The Evil Function of The Doctrine of The Trinity – Part 3

[Study Aired June 7, 2026]

We paused our last study quoting this inspired verse of scripture:

Joh 4:24  God is Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I left off the indefinite article ‘a’ because it does not appear in the original Greek. God is not “A” spirit. God IS SPIRIT. It is in His spirit that all things in heaven and on earth live and move and have their being:

Act 17:28  For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

God did not create the universe out of nothing. All things consist in His spirit:

Heb 11:3  Through faith we understand that the worlds [G165: ages] were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

It has been the ‘good pleasure’ of the Father to give all that He has to the Son.

1Co 15:27  For he [the Father] hath put all things under his [the Son’s] feet. But when he [the Father] saith all things are put under him [the Son], it is manifest that he [the Father] is excepted, which did put all things under him.
1Co 15:28  And when all things shall be subdued unto him [the Son], then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him [the Father] that put all things under him, that God [the Father] may be all in all.

This “all things under His feet” is cited from Psalms :

Psa 8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

Paul, without explanation, applies this verse of the Psalms to Christ, but read this verse in its context:

Psa 8:4  What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man [H120, ‘adam’], that thou visitest him?
Psa 8:5  For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
Psa 8:6  Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:

Paul takes a verse of  scripture that talks of “man”, ‘adam’, and applies it to Christ. All the writers of the New Testament do this without explanation. To understand this principle used by every writer of the New Testament read ‘Rightly Dividing  The Word.’

You said that you had understood me to say that Christ is the holy spirit. I did not say “Christ is the Holy Spirit,” as you say. I quote 1 John 2:1, which says Christ is the ‘Parakleetos.’  I do not say that. John says that. All I do is point that out. Here is what I did say:

“If the Holy Ghost, the hagios pneuma, “which is the Comforter” (Joh 14:26), the parakleetos, is really Christ in us, then there should be a scripture that calls Christ the parakleetos. It so happens that there is just such a scripture. You would never know it by simply reading your King James Bible, or for that matter, using your Strong’s concordance which is keyed to our King James English. If one uses Strong’s, searching the English word, ‘comforter’, one will see the four places where parakleetos appears in John chapters 14, 15 and 16:

Joh 14:16  And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter [G3875: ‘parakletos], that he may abide with you for ever;

Joh 14:26  But the Comforter [G3875: ‘parakletos], which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Joh 15:26  But when the Comforter [G3875: ‘parakletos] is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:

Joh 16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter [G3875: ‘parakletos] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

These scriptures certainly reveal the parakleetos “is the holy spirit” (Joh 14:26), as we have shown. These verses do not say that the parakletos is Jesus Christ. You would need to use an Englishman’s Greek Concordance (Wigram’s) or America’s Online Bible to find the only other appearance of this Greek word in all of the scriptures. It’s not translated Comforter there. This inconsistency in translation has kept the Truth of how Christ lives within us hidden from many for the past two millennia. Remember as you read this that, according to John 14:26, The Comforter (parakleetos )…is the Holy Ghost… The scripture before us is the First Epistle of John, chapter two verse one. “My little children, these things I write unto you that you sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate (parakleetos – not even capitalized here in the KJV) with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous: There it is once again stated straight out. “Jesus Christ the righteous” is the parakleetos, “the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost” (Joh 14:26). (End Quote)

I can see how the first sentence of this paragraph could be construed to say that I said that Christ is the Holy Spirit. To do so is the same thing as accusing Christ of claiming to be God the Father just because He claimed to be the Son of God and therefore “equal with God”. Christ’s ‘equality’ with God is signified by Joseph’s ‘equality’ with Pharaoh. All Egypt, signifying all the world, was required to bow the knee to Joseph, as if he were Pharaoh:

Gen 41:39  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Forasmuch as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art:
Gen 41:40  Thou shalt be over my house, and according unto thy word shall all my people be ruled: only in the throne will I be greater than thou.
Gen 41:41  And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, See, I have set thee over all the land of Egypt.

That is exactly what our “one God the Father, of whom are all things” has done with Christ:

Col 1:15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
Col 1:16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
Col 1:17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Col 1:18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
Col 1:19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;

I point out in the Trinity article that Christ never claimed to be the son of the Holy Spirit in spite of the fact that we are told that he was conceived “of the Holy  Spirit.”

Mat 1:18  Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.

Luk 1:35  And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

The reason Christ never claimed to be the son of the holy spirit is because of what this next verse reveals:

Eph 4:30  And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.

The holy spirit is not a person. It is “the holy spirit of God… the Father of whom are all things”:

1Co 8:6  But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.

You will hear very few sermons which include this verse of scripture simply because it denies the false doctrine of a triune Godhead. It doesn’t even mention the ‘holy spirit’.

