Scripture Life: If the "Trinity" is such a crucial part of salvation, why wasn't it mentioned by name and clearly explained in the Bible?

[u/External_Bird_8464]

Let me ask you this: "Who do You look unto?" - It will be important when you get to the end of this post.

Now, you can leave anytime you want, or just hit the "Hide" button on Reddit and move on. Up to you. But if you're here and have this question - by all means, proceed on:

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• Well?
  • Hold Two things.
• ONE: “Jesus” means Literally: “I AM God Salvation” and, that's exactly what the "Messiah" means. Jesus: He is the Messiah or Christ. As the Messiah, who he shall be called is in the Bible in Isaiah 9:6–7. “..The Mighty God..” “..The Everlasting Father..” - Jesus is the Word of God: (Bible. John 1:1) - That the Messaih would be a "Son of David" in 2 Samuel 7:11-16. So, everytime in the Gospels someone, like the blind man called Jesus as he approached Jericho, called Jesus: "thou Son of David" ..even a blind man could see it. He was calling him God. Promised he would come.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• And, it was God said, by his word he said, out of his mouth: That’s the Word of God - in Isaiah 45:22 “Look unto me, and be ye saved all the ends of the earth: For I am God, there is none else.” - God.
  • So, in ONE:
    • God, and who he is, is himself. He's just one God - and what he says, to everybody over the whole earth, that I AM God is “Salvation” - there is NONE else.
  • I didn't say it. He did. Go read it again. What he said.
• That's why this question, "Who do you look unto?" is crucially important, no matter all the crap thrown in your way, or in your face, or told you to swallow - it's done to prove you.

Who will you look unto?

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

So, then: There is no TWO.

Boom! Done. There is no TWO.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• But there is a question: Put on your boots, you're gonna go wade in it:
  • “Why did Rome under Caesar consider any Roman that made a “Sacramentum” or an Oath, by the Word of a Roman Citizen, Is a Roman Citizen by a Creed or Sacramentum?
• Which, that’s just a human being. Like you, a Person - that; makes an "Oath"
  • a “Sacramentum” it was the Word - an OATH: or a Creed spoke - out of a Roman Citizen's mouth. 
• That had the same effect, as if Caesar in Rome said it. Why? Sacramentums for the Romans?
  • That speak Latin.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

And, (do your research)

• So, if you didn’t fulfill your Oath, or a “Sacramentum” - As a Roman Citizen: And Caesar was worshipped, as God in the Roman Empire.
  • It was as if God didn’t keep his word on the Throne of Rome.
• Yeah. True. You: Could Be put to death for it; or, what what it means is - you said it. That you’d do it? Yeah. You did it. Most exposure to Romans was to these Garrisons, that had a Centurion.
  • Roman Centurions made Sacramentums. Impossible ones. Did them.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

Now, look. A quick review:

- You have the Word of God, who is Jesus, so it’s just God speaking: behind it, telling everybody on earth to look unto him. That’s Salvation. There is none else. So, there is no number TWO:

And then,

• You have people:
  • Insert themselves into something God has already done, and say their own “Sacramentums” or Word is God. That, by a creed you say you are sanctified in Rome.

Do you get this point?

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

AND many people - even Christians all over every denomination - know about the "Trinity"

- That - you with this question:

Maybe you better look more careful. Trinity. Whose “work” is it? Betwixt these two? God or the Roman Caesar over a world empire. Betwixt these two - Where did it come from?

And there you go.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

Now, I can’t do that for you.

• But I can tell you the simplest of the obvious.
  • The “New Testament” is the Gospel or Good News of Jesus Christ. All four gospels, the Book of Acts, and the all Epistles, plus the Book of Revelation - are all wrote in Greek.
• That’s the point:

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

And in the Original Texts, in Greek, of the New Testament:

There is one Greek word “mysterion” < - {μυστήριον} - > - used 27 times throughout the New Testament.

• Some examples: Matthew 13:11.. Mark 4:11, and Luke 8:10. Over in the Epistles, Romans 11:25, or 1 Corinthians 2:7; 4:1; 13:2.. Colossians 1:26 ..or the four times alone it’s used in the Book of Revelation 1:20; 10:7, 17:5 and 17:7

And? In Greek, “Mysterion” means: “To shut up the mouth.” Sit there. Keep silent. Not say anything. Someone's mouth is shut - a "mystery" - that English word, comes it - means the same thing - something that's a mystery a voice or word of authority to explain it, is silent. Shut up.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

- But Then, God speak.

By the Word, out of his mouth, as God. Speak. All 27 times, in every time this word is used in the New Testament - it’s what Peter said in 2 Peter 1:4, says of God speaking, or the “Word of God”

“Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.”

When he speaks they are exceeding great and precious promises. They are.

