The Historical Development of the Trinity

The Trinity, one of the foundational and essential doctrines of Christianity, yet the word is not even found in the Bible (Grudem, 2004). There are thousands of books, articles, lectures, and sermons on the topic of the Trinity. However, one of the most helpful studies one can endeavor is the historical development of the Trinity. Studying the historical development of an essential doctrine of the church will help Christians become more familiar with Biblical doctrine. Also, it will encourage and equip them to defend their faith; it will shape them more into the image of Christ, and help them become better ministers of the Gospel (“Grand Canyon University,” 2019).

False Teachers

FALSE TEACHERS

 False teachers have been a plague on the Church that Satan has dispersed every since the beginning of the fall. Please do your research because these people’s doctrines are springing up everywhere and polluting the church. Please stay away from people that are listed below, don't ever listen to their teachings and if you do, your discernment should kick in and quickly see that they are false teachers (Word of Faith Preachers). Satan is able to persecute people big time in the Middle East and we know nothing of this type of persecution. The way Satan attacks America is by polluting the Word of God and polluting their minds. He brings and uses people like these below to misrepresent the Word of God and that’s exactly what these people are doing (Baker, 2006; Sexton, 2016).

 Galatians 1:8 - But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.

  2. Joyce Meyer

  3. Joel Olsteen

  4. Kenneth Hagin

  5. Benny Hinn

  6. Kenneth Copeland

  7. Paul and Jan Crouch

  8. Fred Price

Here are some good articles that will describe their false teachings.

  • Jeremiah 14:14 - Then the LORD said to me, "The prophets are prophesying falsehood in My name. I have neither sent them nor commanded them nor spoken to them; they are prophesying to you a false vision, divination, futility, and the deception of their own minds.

  • Lamentations 2:14 - Your prophets have seen for you False and foolish visions; they have not exposed your iniquity so as to restore you from captivity, But they have seen for you false and misleading oracles.

  • Ezekiel 13:9 - So My hand will be against the prophets who see false visions and utter lying divinations. They will have no place in the council of My people, nor will they be written down in the register of the house of Israel, nor will they enter the land of Israel, that you may know that I am the Lord GOD.

  • Ezekiel 22:28 - Her prophets have smeared whitewash for them, seeing false visions and divining lies for them, saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD,' when the LORD has not spoken.

  • Matthew 24:11 - Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many.

  • Matthew 24:24 - For false Christ's and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.

  • Mark 13:22 - for false Christ's and false prophets will arise, and will show signs and wonders, in order to lead astray, if possible, the elect.

  • Luke 6:26 - Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

  • ROMANS 16:17 - Now I urge you, brethren, keep your eye on those who cause dissensions and hindrances contrary to the teaching which you learned, and turn away from them.

  • 1 TIMOTHY 6:5 - Perverse disputing of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: FROM SUCH WITHDRAW THYSELF

  • 2 Peter 2:1 - But false prophets also arose among the people, just as there will also be false teachers among you, who will secretly introduce destructive heresies, even denying the Master who bought them, bringing swift destruction upon themselves.

  • 1 John 4:1 - Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Do yourself a favor and run when you hear any of these teachings from these people! If you would like me to add to the list of False Teachers, please comment below.
