The
"faith once delivered to the saints" doesn't find its origins in
scripture. Instead, it draws from Greek philosophy, propagated by Greek philosophers who emerged 200-400 years after the time
of Christ. These teachings, collectively known today as "Orthodoxy," include
a central doctrine concerning the Trinity.
In
the past, disbelieving in the Trinity was met with severe consequences,
often leading to executions, such as the infamous case of Michael
Servetus, who was burned at the stake at the behest of John Calvin.
It's
essential to note that Jesus never asserted his divinity as God
Almighty (Yahweh). On the night before his crucifixion, he prayed to
his Father, emphasizing:
"This is eternal life: that they may know YOU, the ONE TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ,
whom You have sent." (John 17:3)
Jesus recognized God as his Father and our Father:
"Jesus
said to her, 'Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the
Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, 'I am ascending to MY
FATHER and YOUR FATHER, to MY GOD and YOUR GOD.'" (John 20:17)
Jesus
was unequivocal in asserting the existence of the One True God, who is
both his Father and ours (John 17:3; 20:17; Rev. 3:12).
However,
these words of Jesus have been often overlooked or set
aside in favor of doctrines not explicitly found in scripture.
