Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
COMMENTS BY TRINITARIANS ON TRIVIAL AND MINUTE AND ANSWERS WITH 'BIG
PICTURE' IN MIND TO THEM.
Trinitarians confuse themselves and others by striving to pay attention
to the trivial and minute instead of the 'Big Picture'. They argue
trivial and minute points to try and prove their myth has Biblical
backing that it does not. In fact they get so wrapped up in this
pursuit of trivial they start believing the product of their own
confusion. As an example, one believer in the Trinity actually said
the following in response to something I said, the Trinitarian's
response was:
"Go back and read my response to your quote of Barclay. Barclay tried
to show a relationship to translating an anarthruous (no article)
DIABOLOS in John 6:70 as "you are a devil" to implying the same thing
should be done in John 1:1c, "the Word was a God/god." One problem...
John 6:70 has EIS - one/a. John 1:1c does not.
I have pointed out that if John had wanted to say that Jesus (the Word)
was "a god" all he needed to do was add an EIS as in John 6:70. And
since you have been unable to show how John could have more strongly
proclaimed that the Word was fully God than he did in the Greek in John
1:1c, what can be said?
I have shown how John COULD have expressed John 1:1c as "and the Word
was a god." (By adding EIS.) You have not shown how John could have
added an article before THEOS. You have not shown how John could have
arranged the predicate nominative structure in John 1:1c so as to make
it more clear that the Word was fully God.
Forget all this other stuff. If you cannot do what I did - demonstrate
how John could have expressed as translated by the NWT, then you have
admitted that John could not have expressed the Word as fully God more
strongly than he did. If you think he could have made it more clear,
then just HOW, in Greek, could he have done that?
If you care to, give an example somewhere else in John where a parallel
structure to the predicate nominative structure of John 1:1c was used
and which resulted in an indefinite sort of translation."
The answer to this absurdity of the trivial and minute is as follows,
clearly showing the 'Big Picture':
"I have long learned in translating that one must take in consideration
the entire context, not one small point which in an overall translationbecomes meaningless and this with modern languages. Now with respect
ancient languages this fact becomes of the utmost importance since no
one today can say with absolute certainty exactly what is so. But if
one does not do so, he must surely be in error as later John wrote in
many places to the contrary in rather clear language. So are you
trying to say John contradicts himself or what. I have already
brought out this fact elsewhere as follows:
John 17 proves the Trinity is nothing but God (YHWH) dishonoring false
doctrine, a myth or legend, see the following.

John 17:1-19, "These things spake Jesus; and lifting up his eyes to
heaven, he said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that the
son may glorify thee: 2 even as thou gavest him authority over all
flesh, that to all whom thou hast given him, he should give eternal
life. 3 And this is life eternal, that they should know thee the only
true God, and him whom thou didst send, [even] Jesus Christ. 4 I
glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou
hast given me to do. nd now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own
self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. [Note,
here he partitions his Father (YHWH) to give him back the glory he
previously had; whereas, if he were one in a Trinity as some falsely
claim this would of course be senseless]. 6 I manifested thy name unto
the men whom thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou
gavest them to me; and they have kept thy word.[Note, here Jesus
(Yeshua) openly acknowledges that his followers were given to him by
his Father (YHWH) clearly showing two distince spirit beings; thus no
Trinity] 7 Now they know that all things whatsoever thou hast given me
are from thee:[ ][Note, here Jesus (Yeshua) openly acknowledges that
all he has was given to him by his Father (YHWH) clearly showing, oncemore, two distince spirit beings; thus no Trinity] 8 for the words
which thou gavest me I have given unto them; and they received [them],
and knew of a truth that I came forth from thee, and they believed that
thou didst send me. :[ ][Note, here Jesus (Yeshua) openly acknowledges
that the words he spake were given to him by his Father (YHWH) clearly
showing, once more, two distince spirit beings; thus no Trinity] 9 I
pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for those whom thou hast
given me; for they are thine: :[ ][Note, here Jesus (Yeshua) openly
acknowledges that his followers were given to him by his Father (YHWH)
clearly showing, once more, two distince spirit beings; thus no
Trinity] 10 and all things that are mine are thine, and thine are mine:
and I am glorified in them.
