Examining The Trinity Doctrine:
Part 3
WHO ARE THE FALSE PREACHERS?
“Majority
of those who profess that they are Christians adhere to the belief that God is
a Trinity. Does this prove that Iglesia Ni Cristo ministers are false preachers
because of their rejection of the Trinity doctrine?”
A
PREACHER IS supposed to know and teach the truth, otherwise he could not expect
anyone to understand and believe what he preaches. False preachers do not
understand what they preach. Concerning them, the Apostle Paul said:
“They want to be teachers of God's law, but they do not understand
their own words or the matters about which they speak with so much confidence.”
(I Timothy 1:7 TEV)
False
teachers “do not understand their own words or the matters about which they
speak.” Regarding the Trinity doctrine this is what Catholic priests admitted
about it:
“The Trinity is a wonderful mystery. No one understands it. The most
learned theologian, the holiest Pope, the greatest saint, all are mystified by
it as the child of seven.” (Martin J. Scott, S.J., God and Myself, p. 118)
As Catholic
priests themselves admitted, the “Trinity” (which Catholic theologians, popes,
bishops, and priests boldly preach) is a “mystery” that “No one understand it”
even the most learned theologians, the “holiest Pope” and the “greatest saint.”
They further admitted that “all are mystified by it as a child of seven.”
Catholic theologians, popes and saints preaching the “Trinity” without
understanding it? This is what the Bible says about them, quoting again I
Timothy 1:7, this time from Revised Standard Version:
“Desiring to be teachers of the law, without understanding either
what they are saying or the things about which they make assertions.” (I
Timothy 1:7, RSV)
Thus, those
who preach the Trinity doctrine are the false preachers, not only that they
don’t understand their Trinity doctrine, but that this doctrine they uphold
contradicts the teachings of the true preachers like the Lord Jesus Christ and
the apostles.
Regarding the
belief of the Iglesia Ni Cristo about God, the doctrine that the Father alone
is the True God, is affirmed and confirmed by the Holy Scriptures. This is what
the Lord Jesus Christ teaches:
“Jesus spoke these words, lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said:
"Father…And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true
God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” (John 17:1,3 NKJV)
Apostle Paul
also teaches the following:
“Yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things,
and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and
through whom we live.” (I Corinthians 8:6 NKJV)
Thus, the
doctrine that the Father is the One True God that uphold by the Iglesia Ni
Cristo (Church of Christ) is also the doctrine that was taught by the Lord
Jesus Christ and the Apostles. Those who teach that the Father is the One True
God that created us are true messengers of God:
“Don't we all have the same father? Didn't the same God create us
all?…
“It is the duty of priests to teach the true knowledge of God.
People should go to them to learn my will, because they are the messengers of
the LORD Almighty.” (Malachi 2:10, 7, TEV)
The belief
that the Father alone is the one true God is the true knowledge about God that
is taught by true messengers of God. Thus, true preachers like the Lord Jesus
Christ, the apostles and the prophets explicitly preached that the Father alone
is the true God.
INDEED,
THOSE WHO PREACH THE TRINITY DOCTRINE ARE THE FALSE PREACHERS!
