Contradictions The basic problem is that trinitarianism is a
nonbiblical doctrine that contradicts a number of biblical teachings and many specific
verses of Scripture. Moreover, the doctrine contains a number of internal contradictions.
Of course, the most obvious internal contradiction is how there can be three persons of
God in any meaningful sense and yet there be only one God. Below we have compiled a number of other contradictions and problems associated
with trinitarianism. This list is not exhaustive but it does give an idea of how much the
doctrine deviates from the Bible.
1. Did Jesus Christ have two fathers?
The Father is the Father of the Son (I John 1:3), yet the child born of Mary was
conceived by the Holy Ghost (Matthew 1:18, 20; Luke 1:35). Which one is the true father?
Some trinitarians say that the Holy Ghost was merely the Father's agent in
conception - a process they compare to artificial insemination!
2. How many Spirits are there? God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:24), the Lord Jesus is a
Spirit (II Corinthians 3:17), and the Holy Spirit is a Spirit by definition. Yet
there is one Spirit (I Corinthians 12:13; Ephesians 4:4).
3. If Father and Son are co-equal
persons, why did Jesus pray to the Father? (Matthew 11:25). Can God pray to God?
4. Similarly, how can the Son not
know as much as the Father? (Matthew 24:36; Mark 13:32).
5. Similarly, how can the Son not
have any power except what the Father gives Him? (John 5:19, 30; 6:38).
6. Similarly, what about other verses
of Scripture indicating the inequality of the Son and the Father? (John 8:42; 14:28;
I Corinthians 11:3).
7. Did "God the Son" die?
The Bible says the Son died (Romans 5:10). If so, can God die? Can part of God die?
8. How can there be an eternal Son
when the Bible speaks of the begotten Son, clearly indicating that the Son had a
beginning? (John 3:16; Hebrews 1:5-6).
9. If the Son is eternal and existed
at creation, who was His mother at that time? We know the Son was made of a woman
(Galatians 4:4).
10. Did "God the Son"
surrender His omnipresence while on earth? If so, how could he still be God?
11. If the Son is eternal and
immutable (unchangeable), how can the reign of the Son have an ending? (I Corinthians
15:24-28).
12. If in answer to questions 3
through 11 we say only the human Son of God was limited in knowledge, was limited in
power, and died, then how can we speak of "God the Son"? Are there two Sons?
13. Whom do we worship and to whom do
we pray? Jesus said to worship the Father (John 4:21-24), yet Stephen prayed to Jesus
(Acts 7:59-60).
14. Can there be more than three
persons in the Godhead? Certainly the Old Testament does not teach three but emphasizes
oneness. If the New Testament adds to the Old Testament message and teaches three persons,
then what is to prevent subsequent revelations of additional persons? If we apply
trinitarian logic to interpret some verses of Scripture, we could teach a fourth person
(Isaiah 48:16; Colossians 1:3; 2:2; I Thessalonians 3:11; James 1:27). Likewise, we
could interpret some verses of Scripture to mean six more persons (Revelation 3:1; 5:6).
15. Are there three Spirits in a
Christian's heart? Father, Jesus, and the Spirit all dwell within a Christian (John 14:17,
23; Romans 8:9; Ephesians 3:14-17). Yet there is one Spirit (I Corinthians 12:13;
Ephesians 4:4).
16. There is only one throne in
heaven (Revelation 4:2). Who sits upon it? We know Jesus does (Revelation 1:8,18, 4:8).
Where do the Father and the Holy Spirit sit?
17. If Jesus is on the throne, how
can He sit on the right hand of God? (Mark 16:19). Does He sit or stand on the right hand
of God? (Acts 7:55). Or is He in the Father's bosom? (John 1:18).
18. Is Jesus in the Godhead or is the
Godhead in Jesus? Colossians 2:9 says the latter.
19. Given Matthew 28:19, why did the
apostles consistently baptize both Jews and Gentiles using the name of Jesus, even to the
extent of rebaptism? (Acts 2:38; 8:16; 10:48; 19:5; 22:16; I Corinthians 1:13).
20. Who raised Jesus from the dead?
Did the Father (Ephesians 1:20), or Jesus (John 2:19-21), or the Spirit? (Romans 8:11).
21. If Son and Holy Ghost are
co-equal persons in the Godhead, why is blasphemy of the Holy Ghost unforgivable but
blasphemy of the Son is not? (Luke 12:10).
22. If the Holy Ghost is a co-equal
member of the trinity, why does the Bible always speak of Him being sent from the Father
or from Jesus? (John 14:26; 15:26).
23. Does the Father know something
that the Holy Spirit does not know? If so, how can they be co-equal? Only the Father knows
the day and hour of the Second Coming of Christ (Mark 13:32).
24. Did the trinity make the Old and
New covenants? We know the LORD (Jehovah) did (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Hebrews 8:7-13). If
Jehovah is a trinity then Father, Son, and Spirit all had to die to make the new covenant
effective (Hebrews 9:16-17).
25. If the Spirit proceeds from the
Father, is the Spirit also a son of the Father? If not, why not?
26. If the Spirit proceeds from the
Son, is the Spirit the grandson of the Father? If not, why not?
