of the Bible. I am not trying to promote a certain
religious group. I am not trying to confuse Christians into
leaving Christianity. My wish is to reveal the truth of
GOD's word that is missing in churches today. There are

certain fundamental errors that I see the church
accepting that I can no longer ignore. I must publish my
findings and allow whatever results from that to happen.
Because I cannot teach a lie anymore. And then after
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
23
that I can feel a clear conscience that I made available

My findings.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven
days, that the word of the LORD came unto
me, saying, 17 Son of man, I have made thee a
watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore
hear the word at my mouth, and give them
warning from me. 18 When I say unto the
wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest
him not warning, nor speakest to warn the
wicked from his wicked way, to save his life;
the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity;
but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19
Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not
from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way,
he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast
delivered thy soul. 20 Again, When a
righteous man doth turn from his
righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay
a stumblingblock before him, he shall die:
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
24
because thou hast not given him warning, he

shall die in his sin, and his righteousness
which he hath done shall not be remembered;
but his blood will I require at thine hand.21
Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man,
that the righteous sin not, and he doth not
sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned;
also thou hast delivered thy soul.

WELCOME
I really don't know why you have decided to read this
book. Maybe it is out of a desire that GOD is putting in
your heart. Maybe you have seen some inconsistencies
in the doctrines the church adheres to today. You may
have some indication in your spirit that something is
missing. Or maybe you just want to prove me wrong.
Whatever the reason is that you come here and read
these lines. It is my humble belief that GOD has brought
you here. And whatever this book may produce within
you is the desired outcome.
So my desire is that you pray and ask GOD before you

move on to reveal to you whether or not you should
accept it.
26 These things have I written unto you

concerning them that seduce you.

27 But the anointing which ye have received

of him abideth in you, and ye need not that

no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall
abide in him. (1Jo 2:26-27 KJV)

ON
THE
VERGE
Today I feel like we are at the precipice of something

amazing. What is happening in this world is the coming
of a great church reformation. In future years because of
the Internet and the increase in knowledge the church is
approaching a reformation stage. There are a few deeply
held doctrines of the Church including the doctrine of the
Trinity that will be shaken to its foundation. This book is
addressing the doctrine of the Trinity specifically and all
other doctrines that profess understanding of the
relationship between GOD the Father and Yehoshua
(Jesus) Christ. GOD is bringing the church through a
process of purifying. The original doctrine of the apostles
has been lost in a few vital areas, lost through the ages.
GOD has been working on reestablishing his original

doctrines into his church slowly century by century
reintroducing various lost doctrines to the church.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
28
Ever since the church has existed it has constantly had

to fight off false doctrine. There is evidence pointing to
the church adopting doctrines that the original apostles
never intended. You will see evidence that this doctrine
and others like it are inconsistent with the doctrine of the
apostles. But GOD is currently in a process of
restoration. GOD has been making a mighty effort to
restore the church to its original doctrines, a great
example is John Wycliffe.

JOHN WYCLIFFE 1320 DECEMBER 1384

John Wycliffe came at odds with the Catholic Church
over faith in Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ. He believed that all
you needed to be saved was to believe in Yehoshua
(Jesus). And some of you may say to yourselves that this
doctrine is obvious. That there are Scriptures that are
blatantly declaring this. And I would have to agree with
you. It is an obvious Scripture supported doctrine. What
is amazing about this is that it was not the way the
church believed during his time. John Wycliffe had to
criticize the doctrine that you are saved by works for
example confession to a priest. Wycliffe disagreed with
the practice of confession to a priest. He believed that it
was a private discussion between you and GOD. This
doctrine today is basic and easily proven in the Bible.
Can you believe that Wycliffe was called a heretic and

excommunicated from the church? His friends a asked
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
30
him to tone it down. He was kicked out of Oxford

because of pressure by the Roman Catholic Church. It is
interesting to see how the institution of the church was
willing to criminalize a man because he was teaching a
doctrine that they didn't agree with but was biblically
supported. When we look at this situation I can imagine
the thoughts going through his head. On the one hand
he was reading scriptural evidence supporting faith in
Yehoshua (Jesus) only. And the established church of
Yehoshua (Jesus) condemning him for teaching
something that was not widely accepted by the church in
that day. Other errors Wycliffe opposed was that Friars in
that time used to keep the peasantry in the dark about
what the Bible truly said. And instead taught doctrines
that made them money like indulgences for example.
Indulgences were used as a way of paying for the
salvation of a deceased loved one. They said that if you
paid this amount of money you would save your loved
one from hell. Obviously that is nowhere taught in the
Bible, but unfortunately the peasants could not read or
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
31
the Bible was not written in their language. And it gave

the Friars and priests the advantage to essentially abuse
the ignorance of the congregation.
Wycliffe opposed these and other teachings that were

not biblical. He endured unfounded criticism and he was
alienated from his church. But today from our
perspective he stood up against the Roman Catholic
Church with biblically sound doctrine. Now we must ask
ourselves why didn't the church during his time readily
accept his teachings if they were so blatantly obvious in
the Scriptures? What would we say today if our churches
kick someone out because he or she believed in
salvation by faith in Yehoshua (Jesus) only? That faith in
Yehoshua (Jesus) only and not the payment of monies
brought the sinner to salvation.
Today it is very obvious that the doctrine is biblical.
What is amazing is that the church leadership did not
understand the Bible correctly, and they were very ready
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
32
to paint the man of GOD as a heretic. The church can

teach a doctrine that is not bound in Scripture and
mistakenly oppose the truth of GOD's word.
Another interesting thing that Wycliffe contributed to
was that he understood that the problem was not in the
priesthood as much as it was in the congregation that
perpetuated the continued acceptance of unbiblical
teachings. Not that the congregations were supporting it
as much as it is that they were uninformed about what
the Bible truly taught. So what he sought out to do was
to rectify the major obstacle that the priesthood were
exploiting. And that was that the Bible that they had was
not written in their language. Because the congregation
could not read the Bible for themselves and see that
what he was trying to teach was in fact in the Bible he
was instrumental in bringing the first Bible into English.
Although major reforms were not made to the church
during Wycliffe's time. Because of the prospect of the
availability of the Bible in English the veil of ignorance
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
33
could be lifted from the congregations. The priests of

that time to good advantage of the fact that the Bible
was written in Italian. In the English speaking
congregations laymen had to take the word of the
priests on how to live a godly life. And they also had to
trust what they were taught was indeed in the Bible.
John Wycliffe wrote the first Bible in English, the
Catholic Church in an effort to prevent the loss of their
moneymaking doctrines through ignorance. Declared a
Bible written in English without their supervision heresy...

Wikipedia on Wycliffe
The Council of Constance declared Wycliffe (on 4
May 1415) a heretic and under the ban of the
Church. It was decreed that his books be burned
1 http://www.kjv-only.com/doug/1john5_7.html
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
34
and his remains be exhumed. The exhumation was

carried out in 1428 when, at the command of Pope
Martin V, his remains were dug up, burned, and
the ashes cast into the River Swift, which flows
through Lutterworth. This is the most final of all
posthumous attacks on John Wycliffe, but previous
attempts had been made before the Council of
Constance. The Anti-Wycliffite Statute of 1401
extended persecution to Wycliffe's remaining
followers. The "Constitutions of Oxford" of 1408
aimed to reclaim authority in all ecclesiastical
matters, specifically naming John Wycliffe in a ban
on certain writings, and noting that translation of
Scripture into English by unlicensed laity is a
crime punishable by charges of heresy.
Although John Wycliffe did his best to teach sound
biblical doctrine, and his successful attempt to bring a
readable Bible to the congregations of the churches of
his time. He did not see the fruit of his labor but his
contributions would ripple into a mighty wave of reform
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
35
in the church. The major doctrine that he was opposing

was that GOD did not want money for salvation but that
he wanted faith in Yehoshua (Jesus) as the only way to
salvation. The Catholic Church at that time insisted that
they be paid money to make sure their loved ones were
saved. Wycliffe's teachings had the potential of affecting
the Catholic Church's revenues, and sadly it appears that
they had more selfish motives than godly motives to
continue this doctrine.

JOHN HUS (1369 6 J ULY 1415)

Wycliffe had great influence on John Hus who also
taught against indulgences and claimed that the Pope
had no right to pick up the sword and go to war in the
name of the church. He said instead he should pray for
his enemies. John Hus taught that the only head of the
church is Christ not the Pope. John Hus was trying to
teach the church that we should not view a man on earth
as though he were the actual head of the church but that
only Yehoshua (Jesus) is the head. He also taught that
the Bible is the ultimate authority concerning Scripture
and if a congregation had a dispute between the
leadership's teaching and the Bible that the Christians
should choose the Bible instead of their leadership.
Essentially he was teaching that the Bible is the only
place we get doctrine. Today we fully understand that
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
37
the Bible is the only place we should obtain teachings. If

it doesn't line up with the word it shouldn't be accepted.
In those days the preacher and the priests told you

what was true and they created their own doctrines. The
church taught that if you wanted blessings from the
church you had to buy them. They also believed that the
church could withhold blessings from an entire city so
that no one in that city could be married, buried,
forgiven or be blessed by GOD without the blessing of
the church. Which they did attempt to do in the city that
John Hus was preaching in because he was preaching
there. We can see that at this moment in time the
church had adopted many doctrines that were not
biblical. And that they took advantage of their position
and used it as a way of making money instead of
preaching GOD's Word. What must be realize here is
that it is possible for the church as a whole to accept
teachings that are un-biblical that need to be removed.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
38
Hus taught that forgiveness is obtained by true

repentance and not money. John Hus was burned at the
stake for heresy against the Catholic Church.
2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out
of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all
longsuff ering and doctrine.
3 For the time will come when they will not
endure sound doctrine; but after their own
lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears;
4 And they shall turn away their ears from
the truth, and shall be turned unto fables (2Ti
4:2-4 KJV)
What is occurring in this time period, is that GOD is

revealing truths from his word to the congregations. And
the church leadership is ignoring the fact that these
statements being made are biblically true. And rather
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
39
support a false doctrine that involves a little selfish

benefit rather than humbly accept the true word of
GOD. Today we know money cannot buy salvation only

the blood of Yehoshua (Jesus) and believing on him. But
for some reason the church felt that the truth was so
dangerous that they had to burn a man alive to prove
otherwise.
38 And now I say unto you, Refrain from
these men, and let them alone: for if this
counsel or this work be of men, it will come to
nought:
39 But if it be of GOD, ye cannot overthrow it;
lest haply ye be found even to fight against
GOD. (Act 5:38-39 KJV)
This verse says it all. What the church leadership did

not understand was that this was a move GOD was
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
40
making. So although you can shoot the messenger the

message of GOD will not change.
Eliseo Rodriguez

MARTIN LUTHER 10 NOVEMBER 1483 18

FEBRUARY 1546
This reformer taught justification by faith and not by
payment. He also taught by example that priests could
marry. And many other topics in the 95 thesis. Martin
Luther was also excommunicated, all of his writings were
declared heretical and to be burned. It was allowed that
anyone could kill Martin Luther and not be charged with
a crime. Martin Luther also helped translate the Bible
into his language. And the rest as they say is history, the
Protestant Reformation was in full swing. It is shockingly
amazing how the church leadership ignored obvious
biblical doctrine for a tradition of men. It has happened
before and it can happen again. And the Lutheran
Church exists to this day. And every church that is not
Catholic but Protestant have these and many others to
thank for standing up for truth and declaring the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
42
mainstream churches doctrines heretical, and instead

teaching sound biblical doctrine.
Today the church is entering a similar time. A time
when a few more deeply rooted unbiblical doctrines will
be tested against the truth of Scripture. The church itself
can only accept so much change at one time. Sometimes
the deeply rooted weeds are the last to be removed. I
cannot imagine the church tackling all of these doctrines
at once. And GOD would not give us more than we can
handle. And because of that I believe that we have come
to a point where those reforms are complete and
solidified. And I believe that now it is time to repair other
errors in church doctrine. But I believe that it is not going
to take as much time as it did in the 14th century.
Communication was more difficult to do. Writing letters
and mailing them off and awaiting a response was timeconsuming. Today we can debate issues with people
around the world as though we were in the same room
with them. And I believe because of this ability reform
will occur very quickly in comparison.

ROMAN CATHOLIC OPINIONS

If the Catholic Church has been in error for so long,
teaching heresy and persecuting the true Teachers of the
Gospel. Why do we agree with anything they declare?
We must reexamine all the supposed "heretics of the
church" and see if they are not indeed the true
preachers of truth. How long has the Roman Catholic
Church been persecuting the true Saints of GOD? How
long has she been apostate?
Could this refer to the Vatican?
And there came one of the seven angels
which had the seven vials, and talked with

2 With whom the kings of the earth have

committed fornication, and the inhabitants of
the earth have been made drunk with the
wine of her fornication.
3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet coloured beast, full of names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten
horns.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and
scarlet colour, and decked with gold and
precious stones and pearls, having a golden
cup in her hand full of abominations and
fi lthiness of her fornication:
5 And upon her forehead was a name written,
MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER
OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE
EARTH.

6 And I saw the woman drunken with the

blood of the saints, and with the blood of the
martyrs of Yehoshua (Jesus): and when I saw
her, I wondered with great admiration.
7 And the angel said unto me, Wherefore
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery
of the woman, and of the beast that carrieth

up with biblical truth? Or the doctrines of men? Then you

accepted Yehoshua (Jesus) did they tell you Yehoshua
(Jesus) was a trinity? Or did they preach 2 involved? For
most Christians you accepted a gospel that had One
Father and one son. After you accepted and believe
someone came and introduced another gospel to you.
This is why Paul says the following

any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be
accursed.

WHAT THE TRINITY IS
First I would like to begin by delving into what the Trinity

is considered by most Christians. So I will be looking at
the definition of the Trinity as it is in Wikipedia.
THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY DEFINES

ITS
GOD AS THREE DIVINE PERSONS OR HYPOSTASES :
[1] THE FATHER, THE SON (Y EHOSHUA (JESUS)

C HRIST ), AND THE HOLY SPIRIT . THE THREE
PERSONS ARE DISTINCT, YET ARE ONE

ESSENCE OR NATURE ".[2]
A NATURE IS WHAT ONE
IS, WHILE A PERSON IS WHO ONE IS.[3][4][5]
THE TRINITY IS CONSIDERED TO BE A MYSTERY OF

C HRISTIAN FAITH .[6] A CCORDING TO THIS
DOCTRINE , THERE IS ONLY ONE
PERSONS.
ENTIRE .
GOD IN THREE
EACH PERSON IS GOD, WHOLE AND
THEY ARE DISTINCT FROM ONE ANOTHER IN
THEIR RELATIONS OF ORIGIN : AS THE
FOURTH
LATERAN COUNCIL DECLARED , "IT IS THE FATHER

WHO GENERATES , THE
THE
SON WHO IS BEGOTTEN , AND
HOLY SPIRIT WHO PROCEEDS". WHILE DISTINCT
IN THEIR RELATIONS WITH ONE ANOTHER , THEY ARE

ONE IN ALL ELSE .
THE WHOLE WORK OF CREATION
AND GRACE IS A SINGLE OPERATION COMMON TO ALL

THREE DIVINE PERSONS , WHO AT THE SAME TIME
OPERATE ACCORDING TO THEIR UNIQUE PROPERTIES ,
SO THAT ALL THINGS ARE FROM THE
THROUGH THE
FATHER,
SON AND IN THE HOLY SPIRIT.[6]

THE THREE PERSONS ARE CO -EQUAL, CO -ETERNAL

AND CONSUBSTANTIAL .
TRINITARIANISM (ONE DEITY IN THREE PERSONS)

So what we have here is the basic doctrine of the Trinity.

The doctrine is that God the Father is God, Yehoshua
(Jesus) is also God and the Spirit of God as another God
and are all in essence one being. These are only three
aspects of that one being which would be Yahweh.
And I can understand that there are various different
opinions and viewpoints and belief systems to the Trinity.
The most fundamental part of the doctrine of the Trinity,
that is to say that there are three parts of God, or three
facets, or three beings in any way shape or form but also
one as well is false doctrine.
If a doctrine declares Yehoshua (Jesus) to be equal with
GOD the Father this also is false doctrine. I will prove this
in later chapters but I want everyone to understand that
the concept that Yehoshua (Jesus) is equal with the
Father is inaccurate and that the belief that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is in any way shape or form is fully GOD is also
false doctrine.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

Ever since I have been a Christian I was taught this

doctrine. And I never fully understood how the Trinity
was three and one at the same time. One person
explained it to me as water, water has three forms one is
a gas, one is a liquid, and one is a solid.
Although I do still understand that water can be three
properties, I do not think that this analogy applies to the
relationship between GOD the Father and Yehoshua
(Jesus) Christ. Although it is a great analogy, being able
to use an analogy does not necessarily mean that the
analogy being applied to your doctrine actually means it
is being applied correctly.
The Bible defines itself, and should be the only
resource used to develop doctrine. Outside analogies,
the length of theologies, or the number of those who
agree on a subject does not make it fact.
As an example let's say there are a large number of
people who believe that homosexuality is an acceptable
lifestyle before
GOD. If that number where the majority
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
57
would that make it biblical truth? We should all agree

that it would not since the Bible clearly condemns such
practices. I believe that the Trinitarian doctrine came
from an attempt at understanding the Bible but also
influenced by outside philosophy... And I also understand
that someone had to answer questions that they had no
answers for. And the relationship between GOD and
Yehoshua (Jesus) is certainly a complicated issue. But I
do believe that the answer to those questions is not the
Trinity. So in this book I'm going to relate to you views of
the early church Fathers. The connection between the
Trinitarian doctrine and Gnosticism. Who Yehoshua
(Jesus) is in relation to GOD the Father. What his role is
on earth and in heaven. Where in the Bible Yehoshua
(Jesus) was created in the Old Testament. Explaining why
Yehoshua (Jesus) is worshiped in Revelation.

FOUNDATIONS
OF THE
TRINITY
The most important parts of the Trinity doctrine are

these:
uncreated or not existing by creation
2.
The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit
are limitless
3.
are eternal.
4.
are omnipotent or Almighty.
5.
are coequal as in equal with one another.
6.
are one homoousios, as in they are of the "same
substance" and are equally God.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
59
7.
One God in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity
These are the basic key statements in the Trinity

doctrine
I would like to make a statement about the other faiths.
Particularly because the Muslim faith, which uses the
doctrine of the Trinity and its incompatibility with the
Bible as a means of prying Christians away from the faith
in Yehoshua (Jesus) and into Muslim faith. (Through
deceptive practices.)

YEHOSHUA (JESUS)
IS
THE
ONLY WAY TO
SALVATION
I would like to state here emphatically that any faith
that denies Yehoshua (Jesus) as the only way to GOD4 is
a demonic doctrine. I do not approve of the use of this
book in such a manner. All faiths that deny that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is the only way to a redeemed
relationship with GOD through his blood as a sacrifice
for sin5, is false and should not be listened to. This book
can be used to discredit and untie the lies of deception
created by the author of lies who tries to draw away the
children of GOD from our Father.

SIMPLICITY
I will do my best to make this as easy as possible to
understand. At certain points we will briefly examine
words in the Greek. Hopefully these parts will not be
difficult to understand.
The desire in my heart is present to you raw biblical
truth. Because it would be a crime for me to not share
the truth GOD has given me concerning the Trinity.
These concepts will not be easy to swallow, because
what is at issue is part of our foundational understanding
of Yehoshua (Jesus).
But I feel that unless we understand clearly, we cannot
move on to deeper and greater relationship with GOD
and his son Yehoshua (Jesus) without understanding
correctly this fundamental truth.

A CHANGING THEOLOGY
When we see the need for change it's usually when we

find an error or the loss of usability of an item. For
example when we get our tires changed it's usually
because we notice something about the tire that
indicates the need to change.
The same is true for a windshield if we see a crack
although the window is still usable it will eventually get
bigger and need to be addressed. When we examine
doctrines in the church are there indications that
something may need to change? I do believe that there
are small cracks in the doctrine of the Trinity. Signs that
there may need to be a time of re-examination.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
65
Biblical theologians study the word as deeply as they

can. Theologians have a drive and a desire to seek out
what the Bible truly teaches. One of the things I like
about theologians is they like to follow evidence, and
they are very thorough. Non-Catholic churches have
grown and expanded throughout the United States.
Seminaries and Bible schools have proliferated around
the world. The study of the Bible is no longer limited to
just a few.
Android OS is open source meaning anyone can look at
the source code and modified in any way shape or form.
And people regularly develop the software to improve
the capabilities. There are forums where thousands upon
thousands of people work together to solve problems in
software.
And I believe that the church is coming to the point
where the entire church can join the discussion on
doctrine. As we allow the many viewpoints and input of
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
66
members of the church our biblical doctrine will be

formed into what GOD had intended.
Theologians previously were the only ones involved in
doctrine formation, what is going to happen is that
everyone in the church is going to participate, every
Christian has a right to contribute to doctrine.
HINTS
FROM
THEOLOGIANS
Theologians today may be intentionally or

unintentionally revealing the cracks in the doctrine of
the Trinity. What I would like to reveal to you now are
theologians that are making interesting statements
about the doctrine of the Trinity. Please keep in mind that
these are Trinitarian scholars, these men believe that
the Trinity is valid but they also have made these
admissions.

