DEVELOMENTAL ACTS IN THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY
AND OF MATHEW 28:19. A SPECTACULAR VIEW OF REALITY
REAL HARD TO BELIEVE!
These topics will began from the time that the Doctrine of The Trinity was officially re-affirmed
And back to the days of its initiation.
In the year 381 A.D. The Emperor Theodosius 1 headed a gathering at the Council of Constantinople after some months prior
he have declared:
‘LET US BELIEVE IN ONE GODHEAD CONSISTING OF THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST
OF EQUAL MAJESTY IN A HOLY TRINITY. WE COMMAND THAT THE ASCRIBERS TO THIS FAITH BE CALLED CATHOLIC CHRISTIANS…WE
MARK ALL SENSELESS FOLLOWERS OF OTHER RELIGIONS WITH THE INFAMOUS TITLE OF HERETICS….
(Notice that this was a declaration of a “new formulated belief THEIR WAY OF SALVATION)”.
In the year 325 A.D. at the Council in Nicene, The Emperor Victor Constantinus approved this Creed, which is called “The
Creed of the Apostles”.
“We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Word from God, Light from Light, Life from Life, the only begotten Son, the First born of all Creatures, begotten of the
Father before all worlds, through whom also all things were made. Who for our salvation became incarnated and lived among
men, and suffered and rose again on the third day, and ascended to the Father, and shall come again in glory to judge the
quick and the dead, and in the Holy Ghost. Believing each of them to be and to have existed and subsisted as each of these
three persons: the Father, only the Father, and the Son, only the Son, and the Holy Ghost, only the Holy Ghost, even as our
Lord also, when He sent forth the disciples to preach the gospel said Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name
of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost.
After that, this edict was issue:
Victor Constantinus…to the heretics:
Understand now by this present law, …. All who devise and support…heresies by your private assemblies…
we hereby give warning that none of you henceforth presume to assemble yourselves together, We have decreed, that you be deprived
of all the houses in which you are accustomed to hold your assemblies and that these be immediately given to the Catholic
Church. NOTE: (“they” made this declaration, against believers who continued on the DOCTRINE OF THE APOSTLES
and “their group” was first officially called Catholic church there and then, latter on “they” added
the term “Holy” to make it read Holy Catholic Church; and still later yet was make known as: Holy Apostolic Roman
Catholic Church.)
The above edict was from the Emperor of Rome who adopted himself this title from a pagan god, MAXIMOUS PONTIFICE. He was
not even baptized yet; he refused the sacrament, and we are told he got baptized at the point of dead, it is believable he
was the first to receive the sprinkling of water as one of the last helps from a priest to the one that is imminently dieing
(extremauncion) and the Bishoprick all of them, bowed down before him even knowing that he still was praying to men-made gods,
and trusting in a pagan symbol cross long before he knew of the cross of calvary. About 310 A.D. His conversion was a “lips
conversion” which happened at time when de Deity of the Lord Jesus was the object of different theories, “Pro”
and “anti”, who The Lord Jesus was; if he was the Christ of God, The Word who always was with The Speaker and
always The Power and the Wisdom of God or was he a product of the Father, (second to the One who was the Fist Cause of all)
therefore subject always to the Father in a nature to change as any other creature of God. (minur et secundie classis Deus)
Also around those times, debates were taken place about the words of Jesus “I and the Father are one..”
Because various assumptions of plurality of Gods have appeared years early. Tertullian, a Roman Philosopher Lawyer, Author
and translator, have translated from Greek the word “Tpi’as” to the Latin word “Trinitas”. “Trinity
in English“ (born in Africa 145 A.D. converted at 185 A.D and MADE BISHOP FIVE YEARS LATER!