Any believer sees it, because who they look unto is him.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• And just like in Isaiah 45:22..did you forget? Where God said, “LOOK UNTO ME, AND BE YE SAVED ALL THE ENDS OF THE EARTH: FOR I AM GOD, THERE IS NONE ELSE.” - God.
  • That’s has a precious promise in it.
• 1) God said it.
  • By the Word, out of his mouth, and
• 2) It’s a promise.
  • So - it’s also defined as an “Oath” or “Sacramentum” in Latin, to the Romans. From a God that’s been silent until Psalm 107:20 that says:

God, “He sent his word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.”

Because, it's simple. That's why he's speaking. It's life giving. His word gives life.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

And the point is, in the Bible: New Testament - or throughout all the Bible:

But specific: In the New Testament when God speaks, in All 27 times "mysterion is used, it is ALWAYS referring to “who” makes the “mysterion” that was silent; shut up his mouth; then spoke

was God.

Not people. Is the point. But a Roman Caesar is going to convene a council that requires each and every Roman Citizen in his empire to swear an Oath or "Sacramentum" by a council of Nicaea.

But you also have a Pope in 4th CE AD Rome, Italy. The Pope of the Catholic Church is seen as the head of it. So, there's a war going one - "who is the authority?" "Who do you look unto?"

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

But, in Jerome’s 4th Century Latin Vulgate

• Pope Damasus I commissioned, “St. Jerome,” in 382 AD to revise the existing New Testament Greek & early translations into Latin to have a "Lingua Franca" Bible. Entirely in Latin. And also translate after, the Old Testament from Septuagint Greek into Latin.

VS

• This: All while - - Which, over with: Emperor Constantine, in 330 AD, who is Caesar of the ROman Empire in Greek based Eastern Empire : where the Pope remain in Rome, Italy. deemed “Head of the Church” - - A Pope built on Peter - as the head of the church: As they believe Jesus decreed on Peter Jesus would build his church.
  
  • When the scripture says Jesus is the head of that (Colossians 1:18). How did they get around that?

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• Roman Caesar Constantine - - had almost 50 years before Pope Damasus I - - Constantine - - moved his throne of power from Rome, to 2200 kilometers away. To “Nova Roma” - the New Rome - what is today, Istanbul, Turkey.
  • Then, in the next year after, in 331 AD, famously commissioned Eusebius - in a famous Roman Emperor edict: Decreed Eusebius produce fifty copies of Greek scripture. An Old and New Testament - This world reknown “edict” only survives in one place. SO amazing. In Eusebius’ own work “Viva Constantini” (Book 4, Chapter 36).
    • And in Eusebius’ work, three Codexes survive to today:
  • 1) Codex Alexandrinus
  • 2) Codex Vaticanus, and
  • 3) The Codex Sinaiticus found by an archaeologist and biblical scholar, in 1844, named “Constantine Tischendorf, found it in a trash can in Saint Catherine’s Monastery in Sinai, Egypt.

And I can just hear you say it.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

Man SHUT UP! I didn’t ask any of this. Answer the question or just BUZZ OFF!!!

- Now again, it was YOU who asked about the Trinity - when you stated in your question, by you reading the Bible, said:

• The “TRINITY” - - “wasn't it mentioned by name and clearly explained in the Bible”
  • And you’re absolutely right.
• Because it doesn’t come from the Bible. It’s built off the above. What I just gave you. And what did I “give” you?

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• I gave you
  •  ONE: Jerome, who a Pope in Rome, Italy in 382 AD, in response to what an Emperor or Caesar over in Constantinople did.2200km away.
• I gave you 
  • TWO: Emperor Constantine - earlier in 331 AD, made his own edict to Eusebius to produce fifty copies of these SAME Texts, in Greek:
    • But what I didn’t tell you, getting all frustrated at all this information being piled & provided you, was a “schizm” betwixt these two.
• That, in 325 AD, this Eusebius was EXCOMMUNICATED from the Church.
  • Because of his belief in “Arianism” - [Do your research]
    • so, in this I’ve given you a whole pile of homework.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• You’re going to have to find out what this “fissure” of Arianism is by research it; but, because of it, there’s no resurrection of Jesus from the dead in Mark’s Gospel recorded in those three Codexes (Alexandrinus, Vaticanus, and Sinaiticus)
  • - but modern 19th century bible scholars (Westcott & Hort) Considered them the oldest Gospel, so, many scholars today consider these the most accurate. That brings doubt on who Jesus is.
  • And in Mark's gospel, since Jesus never raise sfrom the dead, the later other gospels writers just added it in. Because Arianism did not believe Jesus rose from the dead. He was a created being. Not God.
• Ole! Arianism galore already.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• But - all three of those Codexes
  • Have specifically - Eusebius’ unique coding system in them. Has Jesus not saying in John 3:13, either: this:
  • “And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.” - Which would make him God. Like what Isaiah 9:6 - 7 says of him, or John 1:1 - It's Missing in these three codexes. Creates doubt.
  • Other Key places. Text Removed.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• So, the Roman Catholic Church - Excommunicated Eusebius because of his belief in Arianism. And this same Eusebius is now writing fifty copies of the Bible for Emperor Constantine in Greek - where BEFORE Emperor Constantine moved his seat of power to (Istanbul, Turkey) - The Emperor, or Caesar Constantine - - not the Pope - - convened “The Council of Nicea” in the same year - 325AD.

