I was shocked after watching this. Peter Joseph has produced a video that may cause you to look at religion and our government in a whole new light. Prepare to be challenged. The truth is out there, but what is it?

Although I thought the the full concept of the Trinity was being decided at the Council of Nicaea, it appears that it had primarily been the deity of Christ, as being God. It seems that the holy Spirit was added in some time after, between 325-381, possibly in the First Council of Constantinople. 

Straight from the Council of Nicaea is this Biblical?

“We believe in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten of the Father, that is, of the substance [ek tes ousias] of the Father, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten not made, of the same substance with the Father [homoousion to patri], through whom all things were made both in heaven and on earth; who for us men and our salvation descended, was incarnate, and was made man, suffered and rose again the third day, ascended into heaven and cometh to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Ghost.
Those who say: There was a time when He was not, and He was not before He was begotten; and that He was made our of nothing (ex ouk onton); or who maintain that He is of another hypostasis or another substance [than the Father], or that the Son of God is created, or mutable, or subject to change, [them] the Catholic Church anathematizes.”

I was recently reading about the trinity at ReachoutTrust.org (link) where I read this quote:

“The Father is not the same person as the Son; the Son is not the same person as the Holy Spirit; and the Holy Spirit is not the same person as Father. They are distinct persons; yet, they are all the one God. They are in absolute perfect harmony consisting of one substance. They are coeternal, coequal, and copowerful. If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God.”

First, I’m puzzled in that it says, “If any one of the three were removed, there would be no God.” Correct me if I’m wrong but didn’t Christ, the Son of God, die? Note that if he didn’t die, his crucifixan would have been in vain. But the Bible says he did die. But if Jesus died, he was truly dead, because we know that which is dead is not alive. There is an Old Testament prophecy given in Psalm 16:10 stating, “…you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your Holy One see decay.” If Jesus was not truely dead why would God have to raise him from death as described in Act 13:29-37. The Question to ask is can God die?

Conflict with the Trinity…

John 4:23-24
23Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks. 24God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.”

Acts 10

37You know what has happened throughout Judea, beginning in Galilee after the baptism that John preached— 38how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, and how he went around doing good and healing all who were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

…

42He commanded us to preach to the people and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living and the dead.

By this we can see God is spirit; God anointed Jesus with his spirit and dwelt with him, just as through Christ’s death on the cross the spirit now dwells in us; the father is with us. God would have no need to anoint Jesus with the holy spirit if Jesus were already fully God. I will note that the Bible also says that Christ spirit is with us. It’s possible we all share a connection to God through the spirit.

We may all share one spirit of God?

I would believe that most Christians believe that the Bible is about a message of salvation. And, although this message is apparent in the Bible, is it the real message of the Bible? If we believe Jesus is our Lord, shouldn’t we take example and follow him. But then that means we are to preach the same message that Jesus preached. Did he preach a message of salvation? Or, did he preach of God’s coming kingdom? Let see…

Matthew 4:17
From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

Matthew 4:23
Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

Matthew 5:3
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