The word Tpi’as, was used first by Theophilus a Disciple of the Disciples of the Apostles about 170 A.D. to explain
the Tpi’as of God, as Father, Word and Wisdom (power) but Tertullian translated this Tpi’as of God into “Trinitas
Deus” God in three Persons. Wherefrom he got that inspiration? From no other that Justin the Martir who was martyred
about the time Tertullian was born, but he believed in Justin’s writings Justin never said “God existed in three
persons, but he said: the First God, the second God and the Third God, …they are invisible to our eyes, they can be
seen only with our minds, as Plato said, and I believe him… .But Justin’s sympathizer Tertullian, translated first
God to first Person, Second God to Second Person, Third God to Third Person. It is a wonder why later on he wrote …EVEN
IF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES ASSESTED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A VISIBLE APPEARANCE OF GOD THE FATHER, I WOULD NOT BELIEVE FOR MYSELF…
He also have dared to modify Justin’s “formula for baptism” whose formula was re-emplaced for another formula,
which also was changed for another formula and that another, changed for another. Strange or ridiculous as funny as it appears,
yet true it is!.
1. - Justin’s formula: …in the name of the Father, unknown to all, and of the truth mother of all, and of he
who descended upon Jesus. (Justin believed his formula was for remission of sins and be born of water… (Wherefrom he
got that? No from Matthew 28:19!!)
2. - Second formula: …three immersions, one for each Person in the “Trinitas“. (Latin)
3. - Third formula: When “they” began to be called by the title “father”; Father Hippolitus began
to baptize converts …for remission of sins three times, three names, three persons, one immersion for each Divine Person.
Then they invented the watery sign of a cross on the forehead of a candidate to baptism. This formula was deactivated to active
the formula known today that was officially recognized as already mentioned. (After 325 A.D. Council of Nicene)
QUESTIONS:
1. - Why Justin was moved to invent a baptismal formula?
2. - Why the others also did it?
3. - Why in a space of more of 200 years A.D were those attempts made?.
4. - How, Justin, Tertullian, Father Hippolitus, Father EUSEBIOUS and the rest of all of them had been
baptized?. Eusebious was Father Eusebious and became Bishop of Caesarea early 300 A.D; Bishop and not baptized (?)
According to Catholic writings, the Gospel according to Apostle Matthew, got lost after its translation from Hebrew to
Greek, around the end of the first century; and they say …“The Greek text however, is in substantial conformity
with the original..”. So, since “they” had “that translation”, why “they had” those
anomalous things in baptism? History shows that at the time Father Hippolitus were baptizing new converts with his formula,
it was because “they” still did not have the Gospel according to Matthew‘s Hebrew Text, or the Greek Text?.
. That was around the 300 A.D. In the mean time some translations of Scriptures were subject to be done by some individuals
who ..modified, remove words and altered the text according to their own criterion…;(Catholic History) even till 380
A.D. (?) when Pope Damasus 1, ordered the “gathering of all Scriptures” to study and choose which were to form
what we know as the N T, (obviously by then Matthew’s original Gospel they didn’t have yet, but did they have
the Greek translation by then?); translations from Greek to Latin and modifying was done by Father Donatus 380 A.D. (?) And
the Latin Bible was the first copy of Scriptures printed in the world, we are told!. But other Catholic historians also say
that in the year 150 A.D. the Gospel written by Matthew was found in a place by the name Cochin, India, by a Egyptian Christian
doing missionary work, probable among the Hebrew colony who had fled from Jerusalem because the persecution to Hebrew Christians;
or some converts of Apostle Thomas who pioneered the work in India; the name of the missionary was Pantaenus, we are told,
he mentioned that all that time the Hebrew writing of Matthew was in the care of Barnabas who brought that writing to them,
whether he took the writing to the library of Caesarea or somebody else did it, it is not known, the fact is The Gospel according
to Apostle Matthew was never lost. Were this believers in India?, baptized according to Matthew 28:19 in the formula mentioned
by the Emperor Constantinus in the creed presented as the “Apostles Creed? NO, because in the original writing of the
Apostle Matthew does not say …baptizing them in the name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost. And by the