CRACKS
So here in these words of theologians we see a gentle
revealing of cracks in the doctrine. Some theologians
may be intimidated with what could happen to them if
they do not teach according to their leadership. Or the
loss of friendships and credibility in their congregations
and relationships they have. What I believe we are
reading is the desire of Christian theologians to reveal
findings on the subject that is extremely sensitive. And I
also believe that this was a tactfully calculated attempt
at introducing cracks in the theology in the hopes that
someday someone may venture out and examine them.
Whatever the reason may be whether it be these or
others. I believe that this is an attempt at dropping hints
regarding adherence to the doctrine of the Trinity.
And as we've seen before it is not beyond the church to
persecute and excommunicate an individual who is
attempting to teach true doctrine in the face of church
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
86
leaders inaccurately interpreting the Bible. So to those

and many other theologians all I can say is thank you for
revealing the tiny cracks in the doctrine, and as we the
church of the world examine these cracks. We may be
able to understand why it was important enough for you
to reveal the crack in your books about the doctrine of
the Trinity.
Our job now as Christians is to rightfully examine the
claims of these theologians, and to objectively examine
the supportability of the Trinity in our churches. Although
this may not be an easy task we must attempt to unify
the congregations of the church of Yehoshua (Jesus)
together on all matters of doctrine. Whether it be
through online conversations and debates or church
discussion. Everyone should be involved in church
doctrine.
We must acknowledge that historically the church has
supported unbiblical doctrine7, largely due to ignorance
7 http://www.luther.de/en/95thesen.html
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
87
on the part of the congregation. John Wyclif and many

others remedied ignorance in the church through
providing Bibles in their languages.8 Thereby revealing
inconsistencies in church doctrine and the Bible.
Today the problem with the church congregations is the
lack of desire to critically examine the biblical support
for all doctrines in our churches. Until we as the body of
Christ decide to study the supportability of our doctrines
in the Bible. We will continue to understand GOD
inaccurately. I will attempt to reveal to you what I see
concerning the Trinity.

THE KEY
There are only a few things in Christianity that creates

such anger in the Christian community as questioning
the validity of the Trinity. And I don't take questioning the
doctrine of the Trinity lightly. But I am fully convinced
and as you examine the verses themselves you would be
able to at least understand why I have come to my
position. The most crucial truth that must be understood
is the usage of the word "god" in the Bible. Most
Christians of today do not fully understand how the word
"god" was used in the Bible. And because of that
misunderstanding we have stumbled into error as in the
Trinity Doctrine. But I do believe that GOD is going to
use this book and others like it to restore full
understanding of the gospel message.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
89
This is the key that unlocks the questions that are raised
when Yehoshua (Jesus) is called God. The loss of the
understanding of the meaning in the context that was
originally intended for Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ is what is
causing the error. If we are to explain why the apostles
and the early church Fathers described Yehoshua (Jesus)
as God we must understand the terms that they meant.
We must explain the proper role of the word "God" as it
is applied to Yehoshua (Jesus).
Over time as this truth continues to filter through our
understanding the better off we can explain Christology.
Automatically a Trinitarian is going to assume that every
place Yehoshua (Jesus) is called God in the Bible or by
the early church Fathers that it is affirming the Trinitarian
doctrine. But I disagree, I believe that every place that it
is used prior to the Nicene Council has been used in the
manner that I'm about to describe. So for every nonTrinitarian reading this truth take a special note this will
be the key to exposing the error in the doctrine of the
Trinity.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
90
To begin with we will examine the word "God" in the

Bible. There are two words in the Bible for "God" that we
want to examine one is "Elohim" and the other is
"Theos."
"Elohim" is the word "God" in Hebrew.
"Theos" is the word "God" in Greek.
"God" is the word in English.
Now we must understand that the word "God" is a title.
Obviously "God" is most predominately used to define
the creator of the universe in the book of Genesis. What
would be easier is to call him by his name to prevent
confusion. The Jewish people have been blessed with the
knowledge of the name of GOD, but consider it too holy
to speak or write. And since GOD has entrusted his
name to them, and they have seen fit to make his name
secret we now only have four letters that we do know
are in his name. YHWH are the four letters that we know.
It is called the "Tetragrammaton" since we do not fully
know the name of YHWH. We have turned to titles to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
91
attribute to YHWH like the word "GOD." But we must

understand clearly that the word "God" is not his name,
but it is a title used to refer to him. Our concept of the
word has changed since the days the Bible was written.
Somehow we have come to the assumption that the
word "God" can only apply to a deity. But this is entirely
untrue, and the loss of this understanding has created
confusion to the point of error. What's most important is
understanding how the word has been used in the Bible
and it will determine how we can use it today. To prevent
confusion whenever the Bible (King James version)
writes LORD with all capitals it means that it says
"YHWH" in that spot. So we can identify where in the
Bible it uses "YHWH." What we will be examining is the
title "God" which is given to a supreme being. And is
used more often than not for "YHWH" than any other
person in the Bible.
Let us examine the definition of the word "God".
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
92
GOD, GOD A TERM GENERALLY USED IN THE ANCIENT

WORLD OF BEINGS WHO HAVE POWERS OR CONFER

TESTAMENT AND LXX MORPHOLOGICAL DATABASE

(BGM). N ORFOLK : BIBLEWORKS, LLC., 1999
Now that is the definition of the title "God" it refers to

"beings who have powers or confer benefits that lie
beyond the capacity of mortals." Now this definition is
extremely important to understand the usage of the
word "God." Let us examine versus that use the word
God to understand its usage. Since we understand that
the Bible does not make mistakes, and because we
understand that it is holy and no unclean thing could
come from the true words of GOD. It is safe to use words
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
93
in the Bible the same way the Bible has used it

previously as long as it fits with its previous uses
throughout the Bible. In other words if the Bible uses a
certain word in a certain way, it can be used again that
way as long as it does not contradict other verses.

KJV)
6.
19 Whose end is destruction, whose god is
their belly, and whose glory is in their shame,

who mind earthly things.) (Phi 3:19 KJV)
As we can see there are several uses for the title God,
and we will examine each one of these. The first verse
(1.) Was Genesis 2:4 where the title GOD was preceded
by GOD's actual name YHWH. So there is no confusion
what "GOD" we are speaking of because his name is
given in this chapter. The second verse
(2.) uses the name YHWH and it also uses the title "god"
but not in reference to YHWH but in reference to the
false "gods" of the world. The English-speaking world
understands slightly the loose usage of the word "god"
as it applies to false deities. I think we understand that
even though we use the same word "god" for false ones,
it is not necessarily taken as though they were real
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
95
"gods" but acknowledging that someone else considers

them as such. So in that respect we understand that the
word is a title that can be applied to other things without
blaspheming YHWH. Let us make it very clear the name
of GOD must only be applied to the GOD of Abraham
Isaac and Jacob. If a human or a false deity were to
assume the name of GOD that would be blasphemy. Not
the usage of title "god" but the usage of his name. With
that understanding I respect the Jewish people's decision
to not disclose the true name of GOD because of the
potential for blasphemy. GOD has appointed them
stewards of his name and his word and GOD does not
make mistakes. And now on to the third verse
(3.) Psa 82:6 KJV, now this verse applies to humans
when it uses the word "god" in this verse. This is the part
where Christians start to lose understanding. How many
sermons have you ever heard where they called us
"god"? I guarantee you not very many in fact I've never
heard one. But this verse clearly calls humans "gods"
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
96
and it also calls us children of the most high. Today

Christians easily accept the fact that they are children of
GOD. We understand that we were sinners, but by the

grace of GOD we have been forgiven through Yehoshua
(Jesus) and are now children of GOD. It does not seem
like a radical idea. But in the time of the New Testament
it was a very radical thing. In fact if we were standing
before the Jews of the time of the New Testament they
would've considered that blasphemy. Lets examine a
verse that shows how the Jewish people would consider
being a child of GOD, blasphemy in their eyes.
18 T HEREFORE THE J EWS SOUGHT THE MORE TO

KILL HIM , BECAUSE HE NOT ONLY HAD BROKEN THE
SABBATH , BUT SAID ALSO THAT
GOD
WAS HIS
F ATHER , MAKING HIMSELF EQUAL WITH GOD . (J OH

5:18 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
97
Whats most important here is that the mere concept of

a man or woman claiming to be a child of GOD was
equal in their eyes, of considering oneself GOD himself.
Talk about putting words in your mouth! I would like to
interject here that in the same way the Pharisees were
deducing claiming to be GOD when one claims to be a
child of GOD. This is the same way Trinitarian's assume
Yehoshua (Jesus) is GOD Almighty from twisting
statements. Although the verse we read (Psa 82:6 KJV)
shows that we can consider ourselves children of GOD
without calling ourselves equal with YHWH. What's
interesting is that the Jews went to such an extreme to
confuse what was being said that they forgot the verses
that agree with that statement. They made statements
that were contrary to their own understanding about the
Bible because they could not find fault in anything
Yehoshua (Jesus) said. As Christians we understand that
when we say we are the children of GOD we are not
saying that we are necessarily equal with GOD but that
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
98
we are his children through grace and forgiveness. But

the Jewish people of that day would not accept that
argument from us and would consider us blasphemers,
heretics, and false prophets. In the very same way that
they treated Yehoshua (Jesus). Also in the verse the man
of GOD who wrote this called us "gods". But in what
sense of the word? Certainly not in the sense of being
GOD himself, but in some other sense. To help us

understand what could possibly be meant here let us
examine another verse in the same context.
28 Thou shalt not revile the gods, nor curse
the ruler of thy people. (Exo 22:28 KJV)
In this verse we see that this verse appears to protect

false gods from being reviled. But this is not the
interpretation, the word "gods" here is concerning judges
and magistrates. I would like to provide a portion of
Matthew Henry's commentary on this verse.

So now that we have an understanding about how the

title "god" can be used we have a better understanding
about how the context in Psalms 82:6 may be coming
from. It could mean that the servants of GOD, who are in
the operation of GOD's will can be called "god" as a title.
Allow me to clarify that I am not saying that the servants
of GOD could assume the name of GOD (YHWH). But
the title with the understanding that they are subject to
YHWH, can be used for the children of YHWH and it not
be considered blasphemy. Now I understand that you've
never heard this before, and I understand that the
concept seems confusing or wrong in some way. What
Eliseo Rodriguez

54,174 words
101
we are learning is only how the word "God" can be used

and to be consistent with Scripture we must
acknowledge this truth. If we do not embrace truths in

deception.

ADAM
AND
EVE
In the story of Adam and Eve we see an exchange

between Eve and the serpent. The most important part
of the story is that Eve did not understand correctly. To
begin with GOD had spoken to Adam concerning the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

(G EN 2:16-17 KJV)
The command that GOD gave Adam was to not eat it. It
did not say you cannot use it for wood to burn it. It did
not say you could not use the branches to prop up your
tent. It did not say that you can't climb up on top of it to
look further down the garden. The only restriction is to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
104
not eat it. Like a poisonous plant we should not eat it but
we can use it as a decorative plant. So when we see a
command from GOD we should not add to it further
restrictions than what GOD has instituted. We must also
not take away from the command as it was clearly
stated, because it harbors confusion.

The truth is only true when it is in its purest form. Adding

to or removing from the truth makes it untrue and the
breeding ground for confusion. This is part of the reason
why the Jews that confronted Yehoshua (Jesus)
misunderstood his actions because of man-made laws
that were added to GOD's original laws.

The Pharisees did not understand between the traditions

of men and the true word of GOD. And because of that
they missed the opportunity to be able to accept the
Messiah they had spent so long waiting for. The same
will be true today some Christians have traditions that
are not based on the Bible, and if they do not accept the
true word of GOD. They will stumble and find
themselves at odds with truth.
GOD blessed Adam with the helper who we all know is

Eve. I don't know how Adam told the story to Eve
concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.
The Bible doesn't show a conversation between Adam
and Eve concerning the command of GOD that Adam
had received. Because Eve was not present to hear the
command for her own self, she had to take the word of
Adam. I don't know why and there is no biblical proof for

either way but for some reason Eve gave a wrong

answer to the serpent.
Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the

Where did the "neither shall ye touch it" come from? Is

that what GOD had originally commanded?
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
108
Unfortunately it is not, for whatever reason she believed

that she could not touch it. To be honest it sounds like a
good idea to add restrictions to the rules of GOD but
ultimately it's deception. What would happen if one of
those fruits fell on her head? Now since she believes that
she cannot touch it and if it fell on her head involuntarily
and she did not die would that not make her question
the rest of the command? Now I'm not saying that that's
what happened. But it is a good illustration of how not
understanding correctly can cause us to error. It's a good
illustration of how not understanding the Bible clearly
can create confusion and error. This is at the heart of
what this book is about, clearly understanding the Bible
without adding or subtracting anything. BALANCE IS KEY.
With that being said, the Bible clearly shows that the
title "god" can be used for judges, magistrates, and the
servants of GOD without violating the commands of
GOD.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
109
I believe that it's safe to say that Yehoshua (Jesus) never

misunderstands the Bible. Of all the teachers in the Bible
Yehoshua (Jesus) can be trusted most. And interestingly
Yehoshua (Jesus) has commented on this verse.
Yehoshua (Jesus) answered them, Is it not
written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?
35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word
of GOD came, and the scripture cannot be
broken;
36 S AY YE OF HIM , WHOM THE F ATHER HATH

SANCTIFIED , AND SENT INTO THE WORLD ,
BLASPHEMEST ; BECAUSE
T HOU
I SAID , I AM THE S ON OF
GOD ? (J OH 10:34-36 KJV)
What Yehoshua (Jesus) says here is foundational to

understanding one of the most important truths in the
Bible. Yehoshua (Jesus) is reminding the Jews of the
Scripture that says "ye are gods." And then he says that
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
110
the man of GOD who received the words of YHWH called

the other servants of YHWH "gods!" Now this statement
by Yehoshua (Jesus) explains his interpretation of the
verse. His interpretation is that the word "god" can be
used for the people of YHWH. This truth spoken by the
mouth of the son of GOD cannot be denied, because to
do so is to claim that Yehoshua (Jesus) did not
understand Scripture correctly. And I do not believe that
that is possible. When we read the word of god and we
see something that does not conform to our
understanding we must submit to the truth and not try
to add to it something it does not say. Another thing that
Yehoshua (Jesus) says after acknowledging that even the
Bible applies the word "god" to the people of GOD, he
also makes the statement that this Scripture cannot be
broken. In other words it is not an error in the Bible. We
cannot undo what the Bible already teaches, it is forever
a testament against anyone who does not accept this
truth. Because as Yehoshua (Jesus) says it is
unbreakable. So before someone tries to tell you that

what I'm saying is heresy, they may want to re-examine

this verse.

In this verse we see a truth that I've never heard

preached before. Now let us remember that when the
word "Lord" is spelled in all capitals it means that the
actual name of GOD is being used here. YHWH says that
he has made Moses a "god." What does that mean for
us? We have just seen a verse where YHWH appointed a
man as a "god" to the king of Egypt and Aaron his own
brother a Jew and the future priesthood of YHWH. Before
we go any further let us remember that the Scriptures
cannot be broken, according to the words of Yehoshua
(Jesus). And I can say that these versus existed in the
Septuagint. So from this verse we can say safely that
GOD can and has appointed human beings as a "god" to

bring the children of Israel into the land which GOD had
promised to them. This shows how Moses was appointed
to the position of having the title of "god" but still being
subject to obedience to YHWH. Essentially it's just a title
when it is applied to a man. It means that this man of
GOD has no equal in the kingdom of GOD. Moses was

chosen and appointed and there was no one that could
come to YHWH without Moses. Moses was a mediator
between GOD and man. He would go into the presence
of YHWH and he would come back with direction from
YHWH. YHWH would speak to him to send his message
out to the rest of the people of GOD. Does this sound
familiar?

What's being shown here is that Yehoshua (Jesus) was

counted worthy of more glory than Moses. Now I
understand that Yehoshua (Jesus) is due more glory than
Moses, but given what we know now about Moses being
appointed as a "god" in the servant of GOD sense. How
much more glory can Yehoshua (Jesus) receive? We will
study that in another chapter. But what we must
understand is the usage of the word "god", how it was
used and how it can be used.

Here is another beautiful example of how the word "god"

is used in relation to a King (Yehoshua (Jesus)). As we
read in verse seven it says "therefore God, thy GOD has
anointed thee", and the way it is understood is that the
King is being called "God" but later on we see that this
God King has a GOD himself which we understand is
YHWH. I want to reiterate the point that the word "god"
is a title meaning separated unto YHWH for his purposes
exalted and anointed unto obedience to YHWH. In no
way should it be interpreted that YHWH is relinquishing
his own authority. YHWH is Almighty and he appoints
whom he wants and they are at the mercy of his
decisions regardless of what position he appoints them
to. So to understand Scripture correctly YHWH can
appoint a man with the title of "god" as he wills, and that
does not mean that they are no longer subject to YHWH,
but I believe are required even stricter obedience.

lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ,

who is the image of
GOD, should shine unto
them. (2Co 4:4 KJV)
Is when it applies to the devil when the Bible says "god

of this world." To understand why the Bible describes the
devil in this way we have to go back to the book of
Genesis. When GOD made Adam it was in his image and
likeness.
A ND GOD SAID , L ET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE ,

AFTER OUR LIKENESS : AND LET THEM HAVE
DOMINION OVER THE FISH OF THE SEA , AND OVER
THE FOWL OF THE AIR , AND OVER THE CATTLE ,

So when GOD created Adam he gave him dominion over

everything on earth as one man. Essentially Adam was a
"god" on the earth, although he was still subject to
YHWH GOD, still required to obey YHWH GOD's every
word. This is what was meant for Adam dominion over
everything upon earth. At this moment we can see we
can travel faster on land than any animal on earth. We
can fly faster than any animal on earth. We can travel
underwater faster and more efficiently than any animal
in the sea. No animal upon the face of the earth could
conquer mankind. But we sinned and fell from our
position and in relationship with GOD. The one thing
that that made us in the image of GOD was purity, and
the sinless example we were supposed to be.

We lost our position, instead of listening to YHWH we
listened to the serpent. And became servants to sin and
death. Which is why I believe is why it calls the devil "the
god of this world". And as we know when Yehoshua
(Jesus) is sitting at the right hand of GOD until all his
enemies are made his footstool and that includes the
devil.

So this example shows that even the human belly has

be applied to many things. But the most important part
of this truth is that it is a title that can be used in
different ways, and one of those ways is for humans to

The [Title] appellation God" as applied to Yehoshua

(Jesus) is not a name but an explanation of something
that is hard to explain, as in his being the Son of GOD
possesses Godlike qualities inherited from GOD his
Father. Inherited Godness from his Father.
With that in mind we must realize that some of the early

church Fathers understood that the word god could be
used for Yehoshua (Jesus) in this sense that he is the
final absolute appointed representative of GOD. So
when we read the writings of the early church Fathers,
just because they call Yehoshua (Jesus) God or the word
God does not necessarily mean they agree with the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
126
Trinity. They understood how the word God is being used

for Yehoshua (Jesus) as a title as opposed to calling him
the absolute YHWH. This misunderstanding in assuming
that the early church Fathers are agreeing with the
Trinity because they call Yehoshua (Jesus) God is one of
the reasons for great error. So as we look into the
writings of the early church Fathers we must always keep
in mind that they understood the many ways that the
word God could be used.

THE FOUNDATION OF CLAY
In this chapter I would like to examine the core

foundational statements of all the doctrine of the Trinity.
And from that we will look at Scriptures that disprove the
Trinity doctrine.
The most important parts of the Trinity doctrine are

these:
uncreated or not existing by creation
2.
are limitless
3.
are eternal.
4.
are omnipotent or Almighty.

6.
are one homoousios, as in they are of the "same

7.
One God in Trinity, and the Trinity in Unity.
Before we begin I would like to explain the rules for

obtaining doctrine.
First rule, the Scriptures are the only place to obtain
doctrine, and that is also the last rule.
For example if I were to be teaching the doctrine that
salvation is through grace and faith in Yehoshua (Jesus)
and not by works. I would need to supply supporting
Scriptures to prove that the Bible agrees with that
statement. The following Scriptures support this
doctrine.

KJV)
These verses clearly explain and supports the Christian

belief that it is by grace and not works that we are
saved. These verses are clear in its support for this
doctrine. It is not vague in any way. It leaves no room for
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
131
confusion. Although this verse and the others supporting

Salvation by grace alone existed in the bible during
the time when the Roman Catholic Church was literally
burning Jan Hus alive for teaching this doctrine. We must
acknowledge that it is possible for the majority of the
church to ignore very explicit and easy to understand
Scriptures concerning doctrines. And choosing instead to
follow the teachings of their highly acclaimed church
Leaders.
Ultimately I bring up this example because I want you to
see two things:
1.
What a biblically supported doctrine looks like
with its supporting Scriptures.

