It is God Himself, infinite Truth, who has told us of the Holy Trinity. We believe it because we have God’s word for it. We could not discover the truth of the Holy Trinity by ourselves, so God lovingly shared with us His great secret. This revelation is found in Holy Scripture and is enshrined in Sacred Tradition. It is foreshadowed but not clearly revealed in the Old Testament. The actual revelation of the mystery came through Jesus Christ our Lord, and is clearly expressed in the New Testament.

In the Old Testament there are three enigmatic passages which tend to show a distinction of persons, especially of the Father and the Son:

When God created Adam He said: “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness… God created man in his image; in the divine image he created him; Male and female he created them.” (Gen. 1:26-27) God’s use of the plural and the singular both in reference to Himself, indicates threeness in unity.

When the three angels visited Abraham in the valley of Mambre, the Word of God says: “Looking up, he saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he ran from the entrance to the tent to great them; and bowing to the ground, he said:” Sir, if I may ask (He addressed one)…, and, he said: rest yourselves (referring to all three) (Gen. 18:2-5) The Holy Trinity is foreshadowed in the three angels, of whom Abraham worshipped one.

The clearest reference to the Holy Trinity in the Old Testament is found in the description of Isaiah’s vision in which the seraphim cried to one another: Holy, holy, holy, the Lord God of hosts, all the earth is full of his glory.” (Is. 6:3) This threefold “holy” refers to the vision of the Godhead, by which Isaiah was solemnly called and consecrated as a prophet.

In the New Testament the Holy Trinity is absolutely revealed. The first revelation was to the Blessed Virgin Mary at the time of the Annunciation and Incarnation. The angel Gabriel said to our Blessed Lady: “The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee and the power of the Most High shall overshadow thee; and therefore the Holy One to be born shall be called the Son of God.” (Luke 1:35) In this passage the three Persons are very clearly set forth.

Another revelation of the mystery of the Holy Trinity took place at the baptism of Jesus. “After Jesus was baptized, he came directly out of the water. Suddenly, the sky opened and he saw the Spirit of God descend like a dove and hover over him. With that, a voice from the heavens said, “This is my beloved Son. My favor rests on him.” (Matt. 3:16-17)

In Jesus’ discourse after the Last Supper, He revealed the Holy Trinity very clearly. He said: “I will ask the Father and he will give you another Paraclete to be with you always:” (John 14:16) This much I told you while I was still with you; the Paraclete, the Holy Spirit whom the Father will send in my name, will instruct you in everything, and remind you of all that I told you.” (John 14:26)

Further revelation and proof of the Holy Trinity is contained in the words Jesus used when He sent the Apostles to convert the world: “Full authority has been given to me both in heaven and on earth; go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations. Baptize them in the name of the Father, and the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.’ Teach them to carry out everything I have commanded you. And know that I am with you always, until the end of the world!” (Matt. 28:19-20)

The Holy Trinity is reveled to us in other texts of Scripture as well: In the Apostolic Salutation of St. Peter: Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ…; to men chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, consecrated by the Spirit to a life of obedience to Jesus Christ and purification with his blood.” (1 Peter 1:2) In St. Paul’s Trinitarian Invocation: “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all! (2 Corinthians 13:13) And Jesus said: “I and the Father are one.” (John 10:30) He said: “He who beholds Me beholds the One who sent Me.” (John 12:45)

From these texts of Sacred Scripture, the existence of the Holy Trinity is revealed to us. However even if we lost the Bible, we would still be able to know the existence of the Holy Trinity from that equally important part of the Deposit of Faith, Sacred Tradition.

The Church Christ founded has taught the dogma of the Holy Trinity from the very beginning. Immediately after the descent of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost Sunday, the Apostles went forth to preach and baptize “in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.”

The mystery was taught by the Church and professed by her children. The prayers used in administering the sacraments during the first four centuries and down to the present day show that the Holy Trinity was and is in the public belief of the entire body of faithful.

Yes, God has revealed to us the secret that He is one God in three divine Persons. And that revelation is contained in the Deposit of Faith, in both Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition.