way, the creed so called The Apostles’ Creed, was not the Apostles’ Creed, they all died before the first century,
that creed, was written after the second century. Then, Who is to blame for making us believe that the Apostles wrote that
writing? I grew up believing that, it, was giving to me at Saturday’s Catechism Hour in the parochial of my vicinity
in Mexico City; by the same token, who is to blame for making us believe that the Lord Jesus said words about baptism that
He never said! Is it no something? While for hundreds of years some people had a variety of baptismal formulas because “they”
did not have the Gospel written by Matthew, (but they did have the Greek text “they said“); others” in Cochin,
India who had the original writing of Matthew, they continued with the same manner of baptism given at the beginning of the
Church at Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. As it can be seen in all baptisms in Acts of the Apostles.! The Hebrew Christians
at India knew that baptism in The Name of The Lord was known as …The distinctive sign of truth… the Hebrew
Scriptures say of their single Deity; …will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen…and in all…
who are called by my name, saith the Lord that doeth this.. ; At the Council of The Apostles at Jerusalem 50 A.D. this
was said by James who presided the Assembly: …men and brethren, hearken unto me. Simeon hath declared how God at the
first did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them, a people for his name. (At Cornelious’ house). And to this
agree the words of the prophets; as it is written…that the residue of men might seek after the Lord, and all the Gentiles,
upon whom my name is called, saith the Lord, who doeth all these things…; The same Lord, on His resurrected flesh.
He said to His Apostles… that all things must be fulfilled which were written in…in the prophets, concerning me.(The
Christ) AND THAT REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SINS SHOULD BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS BEGINNING
AT JERUSALEM. (take note of this: …”ALL THE GENTILES… ,…”ALL NATIONS”… ). Being
a single Deity, and in Him dwelling All the fullness of the Godhead, (The Tpi’as of God) to this agree the words of
the prophet as it is written: For then will I turn to the people a pure language, THAT THEY MAY ALL CALL UPON THE NAME OF
THE LORD, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT. And that is what is all about, …a pure language to call upon the Name of The
Lord, TO SERVE HIM WITH ONE CONSENT.
I thank The Lord my God for the truth that I am using this very moments to serve Him on those grounds
…to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints For there are certain men… even
denying the ONLY MASTER AND LORD OF US JESUS CHRIST. (Greek Text). In O.T. times,
God The Father was the ONLY MASTER AND LORD to Israel. And THE LORD JESUS IS ALL THAT
NOW.
And this is exactly what happened as “they went denying” the existence of One single Deity, and affirmed the
existence of Three Divinities to any cost as we shall see.
Historian, Commentator and Bishop Eusebious was in Caesarea certainly after the original Gospel of Matthew was placed in
the Library of Caesarea (remember “they” say that the writing got lost, but now it is known who had it) well,
Eusebious in various writings of him mentioned Matthew 28:19 without the phraseology that we know in our days, how come?
But after the formal presentation of the Trinity doctrine (325 A.D.)“they” mentioning Eusebious after his death,
quoted him mentioning the phraseology presented by the Emperor. That, was apparently another interpolated phrase in the writings
of Eusebious as well as he (supposedly) mentioning the words “The Holy Catholic Church” when it did not existed
yet; Disciple Ignatius had use the word Universal Church as the Apostles’ Doctrine was broadcasting into all nations
according to the commandment of The Savior, but some one, some where later translated the word universal into the Latin word
Catholic when the new faith emerged. The case is that what he had read in Caesarea the years he lived there, it was very different
to what the Emperor presented as mentioned in the beginning of this reading material, and why the material that contained
the page of Matthew ending his Gospel was found missing …torn out and removed… in that special part? (Only the
all-seen God knows what happen then and why). This is what Eusebious had read: …GO AND TEACH THEM TO CARRY OUT ALL
THE THINGS WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED YOU FOREVER. Absolutely nothing about baptism and nothing about three persons.