2.
How the church during the time of John Wycliffe,
Jan Hus, and Martin Luther openly ignored these versus

and put men to death in support of a false doctrine.
It is hard to believe that these errors could possibly still
exist in todays church. But we must acknowledge when
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
132
we see our doctrines are not supported by the Scriptures

and make a stand for truth just like John Wycliffe, Jan
Hus and Martin Luther did in their time.
I would also like to submit that biblical doctrine should
look like the example above. Where the Scripture clearly
spells out the doctrine. Where there is no room for
confusion. Do you believe that the Trinity doctrine is
supported scripturally in this way? If it is not supported
by Scripture will you continue to believe it?
Some may ask how the church adopted a
doctrine not supported by Scripture. Very easily, the
Catholic Church believed that the Pope was incapable of
making a mistake and also that anything he said became
doctrine. This Roman Catholic doctrine is called Papal
Infallibility.
Wikipedia

This belief is an open door to error. Did the Trinity

originate from this papal infallibility dogma? Given that
there are no versus supporting this doctrine, plus the
admission of theologians and scholars of the lack of
supportability in the New Testament. This doctrine may
have been birth in the mind of a Pope and accepted as
doctrine.
And now we will examine the claims of the
doctrine of the Trinity. And provide versus showing its
inconsistency with Scripture.

only have to prove that one of these three do not fall
into the category of uncreated. If one of these three is
proven contrary to this statement, the entire doctrine is
incorrect not just this point.
I would like to start in the book of Revelations, in the first

(Jesus) Christ in the following verses.

We can identify who it is the apostle John is speaking

with by the words
18
I am he that liveth, and was
dead. Only Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ qualifies for this

distinction. At this point Yehoshua (Jesus) is clearly the
one speaking to John. As we read Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ
is having John write letters to certain churches that
existed during that time. Each letter begins with an
identification of who these letters come from, he
identifies himself as

Now this last self-identification by Yehoshua (Jesus)

Christ about himself is the one I would like to focus on.
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ identifies himself as the
beginning of the creation of GOD. In this verse when it
says beginning it is meaning the first in a series. For
example the first baseball card in a series is number 1, it
can be also called the beginning of the series. Adam is
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
139
the beginning of mankind because he is the first in a

series.
18 A ND HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY , THE

CHURCH ; HE IS THE BEGINNING AND THE
FIRSTBORN FROM AMONG THE DEAD , SO THAT IN
EVERYTHING HE MIGHT HAVE THE SUPREMACY .
(C OL 1:18 NIV)
In this verse as well it is concerning Yehoshua (Jesus)

Christ, that he is the beginning and the firstborn from
among the dead. Not to be confused as though he is
not to be counted as one from the dead, but that he is
the first one from among the dead.
Now according to this verse Yehoshua (Jesus) is the first
of many to be resurrected from the dead. And if you
asked a Trinitarian about what this verse means, without
hinting that there is a Trinity question after that, they will
explain it plainly. But if you ask them about Revelations
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
140
3:14 they do not apply the same easy reading of the

text. The understanding becomes complicated and they
apply a different rule in the same context. This shows
you that the Trinitarians are rejecting Scripture, and
molding it into what they wanted to be, instead of
adjusting their doctrine to be in line with the Bible.
As we can see from these two verses how simply they
can be understood. But the interesting thing is how
certain teachers will do everything they can to deny the
simple reading of Revelation 3:14

as one of the creation. He is the first and the last. We

must not allow ourselves to complicate the plain words
in this verse. The Strongs Concordance number for the
word beginning is 746. The reason I provided the
Strongs Concordance number is so that before someone
can try to confuse you on the meaning of the word
beginning you can have a chance to read it according
to its Greek word number. For those of you who may not
know how the concordance works, it is simply the words
in the Greek are numbered and the full meaning of the
word in Greek is expressed. The reason this concordance
and others like it exist is to help the reader who does not
know Greek understand the full meaning of the word as
its understood to Greek speakers. This is helpful
because sometimes some things are lost in translation.
Or they have more meaning than what is expressed in
languages other than Greek.

Eliseo Rodriguez

145
usage of the word beginning in Revelation 3:14 is

there because what Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ is saying
about himself that is something specific. Not just that he
is a ruler over the creation of GOD. I believe the reason
he used the word beginning G746 and not ruler
G758 specifically because he was making a different
statement than that he is the ruler. He is saying that he
is the first, the highest, the starting of the creation of
GOD. It would have been easy enough for Yehoshua

(Jesus) Christ to have used the word ruler G758 to
prevent confusion, but he instead chose to use
beginning. And this understanding of Yehoshua (Jesus)
is not contrary to any verse in the Bible. But it is
contrary only to the doctrine of the Trinity which is not in
the Bible.

Here we see that Paul is calling Yehoshua (Jesus) the

firstborn of every creature. Now if the testimony of
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ calling himself the beginning of
the creation of GOD is not enough, or if you are looking
for another witness this is where you will find it, in the
apostle Paul. A few things that are interesting is that the
word firstborn it is a simple word that we all know
means the first born in a series of births. So here
Yehoshua (Jesus) is undoubtedly identified as the first
born of all of GODs creation.
Eliseo Rodriguez

147
This verse is plain whenever you read the Bible it does

not have to be super complicated. GOD is not a GOD of
confusion, when you read it for the first time GODs
power within you bears witness of the plain
understanding. And then when someone tries to explain
it to you in your mind, and confuses plain words for
complicated ones. That is when you leave spiritual
meanings the spiritual understanding and instead
replace it with the fleshly mind.

So when you see the plain words of the Bible being

twisted into something else far from what you can
understand, plainly read it may be the flesh trying to
explain spiritual things it does not understand.
So to conclude this portion I would like to submit that
any and every time Yehoshua (Jesus) is referred to as the
only begotten son of GOD it is a direct confirmation that
he exists because Yehoshua (Jesus) is the direct offspring
of GOD. May I also say that if Yehoshua (Jesus) were
uncreated then that would mean that he is not the son of
GOD. It would mean that he is not a son but rather

another uncreated being. Everyone knows what it takes
for someone to call a child there biological son or
daughter. Even if I were to adopt a child under no
circumstances [J3] can I say that he or she is my
biological child. Although he or she may be my child in
my heart, I would be lying if I were to say he or she were
my biological child. So also is it concerning GOD the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
149
Father if Yehoshua (Jesus) is not a direct descendent of

the Father and chooses to instead say that he is, it would
be a lie every single time the Bible identifies Yehoshua
(Jesus) as the Son of GOD.
Because the very word Son means that he
comes from the Father, it is safe to conclude that GOD
the Father of all had to exist prior to his sons existence
to actually be from GOD the Father of all. It means his
existence springs forth from GOD as his child which
means his beginning comes from his Father and now he
is a separate being. The main point for this section is
that he has a beginning. In fact every place Yehoshua
(Jesus) is called the Son of GOD it is declaring his
creation every time, as part of his identity. It is common
sense that to be called the Son of GOD means GOD is
your Father and you are born from him. Anyone who
confuses these plain words has an agenda, and is lying.

(1C O 15:45 NAS)
To begin with this verse is the undisputed verse that

proves that Yehoshua (Jesus) had a beginning. In the
English this verse seems unassuming and without
doctrinal substance. In the Greek the word became
means to come into existence...
<1096> (GINOMAI)
MEANING: TO COME INTO BEING, TO HAPPEN , TO
BECOME [ VII ]
In the beauty of this verse is that the word became

<G1096> exists only one time in the verse in Greek.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
152
And the meaning as it applies to both Adams are the

same. GOD has constructed in this verse an
impossibility for misunderstanding. Whatever the
meaning is for became must be relevant and share the
same meaning for both.
And as we know Adam did not come into being without

being created, since the word is shared for both Adam
and Yehoshua (Jesus). Paul is equating the way Adam
was created or came into existence with Yehoshua
(Jesus). Because the word became only exists one
time in the sentence and is shared in the explanation for
both Yehoshua (Jesus) and Adam, you cannot change its
meaning for one and not the other.
So if a Trinitarian is to say that when it applies to

Yehoshua (Jesus) it means he came from a previous
existence and not truly created, then you would have to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
153
apply that definition to Adam as well. Meaning that you

are essentially saying that Adam was not created but
that he came from an existence into his body. And you
would also be saying that essentially Adam has no
beginning. But we know that this is incorrect Adam is a
created being and has an existence with his creation
first.
So this cannot be the definition of the word, we know
the beginning of Adam so the usage cannot contradict
Scripture concerning. But we must also not contradict
any verses concerning Yehoshua (Jesus). With that in
mind which verses are we contradicting if we say
Yehoshua (Jesus) has a beginning?
I do not find any verses that I would be contradicting if

Yehoshua (Jesus) is a created being. In fact I find verses
that confirm that Yehoshua (Jesus) is a created being.

No man has seen
GOD at any time; the only
begotten God , who is in the bosom of the

Father, He has explained Him. (Joh 1:18 NAS)
Begotten here means create an offspring. It is

amazing to see how Trinitarians will ignore and deny the
word begotten as though it means anything other than
be borne as a child with the beginning as created.. One
of the greatest indicators of false teaching is when
someone cannot explain or except a word that is easily
understood by the normal population. Anyone who will
not admit that beget or begotten means born son or
daughter is a liar. And will have to answer to GOD for
leading others with lies.
The most important question is not if Yehoshua (Jesus)
was created, but when was he created.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

155
18 No man has seen
GOD at any time; the only
begotten God, who is in the bosom of the

As we can see from this verse Yehoshua (Jesus) is

described as the only begotten God. This means that
Yehoshua (Jesus) has a beginning and that when he was
created or begotten whichever word you prefer, he was
made in the form of GOD. So when we understand this
verse we realize that Yehoshua (Jesus) has a beginning,
and was begotten, as in came into existence, was born
in the form of GOD.
Just for the sake of argument the oldest text or

manuscript in existence which is P66 (200 c.e.)has this
reading. With this verse the doctrine of the Trinity is
proven to be false. The doctrine of the Trinity says that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is uncreated and the Bible says that
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
156
Yehoshua (Jesus) is created. GOD the Father is

unbegotten Yehoshua (Jesus) is begotten. This is not
something that I inserted into the Bible it has been there
and it has been ignored by a majority of the church since
the Council of Nicaea. It is common sense that you
cannot be begotten and unbegotten at the same time,
Yehoshua (Jesus) is the begotten God, and on the other
hand GOD the Father is the one true GOD who is
unbegotten.
Remember when we looked at the time of the

Reformation when John Wyclif and Jan Hus and Martin
Luther began speaking against salvation through
payment? I am sure that the Roman Catholic Church had
some excuse or explanation as to why they thought that
these men were inaccurately reading the Bible. And now
from our time we can view and judge what was said
according to the Bible. And the ruling is as far as the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
157
Protestants are concerned is that the Roman Catholic

Church was not teaching biblical doctrine.
Where did the doctrine of the Trinity come? It originated
from the Catholic Church, for a people who are so
diametrically opposed to the teachings and beliefs of the
Catholic Church, I am continually astonished at our blind
faith in this doctrine from such an apostate church.
To wrap this portion of explanation up:
GOD Almighty the Father of all is uncreated, has no

beginning, on the other hand Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ the
Word of GOD the only begotten Son G3439 of GOD, is the
beginning G746 and the firstborn G4416 of the creation of
GOD who was made G2227 from the Father who existed
before him.

THE FATHER,
THE
SON,
AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT
ARE LIMITLESS
In this section I would like to examine the limitlessness

claim of the doctrine of the Trinity. To disprove this clause
in the doctrine of the Trinity, I must show that at least
one of these three are limited. What do I mean by
limited? When you are not able to do something it
reveals a limitation. Limits are boundaries that someone
cannot cross without violating or offending a law or
person. If you are not a member of a club you are not
allowed access to the benefits of that club because you
are not a member. So you are limited from accessing
those benefits without membership. Like the borders of
sovereign nations, a foreign military cannot fly its
military planes over another countries airspace without
prior knowledge and permission unless you seek war. It
is a limitation that almost every nation has upon other
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
159
nations. Whatever the reasons for the limitation it does

not matter as long as it exists.
So again Im going to show that Yehoshua (Jesus)
is limited in what he knows, in how he is addressed, and
what he does regardless of how he feels about it. I will
show you that Yehoshua (Jesus) cannot do certain things.
And if I can prove even one example of Yehoshua (Jesus)
being limited in anything. Then the doctrine of the Trinity
not just this part is incorrect.
36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man,
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father
only. (Mat 24:36 KJV) and 32 "But of that day
or hour no one knows, not even the angels in
heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone.
(Mar 13:32 NAS)
These verses are a great example of Yehoshua (Jesus)s
limitations. Yehoshua (Jesus) is testifying to the world
that there are things that he does not know. What is
amazing to me is that the servants of Yehoshua (Jesus),
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
160
his church do not accept what Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying

here as truth. If the Pharisees were saying that Yehoshua
(Jesus) does not know we should question it of course.
But we know that Yehoshua (Jesus) is not a liar. And
because Yehoshua (Jesus) is not a liar he is truly not
aware of when he is returning. I can provide a Scripture
that says he does not know, can any of those who
oppose my explanation of the word provide a verse to
support what they claim? Because all I am doing is
reading the Bible for what it says and believing it and not
adding to it some strange interpretation.
Well some might say it does not say Yehoshua (Jesus) in
this verse. According to the oldest Text of the bible
written 1600 years ago, the words neither the Son [viii]
are supposed to be included in the verse here. [ix]

32 But of that day and that hour knoweth no

man, no, not the angels which are in heaven,
neither the Son, but the Father. (Mar 13:32

The book of Mark as shown above has the full verse with
the neither the son included.
17 And when he was gone forth into the way,

there came one running, and kneeled to him,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
162
and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do

that I may inherit eternal life?
18 And Yehoshua (Jesus) said unto him, Why
callest thou me good? there is none good but
one, that is,
GOD.
(Mar 10:17-18 KJV)
Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying that calling him good is not

the right thing to say. Yehoshua (Jesus) is showing that
there are some things that can be said of the Father that
he is not allowed to be called. Yehoshua (Jesus) is
proving that he's not capable of receiving this kind of
description it is reserved for the Father alone. So when
someone tries to say that Yehoshua (Jesus) was
worshiped like GOD Almighty is worshiped this verse
proves that Yehoshua (Jesus) is not going to accept
praise and worship that actually goes to the Father. And
he is not including himself in his concept of GOD.
Eliseo Rodriguez

23 And he saith unto them, Ye shall drink

indeed of my cup, and be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with: but to sit on
my right hand, and on my left, is not mine to
give, but it shall be given to them for whom it
is prepared of my Father. (Mat 20:23 KJV)
Yehoshua (Jesus) does not have the authority to sit
people on either side of him, GOD the Father has
determined that. This is the limitation that Yehoshua
(Jesus) does not have authority over this decision. This is
a plain verse coming from the very mouth of Yehoshua
(Jesus) Christ. Yehoshua (Jesus) is not a liar, he is not
telling half-truths, and he is not omitting something from
us. He is telling the plane truth he does not have the
authority its not his job, this has not been given to him
to do. So that by definition is a limitation. A limitation is
when you are not allowed to do something that others
can, and Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying he cannot do this,
there is someone else who exists that has the authority
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
164
to do something that Yehoshua (Jesus) does not. That

constitutes a limitation.
The truth is that this statement has to be true
somehow it cannot be a lie. And since its true and
cannot be a lie even if Yehoshua (Jesus) were limited for
a split second on anything then he is not limitless. If he
was limited once he does not fall into the category of
limitless. All Christianity must concede that these words
of Yehoshua (Jesus) are true in some way
13 And seeing a fig tree afar off having
leaves, he came, if haply he might fi nd
anything thereon: and when he came to it, he
found nothing but leaves; for the time of figs
was not yet. (Mar 11:13 KJV)
This is showing that Yehoshua (Jesus) is not GOD, he is

the son of GOD and he does not know all, he knows
what the Father tells him. Yehoshua (Jesus) walks up to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
165
this fig tree because he was hungry, and he wanted to

see if there was anything to eat off of it. When he got
there, there was nothing, because GOD did not reveal to
him that nothing was there before he decided to walk up
there and find nothing. If Yehoshua (Jesus) was GOD and
he was all-knowing he would not have even bothered
walking in that direction to look at the fig tree, if he is
GOD and knows all. But truly Yehoshua (Jesus) is not

GOD Almighty and he is not one of the Trinity and he is
limited in some knowledge. Yehoshua (Jesus) is the son
of GOD because the Bible says so over and over and
over again.
But some men will say "no its Yehoshua (Jesus) is

humanity that showing through" but where in the Bible
does it say that? It sounds good but why did Mark not
write "this was because Yehoshua (Jesus) was in his
humanity and not his Godness" why does none of the
apostles make that correction when we read this. None
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
166
of the Gospels provides a side note about the Trinity

here? And if we look there are other instances when the
Gospels will explain to us that Yehoshua (Jesus) knew
what they were thinking or that the apostles had not
fully understood yet. The Gospels do provide these kind
of side notations when something does not make sense.
But do they do this in any instance where they

speak about Yehoshua (Jesus) as the son of GOD? Or
when he is exposing his limitations or lack of knowing
certain things, does the gospel provide those notations?
The answer is no they do not provide those notations. So
where do the teachers who claim that it is just Yehoshua
(Jesus) in his human side and not his God side get that
doctrine? Is there a verse that they can confirm that
what they are saying is true? Because I am proving what
I'm reading because it's already plain in the verse.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
167
I'm reading the verse for what it says, I'm not adding to
it. Am I wrong for taking the word of GOD for face value?
Am I wrong for not adding to the verses of Scripture
ideas that are not supported by the verses? I would
rather choose to accept the word for what it says and
not adopt the doctrines of men. Unless they can support
it with a verse as explicit as the one I am reading. But as
we know there will not be a verse that supports that
strange doctrine...
4 And Yehoshua (Jesus) answered him, saying,

It is written, That man shall not live by bread
alone, but by every word of GOD. (Luk 4:4 KJV)
Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying here what I do is what
GOD tells me to do, and if GOD did not tell me to do this

than I am not going to do it. Yehoshua (Jesus) is not
going to use the gifts that GOD has given him for his
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
168
own personal gain. If GOD has not given Yehoshua

(Jesus) permission to use GOD's gifts in this way, he is
not allowed to do it. Which means that Yehoshua (Jesus)
has limitations to what he can do. He saying I live by
what GOD tells me to do, I don't do anything for my own
selfish gain. Even if it means being hungry on the 40th
day of fasting, with the ability to change stones into
bread, and not abusing GOD's gift as though it were his
own. But rather waiting until GOD provides for him
according to his will. This proves that Yehoshua (Jesus) is
not free to do whatever he wants to, he has limitations
because all power and authority that Yehoshua (Jesus)
retains is originally from the Father. And because of that
he cannot operate outside of the will of GOD Because
That Would Be sin. And that was the devil's temptation
to Yehoshua (Jesus) in that exchange. And another thing
GOD cannot be tempted.

plainly, Lazarus is dead.

15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was

not there, to the intent ye may believe;
nevertheless let us go unto him. (Joh 11:14-15

Yehoshua (Jesus) is explaining that he cannot be

everywhere at once. The testimony of Yehoshua (Jesus)
is true, if Yehoshua (Jesus) says he was not there, then it
means hes not there, not in spirit in truth, Yehoshua
(Jesus) was just not there. Now we know that GOD the
Father can be everywhere at once.
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I
shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fi ll

(Psa 139:7-10 KJV)
In this verse no one can not be seen by GOD, not even if
they go to heaven, or hell, or take off in the morning or
in the depths of the sea no one can not be seen by GOD
at any time. This is true of GOD Almighty but it is not
true of his son because as he says of himself I was not
there.
Eliseo Rodriguez

Does this mean that Yehoshua (Jesus) cannot save us

from our sins? Does this mean that because he has
limitations that he cannot be our King and Savior? If
someone tells you that, where is the verse that supports
such a preposterous claim? Where in the Bible does it
say that Yehoshua (Jesus) needs to be limitless to be our
Savior? It does not say that. If someone tries to convince
you that Yehoshua (Jesus) must be limitless to be Savior
and Lord and he or she cannot provide one solitary verse
to back up his or her claims you must question whether
or not they have really researched what theyre teaching
because they may be just repeating what they heard
other people say instead of researching.

