Thank
you for visiting this website.
The
contents in links above that you're about to encounter may
elicit surprise, provoke thought, or perhaps encourage you to
reevaluate long-held beliefs.
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.