The mystery of the Holy Trinity, as God has told it to us, is the mystery of three divine Persons, each really distinct from the other two and yet possessing, in full, one and the same nature. There are three divine Persons in one and the same Divine Being. The Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Spirit is God, and yet there are not three divine beings but only one Divine Being; not three gods but only one God. Yet the Father is not the Son, the Son is not the Father, and neither the Father nor the Son is the Holy Spirit. Each Person in the Holy Trinity is distinct from the other two. Nevertheless, each divine Person is not just a part of God, but God whole and entire.

God the Father, the First Person of the Holy Trinity, generates (begets) the Son and, therefore, He is called Father. He is mentioned first and is called the First Person, not because He is greater or older than the other two Persons, but because He is unbegotten He was generated by no one and proceeds from no one.

God the Son, the second Person of the Holy Trinity is co-eternal with the Father, uncreated, and equal to the Father in all things. He is called Son because He is generated or begotten of the Father from all eternity.

Because the Son proceeds from the Father by an act of the divine mind, He is often called the Divine Word, or the Wisdom of the Father. Recall the opening lines of St. John’s Gospel: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God; and the Word was God. He was present to God in the beginning. Through him all things came into being, and apart from him nothing came to be… And the Word was made flesh.” (John 1: 1-3; 14)

St. John received this name of the Second Person who is Jesus Christ straight from heaven: “And I saw heaven standing open; and behold, a white horse, and he who sat upon it is called Faithful and True… and his name is called the Word of God.” (Rev. 19: 11-13)

The Holy Spirit, the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Latin word spiritus means breath and the Holy Spirit is thus named because He is the Breath of love that is breathed forth, as it were, by the Father and the Son. He is the living bond of love springing forth from the Father and the Son. Since God is the source of all power, truth, and goodness, He must have a will as well as an intellect, love as well as thought. He must also love Himself, and this love is so powerful and so perfect that it is a living bond, a person, who is love, co-eternal and co-equal with the Father and the Son.

There is no time in the Holy Trinity. Though we speak of first, second, and third in reference to the divine Persons, time does not exist with God. The Father did not first exist and then think. Neither did the Father and the Son gaze upon each other and then breathe forth the Holy Spirit. This beautiful life in the Holy Trinity never had a beginning. It has always been from ageless eternity, and as it never began, it never will end.

It is to be made very clear to everyone calling themselves a Christian: You can only be a Christian if you are baptized in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Moreover, a baptized person who does not believe in the Holy Trinity cannot be a Christian in good standing.

The four most important doctrines of Christianity center around the Holy Trinity.They are the unity of God, the Trinity of Persons in God, the Incarnation of the Second person, and the Redemption. An attack on any of these doctrines is an attack on the doctrine of the Holy Trinity, and vice versa. Since all other doctrines are wonderfully interrelated and centered in these, it follows that the mystery of the Holy Trinity is the keystone and crown of all revealed truths.

There are many attacks on the truths of God’s Unity or Trinity. Do not attach yourself to any of them.

Here are some of the errors which strike at the true nature of God (The Holy Trinity): Atheism, Agnosticism, Polytheism, Pantheism, Gnosticism, Manichaeism, Arianism, and Macedoniaism.

Atheism denies the existence of God. It may be identified with religious or moral indifference. They are foolish people who claim to be Atheists. We can prove from reason alone that there is a God. Nonetheless there are those who are Atheists and along with them there are many more foolish persons who live as if there were no God and who keep God out of business, or education, or public affairs. To do this is to live as a modern day pagan.

Agnosticism is the first cousin of Atheism. Agnostics do not want to commit themselves one way or the other, either to belief or disbelief in God. Agnosticism denies the possibility of knowing God through reason.

Polytheism teaches that there are many gods; not just one. Polytheism is impossible because no one can be God unless He is supreme and infinite. Two or more beings, supreme and infinite at the same time, are a contradiction in terms. It would be like a square circle.

