Dear friends, this weeks investigations for the truth of the Trinity took me to some more shocking info after reading the page of: First Council of Nicaea.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I read that In 331 Constantine commissioned fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople. Please see link below for full article.
True or false? You decide.
However the next part below seems true.
Trinity
The council of Nicaea dealt primarily
WITH THE ISSUE OF THE DEITY OF CHRIST.
In Nicaea, questions regarding THE HOLY SPIRIT WERE left largely unaddressed until after the relationship between the Father and the Son was settled around the year 362. So the doctrine in a more full-fledged form was not formulated until the Council of Constantinople in 360 AD. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
As I pointed out before in my article here, the TWO main scriptures that would prove the Trinity as fact, are, I John 5:7-8, and Matthew 28:19
And they have clearly been proved to most definitely be forgeries and this fact is even confirmed by certain Trinitarian Bible Scholars and countless researches.
To add to the Trinity deception and dishonesty, more worms have popped out of the can revealing more forgeries.
Most of the Christian Fathers letters like the Ignatius letters have also been forged to make people believe the first Christian Fathers believed and supported the Trinity. See the link below to a Trinity web site admitting these Ignatius letters as forgeries.
The forgery of I John 5:7-8, was also confirmed as a clear forgery by Newton on the web site www-history.
For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Now Newton, who felt that his mission was more to study religion than science, certainly did not stop at reading the King James version of the Bible, but rather read all original versions he could, learning the necessary ancient languages. He discovered that the final phrase 'and these three are one' was not present in any Greek version that he studied. Newton came to the conclusion that it was a deliberate addition to the text to provide justification for the doctrine of the Trinity. He wrote down a list of twelve reasons why he was an Arian. Now of course it was not acceptable for people to hold views considered heresy by the Church, so after Newton's death this list, and his other theological writings, were marked "Not fit to be printed". They were stored and were not read by anyone until Keynes acquired them in 1936. SEE LINK BELOW FOR THIS FULL ARTICLE.
As we have read, Newton was one of the best Berean Jews who examined the scriptures daily.
But as you would expect, Newton has still more critics than most, no matter how intelligent a person is like Newton certainly was, the fact cannot be denied, Newton was probably more intelligent than most scientists, scoffers and critics put together, There are very few in the world who have earned themselves a special place for resting their good soul's at Westminster Abbey.
And yet certain Trinitarians still find a way to discredit Newton because he provides evidence against the mainstream Christianity for believing and revealing the Trinity to be a GREAT hoax and the great apostasy and therefore orthodox Christians use the excuse to completely debunk Newton's research by reminding us he was playing around with the occult.
Well, the mainstream Christianity may have a point, which in time has become completely blunt as we shall now easily see.
Why?
If Newton was correct in believing scriptures like 1 John 5:7-8 were forgeries, and parts of the true scriptures were altered to make GODS SON into GOD Himself then surely there would be other intelligent scientists who would come forward and present similar evidence.
In fact there are many who are also Bible Scholars and agree on these points.
But I do not want to look at what humans say and disprove the Bible, I want to look at what Jesus Himself said who proved by His own words He never claimed to be THE ONE TRUE GOD but instead made it very clear He was and is GODS only begotten SON.
May we quickly turn to John 10:33?
Why did the Jews accuse Jesus for blasphemy?
English Standard Version
The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God."
As we clearly read, the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for:
blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God."
Now there are two very simple important facts here which are misunderstood by millions still today.
1.
The fact is, if Jesus was GOD, then what would be wrong with Him claiming to be GOD, as right in front of the peoples eyes, Jesus fulfilled the prophesies, performed great miracles and forgave sins as GOD?
And remember the Jews did believe Jesus was making Himself as GOD.
2.
If I or anyone saw a person doing 100's of miracles that only Jesus did and could do as He did in front of their eyes, I would have no doubt in believing He was GOD.
Well as we read above: The Jews answered him, "It is not for a good work that we are going to stone you but for blasphemy, because you, being a man, make yourself God."
So after the Jews saw the 100's of miracles and good works Jesus performed in front of their very eyes, they confirmed the miracles were not what made them believe Jesus was claiming to be GOD, but it was because He said:
I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.
But why then would the Jews still become so angry with Jesus?
I believe the very fact that the Jews accused Jesus for blasphemy,
is clear evidence they were monotheists, the doctrine or belief that there is only ONE GOD, who is ONE PERSON, which was blasphemy in their laws.
The Jews clearly understood ONE very clear important fact, that GOD was ONE GOD, who is ONE PERSON with no GODS BESIDE HIM, which proved the Jews read and knew the countless Old Testament Scriptures below of GOD claiming to be ONE SINGLE PERSON with NO other GOD BESIDE HIM, confirming if Jesus was GOD there would be another GOD beside the ONE TRUE GOD, making TWO GODS side by side which the Jews knew went completely against the Old Testament Scriptures.
