O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord\u201d (Deut. 6:4). The earliest Christians, however, had to cope with the implications of the coming of Jesus Christ and of the presence and power of God among them \u2013i.e. the Holy spirit whose coming was connected with the celebration of the Pentecost. The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit were associated in such New Testament passages as the Great Commission: \u201cGo therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit\u201d (Matt. 28:19. <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><i>As shown later Matthew 28:19 is a forgery in the Bible-NGBA<\/i><\/span>) and in the apostolic benediction: \u201cThe grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all\u201d (II Corinthians. 13:14. <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><i>Corinthians is the word of PAUL not word of God or Jesus-NGBA<\/i><\/span>). Thus, the New Testament established the basis for the doctrine of Trinity.

Initially, both the requirements of monotheism inherited from the Old Testament and the implications of the need to interpret the biblical teaching to Greco-Roman paganism seemed to demand that the divine in Christ as the Word, or Logos, be interpreted as subordinate to the Supreme Being. An alternative solution was to interpret Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three modes of the self-disclosure of the one God but not as distinct within the being of God itself. The first tendency recognized the distinctness among the three, but at the cost of their equality and hence of their unity (subordinationism); the second came to terms with their unity, but at the cost of their distinctness as \u201cpersons\u201d (modalism). <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><i>It was not until the 4th. century that the distinctness of\u00a0\u00a0 the three and their unity were brought together in a single orthodox doctrine of one essence and three persons.<\/i>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u00a0\u00a0 The Council of Nicaea in 325 stated the crucial formula for that doctrine in its confession that the Son is \u201cof the same essence [homoousios] as the Father,\u201d even though it said very little about the Holy Spirit. <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><i>Over the next half century, Athanasius defended and refined the Nicene formula, and, by the end of the 4th.

In his philosophy he is the disciple of Philo and Plato, and not of Jesus; and if these two great men had nothing to do with the Master, one belonging to Judaism and the other to a pagan cult, <span style=\"color: #800080;\">St Paul deserves no claim on the allegiance of those who wish and ought to be in the footsteps of Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">\u2026What an irony of fate that he who declared \u201cTill heaven and earth pass, one jot or title shall in nowise pass from the Law, till all be fulfilled,\u201d should be followed \u2013nay, superseded\u2013 by him who declared the Law a curse and not a blessing from God, and that only to win favor with those with whom the Master would have nothing to do \u2013the Greeks and the Romans. But the reason is not far to seek. St. Paul could not claim any respect from his own people. At first an implacable enemy of Jesus and persecutor of his followers, then a renegade from Judaism and therefore hated by the Jews \u2013so much so that his very presence in the synagogue, where he came to explain his schism to Judaism at the request of the other apostles, excited such contempt and hatred of the people as to drive him, an exile from his home. He could not, moreover, work with the other apostles, who would take him to task for ignoring the Law. He, therefore, had sufficient reason to make the gentile lands the field of his future work. He must work somewhere, and that was his last resort. The Gentiles were not the people of the Law. Actions in observance of the Law could not carry any weight with them; Law was a burden and a gate to sin if not observed, and hence a curse. `\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14pt;\">Thus begins the philosophy of his epistles to the Gentiles; they were a sinful tribe, like others.