11 And I am no more in the world, and these are in the world, and I
come to thee. Holy Father, keep them in thy name which thou hast given
me, that they may be one, even as we [are]. :[ ][Note, here Jesus
(Yeshua) openly acknowledges that his followers were given to him by
his Father (YHWH) clearly showing, once more, two distince spirit
beings; thus no Trinity, and also they, the followers, were one in the
same sense that he was one with his father; that of unity in purpose]
12 While I was with them, I kept them in thy name which thou hast given
me: and I guarded them, and not one of them perished, but the son of
perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. :[ ][Note, here Jesus
(Yeshua) openly acknowledges that his followers were given to him by
his Father (YHWH) clearly showing, once more, two distince spirit
beings; thus no Trinity, and also they, the followers, were one in the
same sense that he was one with his father; that of unity in purpose]
13 But now I come to thee; and these things I speak in the world, thatthey may have my joy made full in themselves. 14 I have given them thy
word; and the world hated them, because they are not of the world, even
as I am not of the world. :[ ][Note, here Jesus (Yeshua) openly
acknowledges that his followers were given to him by his Father (YHWH)
clearly showing, once more, two distince spirit beings; thus no
Trinity] 15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them from the world,
but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil [one]. 16 They are not
of the world even as I am not of the world. 17 Sanctify them in the
truth: thy word is truth. 18 As thou didst send me into the world, even
8/3/2019 Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 3/10
so sent I them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify
myself, that they themselves also may be sanctified in truth." (ASV).
Clearly these scriptures show that the false God (YHWH) dishonoring
doctrine of the trinity is nothing but a myth, a legend of the words of
men as foretold by 2 Corinthians 4:4, "in whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of the unbelieving, that the light of the gospel
of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should not dawn [upon
them].
But as I have previously stated:
"I have answered your question and you have failed to acknowledge same,
to wit:
IN translating from one language to another and especially with respect
to one that handles articles quite different, you use an article if
that aids the meaning that the original writer intended whether strict
language 'rules of thumb' call or do not call for it. The Bible is
harmonious throughout and if a translated item does not agree with the
remainder, a good translator who is not biased will take that into
consideration.
Now let's look at the context in brief and the translational constructs
used. First consider a biased translation of John 1:1-4, "1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him
was life; and the life was the light of men." (Authorized King James
Bible; AV). The first translational construct clearly shows the Word,
Jesus (Yeshua), "was with God." The next translational construct
clearly says "and the Word was God"; now we have a mutual contradiction
and/or impossibility as one can NOT BE WITH SOMEONE AND BE THAT
SOMEONE, this does NOT jive with English usage as all should clearly
know. The next translational construct for John 1:2 says, "The same
was in the beginning with God." Clearly here again the same
impossibility. Clearly this translational construct, the 2 part of
John 1:1 can NOT BE CORRECT AS IT IS OUT OF HARMONY WITH CONTEXT. Why
anyone would have a problem seeing this obvious impossible situation is
beyond me. But some keep asking the same none sensible question over
and over on an obvious case where an item does NOT agree with context.
And the great German Bible Scholar and translator Dr. J. J. Griesbach
in his The Word for Word English Translation from Koine Greek to
English from The Vatican Manuscript #1209 definitely did not see it as
you falsely claim and not being a Koine Greek expert myself I will go
with his way which is as follows:
John 1:1-5 & 14, "1 In a beginning was the word, and the word was with
the God, and a god was the Word 2 This was in a beginning with the God.
3 All through it was done; and without it was done not even one, thathas been done. 4 In it life was, and the life was the light of the men,
5 and the light in the darkness shines, and the darkness it not
apprehended." And "14And the Word flesh became, and tabernacied among
us, (and we beheld the glory of him, a glory as of an only-begotten
from a father,) full of favor and truth,"

And neither did other excellent scholars who did NOT let any bias they
may have had as an individual effect their honesty in translating such
as the following:
The Complete Bible: An American Translation. Contributors: Edgar J.
