Click here for previous session     One may wonder what, from the New Testament, separates these two groups by such a vast expanse of understanding. Trinitarians, Unitarians and Muslims all claim to follow the teachings of Jesus. But who really does, and who doesn’t? For centuries the argument has been advanced that Trinitarians follow Pauline theology in preference to that of Jesus. This charge is difficult to deny, for Jesus taught Old Testament Law whereas Paul negated it. Jesus preached orthodox Jewish creed; Paul preached mysteries of faith. Jesus spoke of accountability; Paul proposed justification by faith. Jesus described himself as an ethnic prophet; Paul defined...

Click here for previous session       In other words, from the church’s point of view the problem is that educated laity are beginning to trust scripture more than the imaginative minds and non­biblical sources from which the church derived its dogma. We can understand their concern. After all, it’s much easier to tell people what to believe (and how much to tithe) than to have to deal with the problematic issues that result from objective analysis. Issues like, like, like … well, like these. In any case, as if the above quote were not enough, the...

Click here for previous session     Constans was the more powerful, and so established the “orthodox” Trinitarian bishops on his authority, over Constantius’ objections. However, Constans died first, whereupon Constantius reversed his brother’s policy and proclaimed Arianism the religion of the realm at the synods of Sirmium and Rimini in 359. The next Roman emperor, Julian (361­363), attempted to resurrect the pagan cults, which were still powerful, both in numbers and wealth. He was replaced in short order by Emperor Jovian (363­64), a Christian, who was replaced in even shorter order by the sons, Valentinian (364­75) and Valens (364­78). This brings us...

Click here for previous session       Ahem. Where was I? Oh, yes … So picture the church fathers, some three hundred years following the ministry of Jesus, being handed the Trinity—a mystical invention they simply could not recognize as the doctrinal child conceived through the teachings of Jesus. How did the church handle the dissenting bishops? It exiled them, along with Arius, after which none of the others dared to deny the doctrine. 109 Only after overcoming Arius and other prominent Unitarians were the Trinity and the Nicene Creed...

It may be He shall give me greater ease Than your cold Christ and tangled Trinities. —Monotheistic rendition of Rudyard Kipling’s “Lispeth” The Trinity: the foundation of faith for some, the focus of ridicule for others, but a mystery for all. And that should be no surprise. To quote the authorities, “The word does not occur in scripture…” 104 and, “The doctrine of the...
