Truth or Trinity
The doctrine of the trinity is usually summed up as a belief in one God existing in three distinct but equal persons. But did you realize that even though it’s a common assumption among many sincere Christian people, the word trinity doesn’t appear anywhere in the Bible? The language of the doctrine is the language of the ancient church taken straight from pagan Greek philosophy. The New Unger's Bible Dictionary in its article on the trinity concedes that the Trinitarian concept is humanly incomprehensible!
The Two Powers, One Concealed, One Revealed as an idea was not deemed heretical in Jewish theology until the second century C.E. During the Second Temple period,
Jn 10:34 The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone thee not; but for blasphemy; and because that thou, being a man, makest thyself Elohim. Yahusha answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, Ye are gods?35 If he called them gods, unto whom the word of Elohim came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of Elohim?
Abraham knew the truth:
18:1 And vuvh appeared to him in the plains of Mamre: and Avraham sat in the tent door in the heat of the day. 2 And Avraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and see, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them at the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground…shâchâh to bow-worship-do reverence.
The Double portion of YHWH – The two YHWH’s once a hidden mystery now revealed:
Eph 3:9 And to make all men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of the world hath been hid in יהוה , who created all things by Messiah Yahusha.
Beresheeth 19:24. Then Yahweh rained on Sodom and Gomorrah brimstone and fire from Yahweh out of heaven.
YHWH rained fire from יהוה!
Is 13:17 See, I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it. 18 Their bows also shall dash the young men to pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb; their eye shall not spare children. 19 And Babylon, the glory of all kingdoms, the glory of the Chaldeans’ pride shall become as when Elohim overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
The two YHWH’S – one in the upper dimension and one in the lower, a plurality of beings in unity of purpose and action.

Josh 5:13 And it came to pass, when Yahoshua was by Yericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, see, there stood a Man opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand: and Yahoshua went to Him, and said to Him, Are You for us, or for our enemies?14 And He said, No; but as Captain of the armies 1 of vuvh I am now come. And Yahoshua fell on his face to the earth, and did worship, and said to Him, What says My Master to His servant? 15 And the captain of vuvh’s camp said to Yahoshua, Loose your sandals from off your feet; for the place where you stand is holy ground. And Yahoshua did so.
Exodus 23:20,21. “Behold, I send an angel (malak) before you, to guard you on the way and to bring you to the place which I have prepared. Give heed to him and hearken to his voice, do not rebel against him, for he will not pardon your transgression; for my name
Deut 4:35 to you it was shown, that you might know that vuvh He is Elohim; there is none else beside Him. 36 Out of the heavens He made you to hear His voice, that He might instruct you: and upon earth He showed you His great fire; and you heard His words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because He loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them, and brought you out in His sight with His mighty power out of Egypt; 38 To drive out nations from before you greater and mightier than you are, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day.
Jud 2 And the Angel of YHWH came up from Gilgal to Bochim, and said, I made you to go up out of Egypt, and have brought you to the land that I swore to your fathers; and I said, I will never break My covenant with you. 2 And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall throw down their altars: but you have not obeyed My voice: why have you done this? 3 Therefore I also said, I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be as thorns in your sides, and their elohim shall be a trap to you. 4 And it came to pass, when the Angel of יהוה spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voice, and wept.
Jud 6:11 And there came the Malach-vuvh, who sat under an oak that was in Ophrah that belonged to Yoash the Avi- Ezrite and his son Gidyon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midyanites. 12 And the Malach-vuvh appeared to him, and said to him, vuvh is with you, you mighty man of valor. 13 And Gidyon said to Him, Oh my Master, if vuvh is with us, why then is all this happened to us? And where are all His signs which our fathers told us about, saying, Did not vuvh bring us up from Egypt? But now vuvh has forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midyanites. 14 And vuvh looked upon him, 1 and said, Go in this your might, and you shall save Yisrael from the hand of the Midyanites: have not I sent you? 15 And he said to Him, Oh my Master, with what shall I save Yisrael? See, my mishpacha is poor in Menashsheh, and I am the least in my abba’s house. 16 And vuvh said to him, Surely I will be with you, and you shall smite the Midyanites as one man. 17 And he said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me an sign that it is You who is talking with me. 18 Depart not from here, I ask You, until I come to You, to bring forth my present, and set it before You. And He said, I will stay until you come again. 19 And Gidyon went in, and made ready a young goat, and unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour: the meat he put in a basket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought it out to him under the oak, and presented it. 20 And the Malach-vuvh said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so. 21 Then the Malach-vuvh put forth the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. Then the Malach-vuvh departed out of his sight. (the Malak YHWH vanishes) 22 And when Gidyon perceived that He was the Malach vuvh, Gidyon said, Oy, Oy vuvh-Elohim! I have seen the Malach-vuvh panayim-el-panayim. 23 And vuvh said to him, Shalom be to you; fear not: you shall not die.
Both the Malak YHWH יהוה מלאך and YHWH appear in the same text, yet both are identified as YHWH in other passages. There are two YHWH’s, one concealed one revealead
Dan 7:9 I saw until the thrones 3 were cast down, and the Ancient of Days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: His throne was like the fiery flame, and His wheels as burning fire.

But my face,” he said, “you cannot see, for no human being can see me and survive.” 21. Then Yahweh said, “Here is a place near me. You will stand on the rock, 22. and when my glory/Kavod passes by, I shall put you in a cleft of the rock and shield you with my hand until I have gone past. 23. Then I shall take my hand away and you will see my back; but my face will not be seen.”

Deut. 5:44 vuvh talked with you panayim-el-panayim in the mount out of the midst of the fire

Phil 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was and is also in Moshiach Yahusha 6 Who, being in the very form of Elohim, thought it not presumptuous, or blasphemous – that He is the equal of vuvh:

John 5:39-47 You search the scriptures, because you think that in them you have eternal life; and it is they that bear witness to me; yet you refuse to come to me that you may have life. I know that you have not the love of יהוה within you, for I have come in my Father’s name, and you do not receive me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; it is Moses who accuses you, on whom you set your hope. If you believed Moses, you would believe me, for he wrote of me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?”

Matthew 5: 19, 20. “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing; for whatever he does, that the Son does likewise.

Matt 16:17 Yahshua in answering said to him, blessed are you Shimeon ben Yonah, for body and blood did not reveal this to you, but my Father which is in heaven . 18 I also tell you, You are a stone (masc.)! So upon this, the stone (fem.), I will build-a-home = “house-build.”) for my called-out ones, and the gates of hell will not succeed against it.
Psalms 8:3-5. When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars that thou hast established; who is man that thou art mindful of him, and the ben-adam/ Son of Man that thou dost care for him? Yet thou hast made him little less than the elohim, and dost crown him with kavod and honor.
The writer of Hebrews interprets this passage identifying Yahshua as this man:
Hebrews 2:6-8. It has been testified somewhere, “What is man that thou art mindful of him, or the ben-adam, that thou carest for him? Thou didst make him for a little while lower than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honor, putting everything in subjection under his feet.”
Yahshua is subordinate:
Romans 8:29. For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
Colossians 1:13-17. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: Who is the image of the invisible Elohim, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all (other) things created…And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
Zechariah 14;3. Then shall יהוה go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle. And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
Revelation 19:11-16 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war. His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself. And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of יהוה . And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Elohim El Shaddai. And he hath on his vesture and on his banner a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS.
Psalms 2:7,8 7. I will declare the decree: יהוה hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Luke, “You are my son, the beloved. This day I have begotten you”