Goodspeed - translator, J. M. Powis Smith - transltr. Publisher:
University of Chicago Press. Place of Publication: Chicago. Publication
Year: 1939.:
John 1:1-5 & 14, "1 IN THE beginning the Word exist- ed. The Word was
with God, and the Word was divine. 2 It was he that was with God in 3
the beginning. Everything came into ex- istence through him, and apart
from him 4 nothing came to be. It was by him that life came into
existence, and that life 5 was the light of mankind. The light is
still shining in the darkness, for the darkness has never put it out."
And "14 So the Word became flesh and blood and lived for a while among
us, abounding in blessing and truth, and we saw the honor God had given
him, such honor as an only son receives from his father."
A New Translation of The Bible by James Moffatt, D.D., D.Litt.:
Johnn 1:1-5 & 14, "The Logos existed in the very beginning, the Logos
was with God, the Logos was divine. 2 He was with God in the very
beginning: 3 through him all existence came into being, no existencecame into being apart from him. 4 In him life lay, and this life was
the Light for men; 5 amid the darkness the Light shone, and the
darkness did not master it." And "14 So the Logos became flesh and
tarried among us; we have seen his glory-glory such as an only sone
enjoys from his father-seen it to be full of grace and reality."
Which clearly shows that the translation of John 1:1 is definitely in
question with respect what it should be. That is until you consider
the context so I do NOT plan to get into silly differences about small
points, but point to the obvious fact that your desired rendering does
not fit to context. All the silly coloring in your post change nothing.
This Trinitarian clearly missed the point as shown my his following
comment:
"(Concerning John 1:1c) This does not address the very significant
question... how could John have expressed it in the Greek so as to make
it more clear that the Son is God in essence? I have demonstrated that
the NWT rendering of "a god" (in John 1:1c) is not valid. The
arguments regarding the lack of an article are completely irrelevant.
And these rules concerning the usage of the article are NOT "rules of
thumb."'
The answer to the Trinitarian, you obviously missed what John was
trying to express as clearly shown in the Book of John as follows:
John 1:34 - :And I have seen and borne witness that this is the Son of God."
John 1:49 - :
Natan'el said, "Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of
Isra'el!"
John 1:51 - :
Then he said to him, "Yes indeed! I tell you that you will see heaven
opened and the angels of God going up and coming down on the Son of
Man!"
John 3:16 - :

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 5/10
"For God so loved the world that he gave his only and unique Son, so
that everyone who trusts in him may have eternal life, instead of being
utterly destroyed.
John 5:25 - :
Yes, indeed! I tell you that there is coming a time -- in fact, it's
already here -- when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God,
and those who listen will come to life.
John 6:27 - :
Don't work for the food which passes away but for the food that stays
on into eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For this is
the one on whom God the Father has put his seal."
John 11:4 - :
On hearing it, he said, "This sickness will not end in death. No, it is
for God's glory, so that the Son of God may receive glory through it."
John 11:27 - :
She said to him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the
Son of God, the one coming into the world."
John 13:31 - :
After Y'hudah had left, Yeshua said, "Now the Son of Man has been
glorified, and God has been glorified in him.
John 19:7 - :The Judeans answered him, "We have a law; according to that law, he
ought to be put to death, because he made himself out to be the Son of
God."
John 20:31 - :
But these which have been recorded are here so that you may trust that
Yeshua is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by this trust you may
have life because of who he is.

As can clearly be seen from these scriptures, John was clearly making
the case that Jesus (Yeshua) was NOT God (YHWH), but the Son of God
(YHWH).
Also, you have NOT demonstrated what you claim and to what Bible you
are referring to? Perhaps the Interlineary Word for Word English
Translation of Dr. J. J. Griesbach of the Vatican Manuscript #1209?
Or Das Neue Testament, by Ludwig Thimme, "and the Word was a God.", or
the work of , Lyder Brun (Norw. professor of NT theology, "selbst ein
Gott war das Wort" [itself a God/god was the Word/word]?
