The real reason why the doctrine of the Trinity is not defensible is because it doesn't exist. How can you defend something GOD NEVER SAID NOR TAUGHT. There are a plethora of scriptures that GOD HIMSELF said that disputes the Trinity. So, who are we to believe, GOD and HIS WORD or man's misconception of the nature of GOD, that they deem the Trinity. There is NO TRINITY. Isaiah 44:24 Thus saith the LORD, thy redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the LORD THAT MAKETH ALL THINGS; that stretcheth forth the heavens ALONE; that spreadeth abroad the EARTH BY MYSELF; Deuteronomy 32:12 So the LORD ALONE did lead him, and there was NO STRANGE GOD WITH HIM. Deuteronomy 32:39 See now that I, even I, am he, and THERE IS NO GOD WITH ME: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. Deuteronomy 4:35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD HE IS GOD; THERE IS NONE ELSE BESIDE HIM. Isaiah 44:6 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I AM THE FIRST, AND I AM THE LAST; AND BESIDE ME THERE IS NO GOD. Isaiah 44:8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I told thee from that time, and have declared it? ye are even my witnesses. IS THERE A GOD BESIDE ME? YEA, THERE IS NO GOD; I KNOW NOT ANY. Isaiah 45:5 I am the LORD, and THERE IS NONE ELSE, THERE IS NO GOD BESIDE ME: I girded thee, though thou hast not known me: Isaiah 45:21 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and THERE IS NO GOD ELSE BESIDE ME; A JUST GOD AND A SAVIOUR; THERE IS NONE BESIDE ME. Hosea 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy GOD from the land of Egypt, and THOU SHALT KNOW NO GOD BUT ME: FOR THERE IS NO SAVIOUR BESIDE ME. Romans 3:29-30 Is he the God of the Jews only? is he not also of the Gentiles? Yes, of the Gentiles also: SEEING IT IS ONE GOD, which shall justify the circumcision by faith, and uncircumcision through faith. So, where is this so-called coexistence, being that the LORD has said over and over that it's just HIM and nobody else. Titles are not persons or entities. They all ascribe to the ONE SELFSAME GOD, JESUS CHRIST. Isaiah 9:6 FOR UNTO US A CHILD IS BORN, UNTO US A SON IS GIVEN: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, THE MIGHTY GOD, THE EVERLASTING FATHER, The Prince of Peace. 1 Timothy 3:16 And without controversy GREAT IS THE MYSTERY OF GODLINESS: GOD WAS MANIFEST IN THE FLESH, justified in the SPIRIT, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, RECEIVED UP INTO GLORY. Colossians 2:2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of THE MYSTERY OF GOD, AND OF THE FATHER, AND OF CHRIST; Revelation 10:7 But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, THE MYSTERY OF GOD should be FINISHED, AS HE HATH DECLARED TO HIS SERVANTS THE PROPHETS. The MYSTERY OF GOD is NOT the TRINITY. THE MYSTERY OF GOD is that JESUS IS THE TRUE GOD AND ETERNAL LIFE. That is what you should be defending because that is what's written. Not a concept concocted by the Devil himself. 1 John 5:20-21 And we know that THE SON OF GOD IS COME, and hath GIVEN US AN UNDERSTANDING, that we may KNOW HIM THAT IS TRUE, and WE ARE IN HIM THAT IS TRUE, EVEN IN HIS SON JESUS CHRIST. THIS IS THE TRUE GOD, AND ETERNAL LIFE. Little children, KEEP YOURSELVES FROM IDOLS. Amen. GOD IS NOT THE AUTHOR OF CONFUSION but Satan is. It's the same old trick he pulled on Eve in the Garden. GOD says of HIMSELF, BY COMMANDMENT, HE IS ONE. The Devil says, HE IS NOT SURELY ONE, HE'S THREE. Mark 12:29-31 And Jesus answered him, THE FIRST OF ALL THE COMMANDMENTS IS, HEAR, O ISRAEL; THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: THIS IS THE FIRST COMMANDMENT. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. THERE IS NONE OTHER COMMANDMENT GREATER THAN THESE. Revelation 16:13-14 And I saw THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS COME OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE DRAGON, AND OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE BEAST, AND OUT OF THE MOUTH OF THE FALSE PROPHET. For they are THE SPIRITS OF DEVILS, WORKING MIRACLES, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that GREAT DAY OF GOD ALMIGHTY. The TRINITY is AN IDOL, just like the molten calf Aaron made for the children of Israel, which caused them to SIN AGAINST GOD. We don't worship IDOLS nor defend them.
Have you not understood the scriptures? Philippians 2:5-11 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. GOD humbled HIMSELF and took on the form of a servant for our salvation. The blood of a mere man can't even redeem himself. However, the blood of GOD, his death and resurrection can. A SPIRIT can't die. However, flesh can. Which is what GOD did as the SON. And since we know GOD will not give his glory to another, who else do you think JESUS is?

Thanks for the teaching brother!!!
Amen 🙏🏾
Amen
Jesus humbled himself. How can God humble himself and then be exalted?
Have you not understood the scriptures?
Philippians 2:5-11 (KJV) Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
GOD humbled HIMSELF and took on the form of a servant for our salvation. The blood of a mere man can't even redeem himself. However, the blood of GOD, his death and resurrection can.
A SPIRIT can't die. However, flesh can. Which is what GOD did as the SON. And since we know GOD will not give his glory to another, who else do you think JESUS is?