Pantheism denies the existence of a personal God and defiles some created thing. It teaches that God is the universe. One who entertains the attack on God of pantheism says that only one being exists, namely God, and everything is a part of Him. A pantheist looks at a flower and says the flower is a part of God. The Christian looks at a flower and knows that God is intimately within it but that He is also distinct from it. God is an infinitely pure and simple Being. There can be no parts, no material in Him. Present day Christian Science and theosophy tend to be pantheistic.

Gnosticism is a heresy which took place in the very days of the Apostles. The false belief of Gnosticism claims to have special, superior wisdom and preaches salvation through knowledge. Instead of teaching that there is only one Supreme Being, it mixes oriental religion with Christianity and teaches that there are two supreme beings-one a god of good, and the other a god of evil. St John wrote about this false belief in his Gospel.

Manichaeism, another kind or shade of Gnosticism, is a heresy which teaches that there were two supreme principles or fountainheads, one of good, the other of evil; one of light, the other of darkness. It rejects faith and mysteries, including the doctrines of the Incarnation and of the Redemption, and claims to base all its teachings on reason. Accordingly, it is also a form of rationalism, a religion based not on faith and reason, but on reason alone.

Arianism is the strongest and most devastating heresy that attacked the early Church. Arius, a priest of Alexandria, began to preach this false doctrine which takes its name from him. He taught that Christ is not divine and that the Son has not always existed, but that He is created. Hence, according to Arius, the Son is not co-equal with the Father but inferior to Him, not being of the same substance or nature as God. He was condemned by the council of Nice. And it was that council, the council of Nice who defined the Christian position on the question. This definition is summarized in the first draft of the Nicene Creed, which was issued by the Council to supplement the Apostles’ Creed and to explain the second article concerning Jesus Christ our Lord, which the Arians attacked.

The Nicene Creed of the First Council of Nicea (325): We believe in one God, The Father Almighty, Maker of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father( the only-begotten; that is, of the essence of the Father, god of God), Light of Light, very God of very God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father; by whom all things were made ( both in heaven and on earth); who for us men, and for our salvation, came down and was incarnate and was made man; he suffered, and the third day he rose again, ascended into heaven; from hence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. And in the Holy Ghost. [ But those who say: ‘ There was a time when he was not;’ and ‘ He was not before he was made;’ and ‘ He was made out of nothing,’ or ‘He is of another substance’ or ‘essence,’ or ‘ The Son of God is created,’ or ‘changeable,’; or ‘alterable’-they are condemned by the holy catholic and apostolic Church.]

Macedoniaism then came about, yet another heresy attacking the Holy Trinity (God). A certain Bishop of Constantinople, Macedonius, preached this false belief which was closely allied with Arianism. Macedonianism holds that the Holy Spirit is not divine. It was thus necessary to call a second Council at Constantinople in 381, which examined and condemned Macedonianism as the Council of Nice had condemned Arianism. This Council completed the creed begun at Nicea by adding to the last five articles more detailed explanations of the doctrines concerning the Holy Spirit and the Christian faith. This complete creed is known also as the Nicene Creed and is the one which is used to today.

The Nicene Creed of the First Council of Constantinople (381): We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, one in being with the Father. Through Him all things were made. For us men and our salvation He came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit, He was born of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate; He suffered, died, and was buried. On the third day He rose again in fulfillment of the scriptures: He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son, He is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

There are many new faiths today which attach themselves to Christ which are not Christian faiths.

Unitarianism is not a Christian faith. Unitarianism denies the Holy Trinity and stresses the unity of God; hence the name. Unitarians, though they call themselves Christians are not Christians. For by rejecting the Holy Trinity they deny the divinity of Jesus Christ and the truths He revealed, especially the fall of man and the consequent need of Redemption and the sacraments. The basis of this religion is purely rational. It rests on reason alone.

Mormonism is not a Christian faith. The Mormon doctrine is a confusion of spiritualism, materialism, Freemasonry, Judaism, Swedenborgianism, Campbellism, and several pagan philosophies mixed with Protestant Christianity. This belief that God the Father is a material being, a perfect man and a polygamist is an attack on the Holy Trinity (God). To say that God did not create matter; that He organized it is an attack on the Holy Trinity)( God). To say that Christ after His Resurrection set up His Church in North America among the Indians, remnants of the lost tribes of Israel and that God the Father procreated many souls destined to be gods after being born on earth if they receive Mormon baptism and keep the law of Mormonism is an attack on the Holy Trinity (God.) To believe that ‘What man is now, God once was; what God is now, many may become.’ is an attack on the Holy Trinity (God).