(Luk 2:52 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

This verse reveals that they are not three in one,

because it says that Yehoshua (Jesus) increased in
wisdom and stature how could he increase in wisdom
and stature if he knows everything as GOD knows
everything? Also how can he increase in favor with GOD
if he is GOD? Can you increase in favor with yourself?
Does that characterize GOD as loving himself more
every day? No way, the easy and normal contextual
explanation is that Yehoshua (Jesus) the son of GOD is
increasing in favor with GOD because he is not GOD.
Because he is his son and he is learning and growing in
wisdom and stature. Yehoshua (Jesus) is on a learning
curve, he does not know all things he is learning, and
growing in wisdom because he does not have all
wisdom. There's nothing wrong with this at all, this does
not disqualify him for being the sacrifice for our sins.
Where in the Bible does it say that Yehoshua (Jesus)
must know all things and be GOD to save us from our
sins? It does not say that because it is not true. The only
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
173
thing that Yehoshua (Jesus) has to do to qualify as an

acceptable sacrifice before GOD is to be sinless. To be
sinless does not mean that you cannot not know
something, to be sinless does not mean that you do not
make mistakes like spill a cup, or poop your pamper.
Being sinless does not mean that you do not fail
sometimes at potty training. Being sinless does not
mean that every time you throw a baseball it's a perfect
throw. Being sinless does not mean that you never trip.
Being sinless does not mean that you never stub your
toe.
We must understand that it is a lie for someone
to say that Yehoshua (Jesus) was perfect in this way. The
way he was perfect was that he never violated the law of
GOD. Yehoshua (Jesus) was fully obedient to all of

GOD's will for him. We must understand above what
we've been taught that Yehoshua (Jesus) learns. This
Scripture is very clear what I'm teaching you is from this
verse, if somebody is going to teach you contrary to
Eliseo Rodriguez

what I say this verse is saying, please ask them to

you a better explanation for these simple words, and
provide versus that clearly spell out just as clearly as
this is spelled out.
GOD Almighty is limitless, Yehoshua (Jesus) is

limited in certain areas, he must learn certain
things, but he is the son of

In this section we will examine Yehoshua (Jesus) as

eternal. To begin with I would like to save us some time
and not reiterate Yehoshua (Jesus) being created.
According to the definition of eternal it means without
end and or beginning. Well we have established that
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
176
Yehoshua (Jesus) has a beginning in the Uncreated

section above. So he does not have qualifications to be
eternal because he has a beginning. GOD Almighty on
the other hand does not have a beginning, and does not
have an end. This section will be shorter than the rest
because it was addressed in another section. But what I
would like to provide for you is Scriptures that give you a
glimpse into how Yehoshua (Jesus) recognizes the
difference between him and GOD Almighty in Scripture
in regard to eternity.
18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and,
behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and
have the keys of hell and of death. (Rev 1:18
KJV)
In this verse Yehoshua (Jesus) is acknowledging that he

lived, and that he died, and that he will live on forever.
So when Yehoshua (Jesus) identifies himself in this way
he will always have the "was dead" attachment to him,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
177
because it is part of who he is. Yehoshua (Jesus) is not

eternal because he died once. But he is alive for
evermore which is as close as anyone will ever get to
being eternal. We all have a beginning, GOD the Father
has never had a beginning.
8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and

the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and
which was, and which is to come, the
Almighty. (Rev 1:8 KJV)
Here we see how the Eternal One is described very

differently. When Yehoshua (Jesus) is described the "was
dead" is added to his description and also the "liveth", as
opposed to how someone who is eternal is identified.
With the "which is" meaning he is existing in the present,
"which was" and he exists and all the past, "which is to
come" and he will exist in all that is to come. That is a
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
178
thorough definition of eternal. We can see that Yehoshua

(Jesus) is not eternal because he cannot be described in
this way. For Yehoshua (Jesus) "liveth" means he has a
beginning of his life, but he will exist for evermore. Just
as we who are in Christ will exist forever more with him.
So as we can see Yehoshua (Jesus) is not because he has
a beginning, and for three days he was dead, which is
the second reason why Yehoshua (Jesus) is not eternal.
We can plainly see how the doctrine of the Trinity ignores

verses and would rather promote doctrines of man
instead of accept truth of GODs word. And there is
nothing doctrinally wrong with Yehoshua (Jesus) not
being eternal. The Bible never teaches that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is eternal. Yehoshua (Jesus) can still be the Lamb
of GOD even though he is not eternal. Anyone who
states that Yehoshua (Jesus) must be eternal or coequal
or anything other than the Son of GOD who is come in
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
179
the flesh, who died for our sins and rose again is trying
to scare you into not leaving their doctrine.
Nowhere in the Bible does it say except the Trinity to be
safe, this is a lie. What does it say?
22 Who is a liar but he that denieth that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is the Christ? He is antichrist
that denieth the Father and the Son. (1Jo 2:22
KJV)
Trinitarians might say but I do not deny the Father or
the son. The problem is that Trinitarians deny that they
are only Father and son. Trinitarians add to this
statement that they are one. Just as in the story of Adam
and Eve if you add to the word of GOD it is no longer
pure and therefore error. You can deny that they are
Father and son and are two separate beings by calling
them something other than what they truly are like a
Trinity. Why does John not include the doctrine of the
Trinity here? I will tell you why, because they are not
intended to be understood as a Trinity instead they are
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words

supposed be understood that one is the Father and one

is the son.
Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits
whether they are of GOD: because many false prophets
are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of
GOD: Every
spirit that confesseth that Yehoshua (Jesus)

Christ is come in the flesh is of
GOD: (1Jo 4:1-
2 KJV)
These are identifiers that John is giving us. We must
have the confession that Yehoshua (Jesus) is come in the
flesh, and this is referring to coming from one place to
another. In other words coming from heaven into the
flesh.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ is come in the flesh is
not of
GOD: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
181
should come; and even now already is it in the

world. (1Jo 4:3 KJV)
And if we do not have this confession we should not
follow those individuals...
15 Whosoever shall confess that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is the Son of
him, and he in
GOD, GOD dwelleth in
GOD. (1Jo 4:15 KJV)
And also we must have a confession that Yehoshua

(Jesus) is the son of GOD, with nothing added to that
otherwise John would have included it. So we must not
add anything to the identity of Yehoshua (Jesus) nor take
away from the identity of Yehoshua (Jesus). He must be
the son of GOD nowhere in here doesnt mention that
you must believe that Yehoshua (Jesus) is a Trinity.
Anyone who declares that you must believe in a Trinity
to be saved is a liar.

omnipotent. To begin with I would like to say that GOD
Almighty is omnipotent, is the source of all authority and
power. Yehoshua (Jesus) is obedient, sinless, has proven
himself worthy through the trials and tribulation that he
is endured, and Yehoshua (Jesus) has been given the
authority and the power of GOD Almighty. And there is a
caveat, Yehoshua (Jesus) will not do anything without
seeing the Father do it first, so he is still subject to the
Fathers will. And that is a good thing.
19 Then answered Yehoshua (Jesus) and said
unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The
Son can do nothing of himself, but what he
seeth the Father do: for what things soever he
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
184
doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise. (Joh

5:19 KJV)
We know that we can trust Yehoshua (Jesus) to not abuse
his position, Yehoshua (Jesus) is not omnipotent because
he cannot operate as though he were without a higher
authority. And it is good that Yehoshua (Jesus) is a great
obedient son. And hes shown himself worthy through all
of his actions his worthiness. Yehoshua (Jesus) receives
such an awesome gift from GOD, in regard to all power
and all authority in heaven and earth. And Yehoshua
(Jesus) shows great wisdom by recognizing that he must
stay submitted to GOD even though he has been given
all things. The explanation of which will be expounded
upon in the next section.
18 And Yehoshua (Jesus) came and spake unto

them, saying, All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth. (Mat 28:18 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
185
Yehoshua (Jesus) has been given all power in

heaven and in earth, which would mean that the one
who had the authority to give him all that power is
greater than the one receiving all the power. Which
would mean that Yehoshua (Jesus) is subject to GOD
Almighty because GOD has given him all his authority.
Also if Yehoshua (Jesus) had to be given power and
authority than he did not possess that power and
authority for him to be given it, he could not have
already owned it. Although now he does retain all power
and authority, we must not forget that it was given to
him, we must also remember that he is worthy to
possess that power and authority. For all the sacrifice
and obedience that Yehoshua (Jesus) displayed he has
proven himself worthy to wield all the power given unto
him.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
186
Yehoshua (Jesus) is not omnipotent because he does not

have any power that is of his own all of it has been gifted
to him from the Father. The doctrine of the Trinity states
that the Father the son spirit are all omnipotent but this
is not true Yehoshua (Jesus) is not omnipotent he derives
all of his authority and all his power from the Father
making the Father the all-powerful uncreated one;
Yehoshua (Jesus) is relying on the Father to supply all of
the power and the authority for him to operate.

THE FATHER,
THE
SON,
AND THE

ARE COEQUAL AS IN EQUAL WITH ONE

ANOTHER .
28 And when all things shall be subdued unto

him, then shall the Son also himself be
subject unto him that put all things under him
that
GOD may be all in all. (1Co 15:28 KJV)
Everything will fall under Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, GOD

Almighty will cause all things to fall under Yehoshua
(Jesus). And when all things fall under the authority of
Yehoshua (Jesus), Yehoshua (Jesus) will fall under the
authority of GOD. So that GOD may be over all at all
times. So this is a gift GOD is giving to his son Yehoshua
(Jesus). The entire kingdom of GOD, and when GOD has
fully given the kingdom to Yehoshua (Jesus), he will bow
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
188
down and fall under the authority of the one who gave
him the kingdom, so that GOD Almighty is always the
head.
61 But he held his peace, and answered
nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and
said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of
the Blessed?
62 And Yehoshua (Jesus) said, I am: and ye
shall see the Son of man sitting on the right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of
heaven.
(Mar 14:61-62 KJV)
Here Yehoshua (Jesus) has an opportunity to teach the

doctrine of the Trinity and Yehoshua (Jesus) does not.
Yehoshua (Jesus) knows that what he's about to say is
going to anger and frustrate these people. And he
explains everything that needs to be explained here.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
189
Yehoshua (Jesus) confirms that yes he is the Christ the

son of GOD, and he says that they shall see Yehoshua
(Jesus) coming on the right hand of power. Now if he is
GOD why is he not saying "I am going to return on my

throne with all power and authority and coming in the
clouds of heaven?" That would've been proving that the
Trinity is true and that he is THE HIGHEST GOD.
But he does not say this he says I'm coming at

the right hand of power, which means I'm not the
ultimate power here but I'm coming with his full
authority. He saying I'm coming with authority and power
and might from my Father who gives me these things.
This is what Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying but that's not
what the Pharisees heard, just like some Trinitarian's do
not understand what Yehoshua (Jesus) is saying.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
190
Yehoshua (Jesus) and the apostles described

Yehoshua (Jesus) and elevate him as far up as possible
over all principalities and powers and authorities, but
they stopped short at the throne of GOD Almighty his
Father. A servant can never be greater than he is master.
This applies to Yehoshua (Jesus) and the Father as well,
Yehoshua (Jesus) can never have more authority or
strength or power then his Father.
39 And he went a little further, and fell on his

face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be
possible, let this cup pass from me:
nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
(Mat 26:39 KJV)
If any verse exists that fully shows that Yehoshua (Jesus)

is subject to the Father and is under the Father's
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
191
authority is this verse. When Yehoshua (Jesus) would

rather do something else and expressed that to the
Father but ultimately does the Father's will regardless of
how he feels about it in his flesh. In other words he is
obedient to a higher authority.
"Truly, truly, I say to you, a slave is not

greater than his master; NEITHER IS ONE WHO
IS SENT GREATER THAN THE
ONE WHO SENT
HIM . (Joh 13:16 NAS)
This verse also easily explains that Yehoshua (Jesus) is

not greater than the Father. The doctrine of the Trinity
claims that they are equal that they are all equal that no
one is above the other. But this verse from the mouth of
Yehoshua (Jesus) explains that this is untrue of Yehoshua
(Jesus), because Yehoshua (Jesus) is SENT from the
Father (that is undeniable truth) and the Father therefore
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
192
is greater than the son. This truth destroys the notion

that the doctrine of the Trinity has that they are coequal.

From this verse we understand that GOD the Father is

the ultimate and highest authority truly GOD. In this
verse we see that even Yehoshua (Jesus) is a witness to
the fact that the Father is the only true GOD. In this
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
206
verse the word GOD includes authority, position, the

aspects of GOD uncreated and GOD being all powerful.
This is true. No god has ever existed like the Father
who is uncreated, all powerful, and omniscient and the
source of all things. Yehoshua (Jesus) is created in the
form of GOD but is dependent on the Father for
existence, all ability and all authority that is given unto
him. This verse reveals than there will be no other GOD
like the Father. Yehoshua (Jesus) who exists in the form
of GOD, after his image and likeness is inferior to the
uncreated GOD. As Yehoshua (Jesus) bears witness
3 "A ND THIS IS ETERNAL LIFE , THAT THEY MAY

Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
207
This is Yehoshua (Jesus) fulfilling Isa 43:10 that there is

no other like the Father not even himself. Apostle Paul
confirms this in that he says
6 who, although He existed in the form of
GOD, did not regard equality with GOD a thing

to be grasped, (Phi 2:6 NAS)
Yehoshua (Jesus) who although existed in the form of
GOD, he understood that he could never and was never

equal with The True Uncreated Almighty GOD.
3 "You shall have no other gods before Me.
(Exo 20:3 NAS)
We must not place anyone even Yehoshua (Jesus) up to
the level of THE HIGHEST his Father the uncreated
Almighty GOD. Yehoshua (Jesus) is not equal with the
Uncreated GOD but serves him.
8 But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God,
is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter
is the scepter of His kingdom.

9 "Thou hast loved righteousness and hated

lawlessness; Therefore God, Thy GOD, hath
anointed Thee With the oil of gladness above
Thy companions." (Heb 1:8-9 NAS)
And also we see Yehoshua (Jesus) calls The Almighty his
GOD, whom he serves.

12 'H E WHO OVERCOMES , I WILL MAKE HIM A

AND
MY

As we can see Yehoshua (Jesus) is in agreement as it was

prophesied in Isaiah 43:10 that there is none like the
Almighty nor ever will there be another. Yehoshua (Jesus)
has never claimed to be the Almighty. But when the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
209
doctrine of the Trinity unfoundedly elevates Yehoshua

(Jesus) to the Level of the Father this is Idolatry, this
notion violates Isa 43:10.

coming and the events that are going to take place
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

210
Yehoshua (Jesus) does not know all like the Uncreated

32 B UT OF THAT DAY AND THAT HOUR KNOWETH
NO MAN , NO , NOT THE ANGELS WHICH ARE IN
HEAVEN , NEITHER THE

(M AR 13:32 KJV)
As we can see Yehoshua (Jesus) is not like the uncreated

He does not know all, but only what his Father has
revealed to him.
9 R EMEMBER THE FORMER THINGS OF OLD : FOR I

AM
GOD ,
AND THERE IS NONE ELSE ;
AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME ,
I AM GOD ,
(I SA 46:9 KJV)
There is none equal to the Father no not even the

divinely born Son. Yehoshua (Jesus) expounds on this
truth in Matthew

So The Proper view of the Father is AS the Highest One

with none higher. Jesus is his Son a born God but is
powerless without his Father. GOD is unchangeable,
eternal, Almighty, Supreme, and the GOD of Gods.
17 "For the LORD your
GOD is the GOD of Gods
and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty,

and the awesome
GOD who does not show
partiality, nor take a bribe. (Deu 10:17 NAS)
As we can see anything that can be called God is under

the authority of the Almighty, Which is why it says that
the Almighty is the GOD of Gods. So this shows that
there is a category of beings who can and have been
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
212
named God and all of them are under the authority of

the Almighty GOD. What we must understand is that
calling something God is not blasphemy. What the word
means in your heart is what matters. GOD as in the
Highest Being or God as in a title of the highest servant
of GOD. When God is used for Yehoshua it is in the lower
sense of the word.
28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard,
that the everlasting
GOD, the LORD, the
Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not,

neither is weary? There is no searching of his
understanding. (Isa 40:28 KJV)
According to this verse GOD is eternal or Everlasting.
GOD Almighty is the only One who holds this

description. Yehoshua is different he has a beginning.
45 And so it is written, The fi rst man Adam
was made a living soul; the last Adam was
made a quickening spirit. (1Co 15:45 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

213
Here as we have already pointed out shows Yehoshua

was brought into existence or more simply created.
This means he has a beginning, another witness
No man has seen GOD at any time; the only
This verse reveals a lot about Yehoshua, First that no one
has ever seen the Almighty GOD, and this is clear
according to this verse. Which means that Yehoshua is
who people have seen when they claimed to see GOD.
Because Yehoshua reveals GOD to humanity, one reason
is because if GOD Almighty showed up, all of creation
would not be able to stand in his presence. Also in this
verse is Yehoshua being called begotten or more
simply born God. Which means he has a birth, a
beginning additionally he was born as a God this is clear
from this verse. So the differences between Yehoshua
and GOD Almighty are stark contrasts one is created
and the other Uncreated and Eternal. This one reason
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
214
why Yehoshua knows he could never be equal with GOD

as it says in Phil 2:6
GOD, did not regard equality with GOD a

thing to be grasped, (Phi 2:6 NAS)
Equality with the Eternal GOD is not graspable for a
created being. Now we can clearly understand this bible
verse.
8 And the four beasts had each of them six
wings about him; and they were full of eyes
within: and they rest not day and night,
saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord GOD Almighty,
which was, and is, and is to come. (Rev 4:8
KJV)
This shows GODS eternal status. Yehoshua has a
different status.

18 and the living One; and I was dead, and

behold, I am alive forevermore , and I have the
keys of death and of Hades. (Rev 1:18 NAS)
Jesus has was dead attached to his identity very
different from the Almighty GOD.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great
multitude, and as the voice of many waters,
and as the voice of mighty thunderings,
saying, Alleluia: for the Lord GOD omnipotent

Omnipotent means having unlimited power GOD
almighty is the only One to possess this. Not Even
Yehoshua hold this status.
17 And it came about one day that He was
teaching; and there were some Pharisees and
teachers of the law sitting there, who had

Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
216
Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

(Luk 5:17 NAS)
This verse shows that GODS power was present for
Yehoshua. This is an example of how Yehoshua needs
GOD Almighty to perform things. Along with power,
authority does not originate from Yehoshua himself but
GOD gives it to Yehoshua.

18 And Jesus came up and spoke to them,
saying, "All authority has been given to Me in
heaven and on earth. (Mat 28:18 NAS)
This shows that if Yehoshua was given this there was a
time he did not possess all Authority. A time of a when
Yehoshua was without authority. Very different From the
Almighty who is omnipotent and All Powerful. Although
Yehoshua is the only born God, he is not eternal or All
powerful, all he possess was given to him from the
Almighty.

When was he created?
22 The Lord made me as the start of his way,
the fi rst of his works in the past.
23 From eternal days I was given my place,
from the birth of time, before the earth was.
24 When there was no deep I was given birth,
when there were no fountains flowing with
water.
25 Before the mountains were put in their
places, before the hills was my birth:

26 When he had not made the earth or the

fi elds or the dust of the world.
27 When he made ready the heavens I was
there: when he put an arch over the face of
the deep:
28 When he made strong the skies overhead:
when the fountains of the deep were fixed:
29 When he put a limit to the sea, so that the
waters might not go against his word: when
he put in position the bases of the earth:
30 Then I was by his side, as a master
workman: and I was his delight from day to
day, playing before him at all times;

(Pro 8:22-36 BBE)
The words when there was no deep I was given birth
shows this birth occurred before Gen 1:2.
2 And the earth was waste and without form;
and it was dark on the face of the deep: and
the Spirit of GOD was moving on the face of
the waters. (Gen 1:2 BBE)

The deep and the waters exist at this time, so the birth
of Yehoshua was before this. Since also Yehoshua made
all that exists.
3 All things came into existence through him,
and without him nothing was. (Joh 1:3 BBE)
Now the famous verse of John makes perfect sense.

16 For GOD so loved the world that he gave

his only begotten Son, that whosoever
believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. (Joh 3:16 KJV)
Adam is also called the son of GOD, why is Jesus called
the only begotten son of GOD?
38 Which was the son of Enos, which was the
son of Seth, which was the son of Adam,
which was the son of
GOD. (Luk 3:38 KJV)
Let us begin by saying that although Jesus is the

beginning or firstborn of the creation of GOD. He is not
the same as all other creatures. Jesus is the only
begotten son of GOD. The reason Jesus is identified in
this way is because he is the only direct descendent of
GOD. All other created things come through Jesus

according to the direction of the Father. The only
exception to that rule is Jesus Christ himself, who began
directly from the only true GOD the Father with none in
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
227
between. So the order would be the Father GOD

Almighty Uncreated is First, above all, secondly is Jesus
Christ the only begotten Son who exists by the will of the
Father of all, and thirdly the whole of all creation existing
by the will of the Father of all, The whole creation who
was created through the Word the only begotten Son. So
as we can see there is only one who is the direct
descendent of the Father, only one who can claim that
title and that is Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Word of
GOD.
And now I must prove with Scriptures these
statements and I would like to begin with the famous
John 3:16.
16 For
GOD so loved the world that he gave
his only begotten Son, that whosoever

believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life. (Joh 3:16 KJV)
The word only begotten son is the Strongs
Concordance number G3439. And it means only of its
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
228
kind, and its usually used for when it speaks of an

only child. We can see how the usage of this word
confirms that Jesus is the only direct descendent of
GOD, all others come through Jesus Christ by the will

of GOD The Father of all. To be a descendent means
that you come from the original, who in this case is
GOD Almighty the uncreated.
15 Who is the image of the invisible
GOD, the

HISTORICAL ANOMALIES
This chapter will be dedicated to the examining of the

early church Fathers and where the Trinity doctrine
originated if not from Yehoshua (Jesus) and the apostles.
Where did the doctrine of the Trinity begin? The

majority of this chapter will be dedicated to the historical
record. I am of the opinion that the doctrine of the Trinity
is not explicitly taught in the New Testament. This reason
is my first indication that it may not be a valid teaching
of the apostles. I am aware that statement will be
contested. But I would like to dedicate this chapter to
historical evidence.
I cannot chronicle all the historical information available.
But what I do want to do is lay the foundation that the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
247
church understanding of the relationship between GOD

the Father and Yehoshua (Jesus) was not Trinitarian. And I
will do that by focusing on early Christian writings. With
that desire I search the early Christian writings for
evidence of the doctrines held by the early church.
The Catholic Church has always claimed that the early
church Fathers agreed with the view of the Trinity. But
Im going to prove that the early church Fathers did not
ever agree with the doctrine of the Trinity. This is the last
constructed foundation that the doctrine of the Trinity
was attempting to stand upon. With the removal of the
early church Fathers from having a Trinitarian view to
having a different view altogether this proves that the
doctrine of the Trinity was not held by the apostles or by
Yehoshua (Jesus).