Exodus 9:14
or this time I will send the full force of my plagues against you and against your officials and your people, so you may know that THERE IS NO ONE LIKE ME IN ALL THE EARTH.
Deuteronomy 4:35
You were shown these things so that you might know that the LORD is God; BESIDES HIM THERE IS NO OTHER.
Deuteronomy 32:39
"See now that I myself am he! THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES ME. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.
Psalm 18:31
For who is GOD BESIDES THE LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
Isaiah 43:10
"You are my witnesses," declares the LORD, "and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. BEFORE ME NO GOD WAS FORMED, NOR WILL THERE BE ONE AFTER ME.
Isaiah 44:6
"This is what the LORD says-- Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; APART FROM ME THERE IS NO GOD.
Isaiah 44:8
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 45:6
so that from the rising of the sun to the place of its setting people may know THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. I am the LORD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER.
Isaiah 45:14
This is what the LORD says: "The products of Egypt and the merchandise of Cush, and those tall Sabeans-- they will come over to you and will be yours; they will trudge behind you, coming over to you in chains. They will bow down before you and plead with you, saying, 'Surely God is with you, and THERE IS NO OTHER; THERE IS NO OTHER GOD.'"
Isaiah 45:18
For this is what the LORD says-- he who created the heavens, he is GOD; he who fashioned and made the earth, he founded it; he did not create it to be empty, but formed it to be inhabited-- he says: "I am the LORD, AND THERE IS NO OTHER.
Isaiah 45:21
Declare what is to be, present it-- let them take counsel together. Who foretold this long ago, who declared it from the distant past? Was it not I, the LORD? And there is NO GOD APART FROM ME, righteous God and a Savior; there is none but me.
Isaiah 46:9
Remember the former things, those of long ago; I am God, and there is NO OTHER; I AM GOD, AND THERE IS NONE LIKE ME.
Isaiah 47:8
"Now then, listen, you lover of pleasure, lounging in your security and saying to yourself, 'I AM, AND THERE IS NONE BESIDES ME. I will never be a widow or suffer the loss of children.'
Joel 2:27
Then you will know that I am in Israel, that I am the LORD your GOD, and that there is NO OTHER; never again will my people be shamed.
When Jesus came along, the Jews watched Him perform great miracles and forgive sins and heard Him say the most misunderstood scripture in history still today by millions when Jesus said:
I AND THE FATHER ARE ONE.
By this simple statement by Jesus, the Jews clearly did not understand the ONE TRUE GOD was in His SON, and instead the Jews thought Jesus meant He was the GOD and same person, instead of understanding Jesus meant He has ONE purpose with His Father, God - to be in complete agreement, and harmony just as he desires to make all God's children ONE substance, and it was His Father GOD in Him performing the GREAT miracles.
English Standard Version
So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise.
John 5:19.
Now the evidence that Jesus did not claim to be the same ONE TRUE GOD and His Father, can easily be seen by the very fact Jesus clearly rectified the Jews misunderstanding at the end of their conversion by making it very clear He was not GOD, when He could of very easily said He was GOD, but instead He confirms His DEITY in 4 crystal clear words, by saying:
Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said,
I AM GOD's SON.
John 10:36.
Here are some simple questions to ask your Trinitarian friends.
1.
If Jesus was the same person as the ONE TRUE GOD, was He too frightened to say He was the ONE TRUE GOD?
2.
If Jesus was the ONE TRUE GOD and the same person, why did He not say He was the ONE TRUE GOD to the Jews in John 10:36, when they accused Him for claiming to be GOD?
3.
If Jesus was GOD and the same person, then why did He CLEARLY tell the Jews countless times throughout his ministry He was the SON, and never ever said He was the ONE TRUE GOD?
4.
If Jesus was the same person as the ONE TRUE GOD, why did He always teach very simple teachings that even children He loved and adored could understand He was the SON of THE GOD?
5.
Did Jesus contradict His own teachings as the Trinity faith would make us believe by teaching He was the SON, but on the other hand is also THE ONE TRUE GOD, which he then hides in a cryptic coded message called a compound unity to confuse millions?
6.
If Jesus was the same and the ONE TRUE GOD, why then did Jesus make the opposite claim, by making this point very clear by saying Himself His Father GOD was the ONLY ONE TRUE GOD in John 17:3?
And this is LIFE ETERNAL, that they might know thee THE ONLY TRUE GOD, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. John 17:3.
7.
Notice how Jesus said in John 17:3 above that this is a SALVATION ISSUE, that believing His Father GOD was the only true GOD is eternal like.