Jehovah’s Witnesses is not a Christian faith. Jehovah’s Witnesses is religion founded in the United States by a one-time Presbyterian, then Congregationalist, then non-believer who claimed a personal reclamation. This sect believes that the Bible is more reliable source than tradition is. They believe in Christ as God’s Son but hold Him inferior to the Father. They claim to belong to God’s New World State, all other governments being of Satan. This sect denies the Holy Trinity. It believes that Jesus was once an angel and became a perfect man and a chief leader for God. It believes that the Holy Spirit is only an expression of the power of God and not a Person. It is a religion of triumphalist arrogance and inflexibility.

Christian Scientist is not a Christian faith. This sect denies most of the truths of Christianity. It professes to be scientific but bases its belief in faith-healing while it denies the existence of sickness and evil as errors of the mind.

Scientology is not a Christian faith. Scientology does not believe in the historic Lord Jesus Christ. Scientology relegates the Lord Jesus Christ to mythological, even teaching that Jesus Christ may have believed in reincarnation. They believe in reincarnation but they call reincarnation “rebirth.” Hubbard even attributed Hindu teachings to Jesus Christ. The things which Hubbard said about the Lord Jesus Christ most certainly denied that Jesus was God the Son, denied that He was the Creator, and even denied that He was the Redeemer.

If you are a Unitarian, a Mormon or a Jehovah’s Witness, a Christian Scientist, a Scientologist, you are not a Christian. You may not be lost. For, if born or raised in these religions, thus, through no fault of your own you do not know the Gospel of Christ or His Church, but you nevertheless seek God with a sincere heart, moved by God’s grace, trying to do His will as you know it through the dictates of your conscience, you may achieve eternal salvation in Christ. Nevertheless, we who have the truth of Christ are obligated to tell it to you, and you are obligated to become a Christian should you en counter it in such a way as to know it.

It is another case however, if you are now a Unitarian, or a Mormon, or a Jehovah’s Witness, and you once were of the Christian faith. What you have abandon you must embrace again or you will be lost.

Attacks on the truths of God’s Unity or Trinity are to be condemned today just as in the past. And the distinction as to who really is or is not a Christian is to be made, as well as who is a Christian in good standing and who is not.

There is the harlot Church so very big and growing. Those of us who are Christians in good standing, we have a loving duty to pray for all who are not, and to speak the truth to them, that they not be lost. We are to do this even unto great persecution at the hands of those in the harlot Church.

We also must pray for each other, for as Satan has entered into Christianity in a way like never before; so many Christians are in need of rescue now that easily they could influence us into their folly.

It is so bad now that a great many baptized as Christians, even ministers and priests of Christ, are doubting or denying the Holy Trinity, and are doubting or denying Christ’s divinity. If you are one of them, you are hardly a practicing Christian.

But the evil one does not stop there. He has infiltrated the House of God in such a way as to even have those who worship him acting as double agents, posing as lovers of God while in fact doing detestable acts, even of the greatest kind. Yes, the greatest danger is now from within.

Christians, of all kind, are abandoning the faith. If you have lost your belief in the Holy Trinity, or, have accepted the watered down Word of God being offered to you by many leaders in Christendom tickling your ears with the fables so loved but so far from the truth in Christ, you are in great need of rescue.

Those words which are true and come from God, ignore them, twist them, and they become daggers to your soul.

To continue to follow after the lead of ministers and priests of Christ leading you to accept such evils as that of abortion and homosexual relationships (sodomy) which are attacks on the Holy Trinity, is to continue on as formal heretics and on the path to certain damnation. You may be baptized forever as Christians with the indelible mark of Christ on your souls, but you will spend eternity in hell marked as such, lest you repent!