IGNATIUS 56 A.D.
The first man I would like to introduce you to is Ignatius,
believed to be borne in 56 A.D. and believed to have
been martyred at 110 A.D... So let us get a timeline
here, Yehoshua (Jesus) was crucified at 30 A.D. and the
apostle John was believed to be martyred in around 98
A.D. So Ignatius was born 26 years after Yehoshua
(Jesus) died and was martyred eight years after the
apostle John. So this gentleman lived during the time of
the apostles, his whole existence was watching the
church of Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ exploding around the
world. And the martyrdom of Christianity first-hand.
I believe that his writings would be a great source to
learn the point of view of the church during the apostles
ministry. Let us examine what I feel are the important
parts in terms of how Christ was viewed during the time
of the apostles.

OF
"THE MARKS
CHRIST " IN HIS FLESH [8]
We begin with Ignatius is living in the time of the

apostles and in this letter he is cautioning against false
doctrine. The most striking part of this paragraph is the
list of lies from the ministers of Satan.
False doctrine:
1.
That Yehoshua (Jesus) was born only in
appearance, meaning that someone was teaching

that Yehoshua (Jesus) was not really born human
it was just an illusion. This means we can't say
that Yehoshua (Jesus) wasn't truly born in the
flesh. [9]
2.
That Yehoshua (Jesus) was crucified in
appearance, meaning that Yehoshua (Jesus) really
didn't die on the cross it was all just an illusion.
It's interesting to me is that doctrine of the Trinity
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
251
teaches that Yehoshua (Jesus) is fully GOD and

that he is eternal as the Father is. But if Yehoshua
(Jesus) is GOD then did he really die or was an
illusion? Because as we all know to be eternal
means you cannot die. [10]
3.
That Yehoshua (Jesus) died in appearance,
meaning that Yehoshua (Jesus) really didn't die
but that it was an illusion.
4.
That he is not the Son the creator, means
that they were teaching that GOD did not create
the worlds through Yehoshua (Jesus). This is an
obvious lie, the worlds were created through
Yehoshua (Jesus).
5.
And others that he is himself GOD over
all, and this is the one that I want to focus on.
Ignatius is saying that anyone who is saying that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is himself GOD over all his
teaching false doctrine.
6.
That he is a mere man, some were
teaching that Yehoshua (Jesus) was just a man. I
also do not agree that Yehoshua (Jesus) was a
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
252
mere man but that he is the only begotten

Godlike Son.
7.
That this flesh is not to rise again, some
were teaching that there is no resurrection and
because there is no resurrection they must live a
life of pleasure. Sounds like an excuse to do what
feels good.
The Bible itself tells the story of how the Jewish people
of that day persecuted believers in Christ. And obviously
the early church suffered a high number of martyrdom.
Not exactly sure how many Christians were killed at the
hands of the Jews of that day. But if the number was high
enough in the number of leaders were killed faster than
their replacement then I can see how some of the
original teaching might be lost. Although it is a
possibility there are no definite numbers of the rate of
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
253
leadership being killed and the rate of replacement

teachers. But GOD has always had a remnant, the
church has always grown rapidly under persecution.
During the time of the early church there were Gnostics
who came in and tried to pervert the gospel. And it looks
like they were being somewhat successful, because the
apostles had to address these lies that were creeping
into the church.
THE PHRASE "AND THE WORD BECAME FLESH , AND

DWELT AMONGST US " IS GENERALLY SEEN AS BEING
AGAINST DOCETISM , A BELIEF THAT MANY
HELD THAT THE HUMAN NATURE OF
GNOSTICS
YEHOSHUA
(JESUS) WAS ILLUSORY, AS THE PERFECT SAVIOUR

Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
254
The Gnostics did not believe that Yehoshua (Jesus) had a

human nature, so they rejected that part of it and said it
was only an illusion. They believe that Yehoshua (Jesus)
came and looked like a man but was not really a man. So
what the Gnostics were trying to do was to take away his
humanity completely and say it was just an illusion.
What I believe happened was that the Gnostics
understood that the apostles made it very clear that if
you are to deny that Yehoshua (Jesus) came in the flesh
that, doctrine is not of GOD.
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that

Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ is come in the flesh is
not of
GOD: and this is that spirit of
antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it

should come; and even now already is it in the
world. (1Jo 4:3 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
255
But what I understand is that the Trinitarian doctrine

says Yehoshua (Jesus) is 100% man and 100% GOD. But
that doesn't make sense, how can GOD be 100% a
created being? How can GOD make himself less than
who he is? What I think is happening is that the Gnostic
view is being married to the original view that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is a man. Because there is no way to get around
this verse in 1 John 4:3 they had to come up with
something to stay in accordance with this verse and the
idea that he is GOD Almighty. Let us look at the verse
objectively, John does not indicate in this verse that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is GOD, or that Yehoshua (Jesus) is one
of the three beings that consist of GOD. Why is John only
concerned with Yehoshua (Jesus) being recognized as
truly being in the flesh, and not clarifying that he is also
GOD. As I said before there must always be a

clarification by the apostles for the doctrine of the
Trinity, when they speak of GOD or Yehoshua (Jesus).
This is another one of those thorns in the doctrine of the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
256
Trinity. Nowhere in this verse is the Trinity clarified or

explained or even hinted at. I think that is because it's
not supposed to be in there, the apostle did not write
concerning the tri-unity of GOD because there is no triunity of GOD. All we can gather from this verse is that
anyone who does not acknowledge that Yehoshua (Jesus)
was a flesh man is not of GOD. Now if the apostle John
was a Trinitarian you would think the Apostle John would
write the verse like this
"and every spirit that confesses not that Yehoshua

(Jesus) Christ is come in the flesh and is also GOD is not
of GOD"
This would be a more clear way of explaining the Trinity

and the fact that he must be acknowledged as come in
the flesh. That is the way it should be in a Trinitarian
world. But it is not that way, and there are many
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
257
examples like this where there are omissions of

acknowledging the Trinity that go completely ignored.
One reason could be that they did not hold the doctrine
of the Trinity and may not have even known about it and
did not feel the need to address something that did not
exist.
I believe that the Trinitarian doctrine is part of the

doctrine of Gnosticism.
What I see happening is that right after Yehoshua (Jesus)

ascended into heaven, and abundance of heresies
flooded the church trying to derail the success of the
true doctrine. And apparently it successfully integrated
itself into what is now known as the Catholic Church.
Now as you can imagine some of the Christians did not
follow the errors of the main leadership. And there was a
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
258
constant arguing and battle over doctrine in the

centuries following the death of the apostles. This was
because the apostles had the authority to confirm or
deny a doctrine. But after they died anyone and
everyone wanted to be recognized as the authority or
judge in the apostles place.

PAPIAS [A.D. 70-155.]
Fragments of Papias
V.2
As the presbyters say, then3 those who are deemed

worthy of an abode in heaven shall go there, others shall
enjoy the delights of Paradise, and others shall possess
the splendour of the city; 4 for everywhere the Saviour
will be seen, according as they shall be worthy who see
Him. But that there is this distinction between the
habitation of those who produce an hundred-fold, and
that of those who produce sixty-fold, and that of those
who produce thirty-fold; for the first will be taken up into
the heavens, the second class will dwell in Paradise, and
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
260
the last will inhabit the city; and that on this account the
Lord said, "In my Father's house are many mansions:"5
for all things belong to GOD, who supplies all with a
suitable dwelling-place, even as His word says, that a
share is given to all by the Father,6 according as each
one is or shall be worthy. And this is the couch7 in which
they shall recline who feast, being invited to the
wedding. The presbyters, the disciples of the apostles,
say that this is the gradation and arrangement of those
who are saved, and that they advance through steps of
this nature; and that, moreover, they ascend through the
Spirit to the Son, and through the Son to the Father; and
that in due time the Son will yield up His work to the
Father, even as it is said by the apostle, "For He must
reign till He hath put all enemies under His feet. The last
enemy that shall be destroyed is death."8 For in the
times of the kingdom the just man who is on the earth
shall forget to die. "But when He saith all things are
put under Him, it is manifest that He is excepted
which did put all things under Him. And when all
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
261
things shall be subdued unto Him, then shall the

Son also Himself be subject unto Him that put all
things under Him, that
GOD may be all in all."9
Here we see that the understanding of this early church

Father, is that GOD the Father will place, Yehoshua (Jesus)
under himself that GOD the Father may be supreme over
all things including Yehoshua (Jesus) himself. This is proof
that the early church did not hold to a view that Yehoshua
(Jesus) and the Father are coequal as the doctrine of the
Trinity claims is the truth. We must remember that this man
lived during the time of the apostles, and he has known
connections to the disciples of John the apostle.

THE FIRST APOLOGY
OF JUSTIN
[A.d. 110-165.] Justin was a Gentile, but born in

Samaria, near Jacob's well. He must have been well
educated: he had travelled extensively, and he seems
to have been a person enjoying at least a competence.
After trying all other systems, his elevated tastes and
refined perceptions made him a disciple of Socrates
and Plato. So he climbed towards Christ. As he himself
narrates the story of his conversion, it need not be
anticipated here. What Plato was feeling after, he
found in Yehoshua (Jesus) of Nazareth. The conversion
of such a man marks a new era in the gospel history.
The sub-apostolic age begins with the first Christian
author,--the founder of theological literature. It
introduced to mankind, as the mother of true
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
264
philosophy, the despised teaching of those Galileans to

whom their Master had said, "Ye are the light of the
world."
CHAPTER XXI.--ANALOGIES
TO THE HISTORY OF
CHRIST.
And when we say also that the Word, who is the firstbirth1 of
GOD, was produced without sexual union,
and that He, Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, our Teacher, was

crucified and died, and rose again, and ascended into
heaven, we propound nothing different from what you
believe regarding those whom you esteem sons of
Jupiter.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
265
Here we see that Justin does not have a problem

explaining that Yehoshua (Jesus) was born. Justin does
not have a problem explaining that Yehoshua (Jesus) has
a beginning. The doctrine of the Trinity says that all
three are uncreated but this early church Father is
explaining contrary to that notion that the doctrine of
the Trinity asserts. So what we must deduce from this is
that the doctrine of the Trinity is not held at this point.
But the actual view of Yehoshua (Jesus) is that of having
a beginning. Not as though he has any eternal
begetting. But that he was born that must be
understood.
CHAPTER XXII.--A NALOGIES
TO THE SONSHIP OF
CHRIST.
Moreover, the Son of
GOD called Yehoshua (Jesus),
even if only a man by ordinary generation, yet, on
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
266
account of His wisdom, is worthy to be called the Son

of
GOD; for all writers call GOD the Father of men
and Gods. And if we assert that the Word of GOD was

born of
GOD in a peculiar manner, different from
ordinary generation, let this, as said above
Here we see yet another example of the view of the

early church. They viewed the Word of GOD who we
know is Yehoshua (Jesus) as born of GOD. Meaning he
was given birth from GOD directly. This is how the early
church Fathers were taught to believe by the apostles.
CHAPTER XXIII.--T HE
ARGUMENT .
And that this may now become evident to you-(firstly3) that whatever we assert in conformity with
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
267
what has been taught us by Christ, and by the

prophets who preceded Him, are alone true, and are
older than all the writers who have existed; that we
claim to be acknowledged, not because we say the
same things as these writers said, but because we say
true things: and (secondly) that Yehoshua (Jesus)
Christ is the only proper Son who has been begotten
by GOD, being His Word and first-begotten, and power;
and, becoming man according to His will,
Again we see that the early church understands

Yehoshua (Jesus) as being born from GOD. And that he
is GODs firstborn or first created being. What we are
seeing is the teaching that we have lost because we
have believed the doctrine of the Trinity to be true which
says that Yehoshua (Jesus) does not have a beginning
according to its creed. But the early church Fathers did
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
268
not hold to that teaching and understood that Yehoshua

(Jesus) had a beginning and that it had to be
acknowledged. The doctrine of the Trinity does not
acknowledge the birth of Yehoshua (Jesus) from GOD.
And that is something that must be re-introduced into
the churchs doctrine so that we can have the same
teaching that the apostles and Yehoshua (Jesus) taught
originally. And this birth was before the worlds were
created.
CHAPTER XXXII.--CHRIST
PREDICTED BY
MOSES.
And the first power after GOD the Father and Lord of
all is the Word, who is also the Son; and of Him we will,
in what follows, relate how He took flesh and became man.
For as man did not make the blood of the vine, but GOD,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
269
so it was hereby intimated that the blood should not be of

human seed, but of divine
Here we see that Yehoshua (Jesus) is described as the

first power after GOD the Father. This means that the
early church viewed Yehoshua (Jesus) as under GOD
Almighty. We must come to the realization that the
doctrine of the Trinity has created us a stumbling block
to miss understand Yehoshua (Jesus). The truth is that
Yehoshua (Jesus) is subordinate to GOD Almighty and
this is the view that they had received from the apostles.
There is no reason why we as a church should accept a
doctrine that is not in the Bible or held by the apostles or
held by the early church after the apostles died. We
must only accept the doctrine that was originally given,
and the doctrine of the Trinity is not that doctrine but a
strange doctrine. The proper way to view Yehoshua
(Jesus) is under the authority of GOD Almighty. Never
should we ever elevate Yehoshua (Jesus) him to the point
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
270
of being equal with GOD Almighty in which case we are

in error if we do so.
CHAPTER XLVI.--THE WORD
IN THE WORLD BEFORE
CHRIST.
We have been taught that Christ is the first-born of
GOD, and we have declared above that He is the Word
This means that again it is being re-iterated that

Yehoshua (Jesus) is the born son of GOD Almighty. They
do not claim that Yehoshua (Jesus) is uncreated, or
coeternal.

THE SECOND APOLOGY
OF JUSTIN FOR THE
CHRISTIANS ADDRESSED
TO THE
ROMAN
SENATE
CHAPTER VI.--N AMES
OF
GOD
AND OF
CHRIST,
THEIR MEANING AND POWER.
But to the Father of all, who is unbegotten there is no

name given. For by whatever name He be called, He has
as His elder the person who gives Him the name. But
these words Father, and GOD, and Creator, and Lord, and
Master, are not names, but appellations derived from His
good deeds and functions. And His Son, who alone is
properly called Son, the Word who also was with Him and
was begotten before the works, when at first He created
and arranged all things by Him, is called Christ, in
reference to His being anointed and GOD's ordering all
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
273
things through Him; this name itself also containing an

unknown significance; as also the appellation "God" is
not a name, but an opinion implanted in the nature of
men of a thing that can hardly be explained. But
"Yehoshua (Jesus)," His name as man and Saviour, has
also significance. For He was made man also, as we before
said, having been conceived according to the will of GOD
the Father, for the sake of believing men, and for the
destruction of the demons. And now you can learn this
from what is under your own observation. For numberless
demoniacs throughout the whole world, and in your city,
many of our Christian men exorcising them in the name of
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, who was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, have healed and do heal, rendering helpless and
driving the possessing devils out of the men, though they
could not be cured by all the other exorcists, and those
who used incantations and drugs.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
274
Here we can see that the early church considered the

Almighty unbegotten in other words not having a
beginning and eternal. But for Yehoshua (Jesus) we see
that they call him begotten and also that he was
created. This is the view of the early church concerning
Yehoshua (Jesus) and also they understood that
Yehoshua (Jesus) existed before the creation of the
world. We also see that they consider Yehoshua (Jesus)
the literal son of GOD in these passages. And finally we
see that the word God that is applied to Yehoshua
(Jesus) is because of something that can be hardly
explained as it is written here. Because Yehoshua (Jesus)
is sharing the same kind of nature as GOD it is hard to
explain so they use the word Yehoshua (Jesus). But not
as though he was the Almighty GOD but that he was the
son who shares the same kind of likeness as GOD. So
what we can understand from this is that the early
church did not believe the statements that the doctrine
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
275
of the Trinity makes about Yehoshua (Jesus) being

uncreated or that he is GOD Almighty. The early church
viewed Yehoshua (Jesus) as the son of GOD and that he
is under the power of the Almighty uncreated GOD. Also
we can see that they considered the usage of the word
God to mean concerning his nature and not
concerning the position in which he held. So the doctrine
of the Trinity is not to be found in the words of the early
church.
CHAPTER XIII.--H OW
THE
WORD
HAS BEEN IN ALL
MEN.
For next to GOD, we worship and love the Word who is

from the unbegotten and ineffable GOD,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
276
Here we see that they are differentiating between the

Almighty unbegotten GOD and the Word of GOD who is
from the unbegotten GOD. What they are showing is
that they did not believe that Yehoshua (Jesus) and GOD
the Father were coequal or coeternal or both uncreated.
The doctrine of the Trinity states that they are all three
uncreated and all equal. From the Bible and from the
words of the early church Fathers this opinion was not
held nor was the early church in the Bible or after the
Bible completed.

