- Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are God.
- Each person is distinct from the others.
Biblical Examination of the Trinity
1 Timothy 3:16
- Trinitarian Interpretation: God was manifest in the flesh.
- Critique: Original text refers to "He who was manifest," indicating Yahawashi, not God.
Oneness Doctrine vs. Trinity
- Oneness Doctrine: Yahawashi is the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit at different times.
- Trinity: Coexistence of the three distinct persons.
2 John 1:7
- Clarification: Yahawashi came in the flesh, not the Most High.
Hebrews 10:5
- Context: Yahawashi's body was prepared by the Most High.
Hebrews 1:8
- Interpretation: Yahawashi is acknowledged as God but not equal to the Most High.
- Contextual Clarification: Psalms 82:6 and Isaiah 44:6 explain the distinction of position and power.
Yahawashi's Teachings
John 14:28
- Statement: Yahawashi declares the Father is greater than He is.
Trinitarian Biblical Passages
Matthew 3:16
- Critique: Spirit descending is not a person; it represents the anointing power.
John 5:37
- Clarification: The voice at baptism was an angel, not the Most High.
Resurrection Argument
- Three Claims:
- Yahawashi raised Himself (John 10:17-18).
- Spirit raised Him (Romans 8:11).
- The Father raised Him (Galatians 1:1).
- Clarification: Power to rise was granted by the Father.
Understanding the Holy Spirit
- Trinitarian Misunderstanding: Holy Spirit as a separate person.
- Correct View: Holy Spirit is the manifested power of the Most High.
Ephesians 4:3-6
- Clarification: One God is the Father above all; not a trinity.
Critique of Scriptural Additions
Matthew 28:19
- Argument: Words supporting Trinity were added later.
- Historical Evidence: Early Hebrew manuscripts and writings by Eusebius & St. Jerome.
1 John 5:7-8
- Analysis: Additions of "Father, Word, and Holy Ghost" were later insertions.
- Historical Context: Erasmus and other scholars acknowledge these inclusions.
Conclusion