It is because of the harlot Church that the remnant of God must suffer. If there were not this great false Christian witness which is being given by so many bearing the name of Christian in this country, both Catholic and Protestant, and by many throughout the world, it would be hard for it to happen, the persecution which will be. Thus, it is at the hands of Babylon the Great that there is to be blood. “I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God’s holy ones and the blood of those martyred for their faith in Jesus.” (Rev. 17:6)

Beware: The harlot Church hates the demands of God’s holiness and justice. She accepts lewdness. Thus, you see now the great movement where many Christians are accepting homosexuality, abortion and many other forms of evil as good.

Cleverly, Satan has followers of his using evils to hold up as good other evils. Sodomy (homosexual wants, desires and actions) is being defended as good by attaching the freedom to do this abomination unto God to the civil rights movement. Abortion is likewise being defended in the same way. Freedom of choice for the mother to abort or not abort is somehow thought of as a good thing as in the sense of freedom from racism. The evil one has managed to poison the minds of many that to oppose gay rights, or to oppose abortion rights, is like defending the evil of racism. If you believe this, then you will merit the same end as Satan who hates the truth and is the father of lies.

God has left no room for the kind of thinking now going on concerning the gay lifestyle and abortion. The Word of God is being ignored. The Word of God is being twisted. These evils are being accepted as good. But no one will have a leg to stand on when they come before God for having anything to do with the acceptance and practice of these evils.

God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah over this kind of evil and turned Lot’s wife to a pillar of salt when she looked back at the destruction, her heart with the people rather than God.

God has over and over again spoken of murder. And the Word of God is clear as to who it is that makes us in the womb. “Did he not create them in the womb like me, the same God forming us in the womb?” (Job 31:15) “You created my inmost self, knit me together in my mother’s womb.” (Psalms 139:13) “Thus says Yahweh who made you, who formed you in the womb; he will help you.”(Isaiah 44:2) “Yahweh called me when I was in the womb, before my birth he had pronounced my name.” (Isaiah 49:1) “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you came to birth I consecrated you; I appointed you as prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5) Only God can create life. To destroy what God has created? And to do this in the womb? The womb of a mother is a sacred place. That which grows in it, only God has the right to destroy. None who attach themselves to this great evil and remain attached will have an excuse before God.

All, baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, who have joined the great and growing harlot Church, are in danger of eternal damnation.

There is to be no doubt as to the Holy Trinity. There is to be no confusion as to who is or is not a Christian is this hour, the last hour of the last days. There is also to be no confusion as to which Christians belong to Christ and which belong to Satan.

Satan knew that the world could not welcome his anointed one should the great many of Christians remain loyal to Christ. So he hatched a plan. He plotted what you see now. But do you see what you must see?

The blood, not only of the saints, but of the whole world, is on the harlot Church. For if there were not the great falling away taking place, there could not be the great false witness to the world which is also taking place.

The world has grown dark with evil and it is growing darker and darker every moment of our existence here. Abortion and sodomy are a part of the devil’s plan. So too is the mark of the beast a part of his plan. This likewise will be thought of as a good thing. And there will be benefits to accepting it which make sense. However, it is to embrace Satan and his way of rule in this world over God and His. To accept the mark of the beast is to worship the beast or its image over God. It is those who do not fear the Holy Trinity and who follow Satan who pushes for this chip. Accept this chip in your body, do this, and you will drink the wine of God’s wrath. (Rev.14:9)

To those who are of Satan, to those who are of the world, the faithful to God are fast becoming the trouble makers of this time. Those who do not go along with the program of the devil and the world are now the biggest threat.

“Let him who has ears heed these words! If one is destined for captivity, into captivity he goes! If one is destined to be slain by the sword, by the sword he will be slain! Such is the faithful endurance that distinguishes God’s holy people.” (Rev. 13:9)

Go on with God in this hour, the last hour of the last days! Pray with me: Holy Father, Holy Son, Holy Spirit, Three we name Thee While in essence only One. Undivided God we claim Thee, And adoring bend the knee, while we own the mystery.

You brother in Christ, committed to the call of the Lord,

speaking from the grace of God, Eddie