CHAPTER L.--IT
IS PROVED FROM ISAIAH THAT J OHN IS
THE PRECURSOR OF

And Trypho said, "You seem to me to have come out of a

great conflict with many persons about all the points we
have been searching into, and therefore quite ready to
return answers to all questions put to you. Answer me
then, first, how you can show that there is another
God besides THE MAKER OF ALL THINGS ; and then
you will show, [further], that He submitted to be
born of the Virgin."
I replied, "Give me permission first of all to quote certain
passages from the prophecy of Isaiah, which refer to the
office of forerunner discharged by John the Baptist and
prophet before this our Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ."
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
279
"I grant it," said he.
[Justin did not correct his assessment that Yehoshua

(Jesus) is another God apart from the Father, but not
that Yehoshua (Jesus) was GOD but that he was of the
GOD kind. Please note that Justin always places
Yehoshua (Jesus) under the Almighty.]
Chapter LVI.--God who appeared to Moses is

distinguished from GOD the Father.
"Moses, then, the blessed and faithful servant OF GOD,
declares that He who appeared to Abraham under the
oak in Mamre is God, SENT with the two angels in His
company to judge Sodom BY A NOTHER who remains
ever in the supercelestial places, invisible to all men,
holding personal intercourse with none, WHOM WE
BELIEVE TO BE
MAKER AND FATHER OF ALL THINGS;
for he speaks thus: 'God appeared to him under the oak
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
280
in Mamre, as he sat at his tent-door at noontide. And

lifting up his eyes, he saw, and behold, three men
stood before him; and when he saw them, he ran to
meet them from the door of his tent; and he bowed
himself toward the ground, and said;' "1 (and so on;)2 "
'Abraham gat up early in the morning to the place where
he stood before the Lord: and he looked toward Sodom
and Gomorrah, and toward the adjacent country, and
beheld, and, lo, a flame went up from the earth, like the
smoke of a furnace.' " And when I had made an end of
quoting these words, I asked them if they had
understood them.
And they said they had understood them, but that the
passages adduced brought forward no proof that there is
any other God or Lord, or that the Holy Spirit says so,
besides the Maker of all things.
{Justin is trying to prove that Yehoshua (Jesus) was

revealing the Father in the Old Testament. According to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
281
John 1:18 Yehoshua (Jesus) can be called God but not

in the absolute sense of the word. And it states that no
one has seen the Father GOD at any time this would
include the Old Testament. The clarification in that verse
says that Yehoshua (Jesus) has revealed him. So
according to that verse we can understand why Justin is
explaining that Yehoshua (Jesus) is God because the
verse calls him a begotten God, but as we know
Yehoshua (Jesus) has his own GOD who is the Almighty
uncreated. And we see that the New Testament claims
that no one has seen the Father or GOD at any time
only Yehoshua (Jesus) who is revealing him to us. That
would mean that any time that there was an appearance
of God it was actually Yehoshua (Jesus) revealing the
Father to us.
CJB John
1:18 No one has ever seen GOD; but
the only and unique Son, who is identical with GOD and
is at the Father's side- he has made him known. (Joh
1:18 CJB)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
282
Then I replied, "I shall attempt to persuade you, since

you have understood the Scriptures, [of the truth] of
what I say, that there is, and that there is said to be,
another God and Lord subject to3 THE MAKER OF ALL
THINGS ; who is also called an Angel (Messenger),
because He announces to men whatsoever the MAKER

OF ALL THINGS -- ABOVE WHOM THERE IS NO OTHER
GOD--WISHES
TO ANNOUNCE TO THEM ." And quoting
once more the previous passage, I asked Trypho, "Do

you think that GOD appeared to Abraham under the oak
in Mamre, as the Scripture asserts?"
Please examine what exactly Justin is preaching, it is not

the trinity. He is teaching that Yehoshua (Jesus) is called
God but that this God is subject to the Maker of All
things. This means that the early church does not
believe in a trinity But the uncreated GOD over the
created God. And this lines up with other verses in the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
283
bible. 17 "For the LORD your
GOD is the GOD of
Gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the

mighty, and the awesome
GOD who does not
show partiality, nor take a bribe. (Deu 10:17

NAS)
8 But of the Son He says, "Thy throne, O God,

is forever and ever, And the righteous scepter
is the scepter of His kingdom.
9 "Thou hast loved righteousness and hated
lawlessness; Therefore God, Thy GOD, hath
anointed Thee With the oil of gladness above
Thy companions." (Heb 1:8-9 NAS)
He said, "Assuredly."
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
284
"Was HE one of those three," I said, "whom Abraham

saw, and whom the Holy Spirit of prophecy describes as
men?"
He said, "No; but GOD appeared to him, before the
vision of the three. Then those three whom the Scripture
calls men, were angels (messengers); two of them sent
to destroy Sodom, and one to announce the joyful
tidings to Sarah, that she would bear a son; for
which cause he was sent, and having
accomplished his errand, went away."4
"How then," said I, "does the one of the three, who
was in the tent, and who said, 'I shall return to thee
hereafter, and Sarah shall have a son,'5 appear to have
returned when Sarah had begotten a son, and to be
there declared, by the prophetic word, God? But that you
may clearly discern what I say, listen to the words
expressly employed by Moses; they are these: 'And
Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian bond-woman,
whom she bore to Abraham, sporting with Isaac her son,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
285
and said to Abraham, Cast out this bond-woman and her

son; for the son of this bond-woman shall not share the
inheritance of my son Isaac. And the matter seemed
very grievous in Abraham's sight, because of his son. But
God said to Abraham, Let it not be grievous in thy sight
because of the son, and because of the bond-woman.
Here Justin is pointing out that Moses wrote the word

God as who said. But what he is showing is that Moses
was referring to the begotten God who is reflecting,
revealing speaking on behalf of the uncreated GOD.
John 1:18
In all that Sarah hath said unto thee, hearken to her

voice; for in Isaac shall thy seed be called.' 6 Have you
perceived, then, that He who said under the oak that He
would return, since He knew it would be necessary to
advise Abraham to do what Sarah wished him, came
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
286
back as it is written; and is God, as the words declare,

when they so speak: 'God said to Abraham, Let it not be
grievous in thy sight because of the son, and because of
the bond-woman?' I inquired. And Trypho said,
"Certainly; but you have not proved from this that
there is another God besides Him who appeared to
Abraham, and who also appeared to the other
patriarchs and prophets. You have proved,
however, that we were wrong in believing that the
three who were in the tent with Abraham were all
angels."
At this point Justin has successfully established that One

of the Three is not an angel, but was called a man.
Which if this were to refer to the Almighty would be
blasphemous calling GOD a man. So this must be
someone who is allowed to be called God but is not
the Almighty since that would be wrong for GODs Spirit
to call the Almighty a man. This is Yehoshua (Jesus)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
287
revealing GOD and also being called a man which is not

error or blasphemous since it is not the Almighty.
I replied again, "If I could not have proved to you from

the Scriptures that one of those three is God, and is
called Angel (Messenger) ,7 because, as I already
said, He brings messages to those to WHOM
THE
GOD
MAKER OF ALL THINGS WISHES [MESSAGES TO
BE BROUGHT ], then in regard to Him who appeared to
Abraham on earth in human form in like manner as the

two angels who came with Him, and who was God even
before the creation of the world, it were reasonable for
you to entertain the same belief as is entertained by the
whole of your nation."
"Assuredly," he said, "for up to this moment this has
been our belief."
Then I replied, "Reverting to the Scriptures, I shall
endeavour to persuade you, that He who is said to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
288
have appeared to Abraham, and to Jacob, and to

Moses, and who is called God, is distinct from H IM
WHO MADE ALL THINGS ,--numerically, I mean, not
[distinct] in will. For I affirm that He has never at any

time done anything which HE WHO MADE THE
WORLD --ABOVE WHOM THERE IS NO OTHER
GOD--
HAS NOT WISHED Him both to do and to engage Himself
with."
Justin here explains that he does not hold to the trinity,

because he says that Yehoshua (Jesus) the begotten God
and the Almighty unbegotten GOD are different
numerically. This means that Justin is not a Trinitarian,
but understand that the Two are different and not the
same one. And he also shows that The Almighty GOD
has no GOD above him like Yehoshua (Jesus) does. This
understanding maintains that there is only one True
GOD who is the Father, because Yehoshua (Jesus) is God
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
289
but not the Supreme GOD, but a lesser God who is the
Son of the Almighty.
And Trypho said, "Prove now that this is the case, that
we also may agree with you. For we do not understand
you to affirm that He has done or said anything contrary
to THE WILL OF THE MAKER OF ALL THINGS ."
At this point Trypho who is a Jew recognizes that if he
were to accept another one called God as long as this
God is under the Almighty GOD he as a Jew finds no
conflict to his current belief system.
Then I said, "The Scripture just quoted by me will make
this plain to you. It is thus: 'The sun was risen on the
earth, and Lot entered into Segor (Zoar); and the Lord
rained on Sodom sulphur and fire FROM THE LORD OUT
OF HEAVEN , and overthrew these cities and all the
neighbourhood.' "1
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
290
Then the fourth of those who had remained with Trypho

said, "It2 must therefore necessarily be said that one of
the two angels who went to Sodom, and is named by
Moses in the Scripture Lord, is different from Him who
also is God and appeared to Abraham."3
Justin is about to prove in the Bible that there are two

were called by the title God and that there are two that
are called Lord one being the uncreated GOD and the
other the begotten God who reveals the uncreated
GOD. Justin will in the following section explain how the

Bible explains two different lords in the story of Sodom
and Gomorrah and thereby revealing that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is on earth revealing and doing the will of the
Father on earth. This exemplifies the view of the early
church that GOD Almighty is GOD of Gods. And that
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ is the begotten God who is lower
than the Almighty and reveals him on earth. He does
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
291
this because if GOD were to truly appear on earth we

would all perish being sinners.
"It is not on this ground solely," I said, "that it must be

admitted absolutely that some other one is called Lord
by the Holy Spirit besides HIM WHO IS CONSIDERED
MAKER OF ALL THINGS; not solely [for what is said] by

Moses, but also [for what is said] by David. For there is
written by him: 'T HE LORD says to my Lord, SIT ON MY
RIGHT HAND , UNTIL
I MAKE THINE ENEMIES THY
FOOTSTOOL ,'4 as I have already quoted. And again, in
other words: 'Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever. A

sceptre of equity is the sceptre of Thy kingdom: Thou
hast loved righteousness and hated iniquity: therefore
God, even THY
GOD,
HATH ANOINTED
THE OIL OF GLADNESS ABOVE
THEE WITH
THY FELLOWS. '5 If,
therefore, you assert that the Holy Spirit calls some

other one God and Lord, besides THE FATHER OF ALL
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
292
THINGS and His Christ, answer me; for I undertake to
prove to you from Scriptures themselves, that He whom

the Scripture calls Lord is not one of the two angels that
went to Sodom, but He who was with them, and is called
God, that appeared to Abraham."
And Trypho said, "Prove this; for, as you see, the day
advances, and we are not prepared for such perilous
replies; since never yet have we heard any man
investigating, or searching into, or proving these
matters; nor would we have tolerated your conversation,
had you not referred everything to the Scriptures: 6 for
you are very zealous in adducing proofs from them; AND
YOU ARE OF OPINION THAT THERE IS NO
THE
GOD
ABOVE
MAKER OF ALL THINGS."
Trypho being a Jew is okay with the idea that there could
be another God as long as the maker of all things who is
the Almighty is the highest GOD over all. So this shows
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
293
that in the Jewish mind the concept of the existence of

two Gods is not contrary to basic traditional Jewish belief
as long as there is one who is the ultimate supreme
highest GOD. As long as this structure of only one GOD
who is highest is maintained then the doctrine that they
have accepted since Moses and Abraham has not been
violated. This is showing that the church originally
maintained a view that was not the Trinity doctrine or
anything like the Trinity. The doctrine of the Trinity says
that all three are coequal meaning none are above the
other this is contrary to the Bible and contrary to what
Justins teaching. The early church taught that there is
only one Almighty powerful GOD they also maintain that
there is a begotten God who was created from the
Father and is lower and subject to the Father and that he
is not equal with GOD Almighty.
Then I replied, "You are aware, then, that the Scripture

says, 'And the Lord said to Abraham, Why did Sarah
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
294
laugh, saying, Shall I truly conceive? for I am old. Is

anything impossible WITH
GOD? At the time appointed
shall I return to thee according to the time of life, and

Sarah shall have a son.'7 And after a little interval: 'And
the men rose up from thence, and looked towards
Sodom and Gomorrah; and Abraham went with them, to
bring them on the way. And the Lord said, I will not
conceal from Abraham, my servant, what I do.'8 And
again, after a little, it thus says: 'The Lord said, The cry
of Sodom and Gomorrah is great,9 and their sins are very
grievous. I will go down now, and see whether they have
done altogether according to their cry which has come
unto me; and if not, that I may know. And the men
turned away thence, and went to Sodom. But Abraham
was standing before the Lord; and Abraham drew near,
and said, Wilt Thou destroy the righteous with the
wicked?' "10 (and so on,11 for I do not think fit to write
over again the same words, having written them all
before, but shall of necessity give those by which I
established the proof to Trypho and his companions.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
295
Then I proceeded to what follows, in which these words

are recorded:) " 'And the Lord went His way as soon as
He had left communing with Abraham; and [Abraham]
went to his place. And there came two angels to
Sodom at even. And Lot sat in the gate of Sodom;'12 and
what follows until, 'But the men put forth their hands,
and pulled Lot into the house to them, and shut to the
door of the house;'13 and what follows till, 'And the
angels laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his
wife, and on the hands of his daughters, the Lord being
merciful to him. And it came to pass, when they had
brought them forth abroad, that they said, Save, save
thy life. Look not behind thee, nor stay in all the
neighbourhood; escape to the mountain, lest thou be
taken along with [them]. And Lot said to them, I beseech
[Thee], O Lord, since Thy servant hath found grace in
Thy sight, and Thou hast magnified Thy righteousness,
which Thou showest towards me in saving my life; but I
cannot escape to the mountain, lest evil overtake me,
and I die. Behold, this city is near to flee unto, and it is
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
296
small: there I shall be safe, since it is small; and any soul

shall live. And He said to him, Behold, I have accepted
thee14 also in this matter, so as not to destroy the city
for which thou hast spoken. Make haste to save thyself
there; for I shall not do anything till thou be come
thither. Therefore he called the name of the city Segor
(Zoar). The sun was risen upon the earth; and Lot
entered into Segor (Zoar). And the Lord rained on Sodom
and Gomorrah sulphur and fire FROM THE LORD OUT
OF HEAVEN ; and He overthrew these cities, and all the
neighbourhood.' "1 And after another pause I added:

"And now have you not perceived, my friends, that One
of the three, who is both God and Lord, and ministers to
HIM WHO IS IN THE HEAVENS, is Lord of the two

angels? For when [the angels] proceeded to Sodom, He
remained behind, and communed with Abraham in the
words recorded by Moses; and when He departed after
the conversation, Abraham went back to his place. And
when He came [to Sodom], the two angels no longer
conversed with Lot, but Himself, as the Scripture makes
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
297
evident; and He is the Lord who received commission

from THE L ORD WHO [REMAINS ] IN THE HEAVENS,
I .E ., THE
MAKER OF ALL THINGS, to inflict upon
Sodom and Gomorrah the [judgments] which the

Scripture describes in these terms: 'The Lord
rained down upon Sodom and Gomorrah sulphur
and FIRE FROM THE L ORD OUT OF HEAVEN.' "

C HAPTER LVIII.--T HE
SAME IS PROVED FROM THE VISIONS
WHICH APPEARED TO J ACOB .
Then I continued, "I purpose to quote to you Scriptures,

not that I am anxious to make merely an artful display of
words; for I possess no such faculty, but GOD's GRACE
alone has been granted to me to the understanding of
His Scriptures, of which grace I exhort all to become
partakers freely and bounteously, in order that they may
not, through want of it,3 incur condemnation in the
judgment WHICH
GOD
THE
MAKER OF ALL THINGS
shall hold through my Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ."

And Trypho said, "What you do is worthy of the worship
of GOD; but you appear to me to feign ignorance when
you say that you do not possess a store of artful words."
I again replied, "Be it so, since you think so; yet I am
persuaded that I speak the truth.4 But give me your
attention, that I may now rather adduce the remaining
proofs."
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
299
"Proceed," said he.

And I continued: "It is again written by Moses, my
brethren, that He who is called God and appeared to the
patriarchs is called both Angel (Messenger) and Lord, in
order that from this you may understand Him to be
minister to THE FATHER OF ALL THINGS , as you have
already admitted, and may remain firm, persuaded by
additional arguments. The word of GOD, therefore,
[recorded] by Moses, when referring to Jacob the
grandson of Abraham, speaks thus: 'And it came to pass,
when the sheep conceived, that I saw them with my
eyes in the dream: And, behold, the he-goats and the
rams which leaped upon the sheep and she-goats were
spotted white, and speckled and sprinkled with a dun
colour. And the Angel (Messenger)of God said to me in
the dream, Jacob, Jacob. And I said, What is it, Lord? And
He said, Lift up thine eyes, and see that the he-goats
and rams leaping on the sheep and she-goats are
spotted with white, speckled, and sprinkled with a dun
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
300
colour. For I have seen what Laban doeth unto thee. I am

the God who appeared to thee in Bethel,1 where thou
anointedst a pillar and vowedst a vow unto Me. Now
therefore arise, and get thee out of this land, and depart
to the land of thy birth, and I shall be with thee.'2 And
again, in other words, speaking of the same Jacob, it
thus says: 'And having risen up that night, he took the
two wives, and the two women-servants, and his eleven
children, and passed over the ford Jabbok; and he took
them and went over the brook, and sent over all his
belongings. But Jacob was left behind alone, and an
Angel3 (messenger) wrestled with him until morning.
And He saw that He is not prevailing against him, and He
touched the broad part of his thigh; and the broad part
of Jacob's thigh grew stiff while he wrestled with Him.
And He said, Let Me go, for the day breaketh. But he
said, I will not let Thee go, except Thou bless me. And He
said to him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And
He said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
Israel shall be thy name; for thou hast prevailed with
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
301
God, and with men shalt be powerful. And Jacob asked

Him, and said, Tell me Thy name. But he said, Why dost
thou ask after My name? And He blessed him there. And
Jacob called the name of that place Peniel,4 for I saw God
face to face, and my soul rejoiced.'5 And again, in other
terms, referring to the same Jacob, it says the following:
'And Jacob came to Luz, in the land of Canaan, which is
Bethel, he and all the people that were with him. And
there he built an altar, and called the name of that place
Bethel; for there God appeared to him when he fled from
the face of his brother Esau. And Deborah, Rebekah's
nurse, died, and was buried beneath Bethel under an
oak: and Jacob called the name of it The Oak of Sorrow.
And God appeared again to Jacob in Luz, when he came
out from Mesopotamia in Syria, and He blessed him. And
God said to him, Thy name shall be no more called
Jacob, but Israel shall he thy name.'6 He is called God,
and He is and shall be God." And when all had agreed on
these grounds, I continued: "Moreover, I consider it
necessary to repeat to you the words which narrate how
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
302
He who is both Angel (Messenger) and God and Lord,

and who appeared as a man to Abraham, and who
wrestled in human form with Jacob, was seen by him
when he fled from his brother Esau. They are as
follows: 'And Jacob went out from the well of the oath,7
and went toward Charran.8 And he lighted on a spot, and
slept there, for the sun was set; and he gathered of the
stones of the place, and put them under his head. And
he slept in that place; and he dreamed, and, behold, a
ladder was set up on the earth, whose top reached to
heaven; and the angels of GOD ascended and
descended upon it. And the Lord stood9 above it, and
He said, I am the Lord, the God of Abraham thy Father,
and of Isaac; be not afraid: the land whereon thou liest,
to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; and thy seed shall
be as the dust of the earth, and shall be extended to the
west, and south, and north, and east: and in thee, and in
thy seed, shall all families of the earth be blessed. And,
behold, I am with thee, keeping thee in every way
wherein thou goest, and will bring thee again into this
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
303
land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done all that I
have spoken to thee of. And Jacob awaked out of his
sleep, and said, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I
knew it not. And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is
this place! this is none other than the HOUSE OF
GOD,
and this is the gate of heaven. And Jacob rose up in the

morning, and took the stone which he had placed under
his head, and he set it up for a pillar, and poured oil
upon the top of it; and Jacob called the name of the
place THE HOUSE OF
GOD, and the name of the city
formerly was Ulammaus.' "10

Chapter LIX.--God distinct from the Father conversed

with Moses.
When I had spoken these words, I continued: "Permit me,
further, to show you from the book of Exodus how this
same One, who is both Angel, and God, and Lord, and
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
305
man, and who appeared in human form to Abraham and

Isaac,11 appeared in a flame of fire from the bush, and
conversed with Moses." And after they said they would
listen cheerfully, patiently, and eagerly, I went on:
"These words are in the book which bears the title of
Exodus: 'And after many days the king of Egypt died,
and the children of Israel groaned by reason of the
works;'12 and so on until, 'Go and gather the elders of
Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, The Lord God of
your Fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and
the God of Jacob, hath appeared to me, saying, I am
surely beholding you, and the things which have befallen
you in Egypt.' "13 In addition to these words, I went on:
"Have you perceived, sirs, that this very God whom
Moses speaks of as an Angel (Messenger) that talked to
him in the flame of fire, declares to Moses that He is the
God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob?"
Justin points out that the angel (messenger) who spoke
from the fire called himself God. This is because he is the
only begotten God. But GOD Almighty cannot be called
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
306
a messenger (Angel) of himself. So this is the Servant

God who reveals the Almighty GOD.
CHAPTER LX.--OPINIONS
TO
HIM
OF THE J EWS WITH REGARD
WHO APPEARED IN THE BUSH .
Then Trypho said, "We do not perceive this from the

passage quoted by you, but [only this], that it was an
angel who appeared in the flame of fire, but God who
conversed with Moses; so that there were really two
persons in company with each other, an angel
(Messenger) and GOD, that appeared in that vision."
T RYPHO SUGGESTS THAT THE ONE CALLED ANGEL IS NOT

THE
GOD THAT IS ALSO REFERRED TO IN THE VERSE .
I again replied, "Even if this were so, my friends, that an

angel and GOD were together in the vision seen by
Moses, yet, as has already been proved to you by the
passages previously quoted, it will not be THE
C REATOR OF ALL THINGS that is the God that said to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
307
Moses that He was the God of Abraham, and the God of

Isaac, and the God of Jacob, but it will be He who has
been proved to you to have appeared to Abraham,
ministering to the WILL OF THE MAKER OF ALL
THINGS , and likewise carrying into execution
HIS
COUNSEL in the judgment of Sodom; so that, even
though it be as you say, that there were two--an

angel and God--he who has but the smallest
intelligence will not venture to assert that the
MAKER AND FATHER OF ALL THINGS, having left all

supercelestial matters, was visible on a little
portion of the earth."

AND INSTEAD SAID IT WAS THE TRINITY , WHAT A LIE .
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
308
And Trypho said, "Since it has been previously proved

that He who is called God and Lord, and appeared to
Abraham, received from THE L ORD , WHO IS IN THE
HEAVENS , that which He inflicted on the land of Sodom,
even although an angel had accompanied the God who

appeared to Moses, we shall perceive that the God who
communed with Moses from the bush was not THE
MAKER OF ALL THINGS, but He who has been shown to

have manifested Himself to Abraham and to Isaac and to
Jacob; who also is called and is perceived to be the Angel
(Messenger) of
GOD
THE
MAKER OF ALL THINGS,
because He publishes to men THE COMMANDS OF THE
FATHER AND MAKER OF ALL THINGS."