8.
Notice in John 17:3 above there is NO mention that we are to believe in the Trinity doctrine and that Jesus is the GOD to be saved, and in fact nowhere in the Bible.
9.
If we be a Berean Jew and look at just some of countless scriptures like Deuteronomy 32:39, and 1 Corinthians 8:6, do we find every scripture teaches the same truth, that GOD the Father is ONE GOD and ONE PERSON and never THREE, persons?
10.
Finally.
The simple questions above prove the undeniable facts of Jesus being the literal SON of GOD from when He was born from GOD before all creation as the word in John 1:1, which are just some of the 100's of simple teachings that very easily prove the Trinity faith to be false.
This then brings us back to the Title of this article.
Where And Were The Scriptures Altered By The Church of Constantine?
The million-dollar question still remains, when Constantine commissioned fifty Bibles in 331 for the Church of Constantinople, where and were they altered to add in the Trinity doctrine?
Many believe the scriptures were altered to add in the Trinity doctrine and make Jesus into GOD, which adds up to why:
The council of Nicaea dealt primarily with the issue of the deity of Christ In Nicaea and finely made the Trinity into a doctrine in around the year 362.
Trinitarians believe this is not the case as you would expect.
I cannot say this is the case, but what I can say is that if there are TWO main scriptures that would prove the Trinity as I John 5:7-8, and Matthew 28:19, but have clearly been proved to be forgeries or altered, than this terrible deception may consist some truth which would easily explain took place at around the same time Constantine commissioned fifty Bibles which would prove certain scriptures were changed or altered.
Could there be any other evidence that Constantine changed parts of the Bible to make GOD into a TRINITY when he commissioned the fifty Bibles for the Church of Constantinople?
Well, Newton also commented on this by saying: The Scriptures had been altered and early Christian writers had been misquoted to make it appear that Trinitarianism had been the original faith.
The fact of this being true or false can be easily understood by ordinary people like you and me by again being a simple Berean Jew who examined the scriptures daily:
Now these Jews were more noble than those in Thessalonica; they received the word with all eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see if these things were so. 1 John 5:7.
We do not need to be a Bible scholar to understand the absolute truth can be seen by the simple contradictions in the Bible itself which also reveals the truth confirming what is true or false, and that truth is the fact that Jesus does not contradict His own teachings as the Trinity doctrine continually does.
Newton's beliefs and research also seems to line up with the research by others like Allan Cronshaw.

I have added a small part below.
HAS THE BIBLE BEEN FAITHFULLY PRESERVED?
By Allan Cronshaw
The problem is that, regardless of how much evidence is shown to the majority of modern Christians -- evidence which demonstrates conclusively that the New Testament scriptures were severely altered by the Church of Rome -- they will refuse to acknowledge the facts. Why? Because the majority of modern Christians are a disenfranchised people -- severed from the presence of the indwelling Spirit which is given to the truly faithful disciples in order to teach them -- and they are afraid to deviate from their present-day doctrine and church dogma. In the Living Spiritual Church of the New Covenant that was ordained by the Son of God, all revelation is made directly from God to the faithful congregation. But because the modern believer has been alienated from the very essence of the fundamentals of New Covenant teachings, they fear the spiritual journey associated with the beginning of the walk in The Way. The Son of God calls out to them -- but because they are anchored to this world by the doctrines and traditions of men, they are afraid to actually pick up their own crosses and follow in the Master's footsteps in The Way..
When directly confronted with the overwhelming evidence and facts with respect to the wholesale corruption of the scriptures, the fundamentalist defensively responds with the rather absurd assertion that "God wrote the King James Version of the Bible". Thus, no amount of rationale will convince them that because we are the prodigal sons of our Heavenly Father, and the Kingdom is within us (Luke 17:21), that all those who truly live a consecrated life will be shown the undefiled Word of God that can be accessed by journeying along the narrow path that opens the "strait gate" that leads to the indwelling Temple (1 Cor 3:16). The great truth which the modern Christian fails to comprehend is that, even in its corrupted form, the Bible as it has been passed down to us is sufficient to manifest the Living Word of God in the life of the individual believer. One only has to open the New Testament to almost any page to find the message: If the believer consecrates their lives -- becomes teachable by releasing their minds from an adherence to the doctrines of men -- forgive and judge no one -- live a simple life that is unencumbered -- do no harm to any of God's creatures -- and seek in solitude the companionship of the Lord in the inner Temple -- that the Holy Spirit will Anoint and Teach you all the Mysteries of God as the believer begins the journey home to the Kingdom. If the believer begins to live the consecrated Christian life -- free of the thinking and entanglements of this world -- then the indwelling Word will reveal all things to those who are sincere in their search for the Truth.
