Examining the Trtinity Doctrine: Does Trinity make sense?

Examining The Trinity: 

DOES TRINITY MAKE SENSE?

Why Iglesia Ni Cristo rejects the doctrine that the One true God is consists of three persons (God the father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit)?

LET US EXAMINE and make a comparison of the doctrine upheld by the Iglesia Ni Cristo (Church Of Christ) that the Father alone is the only true God with those of the Catholics and Protestants (let us call them “Trinitarians”) that the one true God is consists of three persons (God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit).

WHICH IS LOGICAL? WHICH IS ILLOGICAL?

 

Which belief about God is logical and which is illogical? The belief of the Iglesia Ni Cristo or the belief of the Trinitarians?

         The Iglesia Ni Cristo:

                    The Father only = One True God

 

          The Trinitarians:

                    God the       God the       God the

                    Father   +    Son         +   Holy Spirit   =   One God (?)

 

         Logic says:

                    1   +   1   +   1   =   3

 

WHICH IS BIBLICAL? WHICH IS UNBIBLICAL?

 

         The Iglesia Ni Cristo:

“There is only one true God, the Father, and besides Him there’s no one else.”

          The Trinitarians:

The Triune God, the Trinity: There is God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit, and these three, each of whom are true God, are only one God.

 

          The Bible says:

“After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed: ‘Father, the time has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.

“Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.” (John 17:1, 3 NIV)

“Yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.” (I Corinthians 8:6 NIV)

“Have we not all one Father? Did not one God create us? Why do we profane the covenant of our fathers by breaking faith with one another?” (Malachi 2:10 NIV)

“Do not tremble, do not be afraid. Did I not proclaim this and foretell it long ago? You are my witnesses. Is there any God besides me? No, there is no other Rock; I know not one.” (Isaiah 44:8 NIV)

WHICH MAKES SENSE? WHICH IS NOT MAKING ANY SENSE?

 

         The Iglesia Ni Cristo:

“Because there is only one true God, the Father, thus the Lord Jesus Christ is not God because He is the Son of the one true God, and the Holy Spirit is also not God because he is the one that is sent by the Father (the one true God) in the name of Jesus Christ. The Father alone is the true God.”

 

          The Trinitarians:

“The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is also God. These three are all true Gods (co-equal, co-eternal and co-substantial). However, God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit (these three) are only one God.

The Admission of the Catholic authorities:

A Catholic priest testifies that the Trinity “cannot be proved by the reason…” (Bounth, C. J., S.J. The Blessed Trinity. London: Catholic Truth Society, p. 21.)

Indeed, it's the Trinity that does not make any sense.