And I replied, "Now assuredly, Trypho, I shall show that,
in the vision of Moses, this same One alone who is
called an Angel (Messenger), and who is God, appeared
to and communed with Moses. For the Scripture says
thus: 'The Angel (messenger) of the LORD appeared to
him in a flame of fire from the bush; and he sees
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
309
that the bush burns with fire, but the bush was not
consumed. And Moses said, I will turn aside and see this
great sight, for the bush is not burnt. And when the
Lord saw that he is turning aside to behold, the
Lord called to him out of the bush.'1 In the same
manner, therefore, in which the Scripture calls Him who
appeared to Jacob in the dream an Angel (messenger),
then [says] that the same Angel (Messenger) who
appeared in the dream spoke to him,2 saying, 'I am
the God that appeared to thee when thou didst flee from
the face of Esau thy brother;' and [again] says that,
in the judgment which befell Sodom in the days of
Abraham, the Lord had inflicted the punishment3 OF
THE
LORD WHO [DWELLS] IN THE HEAVENS;--even so
here, the Scripture, in announcing that the

Angel(messenger) of the LORD appeared to Moses,
and in afterwards declaring him to be Lord and God,
speaks of the same One, whom it declares by the
many testimonies already quoted to be minister TO
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
310
GOD,
WHO IS ABOVE THE WORLD , ABOVE WHOM
THERE IS NO OTHER
[GOD].
CHAPTER LXI--WISDOM
IS BEGOTTEN OF THE
FATHER,
AS FIRE FROM FIRE .
"I shall give you another testimony, my friends," said I,

"from the Scriptures, that
GOD begat before all
creatures a Beginning,4 [who was] a certain rational

power [proceeding] from H IMSELF , who is called by the
Holy Spirit, now the Glory of the Lord, now the Son,
again Wisdom, again an Angel (Messenger), then God,
and then Lord and Logos; and on another occasion He
calls Himself Captain, when He appeared in human form
to Joshua the son of Nave (Nun). For He can be called by
all those names, since He ministers to THE FATHER'S
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
311
WILL, and since He was begotten of THE
FATHER BY AN
ACT OF WILL;5 just as we see6 happening among
ourselves: for when we give out some word, we beget

the word; yet not by abscission, so as to lessen the
word7 [which remains] in us, when we give it out: and
just as we see also happening in the case of a fire, which
is not lessened when it has kindled [another], but
remains the same; and that which has been kindled by
it likewise appears to exist by itself, not diminishing
that from which it was kindled. The Word of Wisdom,
who is Himself this God begotten of THE FATHER OF
ALL THINGS , and Word, and Wisdom, and Power, and
the Glory of THE BEGETTER , will bear evidence to me,

when He speaks by Solomon the following: 'If I shall
declare to you what happens daily, I shall call to
mind events from everlasting, and review them.
THE LORD MADE me the beginning OF HIS WAYS FOR

HIS WORKS. FROM EVERLASTING HE ESTABLISHED
me in the beginning, BEFORE H E HAD MADE THE
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
312
EARTH , AND BEFORE
HE HAD MADE THE DEEPS,
BEFORE THE SPRINGS OF THE WATERS HAD ISSUED

FORTH , BEFORE THE MOUNTAINS HAD BEEN
ESTABLISHED .
GOD
BEFORE ALL THE HILLS HE BEGETS me.
MADE THE COUNTRY , AND THE DESERT , AND
THE HIGHEST INHABITED PLACES UNDER THE SKY .
WHEN HE MADE READY THE HEAVENS, I was along

with H IM, AND WHEN H E SET UP H IS THRONE ON THE
WINDS : WHEN
HE MADE THE HIGH CLOUDS STRONG,
AND THE SPRINGS OF THE DEEP SAFE , WHEN
HE
MADE THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH , I was with
HIM arranging. I was that in which HE rejoiced; daily

and at all times I delighted IN H IS COUNTENANCE ,
BECAUSE
HE DELIGHTED IN THE FINISHING OF THE
HABITABLE WORLD , AND DELIGHTED IN THE SONS OF

MEN. Now, therefore, O son, hear me. Blessed is the man
who shall listen to me, and the mortal who shall keep my
ways, watching1 daily at my doors, observing the posts
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
313
of my ingoings. For my outgoings are the outgoings of

life, and [my] will has been prepared by THE L ORD . But
they who sin against me, trespass against their own
souls; and they who hate me love death.'2
CHAPTER LXII.--THE
WORDS
"LET US
AGREE WITH THE TESTIMONY OF
MAKE MAN "
PROVERBS.
"And the same sentiment was expressed, my friends, by

the word of GOD [written] by Moses, when it indicated
to us, with regard to Him whom it has pointed out,3 that
GOD speaks in the creation of man with the very same

design, in the following words: 'Let Us make man after
our image and likeness. And let them have dominion
over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the heaven,
and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over all
the creeping things that creep on the earth. AND GOD
CREATED MAN : after the image of
GOD did He create
him; male and female created He them. AND GOD
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
314
blessed them, and said, Increase and multiply, and fill

the earth, and have power over it.'4 And that you may
not change the [force of the] words just quoted, and
repeat what your teachers assert,--either that GOD
said TO HIMSELF , 'Let Us make,' just as we, when
about to do something, oftentimes say to ourselves, 'Let
us make;' or that GOD spoke to the elements, to wit, the
earth and other similar substances of which we believe
man was formed, 'Let Us make,'--I shall quote again the
words narrated by Moses himself, from which we can
indisputably learn that [GOD] conversed with some
one who was numerically distinct from HIMSELF ,
and also a rational Being. These are the words: 'And
GOD SAID, Behold, Adam has become as one of us, to

know good and evil.'5 In saying, therefore, 'as one of
us,' [Moses] has declared that [there is a certain]
number of persons associated with one another,
and that they are at least two. For I would not say
that the dogma of that heresy6 which is said to be
among you7 is true, or that the teachers of it can prove
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
315
that [GOD] spoke to angels, or that the human frame

was the workmanship of angels. But this Offspring,
which was truly brought forth from THE FATHER ,
was with THE FATHER before all the creatures, and
THE
FATHER communed with Him; even as the
Scripture by Solomon has made clear, that He

whom Solomon calls Wisdom, was begotten as a
Beginning before all HIS creatures and as Offspring
BY
GOD, who has also declared this same thing in the
revelation made by Joshua the son of Nave (Nun). Listen,

therefore, to the following from the book of Joshua, that
what I say may become manifest to you; it is this: 'And it
came to pass, when Joshua was near Jericho, he lifted up
his eyes, and sees a man standing over against him. And
Joshua approached to Him, and said, Art thou for us, or
for our adversaries? And He said to him, I am Captain of
the LORD 'S HOST : now have I come. And Joshua fell
on his face on the ground, and said to Him, Lord, what
commandest Thou Thy servant? And the Lord's Captain
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
316
says to Joshua, Loose the shoes off thy feet; for the place
whereon thou standest is holy ground. And Jericho was
shut up and fortified, and no one went out of it. And the
Lord said to Joshua, Behold, I give into thine hand
Jericho, and its king, [and] its mighty men.' "8
CHAPTER CXXVII.--T HESE

DO NOT APPLY TO THE
PASSAGES OF
FATHER,
SCRIPTURE
BUT TO THE
W ORD.
"These and other such sayings are recorded by the

lawgiver and by the prophets; and I suppose that I have
stated sufficiently, that wherever9 GOD SAYS, 'God went
up from Abraham,'10 or, 'The Lord spake to Moses,'11 and
'The Lord came down to behold the tower which the sons
of men had built,'12 or when 'God shut Noah into the
ark,'13 you must not imagine that THE UNBEGOTTEN

OR BE SEEN BY ANY ONE, OR APPEAR ON THE

PEOPLE AT
SINAI WERE NOT ABLE TO LOOK EVEN ON
THE GLORY OF
HIM WHO WAS SENT FROM HIM; and
Moses himself could not enter into the tabernacle which

he had erected, when it was filled with the glory of GOD;
and the priest could not endure to stand before the
temple when Solomon conveyed the ark into the house
in Jerusalem which he had built for it? Therefore neither
Abraham, nor Isaac, nor Jacob, nor any other man, saw
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
318
THE
FATHER AND INEFFABLE LORD OF ALL, AND ALSO
OF Christ, but [saw] Him who was according to His will
His Son, being God, and the Angel (Messenger) because

He ministered to His will; whom also it pleased Him to be
born man by the Virgin; who also was fire when He
conversed with Moses from the bush. Since, unless we
thus comprehend the Scriptures, it must follow that THE
FATHER AND LORD OF ALL had not been in heaven

when what Moses wrote took place: 'And the Lord rained
upon Sodom fire and brimstone FROM THE LORD OUT
OF HEAVEN ;'14 and again, when it is thus said by David:
'Lift up your gates, ye rulers; and be ye lift up, ye

everlasting gates; AND THE KING OF GLORY SHALL
ENTER;'15 and again, when He says:
'THE LORD says to
my Lord, Sit at My right hand, till I make Thine enemies

Thy footstool.'16

CHAPTER CXXVIII.--T HE WORD
IS SENT NOT AS AN
INANIMATE POWER, BUT AS A PERSON BEGOTTEN OF

THE
FATHER'S
SUBSTANCE .
"And that Christ being Lord, and God the Son of GOD,
and appearing formerly in power as Man, and Angel
(Messenger), and in the glory of fire as at the bush, so
also was manifested at the judgment executed on
Sodom, has been demonstrated fully by what has been
said." Then I repeated once more all that I had
previously quoted from Exodus, about the vision in the
bush, and the naming of Joshua (Yehoshua (Jesus)),
and continued:
"And do not suppose, sirs, that I am speaking
superfluously when I repeat these words frequently: but it
is because I know that some wish to anticipate these
remarks, and to say that the power sent from the Father of
all which appeared to Moses, or to Abraham, or to Jacob,
is called an Angel (Messenger) because He came to men
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
320
(for by Him the commands of the Father have been

proclaimed to men); is called Glory, because He appears in
a vision sometimes that cannot be borne; is called a Man,
and a human being, because He appears arrayed in such
forms as the Father pleases; and they call Him the Word,
because He carries tidings from the Father to men: but
maintain that this power is indivisible and inseparable
from the Father, just as they say that the light of the sun
on earth is indivisible and inseparable from the sun in the
heavens; as when it sinks, the light sinks along with it; so
the Father, when He chooses, say they, causes His power
to spring forth, and when He chooses, He makes it return
to Himself. In this way, they teach, He made the angels.
But it is proved that there are angels who always exist,
and are never reduced to that form out of which they
sprang. And that this power which the prophetic word
calls God, as has been also amply demonstrated, and
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
321
Angel, is not numbered [as different] in name only like the

light of the sun but is indeed something numerically

I have discussed briefly in what has gone before; when I
asserted that this power was begotten FROM THE
FATHER, BY HIS POWER AND WILL, but not by

abscission, as if THE ESSENCE OF THE FATHER WERE
DIVIDED ; as all other things partitioned and divided are
not the same after as before they were divided: and, for
the sake of example, I took the case of fires kindled
from a fire, which we see to be distinct from it, and yet
Eliseo Rodriguez

OF
IS CONFIRMED FROM OTHER PASSAGES
SCRIPTURE .
"And now I shall again recite the words which I have

spoken in proof of this point. When Scripture says, 'The
Lord rained fire from THE L ORD OUT OF HEAVEN,' the
prophetic word indicates that there were two in
number: One upon the earth, who, it says, descended to
behold the cry of Sodom; A NOTHER IN HEAVEN , who
also IS L ORD OF THE L ORD ON EARTH, AS HE IS
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
323
FATHER AND GOD; THE CAUSE OF His POWER AND

OF His BEING Lord and God. Again, when the Scripture
records that
GOD said in the beginning, 'Behold, Adam
has become like one of Us,'1 this phrase, 'like one of Us,'
is also indicative of number; and the words do not admit
of a figurative meaning, as the sophists endeavour to
affix on them, who are able neither to tell nor to
understand the truth. And it is written in the book of
Wisdom: 'If I should tell you daily events, I would be
mindful to enumerate them from the beginning. THE
LORD created me the beginning of HIS WAYS FOR HIS

WORKS . From everlasting
HE ESTABLISHED me in the
beginning, BEFORE HE FORMED the earth, AND BEFORE
HE MADE THE DEPTHS, AND BEFORE THE SPRINGS OF

WATERS CAME FORTH , BEFORE THE MOUNTAINS WERE
SETTLED ;
HE begets me before all the hills.' "2 When I
repeated these words, I added: "You perceive, my

hearers, if you bestow attention, that the Scripture has
declared that this Offspring was begotten BY THE
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
324
FATHER BEFORE ALL THINGS CREATED ; and that which

is begotten is numerically distinct from THAT WHICH
BEGETS , any one will admit."
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

325
CLEMENT
[A.d. 30-100.] Clement was probably a Gentile and a
Roman. He seems to have been at Philippi with St. Paul
(a.d. 57) when that first-born of the Western churches
was passing through great trials of faith. There, with holy
women and others, he ministered to the apostle and to
the saints. As this city was a Roman colony, we need not
inquire how a Roman happened to be there. He was
possibly in some public service, and it is not improbable
that he had visited Corinth in those days. From the
apostle, and his companion, St. Luke, he had no doubt
learned the use of the Septuagint, in which his
knowledge of the Greek tongue soon rendered him an
adept. His copy of that version, however, does not
always agree with the Received Text, as the reader will
perceive.
A co-presbyter with Linus and Cletus, he succeeded
them in the government of the Roman Church. I have
reluctantly adopted the opinion that his Epistle was
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
326
written near the close of his life, and not just after the
persecution of Nero. It is not improbable that Linus and
Cletus both perished in that fiery trial, and that
Clement's immediate succession to their work and place
occasions the chronological difficulties of the period.
After the death of the apostles, for the Roman
imprisonment and martyrdom of St. Peter seem
historical, Clement was the natural representative of St.
Paul, and even of his companion, the "apostle of the
circumcision;" and naturally he wrote the Epistle in the
name of the local church, when brethren looked to them
for advice. St. John, no doubt, was still surviving at
Patmos or in Ephesus; but the Philippians, whose
intercourse with Rome is attested by the visit of
Epaphroditus, looked naturally to the surviving friends of
their great founder; nor was the aged apostle in the East
equally accessible. All roads pointed towards the
Imperial City, and started from its Milliarium Aureum.
But, though Clement doubtless wrote the letter, he
conceals his own name, and puts forth the brethren, who
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
327
seem to have met in council, and sent a brotherly

delegation (Chap. lix.). The entire absence of the spirit of
Diotrephes (3 John 9), and the close accordance of the
Epistle, in humility and meekness, with that of St. Peter
(1 Pet. v. 1-5), are noteworthy features. The whole will be
found animated with the loving and faithful spirit of St.
Paul's dear Philippians, among whom the writer had
learned the Gospel.
Clement fell asleep, probably soon after he despatched
his letter. It is the legacy of one who reflects the
apostolic age in all the beauty and evangelical truth
which were the first-fruits of the Spirit's presence with
the Church. He shares with others the aureole of glory
attributed by St. Paul (Phil. iv. 3), "His name is in the
Book of Life."

THE EPISTLE
OF
MATHETES
TO
DIOGNETUS
[a.d. 130.] The anonymous author of this Epistle gives

himself the title (Mathetes) "a disciple1 of the Apostles,"
and I venture to adopt it as his name. It is about all we
know of him, and it serves a useful end. I place his letter
here, as a sequel to the Clementine Epistle, for several
reasons, which I think scholars will approve: (1) It is full
of the Pauline spirit, and exhales the same pure and
primitive fragrance which is characteristic of Clement.
(2) No theory as to its date very much conflicts with that
which I adopt, and it is sustained by good authorities. (3)
But, as a specimen of the persuasives against Gentilism
which early Christians employed in their intercourse with
friends who adhered to heathenism, it admirably
illustrates the temper prescribed by St. Paul (2 Tim. ii.
24), and not less the peculiar social relations of converts
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
332
to the Gospel with the more amiable and candid of their

personal friends at this early period.
Mathetes was possibly a catechumen of St. Paul or of
one of the apostle's associates. I assume that his
correspondent was the tutor of M. Aurelius. Placed just
here, it fills a lacuna in the series, and takes the place of
the pseudo (second) Epistle of Clement, which is now
relegated to its proper place with the works falsely
ascribed to St. Clement.
Altogether, the Epistle is a gem of purest ray; and, while
suggesting some difficulties as to interpretation and
exposition, it is practically clear as to argument and
intent. Mathetes is, perhaps, the first of the apologists.
CHAPTER VII.--THE
MANIFESTATION OF
CHRIST.
For, as I said, this was no mere earthly invention which

was delivered to them, nor is it a mere human system of
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
333
opinion, which they judge it right to preserve so

carefully, nor has a dispensation of mere human
mysteries been committed to them, but TRULY
GOD
HIMSELF, WHO IS ALMIGHTY , THE CREATOR OF ALL

THINGS , AND INVISIBLE , HAS SENT FROM HEAVEN ,
AND PLACED AMONG MEN, [Him who is] the truth, and
the holy and incomprehensible Word, and has firmly

established Him in their hearts. H E did not, as one
might have imagined, SEND TO MEN any servant, or
angel, or ruler, or any one of those who bear sway over
earthly things, or one of those to whom the government
of things in the heavens has been entrusted, but the
very Creator and Fashioner of all things--BY WHOM H E
MADE THE HEAVENS -- by whom HE ENCLOSED THE SEA
WITHIN ITS PROPER BOUNDS --WHOSE ORDINANCES 13
ALL THE STARS 14 FAITHFULLY OBSERVE -- FROM
WHOM THE SUN 15 HAS RECEIVED THE MEASURE OF
HIS DAILY COURSE TO BE OBSERVED 16-- WHOM THE
MOON OBEYS , BEING COMMANDED TO SHINE IN THE

WHICH ARE IN THE HEIGHTS , THE THINGS WHICH ARE
IN THE DEPTHS , AND THE THINGS WHICH LIE
BETWEEN . This [messenger]
HE sent to them. Was it
then, as one17 might conceive, for the purpose of

exercising tyranny, or of inspiring fear and terror? By no
means, but under the influence of clemency and
meekness. AS A KING SENDS HIS SON, who is also a
king, so sent He Him; as God18 HE SENT Him; as to men
HE sent Him; as a Saviour HE sent Him, and as seeking

to persuade, not to compel us; for violence has no place
in the character of GOD. As calling us H E sent Him, not
Eliseo Rodriguez

335
as vengefully pursuing us; as loving us H E sent Him, not

as judging us. For HE will yet send Him to judge us, and

anything in the Epistles of either. His subsequent history

they may establish the law, but that they may proclaim
things contrary to it. For they alienate Christ from the
Father, and the law from Christ. They also calumniate His
being born of the Virgin; they are ashamed of His cross;
they deny His passion; and they do not believe His
resurrection. They introduce GOD as a Being unknown;
they suppose Christ to be unbegotten; and as to the
Spirit, they do not admit that He exists. Some of them
say that the Son is a mere man, and that the Father,

CHAPTER X.--THE
REALITY OF
CHRIST'S
PASSION.
Mary then did truly conceive a body which had GOD

inhabiting it. And God the Word was truly born of the
Virgin, having clothed Himself with a body of like
passions with our own. He who forms all men in the
womb, was Himself really in the womb, and made for
Himself a body of the seed of the Virgin, but without any
intercourse of man. He was carried in the womb, even as
we are, for the usual period of time; and was really born,
as we also are; and was in reality nourished with milk,
and partook of common meat and drink, even as we do.
And when He had lived among men for thirty years, He
was baptized by John, really and not in appearance; and
when He had preached the Gospel three years, and done
signs and wonders, He who was Himself the Judge was
judged by the Jews, falsely so called, and by Pilate the
governor; was scourged, was smitten on the cheek, was
spit upon; He wore a crown of thorns and a purple robe;
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
356
He was condemned: He was crucified in reality, and not

in appearance, not in imagination, not in deceit. He
really died, and was buried, and rose from the dead,
even as He prayed in a certain place, saying, "But do
Thou, O Lord, raise me up again, and I shall
recompense them."15 And the Father, who always
hears Him,16 answered and said, "Arise, O God,
and judge the earth; for Thou shall receive all the
heathen for Thine inheritance."17 The Father,
therefore, who raised Him up, will also raise us up
through Him, apart from whom no one will attain
to true life. For says He, "I am the life; he that
believeth in me, even though he die, shall live: and
every one that liveth and believeth in me, even though
he die, shall live for ever."18 Do ye therefore flee from
these ungodly heresies; for they are the inventions of
the devil, that serpent who was the author of evil, and
who by means of the woman deceived Adam, the Father
of our race.