If it is true that the fourth century Roman Church severely altered the written word of the scriptures, then it is absolutely necessary for the modern believer to search out the facts. Faith in the Word means that if we are a truly faithful people, that the Son of God will open our minds and enlighten us to the Truth. When we therefore ignore the facts, and blindly cling to the error of the corrupt church of Rome, then we inhibit the Lord from teaching us the truth.
If Satan is the god of darkness, then it is Satan who seduces Christians into believing that our scriptures were protected from being altered. Contrary to our many assertions of denial, the historical evidence shows conclusively that this is not the case -- and the Bible no longer represents the original form of the text. Yet, it is only because the modern church no longer possesses the spiritual essence and vision of the original Church that was established in the first century, that the corruption of our scriptures creates a hindrance to the believer in our present time.

Conclusion.
There is no doubt that there is staggering evidence proving a shocking deception by the enemy making the ONE TRUE GOD into a Trinity. Even a novice like me can clearly see there are many undeniable facts, as we have read above.
Lets have a quick recap.
1.
The doctrine of the trinity was not formulated until the Council of Constantinople in 360 AD.
As that's clearly the case, then without a doubt this confirms an indisputable fact.
2.
The fact is a HUGE 300 year gap from the time when Jesus and His disciples were on the planet, which proves how plain and easy this is to understand, that the Trinity doctrine was not taught as a doctrine at the time when Jesus and His disciples walked and taught, otherwise there would not be a HUGE gap.
3.
If the first Trinitarians were inspired men of GOD as some would make us believe, then why would they go against GOD and His SON's commands when they both clearly taught to love each other, turn the other cheek and certainly not kill anyone, but instead many were killed and tortured and their books were burned for not believing and following the Trinity.
4.
If the doctrine of the Trinity was not a doctrine taught by Jesus in the beginning, then how can the Trinity be a doctrine when it was taught by men 100's of years later?
5.
Who added the two main scriptures of I John 5:7-8, and Matthew 28:19,
They would prove the Trinity, but they are not found in the Greek manuscripts, or have been found to be altered?
See link below:
6.
Who forged: The forged letters of Ignatius, to deceive people into believing the first church Fathers believed in the Trinity?
See link below: The forged letters of Ignatius.
7.
It is clear all the church fathers did not believe in the trinity.
See link below: THE APOSTOLIC FATHERS -- WERE THEY TRINITARIAN? See link below,
8.
Why is It so easy to determine if people like Newton were correct when he said: He was convinced the doctrine of the Trinity was bogus, a successful deception by St. Athanasius in the fourth century?
9.
When we seek we do certainly find rock solid facts as Newton claimed, there was a person called St. Athanasius, who was indeed one of the main Trinitarians to establish the Trinity.
Athanasius is a renowned Christian theologian, a Church Father, the chief defender of Trinitarianism against Arianism, and a noted Egyptian leader of the fourth century.
See link below Athanasius of Alexandria.
10.
Finally.
It is easy to determine TWO accurate facts, Jesus own words are truly accurate just by doing as He taught when He said SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND. Matthew 7:7.
Most do not seek and simply believe what they were taught, and then remain deceived.
I was one of millions of gullible people, who believed what I was taught.
However it is not to late to seek out the truth and discover THE ONE TRUE GOD and His SON.
If you truly seek and pray humbly with an open heart?
You will make TWO great discoveries.
1.
When you finally discover THE ONE TRUE GOD and His ONE TRUE BEGOTTEN SON, You will discover you have truly been set FREE.
Because you are no longer breaking GODS commands.
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:
Deuteronomy 6:4.
And Jesus answered him,
The first of all the commandments is,
Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mark 12:29.
English Standard Version
So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, "If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, AND YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH,
AND THE TRUTH WILL
SET YOU FREE."
John 8:32.
2.
You will also make a most fearful discovery, and then understand why Jesus said there would be many who confess Him as LORD and do miracles and good deeds in His name but would still hear Him say: I DO NOT KNOW YOU. They are called THE FOOLISH VIRGINS
Did you know THE FOOLISH VIRGINS are people who break GODS commands, but do not know it.
"If you love me,
you will keep my commandments.
John 14:15.
Which is why Jesus also taught the path to His Kingdom was NARROW, and FEW would find His Kingdom to come.
English Standard Version
"Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.
Matthew 7:13 -14.
This also lines up with what Sir Isaac Newton believed that:
Roman Catholic Church was misguided in its interpretation of Christianity, and had returned to idolatry. Reff Newton's Arian beliefs
Newton felt that belief in the holy trinity was a flagrant violation of the First of the Ten Commandments.