Eusebious wrote few books, and he NEVER mentioned Matthew 28:19 as chapter and verse as it is known TODAY, The Scriptures
were no divided like that at that time. And as any other or
I should say all commentators do, he also did rendering to the meaning of some Scriptures, and it is why
He had the liberty of Matthew phraseology to write IN MY NAME in between the words …them----
--to carry etc. to made it read …GO AND TEACH THEM IN MY NAME TO CARRY ALL THE THINGS WHICH I HAVE COMMANDED YOU
FOREVER. Eusebious at his time was considered the most intelligent and brilliant mind around, if a reader want to challenge
his knowledge of the Old Testament Scriptures you should read all his writings and see for yourself; but however brilliant
a genius may be, to posses understanding of the mysteries of God and preach about them, one must go God’s way; and the
man Jesus calling himself …the Truth.. And promising His …Spirit of truth… as the only source from whom
one can receive what He Himself calls His revelation, of which without it, He stated, no one can know who is the Father
and who is the Son
That was the tragedy of Bishop Eusebious, he divided God as Father The First God (cause of all) ant the Word, a second
God and inferior to his Father, and believed or not The Holy Spirit was considered by Eusebious of less whatever the reader
want to called but certainly no equal to God the Father or to God the Son. He wrote freely about what he believed, and wrote
from what he had read from philosophers before him whom had say: …the human body is a prison, God would not live in
such a prison… .
That he was not in fellowship with them who were …in fellowship of the …mystery of God namely Christ…
(Greek text) it is very obvious; he was in fellowship with Roman-Greek pagan philosophers writings at the same time he was
Bishop in Caesarea and speaking about The Lord Jesus with great words and calling Him every title of God, even saying that
Jesus was The Eternal Father, but ALWAYS ADDING the words:
“after the First God, his Father. who is the cause of all”. Yes, he spoke of the cross of Calvary and about
the sacrifice of the Savior with very good eloquence to the end that it was and is nothing more than what the Apostle Paul
wrote warning believers how NOT TO PREACH ABOUT THE …CROSS OF CHRIST… For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to
preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, LEST THE CROSS-OF CHRIST SHOULD BE MADE OF NONE EFFECT.
Most of modern religious Preachers explain the same teachings about The Father and The Son as Eusebious did with a variety
of “ new definitions” endeavoring to make the Word of God say what they want the Holy Scripture to say, how well
I know that, I been a Public Debater for many years, but not any more, There is not need to debate the issue of if there is
One God or more, or if water baptism should be in the scriptural precious Name or in the invented terminology of men; the
“evidences “ are there for those who dare to go in and search, and came out and show their discovering.
So, if one can see, that eternal realities, if defined by logic only, “they are still in the wilderness” as
Plato own confession: believing there is a God, but unable to make him know”; from men of “other nations’
(pagan) their TRINITAS WAS DEVELOPED AND SEALED WITH THE STAMP (THEIR OWN)
OF DIVINE AUTHORITY (?) AND A REMANT ONLY KNOWS ABOUT IT.
Well, The Lord Jesus did not gave the commandment to teach three divine persons and baptize in their
Titles, but big heads in Christendom do it because they believe it and defend it even knowing the beginning of the invention
of the Trinity dogma in part or all of it, here is one example written by the well known Bible Teacher Dr.Lightfoot: …the
doctrine of the ever blessed Trinity grew by degrees to full maturity for the arriving to the acknowledgment of which it was
incumbent upon all who professed the true God to be three in one, to be baptized into his name. (meaning, Father Son and Holy
Ghost; this same Professor of Theology, is quoted by Bible Commentator Adam Clarke implying that the Apostle Paul was baptized
in the Name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.) Please read the act by yourself … Acts of the
Apostles 22:16. But for final profit to the sincere reader, I will finish this work of mine, quoting the same as it reads
in Greek Text: And now what intendest thou? Rising up be baptized and wash away the sins of thee invoking the Name of him,
(it does not say..invoking the names of them, as a divine plurality of persons,
Did you get it?)