NOT ACCEPT JUDAISM.
If any one preaches the one GOD of the law and

the prophets, but denies Christ to be the Son of GOD,
he is a liar, even as also is his Father the devil,5 and is a
Jew falsely so called, being possessed of6 mere carnal
circumcision. If any one confesses Christ Yehoshua
(Jesus) the Lord, but denies the GOD of the law and of
the prophets, saying that the Father of Christ is not the
Maker of heaven and earth, he has not continued in the
truth any more than his Father the devil,7 and is a
disciple of Simon Magus, not of the Holy Spirit. If any one
says there is one GOD, and also confesses Christ
Yehoshua (Jesus),but thinks the Lord to be a mere
man, and not the only-begotten8 God, and
Wisdom, and the Word of GOD, and deems Him to
consist merely of a soul and body, such an one is a
serpent, that preaches deceit and error for the
destruction of men. And such a man is poor in
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
363
understanding, even as by name he is an Ebionite.9 If

any one confesses the truths mentioned,10 but calls
lawful wedlock, and the procreation of children,
destruction and pollution, or deems certain kinds of food
abominable, such an one has the apostate dragon
dwelling within him. If any one confesses the Father, and
the Son, and the Holy Ghost, and praises the creation,
but calls the incarnation merely an appearance, and is
ashamed of the passion, such an one has denied the
faith, not less than the Jews who killed Christ.
Only Begotten God? Only Created God? So not to be

confused with The Unbegotten GOD, According to this
Early disciple of Apostle John is you do not acknowledge
the Created God, but call him just a man, or call him
uncreated and eternal both are error, we must have
balance the trinity doctrine and the only human
Yehoshua are two extremes from the truth. He is a
created/begotten/made God, a Son of GOD.

CHAPTER IX.--H ONOUR
THE BISHOP .
For there is no one superior to
GOD, or even like to
Him, among all the beings that exist. Nor is there anyone
in the Church greater than the bishop, who ministers as
a priest to
GOD for the salvation of the whole world.
Nor, again, is there any one among rulers to be

compared with the king, who secures peace and good
order to those over whom he rules. He who honours the
bishop shall be honoured by GOD, even as he that
dishonours him shall be punished by GOD. For if he that
rises up against kings is justly held worthy of
punishment, inasmuch as he dissolves public order, of
how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be
thought worthy,9 who presumes to do anything without
the bishop, thus both destroying the [Church's] unity,
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

372
and throwing its order into confusion? For the priesthood

is the very highest point of all good things among men,
against which whosoever is mad enough to strive,
dishonours not man, but GOD, and Christ Yehoshua
(Jesus), the First-born, and the only High Priest, by
nature, of the Father. Let all things therefore be done by
you with good order in Christ. Let the laity be subject to
the deacons; the deacons to the presbyters; the
presbyters to the bishop; the bishop to Christ, even as
He is to the Father.

And [know ye, moreover], that He who was born of a

woman was the Son of
GOD, and He that was crucified
was "the first-born of every creature,"14 and God the

Word, who also created all things. For says the apostle,
"There is one GOD, the Father, of whom are all
things; and one Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, by
whom are all things."1 And again, "For there is one
GOD, and one Mediator between GOD and man, the

man Christ Yehoshua (Jesus);"2 and, "By Him were all
things created that are in heaven, and on earth, visible
and invisible; and He is before all things, and by Him all
things consist."3

GOD."4 And again, "When all things shall be

subdued unto Him, then shall He also Himself be
subject unto Him that put all things under Him,
that
GOD may be all in all."5 Wherefore it is one
[Person] who put all things under, and who is all in

all, and another [Person] to whom they were
subdued, who also Himself, along with all other
things, becomes subject [to the former].
CHAPTER VI.--C ONTINUATION.

Nor is He a mere man, by whom and in whom all things
were made; for "all things were made by Him."6 "When
He made the heaven, I was present with Him; and I was
there with Him, forming [the world along with Him], and
He rejoiced in me daily."7 And how could a mere man be
addressed in such words as these: "Sit Thou at My right
hand?"8 And how, again, could such an one declare:
"Before Abraham was, I am?"9 And, "Glorify Me with Thy
glory which I had before the world was?"10 What man
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
376
could ever say, "I came down from heaven, not to

do Mine own will, but the will of Him that sent
Me?"11 And of what man could it be said, "He was the
true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into
the world: He was in the world, and the world was made
by Him, and the world knew Him not. He came unto His
own, and His own received Him not?"12 How could such a
one be a mere man, receiving the beginning of His
existence from Mary, and not rather God the Word, and
the only-begotten Son? For "in the beginning was the
Word, and the Word was with GOD,13 and the Word was
God."14 And in another place, "The Lord created Me,
the beginning of His ways, for His ways, for His
works. Before the world did He found Me, and
before all the hills did He beget Me."15

"Behold, a virgin shall be with Child, and shall bring forth

beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
GOD, and the Word was God. The same was in the
beginning with GOD. All things were made by Him,
and without Him was not anything made that was
made."16 And concerning the incarnation: "The
Word," says [the Scripture], "became flesh, and dwelt
among us."17 And again: "The book of the generation of
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, the son of David, the son of
Abraham."18 And those very apostles, who said "that
there is one GOD,"19 said also that "there is one
Mediator between GOD and men."1 Nor were they
ashamed of the incarnation and the passion. For what
says [one]? "The man Christ Yehoshua (Jesus), who gave
Himself"2 for the life and salvation of the world.
This shows the early church understood GOD is one, but

also acknowledge that the apostles still wrote the word

FOR WRITING THE EPISTLE .
Being mindful of your love and of your zeal in Christ,

remembrance of your Christian course,3 "that ye all
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
386
speak the same thing, being of one mind, thinking the

same thing, and walking by the same rule of faith," 4 as
Paul admonished you. For if there is one GOD of the
universe, the Father of Christ, "of whom are all
things;"5 and one Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ,
our [Lord], "by whom are all things;"6 and also one
Holy Spirit, who wrought7 in Moses, and in the
prophets and apostles; and also one baptism, which
is administered that we should have fellowship with the
death of the Lord;8 and also one elect Church; there
ought likewise to be but one faith in respect to Christ.
For "there is one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one
GOD and Father of all, who is through all, and in

all."9
CHAPTER II.--UNITY
OF THE THREE DIVINE PERSONS.
There is then one GOD and Father, and not two or

three; One who is; and there is no other besides
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
387
Him, the only true [GOD]. For "the Lord thy GOD,"
saith [the Scripture], "is one Lord."10 And again,
"Hath not one GOD created us? Have we not all
one Father?11 And there is also one Son, God the Word.
For "the only-begotten Son," saith [the Scripture], "who
is in the bosom of the Father."12 And again, "One Lord
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ."13 And in another place, "What is
His name, or what His Son's name, that we may know?" 14
And there is also one Paraclete.15 For "there is also,"
saith [the Scripture], "one Spirit,"16 since "we have been
called in one hope of our calling."17 And again, "We have
drunk of one Spirit,"18 with what follows. And it is
manifest that all these gifts [possessed by believers]
"worketh one and the self-same Spirit."19 There are not
then either three Fathers,20 or three Sons, or three
Paracletes, but one Father, and one Son, and one
Paraclete. Wherefore also the Lord, when He sent forth
the apostles to make disciples of all nations, commanded
them to "baptize in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost,"21 not unto one [person]
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

388
having three names, nor into three [persons] who

became incarnate, but into three possessed of equal
honour.
This shows that the understanding of the Father is that

he is Supreme overand above all. And then secondly the
Son the only Begotten God, and Third the Holy Spirit who
we have drunk of and who manifests the gifts to and
through us. Who all deserve honour for the roles they all
play in our salvation. But GOD the Almighty Father is
over all, the Son and the Spirit do the will of GOD
Almighty.

that did not agree with their doctrine. The first and
foremost reason for the Council was to end the nonTrinitarian view in the church. Along with this we have an
Emperor who is threatening anyone who does not sign
will be banished from the Roman Empire. Now I dont
know about you but I think that's unfair and possibly put
the Christians of that time in a position that they did not
know how to handle. They were now being persecuted
by their own brothers in the church against the doctrine
that they have held and believe that there apostles held.
They probably didn't know what to do with that surprise
ambush decision under threat of banishment. Either way
those in power prevailed and had the Nicene Creed
ratified, which is the Trinitarian creed that Trinitarian's
today use as evidence because it has been around since
338 A.D. and neglect to inform people of the
circumstances in which the Nicene Creed was created.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

What did the non-Trinitarian view of Yehoshua (Jesus)

look like? I believe it is the same teaching that the
apostles wrote about in the New Testament. And I
believe that it was carried on through the church up to
this point of the Nicene Council. It was such a big deal
that they had all the church in the known world
participating to straighten out this issue. It was not
because one man named Arius came on the scene and
began teaching something foreign. There was a problem
within the church in Alexandria and it must have been an
issue that big enough that needed to influence the rest
the church worldwide. Because it is my opinion that the
rest of the church worldwide had some believers that
believed what the early church Fathers taught about
Yehoshua (Jesus), and others the more traditional
apostolic view of Yehoshua (Jesus). So it was not just the
church in Alexandria but the churches worldwide needed
a definite answer to the question, but as we know the
leadership was Trinitarian and the votes went to the
Trinitarian doctrine under threat of banishment. Now the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
396
Bible says that you shall know them by their fruits do we

see Yehoshua (Jesus) in employing any of these tactics of
threatening the free will of a person? Did Yehoshua
(Jesus) threaten the 70 that left following him with
damnation if they went ahead and left? No Yehoshua
(Jesus) did not give that example. So apparently the part
of the church that believed that Yehoshua (Jesus) was
not The HIGHEST GOD appointed a man named Arius to
be their spokesman and representative, which is why
they now coined the term Arianism as a way of
identifying it with one heretical person. If they can call it
something other than the doctrine of the apostles it
sounds less credible. Which is why when I teach people
the word of GOD the automatically want to know am I
Jehovah's Witness or Mormon or church of GOD or some
other known religion to stereotype me and my teaching.
If they can just say "Oh he's just a Jehovah's Witness"
people were automatically dismiss me on the stereotype
alone, but I'm not a Jehovah's Witness. And for the
record I am not a Mormon or church of GOD or any of
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
397
those kinds of religions. I identify most with the Baptist

understanding until I came to realize that Yehoshua
(Jesus) is not The Highest GOD through my own
studying. No man on earth taught me this understanding
of the Bible is my personal belief that it is a revelation
given from GOD. I'm not calling myself in apostle or a
prophet or any of those things but I do believe that GOD
has revealed this to me in very plain and definite terms.
So Arius is the poster boy for the apostolic teaching of

Yehoshua (Jesus). And as we know he lost that debate
with only two votes out of 300+ going to him.

OMISSIONS
THE THORN
IN THE
DOCTRINE.
When I first became a Christian I was given a King James

Bible with no commentaries and only a glossary in the
back. And I thank GOD that he provided me a Bible to
read. Which is where I read most of the Bible, from this
King James Bible? I did not get any outside influences for
a long time. I only read the word alone, understood what
I read and accepted as truth. And I eventually became
part of a church and began to hear preaching and
teachings and began to understand the Bible from a
deeper perspective. But there has always been a thorn
in the doctrine of the Trinity in my mind. And every time I
read the word especially the New Testament I would
always get pricked. And I don't know how people can
ignore this so easily. But these versus would never stop
irritating my doctrine of the Trinity. And it does not come
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
405
out of a desire to prove others wrong. And it also doesn't

come from some pride that drives me to discredit many
biblical teachers. But it comes from this pricked or thorn
in the doctrine that I can no longer ignore.
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any

other gospel unto you than that which we have
preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man
preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have
received, let him be accursed.
10 For do I now persuade men, or GOD? or do I seek to
please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the
servant of Christ. (Gal 1:8-10 KJV)
I take this verse very seriously and quite literally. I want

the same gospel that Paul and the apostles preached.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
406
And in my desire to make sure that my doctrine and my

belief system were in line with the books of the New
Testament I had to read them for myself. And discern
what the Bible says to me and follow that instruction. So
it comes out of the desire to want to be correct
according to what the books of the Bible have written.
And not to please man, although I'd love my fellow man
my brothers in Christ if I find something wrong for the
sake of my own soul Im going to follow what I read. And
I'm also not demanding that everyone who reads this
book must follow in my footsteps. But that the reader
honestly looks at these verses and see if you see what I
see. I also ask that you ask GOD the Father and
Yehoshua (Jesus) for Revelation on whether or not this
might be true. Because ultimately if it's GOD's truth
GOD will bear witness to the truth as he did with the

apostles truths. And I'm not calling myself an apostle but
only that GOD can bear witness to you if this word is
truth or not.
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
407
The First things that bothered me or was a thorn in the

Trinity doctrine was the beginning of almost every book
of the Bible, not necessarily the Gospels, but the letters
of the apostles. And I will show you what I mean by the
following portion.
Paul, a servant of Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, called to be

an apostle, separated unto the gospel of GOD,
2 (Which he had promised afore by his prophets in the
holy scriptures,)
3 Concerning his Son Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ our Lord,
which was made of the seed of David according to the
flesh;
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
408
4 And declared to be the Son of GOD with power,

according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection
from the dead:
5 By whom we have received grace and apostleship, for
obedience to the faith among all nations, for his name:
6 Among whom are ye also the called of Yehoshua
(Jesus) Christ:
7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of GOD, called to be
saints: Grace to you and peace from GOD our Father,
and the Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ.
8 First, I thank my GOD through Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ
for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the
whole world.
9 For GOD is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in
the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make
mention of you always in my prayers;
(Rom 1:1-9 KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
409
This opening of the book of Romans would convict me

and pricked me in my heart, because I know that the
Trinity doctrine says that Yehoshua (Jesus) and the Father
are one. But when I read this portion of the Scripture and
many others it speaks as though the apostle viewed
them as two different persons. If they are truly one in the
same why do they need to keep referring to them as two
different and distinct persons? So every time I would
read this, a thorn would appear in my Trinity doctrine
that if I am to understand the gospel as Paul preached in
this portion of Scripture he identifies them as two
different and distinct persons. And I feel like I would have
to ignore that fact in the verses to keep the Trinity
doctrine alive. And somewhere in my spirit I would feel
that that was wrong to ignore a truth like that. Let's look
at verse three it says "concerning his son Yehoshua
(Jesus) Christ our Lord" just that statement alone makes
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
410
them sound like two different persons. And I understand

that it can mean only a part of GOD is a Trinity doctrine
says.
But I feel like we should not ignore the obvious truth in

the normal reading of the word. I could make a
statement of any kind and allow people to scrutinize it to
the level of theology and change what I originally meant.
What I mean by that is that is very possible to lose sight
of the plain truth for our own preconceived notions.
What I do know is that in these versus their never
characterized as one person, which I think must be
included somewhere to prevent us from thinking that
they are two persons. In other words if we are speaking
about something complicated and confusing shouldn't
the writer or speaker make every effort to clarify the
truth to prevent any misunderstanding? If we look at the
book of Galatians Paul goes into deep detail about why
we are no longer under the law. Paul goes into many
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
411
facets of how he wants to make sure that the church in

Galatia does not stumble into confusion. And for some
reason know where in the Bible do you see the Trinity
doctrine being spelled-out as intricately as Paul does
about the law and freedom from the law. I personally
believe that this is an indication that the Trinity doctrine
may not have been held by the original apostles. And I
know that that is a wild and insulting and confusing
statement, but I ask the concept of the Trinity is such a
hard concept to grasp today why would they not
expound on it in great detail when it was originally
given? We must remember that these are Jewish
Christians coming from a Jewish background, the idea of
two persons or three persons being one and the same
GOD would send shockwaves through the Jewish

communities. And I don't see why the apostles don't
expound on such a controversial issue that it would have
been at the time of the early church. Are we to assume
that the Jewish Christians of that time did not have any
problem with understanding the Trinity, and never ask
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
412
that any of the apostles expound on such a profound

truth? It just baffles me that Paul does not included in
this characterization of the Father GOD and his Son. It
just seems to me that any time you speak of the Father
and the son separately you would have to also include
clarification that they are also one every single time to
prevent confusion. And also to hammer home the idea
that they are truly one. But none of the apostles do this.
The Trinity doctrine is hard to understand by Christians
today why was there no need for explanation during the
time of the apostles?

(R OM 16:26-1 KJV)
Another example at the very end of the letter it makes

mention of GOD and Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ with no
clarification of their unity to prevent misunderstanding
that they are not two persons but one. Every time I read
this verse I get pricked by the thorn of the trinity
doctrine. But regardless of my teachers this truth did not
go away.
Eliseo Rodriguez

Paul, called to be an apostle of Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ

through the will of GOD, and Sosthenes our brother,
2 Unto the church of GOD which is at Corinth, to them
that are sanctified in Christ Yehoshua (Jesus), called to
be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name
of Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:
3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from GOD our Father,
and from the Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ.
4 I thank my GOD always on your behalf, for the grace
of GOD which is given you by Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ;
5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all
utterance, and in all knowledge;
6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the
coming of our Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ:
Eliseo Rodriguez

54,174 words

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may
be blameless in the day of our Lord Yehoshua (Jesus)
Christ.
9 GOD is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the
fellowship of his Son Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ our Lord
(1Co 1:1-9 KJV)
This is the next book in the Bible and the introduction I

find the same thing. When the apostle Paul refers to
Yehoshua (Jesus) and GOD they are mentioned as
though they are two distinct and different persons.
Nowhere do I see any hint of the tri-unity of GOD.
Nowhere do I see Paul in asserting that much-needed
doctrine into his description of GOD the Father and the
Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ. We also never see the Jews
accuse the apostles of having multiple deities or
exaggerating the Trinity doctrine to discredit them,
which I would think would be very easy to do since the
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
416
Jews of that day were very treacherous. But we see no

evidence of the Jews using doctrine of the Trinity and its
confusion against the apostles ever. I would think that
that would be the most used weapon against the church
would be the confusion and the hard understanding of
the Trinity to breed contempt and whatever else they
could to effectively draw way believers from the faith.
But no such thing has been recorded.
Paul, an apostle of Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ by the will of
GOD, and Timothy our brother, unto the church of GOD

which is at Corinth, with all the saints which are in all
Achaia:
2 Grace be to you and peace from GOD our Father, and
from the Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ.
3 Blessed be GOD, even the Father of our Lord
Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, the Father of mercies, and the
GOD of all comfort;
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
417
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may

be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the
comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of GOD.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our
consolation also aboundeth by Christ. (2Co 1:1-5 KJV)
Verse two in this portion shows GOD and the Lord

Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ as to separate persons and verse
three reiterates GOD as the Father of Yehoshua (Jesus)
specifically making the two separate persons. Like I said
before in this portion of Scripture there is no qualifying
that they are one in the same to prevent confusion.
Every time I read these verses the thorn of this glaring
omission pricked my theology. Most Christians tried to
dismiss the fact that there is no clarifying of the Tri-unity
of GOD in these verses because it's a readily accepted
doctrine, but my problem is that someone other than the
bible has to clarify that for me. At some point I am
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
418
bound to see the qualifying of the Trinity model

somewhere in Scripture right?
Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by

Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ, and GOD the Father, who raised
him from the dead;)
2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the
churches of Galatia:
3 Grace be to you and peace from GOD the Father, and
from our Lord Yehoshua (Jesus) Christ,
4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver
us from this present evil world, according to the will of
GOD and our Father:

5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. (Gal 1:1-5
KJV)
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
419
This is the beginning of the next book in the Bible. And

again they are described as to separate and distinct
individuals. As you probably can see I could easily show
you from the beginning greetings of every New
Testament book that has an opening like this, nowhere
will you find any of the apostles qualifying the two or
three as one. This thorn in my doctrine of the Trinity
happened every time I read the opening greeting in an
apostolic letter. In fact I came to realize that none of the
apostles have qualified the three in one model in any
book in the New Testament. Of course some claim
certain verses do in fact qualify the three in one model.
But what I want you to see is that these descriptions are
so vague that they could be speaking of something else.
Historically the Jewish people have always understood
GOD as one person in the Old Testament. To now

defined GOD as three separate identities but one GOD
alone is a doctrine foreign to fundamental Jewish
understanding about GOD why with the apostles not
include clarification about the Trinity for the Jewish
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
420
believers? Why not explicitly write about it just once.

Why in all the writings of all they apostles, do we never
get a full explicit clear statement about the Trinity
doctrine? I find it amazing that such a hard deep
paradigm shift idea or concept about GOD has slipped
the minds of the apostles in their writings. That's the
thorn in my doctrine, the doctrine of the Trinity. In fact
almost every verse that is used for the Trinity has a tiny
thorn in it about the difference between Yehoshua (Jesus)
and GOD. It is a thorn in the doctrine of the Trinity. But it
is no longer my thorn because having researched the
subject I find it impossible to continue to hold the
doctrine of the Trinity in light of all the evidence against
it.
So this is how it all began, a constant reoccurring

theme of omission and missing proof text in the New
Testament Scriptures validating the Trinity doctrine. The
anomalies that I pointed out to you in this book began to
Eliseo Rodriguez
The Doctrine of the

54,174 words
421
grow the more I read the New Testament. And as I

continue to read Yehoshua (Jesus) and GOD being
personified as two persons every time with no
clarification of their tri-unity, I found myself being
railroaded into a decision. One choice was to continue
with the doctrine of the Trinity and align myself with the
majority of Christian believers. The other choice is to be
willing to dig further and make a commitment that I
would be willing to leave the doctrine of the Trinity if no
convincing evidence appears and none ever did.
For the word of GOD is quick, and powerful, and

sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even
to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of
the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart. (Heb 4:12 KJV)

the angels which are in heaven, neither the Son, but the
Father. (Mar 13:32 KJV)