And:
you are making an assumption with respect the use of an article and we
all know what assumptions are. Second, Only two of Jesus" (Yeshua's)Apostles were 'lettered' men, Luke and Paul, John was not, and I very
strongly doubt that when he wrote John 1:1 he was even thinking of
modalism. I believe if you will but look at 1 Corinthians 15:27-28,
"for "He put everything in subjection under his feet."m But when it
says that "everything" has been subjected, obviously the word does not
include God, who is himself the one subjecting everything to the
Messiah. 28 Now when everything has been subjected to the Son, then he
will subject himself to God, who subjected everything to him; so that
God may be everything in everyone. " (The Complete Jewish Bible -

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 6/10

Publications, Inc.) which clearly shows the relationship, otherwise
the statement, ", obviously the word does not include God, who is
himself the one subjecting everything to the Messiah", so now I hope
you see the error in your reasoning. And Third, as I have said many
times in the past, the first rule of translation is NOT the wasting
time with minute trivials such as an article, but in rendering the
exact thoughts of the original article; to wit, his/her thoughts and
this can best be done by having a translational construct in agreement
with context., as I previously said:
translating from one language to another and especially with respect to
one that handles articles quite different, you use an article if that
aids the meaning that the original writer intended whether strict
language 'rules of thumb' call or do not call for it. The Bible is
harmonous throughout and if a translated item does not agree with the
remainder, a good translator who is not biased will take that into
consideration.
Now let's look at the context in brief and the translational constructs
used. First consider a biased translation of John 1:1-4, "1 In the
beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word wasGod. 2 The same was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made
by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4 In him
was life; and the life was the light of men." (Authorized King James
Bible; AV). The first translational construct clearly shows the Word,
Jesus (Yeshua), "was with God." The next translational construct
clearly says "and the Word was God"; now we have a mutual contradiction
and/or impossibility as one can NOT BE WITH SOMEONE AND BE THAT
SOMEONE, this does NOT jive with English usage as all should clearly
know. The next translational construct for John 1:2 says, "The same
was in the beginning with God." Clearly here again the same
impossibility. Clearly this translational construct, the 2 part of
John 1:1 can NOT BE CORRECT AS IT IS OUT OF HARMONY WITH CONTEXT. Why
anyone would have a problem seeing this obvious impossible situation is
beyond me. But some keep asking the same none sensible question over
and over on an obvious case where an item does NOT agree with context
And:
The Trinitarian's statement:
"that Jesus is God?"
Is ridicules prima fascia since it is likewise a well known fact that a
son is NOT his father as you are trying to convince me of. This is
utterly ridicules contention and one without redeeming features. Just
why do you think God (YHWH) gave us the terms father and son, and had
divinely inspired writers use these terms in explaining his
relationship to his Son, Jesus (Yeshua)? Obviously to explainheavenly things in things mankind can understand, not so man could
twist them and come up with what is impossible, prima fascia.
In stating this, this Trinitarian, also clearly overlooked the
following by, Uriyah the Messiahite:
"John 5:26 For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has
granted the Son also to have life in himself
8/3/2019 Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 7/10
John 6:57 Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the
Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me.
By the words of Jesus, Jesus was not eternal; he was given to have life
in himself and lives because of the Father. A eternal being cannot be
given to have life in themselves, and they do not depend on others to
live. " [source - writing of Uriyah the Messiahite]
HOW BELIEVERS IN THE TRINITY HAVE REACTED TO OTHER ISSUES IN THE PAST,
A STUDY IN ABSURDITY;
It is a well known fact that in the middle ages that the Catholic
church and many of the so called reformed groups taught and believed in
the Ptolemaic System. This is the theory that the sun and the other
planets revolved around the earth as opposed to the Copernican System
that the planets including the earth revolved around the sun.
In fact one of the trivial minute these Trinitarians used to "prove"
the Ptolemaic System theory was that when a blade of straw fell to the
ground it reflected sun light in such a manner as to prove and/or showthe sun was revolving around the earth. Many arguments and discussions
over this silly trivial minute were carried on instead of looking at
the 'Big Picture' just as the nonsense over the trivial with regard to
John 1:1 previously shown. This is a repeat of the same narrow viewing
which is when looked at in perspective and objectively absurd. All
should seek to gain an understanding of the 'Big Picture' and not get
drawn into argument over narrow trivial that is definitely not
profitable. This type of narrow thinking reflects back to my response
to a Trinitarian on a similar narrow thinking on translation which was:
""I have long learned in translating that one must take in
consideration the entire context, not one small point which in an
overall translation becomes meaningless and this with modern languages.