You make this statement below:

“I understand this [‘man being a triune being] to mean that man because of his likeness to God, could commune with God. Man’s soul in the likeness of God generated a life that was as God’s Life. This seems correct to me because man’s soul is constantly generating or giving forth a birth of some life. Now this life is either good or evil depending on the state of his soul; whether it be good or evil. (So it seems to me) Now let’s consider what happened to the state of his soul after the fall, according to [William] Law.” (End Quote)

Paul tells us what ‘man’s soul’ generates:

Rom 7:24  O wretched man that I am! who shall deliver me from the body of this death?

1Co 15:45  And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

Adam was not created as “a quickening [Greek: ‘life giving’] spirit”. Christ tells us that if He does not die, the holy spirit cannot come:

Joh 16:7  Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

There it is. The first Adam was made a living soul, but the last Adam was made a quickening spirit’ According to this formula, a ‘living soul’ is nothing more than “the body of this death.” “Dying thou dost die” (Gen 2:17 Young’s Literal Translation).

Eze 18:4  Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

Paul tells us that the church at Corinth was:

1Co 1:2   ... sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Yet in his next breath he tells us that they are “yet carnal.’

1Co 3:1  And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
1Co 3:2  I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able.
1Co 3:3  For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?
1Co 3:4  For while one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not carnal?

In four verses Paul tells these Corinthian Christians that they are carnal four times. What does he tell us about being carnally minded?

Rom 8:6  For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Christ, on the other hand, is the ‘tree of life:’

Joh 1:4  In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

Joh 14:6  Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Adam never partook of the ‘tree of life,’ and yet the self-contradicting doctrine of  the ‘fall of man’ teaches us that Adam already possessed eternal life and an immortal soul, and then because of another false doctrine called ‘free moral agency,’ Adam, who we are told could have obeyed God ‘of his own free will,’ chose instead to rebel against God and eat of the forbidden fruit. Such doctrine would have you to believe that because God asked Adam “Where are you?” that God did this because He didn’t have a clue where Adam was.

Of course this was not the case. God knew exactly where Adam was. The fact that God told Adam not to eat of the forbidden fruit does not mean that He did not know what Adam was going to do. He did know exactly what Adam was going to do. He had already prepared the sacrifice for the sin that He already knew Adam was about to commit.

God even knew exactly how many hairs were on Adam’s head. While every minister claiming to speak for Christ admits to this scriptural fact, they deny that He would ever dare to know what thoughts were in that head. What utter foolishness! God is not telling us that He knows how many hairs are on our heads so that we will know that He knows how many hairs are on our heads. He tells us this fact so that we will be aware of His omniscience of all things, especially the thoughts in our heads:

Psa 94:11  The LORD knoweth the thoughts of man, that they are vanity.

Psa 139:2  Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.
Psa 139:3  Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways.
Psa 139:4  For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, thou knowest it altogether.

Pro 16:1  The preparations of the heart in man [man’s thoughts], and the answer of the tongue, is from the LORD.

Mat 12:25  And Jesus knew their thoughts, and said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand:

How does God know that the thoughts of man are vanity?

Rom 8:20  For the creature was made [right from the hand of the Creator] subject to vanity, not willingly [not by choice], but by reason of him [God, not by Adam’s fabled ‘free will’] who subjected the same in hope.

Anyone who knows that something evil is about to happen and does nothing to prevent that evil, is as responsible for that evil as the person who commits the evil. But God not only doesn’t prevent the evil, He creates it!

Isa 45:6  That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
Isa 45:7  I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

Pro 16:4  The LORD hath made all things for himself: yea, even the wicked for the day of evil.

Eph 1:9  Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:
Eph 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

Notice the similarities between what Joseph tells his brothers about their evil deed against him, and what Paul tells us here about the “mystery of [God’s] will” in Ephesians 1 :10-11.

Gen. 50:20  But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive.

Eph 1:10  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things [meaning all men] in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:
Eph 1:11  In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will:

You ask this question:

“I also cannot see how Christ, the Son of God, if a created being, is able to dwell in all his creatures. All creation was created in and through Christ, and all creation must have Christ in it if it is to have any glory or perfection. I hope you believe that I have no intention of arguing with you or anyone; I merely want to know what the truth is, and I feel that William Law has explained the nature of the Trinity better than anyone I have ever read. For a better and more in- depth understanding of what I have referred to, you can look up these two books of William Law’s on the internet and see whether you agree or disagree with him.” (End Quote)

I will conclude this study with these two verses where Christ promised that He would never leave nor forsake us:

Mat 28:20  Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo,I am with you I, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Heb 13:5  Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

In our next study we will see how it is possible for Christ to keep that promise.