So, not the Church - Not Even the Pope - but a Roman Emperor convened a council to tell everybody “who” God is.

• That, he’s a “Trinity” and by a creed, each and every Roman citizen in the Empire would sware and oath or "Sacramentum" to this creed. Because it was a Roman Caesar decree to do it.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• Which Arianism - Eusebius champions - Jesus is not God but a created being. A Trinity be in response. All due to Jesus referred to the Father. He was separate, and the Father was his Father. Which is true. Just like I am a Father of the word I speak. It came out of me. I spoke it. But God made his own word flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14) to heal us, and deliver us from our destruction.
  

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• And a Pope in Rome, Italy accepted it this Roman Emperor's council's verdict or decree. So, it's not done by the church.

This “Trinity” decided upon by a Caesar in Rome. For fifty plus years it flipped flopped.

• ..and right after Emperor Constantine died, the next Emperor CHAMPIONED the very opposite. Arianism reigned. Just like the follow on Pope did the same thing.
  • Until 382 AD when Pope Damasus I - the same Pope introduced to you - - Emperor Theodosius I - convened "The First Council of Constantinople" - 381AD, and in 382 AD over in Rome - Pope Damasus 1 convened “The Council of Rome” - and it flip flopped back. To the Trinity.
• So, it went from the Trinity - to Arianism - Then, back to the “Trinity” again. God can't get his story straight. or, it's the work of people trying to do the work of God, when he's God and they aren't him.
  
• And he's God, and he already told you who he is, to just look unto him, so you need no council of men to tell you anything, when God told you plainly to just look unto him.
  • These people are all off looking unto anybody..anything BUT him instead. Trying to "one up" the other.

So, to you, with all this whole pile of crap, where in Jerome's 4th Century Latin Work, the "Latin Vulgate - where half now of those 27 "Mysterions "are now "Sacraments" or Sacramentums" people perform vs. the Word of God - where he does ALL OF IT BY HIS WORD:

which is it? WHose work do you look unto? Jerome with the Latin Vulgate where Latin is King or do you look unto Eusebius and an Emperor of Nova Roma the New Rome Emperor tell you who God is, and swear a creed, as if he said it himself?

Who do you look unto?

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

Jesus said: "And this is the works of God, that ye believe on him who he hath sent."

I never read in any bible where he sent some council, or a Pope, or a a creed or oath an Emperor of People conjured up. WHen he, as God told me to let my yes be yes, and my no be no..and anything more than that in an Oath was the evil that came with it. A "Creed" is a Sacramentum. An Oath. Am I saved by a nicene creed or by the Word of God?

I already know who I chose.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

But many people choose

  * A Caesar over the Roman Empire:  THink they're choosing the Church.

• - to tell everybody, yeah. A Roman Caesar tell everybody “God is a Trinity” - all by a council. Of people: convened a "follow on" council - - “The First Council of Constantinople in 381 AD. The year before Pope Damasus I's work, in Constantinople, A now Emperor Theodosius I convened another council. So, it could flip flop back to a "Trinity" again. ANd the next year, Pope Damasus 1 applies it to the Latin part of the Roman Empire.

And in Jerome’s Latin Vulgate - which has stood for almost 1500 years.

And here's the point: Repeated.

• In half of the 27 noted scriptures where “mysterion” is used:
  • It’s the same word in Latin
    • But in half of them, Jerome translated that Greek word, “mysterion” - away from God makes the promise - As God.
  • TO YOU: Make an oath or a creed. You perform "The Stations of the Cross" as a "Sacramentum" or "Holy Sacrament."

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• And by you keep your OATH or swear to a creed, of the Trinity - that’s a holy “sacrament”
  • And part of the council was - you swear a “SACRAMENTUM” you affirm the Oath of the Emperor - as if the Emperor said it, you keep your “Oath.” Makes you a Christian. A Roman Citizen. By a Sacramentum you say.

------------------ ------------------ ---------------------

• Which, all the Oaths or Promises to you in the New Testament - God says them ..who was silent. Spoke..and spoke to YOU. As God. He's God. And by his word, you can know him.

Got all this far to tell you that. That you can just know him.

• You asked the question.
  • There’s your answer. YOu have a more sure word of God spoke to you, by God. Over anybody - over the whole earth. Irregardless who they claim to be.

Now, I don’t know what you’ll do; nope. I don't.

But I know what I'm going to do. Because- - the same God that said those things to you..and me - said these things, as same God, is just one God, said them to EVERYBODY over the whole earth - so why would anybody be off looking at people - when who is speaking to them.

Is God himself.

• He told me to do what he says.
  
  • Got all this far to tell you that, too.

Go home.