Now with respect ancient languages this fact becomes of the utmost
importance since no one today can say with absolute certainty exactly
what is so. But if one does not do so, he must surely be in error as
later John wrote in many places to the contrary in rather clear
language. So are you trying to say John contradicts himself or what"
But let's look with respect to what absurdities the Trinitarians in the
past took this Ptolemaic System. They even burnt a very learned
Italian, Giordani Bruno, to death at the stake for not indulging in
their absurd narrow arguments attempting to prove the un-provable, the
Ptolemaic System, at the stake. Why?
He took the 'Big Picture" approach and showed that the Ptolemaic System
was wrong. Now of course this is absolutely absurd, but it shows to
what extremes groups go to when they get wrapped up in trivial minuteinstead of elevating discussions to the general or 'Big Picture.' See:
"Giordano Bruno[jOrdA´nO brOO´nO] Pronunciation Key, 1548-1600, Italian
philosopher, b. Nola. He entered the Dominican order early in his youth
but was accused of heresy and fled (c.1576) to take up a career of
study and travel. He taught briefly at Toulouse, Paris, Oxford, and
Wittenberg, but, personally restless and in constant opposition to the
traditional schools, he found no permanent post. His major metaphysical
works, De la causa, principio, et uno (1584, tr. The Infinite in
Giordano Bruno, 1950) and De l'infinito, universo et mondi (1584), were
8/3/2019 Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 8/10
published in France. Further works appeared in England and Germany.
Bruno also wrote satire and poetry. In 1591 he returned to Venice,
where he was tried for heresy by the Inquisition. After imprisonment at
Rome, he was burned to death. Bruno challenged all dogmatism, including
that of the Copernican cosmology, the main tenets of which, however, he
upheld. He believed that our perception of the world is relative to the
position in space and time from which we view it and that there are as
many possible modes of viewing the world as there are possible
positions. Therefore we cannot postulate absolute truth or any limit to
the progress of knowledge. He pictured the world as composed of
individual elements of being, governed by fixed laws of relationship.
These elements, called monads, were ultimate and irreducible and were
based on a pantheistic infinite principle, or cause, or Deity, manifest
in us and in all the world. Bruno's influence on later philosophy,
especially that of Spinoza and Leibniz, was profound.
See P. H. Michel, The Cosmology of Giordano Bruno (tr. 1973); S. Drake,
Copernicus : Philosophy and Science: Bruno : Kepler : Galileo (1973);
F. A. Yates, Lull and Bruno (1982)."[source - The Columbia Electronic
Encyclopedia Copyright (c) 2003, Columbia University Press.]
Now Let's look at the facts, 'Big Picture', with respect this theory of
the Ptolemaic System, by considering the Copernican System model or
theory and how it differed from the Ptolemaic System model by looking
at some facts.
The Copernican Model: A Sun-Centered Solar System"
The Earth-centered Universe of Aristotle and Ptolemy held sway on
Western thinking for almost 2000 years. Then, in the 16th century a new
idea was proposed by the Polish astronomer Nicolai Copernicus (1473-
1543).
The Heliocentric System.
In a book called On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Bodies (that was
published as Copernicus lay on his deathbed), Copernicus proposed that
the Sun, not the Earth, was the center of the Solar System. Such a
model is called a heliocentric system. The ordering of the planets
known to Copernicus in this new system is illustrated in the following
figure, which we recognize as the modern ordering of those planets.
The Copernican Universe
In this new ordering the Earth is just another planet (the third
outward from the Sun), and the Moon is in orbit around the Earth, not
the Sun. The stars are distant objects that do not revolve around the
Sun. Instead, the Earth is assumed to rotate once in 24 hours, causing
the stars to appear to revolve around the Earth in the oppositedirection.
Retrograde Motion and Varying Brightness of the Planets
The Copernican system by banishing the idea that the Earth was the
center of the Solar System, immediately led to a simple explanation of
both the varying brightness of the planets and retrograde motion:
1. The planets in such a system naturally vary in brightness because
they are not always the same distance from the Earth.
8/3/2019 Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 9/10
2. The retrograde motion could be explained in terms of geometry and a
faster motion for planets with smaller orbits, as illustrated in the
following animation.
