Answer: NO!!! ABSOLUTELY WRONG! The ancient Christian even confirms that the doctrine of TRINITY is true, that indeed there are “THREE DIVINE PERSON yet one GOD.” As indeed the TRINITY was taught in the Bible, albeit in seminal form. Below are compilations of Ancient Christian Writings as early as 1st century AD.
The Didache
“After the foregoing instructions, baptize in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, in living [running] water. . . . If you have neither, pour water three times on the head, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” (Didache 7:1 [A.D. 70]).
Ignatius of Antioch
“[T]o the Church at Ephesus in Asia . . . chosen through true suffering by the will of the Father in Jesus Christ our God” (Letter to the Ephesians 1 [A.D. 110]). “For our God, Jesus Christ, was conceived by Mary in accord with God’s plan: of the seed of David, it is true, but also of the Holy Spirit” (ibid., 18:2).
Justin Martyr
“We will prove that we worship him reasonably; for we have learned that he is the Son of the true God himself, that he holds a second place, and the Spirit of prophecy a third. For this they accuse us of madness, saying that we attribute to a crucified man a place second to the unchangeable and eternal God, the Creator of all things; but they are ignorant of the mystery which lies therein” (First Apology 13:5–6 [A.D. 151]).
Theophilus of Antioch
“It is the attribute of God, of the most high and almighty and of the living God, not only to be everywhere, but also to see and hear all; for he can in no way be contained in a place. . . . The three days before the luminaries were created are types of the Trinity: God, his Word, and his Wisdom” (To Autolycus 2:15 [A.D. 181]).
Irenaeus
“For the Church, although dispersed throughout the whole world even to the ends of the earth, has received from the apostles and from their disciples the faith in one God, the Father Almighty . . . and in one Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who became flesh for our salvation; and in the Holy Spirit” (Against Heresies 1:10:1 [A.D. 189]).
The Holy TRINITY is ultimately a deep mystery, impossible for the human mind to comprehend. Yet GOD undeniably reveals Himself the way in the Bible. Many Scriptural passages mention all these three Divine Persons, but the most direct biblical evidence is found in those passages of Holy Scriptures where God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are called God, and are all described as possessing the same property divine attributes, such as eternally, power, glory, and so forth. Below are the passages that strongly describe all three in most Divine attributes;
Who raised Jesus from the dead? The HOLY TRINITY…
The Father:
Galatians 1:1
Paul an apostle—sent neither by human commission nor from human authorities, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead—
1 Thessolonians 1:10
10 and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead—Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath that is coming.
The Son:
John 10:17-18
17 For this reason the Father loves me, because I lay down my life in order to take it up again. 18 No one takes[a] it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it up again. I have received this command from my Father.”
The Holy Spirit:
Romans 8:11
11 If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.
Who dwells in believers? The HOLY TRINITY…
The Father:
1 Corinthians 3:16-17
16 Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? 17 If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy that person. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.
The Son:
John 14:20
20 On that day you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you.
John 17:23
23 I in them and you in me, that they may become completely one, so that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
1 John 3:24
24 All who obey his commandments abide in him, and he abides in them. And by this we know that he abides in us, by the Spirit that he has given us.
The Holy Spirit:
Romans 8:9
9 But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
1 Corinthians 2:12
12 Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit that is from God, so that we may understand the gifts bestowed on us by God.
The Father the Son and the Holy Spirit:
1 John 4:12-16
12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God lives in us, and his love is perfected in us. 13 By this we know that we abide in HIM and HE in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and do testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. 15 God abides in those who confess that Jesus is the Son of God, and they abide in God. 16 So we have known and believe the love that God has for us. God is love, and those who abide in love abide in God, and God abides in them.
Who search minds and hearts? The HOLY TRINITY…
The Father:
Jeremiah 17:10
10 I the Lord test the mind and search the heart, to give to all according to their ways, according to the fruit of their doings.
The Son:
Revelation 2:23
23 and I will strike her children dead. And all the churches will know that I am the one who searches minds and hearts, and I will give to each of you as your works deserve.
The Holy Spirit:
1 Corinthians 2:10
10 these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.
As we can see, all three possessed the same Divinity. All three manifested the same glory and power; all are proven to be three Distinct Person Yet proven to be ONE GOD.
Now some may object that there are passages suggesting that the Father is greater than the SON, so how come they are equal in power?
John 14:28 “The Father is greater than I”
1 Corinthians 15:28 “When all things are subjected to Him, the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be everything to everyone.”
Answer: No! It is absolutely wrong! These passages should not be understood in this way. In the light of passage like for example as Philippians 2:5-8 says;
Philippians 2:5-8
5 Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: 6 who, existing in the form of God, counted not the being on an equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men; 8he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of death— even death on a cross.
It only shows us that Jesus in John 14:28 was speaking strictly in terms of His office/purpose as Messiah, which entailed a temporary giving up of certain DIVINE PREROGATIVES. Jesus subjected himself to the Father in order to undertake His role as the incarnate son and Mediator between God and man. But Jesus remains God, even while “humbling” Himself by becoming a man. Indeed, that He had to lower Himself to become man implies that Jesus was indeed DIVINE.
The scripture also confirms that indeed the Father is, in certain sense, “SUBJECT” to the Son;
John 16:15
“All that the Father has is MINE, therefore I said that He will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
In 1 Corinthians 11:3, the Father is indeed called the “head” of the Son, but this is to be understood in the same sense in which the Bible tells wives to be submissive to their husbands, even though the two are equals, and indeed, “one flesh.” The scripture also says that Jesus was “subject” to Mary and Joseph his Parents.
Luke 2:51
51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.
Besides, submissiveness or servant hood is not presented as a sign of inferiority in for even the MASTER should also serve.
Matthew 23:11
“He who is greatest among you shall be your servant”
The Greek word for “greatest” is “MEIZON”, also used in John 14;28. Moreover, in 1 Corinthians 15:28, the subjection spoken of is that of the Son as incarnate. But this is not absolutely INEQUALITY, since Colossians proclaims JESUS is greatest of ALL!!!
Colossians 3:11
“Christ is all, and in ALL.”
The doctrine of the Trinity is encapsulated in Matthew 28:19, where Jesus instructs the apostles: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.”
The parallelism of the Father, the Son, and the Spirit is not unique to Matthew’s Gospel, but appears elsewhere in the New Testament (2 Cor. 13:14, Heb. 9:14), as well as in the writings of the earliest Christians, who clearly understood them in the sense that we do today—that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are three divine persons who are one divine being (GOD).
2 Corinthians 13:14
May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
Hebrews 9:14
14 how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without blemish to God, purify our conscience from dead works to worship the living God!