"Brahe, Tycho , 1546-1601, Danish astronomer. The most prominent
astronomer of the late 16th cent., he paved the way for future
discoveries by improving instruments and by his precision in fixing the
positions of planets and stars. From Brahe's exact observations of the
planets, Kepler devised his laws of planetary motions (see Kepler's
laws). Brahe's achievements included the study of a supernova (first
observed in 1572 and now known as Tycho's supernova) in the
constellation Cassiopeia and the discoveries of a variation in the
inclination of the lunar orbit and of the fourth inequality of the
moon's motion. He never fully accepted the Copernican system but made a
compromise between it and the Ptolemaic system. In the Tychonic system,
the earth was the immobile body around which the sun revolved, and the
five planets then known revolved around the sun. Given funds by the
Danish king Frederick II, Brahe built on the island of Ven a castle,
Uranienborg, and an observatory, Stjarneborg. He was deprived of his
revenues by Christian IV in 1596 and left Ven (1597); in 1599 he
settled near Prague under the patronage of the German emperor RudolfII. He published (1588) De mundi aetherii recentioribus phaenomenis,
the second volume of a projected three-volume work on his astronomical
observations; from an incomplete manuscript and notes Kepler edited
Volume I, Astronomiae instauratae progymnasmata (1602). Brahe's
Astronomiae instauratae mechanica (1598) contained his autobiography
and a description of his instruments.
The preface of Osiander, pretending that the book of Copernicus
suggested a hypothesis instead of announcing a truth, served its
purpose well. During nearly seventy years the Church authorities
evidently thought it best not to stir the matter, and in some cases
professors like Calganini were allowed to present the new view purely
as a hypothesis. There were, indeed, mutterings from time to time on
the theological side, but there was no great demonstration against the
system until 1616. Then, when the Copernican doctrine was upheld by
Galileo as a truth, and proved to be a truth by his telescope, the book
was taken in hand by the Roman curia. The statements of Copernicus were
condemnned, ``until they should be corrected''; and the corrections
required were simply such as would substitute for his conclusions the
old Ptolemaic theory.
That this was their purpose was seen in that year when Galileo was
forbidden to teach or discuss the Copernican theory, and when were
forbidden ``all books which affirm the motion of the earth.''
Henceforth to read the work of Copernicus was to risk damnation, and
the world accepted the decree. The strongest minds were thus held fast.
If they could not believe the old system, they must pretend that they
believed it; - and this, even after the great circumnavigation of theglobe had done so much to open the eyes of the world! Very striking is
the case of the eminent Jesuit missionary Joseph Acosta, whose great
work on the Natural and Moral History of the Indies, published in the
last quarter of the sixteenth century, exploded so many astronomical
and geographical errors. Though at times curiously credulous, he told
the truth as far as he dared; but as to the movement of the heavenly
bodies he remained orthodox - declaring, ``I have seen the two poles,
whereon the heavens turn as upon their axletrees.'' [source - Warfare

8/3/2019 Discourse on Confusion by Trivial Minute by Trinitarians
http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/discourse-on-confusion-by-trivial-minute-by-trinitarians 10/10
As can clearly be seen, Trinitarians get wrapped up in their own
pursuit of trivial and are not capable of opening up to the more
general or 'Big Picture' at a higher level or plain. That is why this
myth or legend created by ancient Greek philosophers just like the
Ptolemaic System theory. The only reason they are not still backing
the Ptolemaic System theory today is that it was so badly shown by true
science to be in error that even these diehard lovers of trivial and
minute could no longer argue against the Copernican System model as
modern science has made this completely impossible. Now they content
themselves with trying to defend the absurdity of the Trinity another
myth or legend created by ancient Greek philosophers originally
introduced into so called Christianity, actually apostate or
counterfeit Christianity by a pagan Roman Emperor as an attempt to gain
religious unity to beef up his slowly crumbling empire. When so called
Christian Bishops permit a pagan to call a so called Christian Church
Council, Council of Nicea of 325 AD you know they have departed from
the true ways of Christ. This Council of Nicea of 325 AD even usurped
God's (YHWH's) exclusive legitimate right to declare which day was the
Sabbath day by declaring that it was Sunday; whereas, God (YHWH) had
declared it was Saturday which is quite clear if you look at theSpanish word for Saturday, 'Sabado.'
