Simple Rundown: Why the Nicene Creed is Wrong on the Trinity The Nicene Creed (325 AD) says Jesus is โ€œbegotten, not made,โ€ โ€œof one substance with the Father,โ€ and co-equal/co-eternal. Scripture says the opposite: There is one true God โ€” the Father (Yah). The Messiah (Jesus/Yahshua) is His first creation โ€” divine, but created first, then used by the Father to create everything else. He is the perfect Son and Agent of the Father, not the Father Himself. Key Proofs (Easy to Copy & Share) Only One True God = The Father John 17:3 (Jesus praying): โ€œThis is eternal life: that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.โ€ 1 Corinthians 8:6: โ€œFor us there is one God, the Father, from whom all things cameโ€ฆ and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came.โ€ Messiah is the First Creation Colossians 1:15: โ€œHe is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.โ€ Revelation 3:14 (Jesus speaking): โ€œThe beginning [origin] of the creation of God.โ€ Proverbs 8:22 (about the Messiah as Wisdom): โ€œThe Lord created me at the beginning of His work, the first of His acts of old.โ€ Everything Else Was Created Through Him Colossians 1:16: โ€œFor by Him all things were createdโ€ฆ all things were created through Him and for Him.โ€ (He is the first, then the Father creates the rest through Him.) He is Divine โ€” But Subordinate John 1:1: โ€œIn the beginning was the Wordโ€ฆ the Word was with God, and the Word was divine.โ€ Colossians 2:9: โ€œIn Him all the fullness of deity dwellsโ€ (because the Father gave it to Him). John 14:28: โ€œThe Father is greater than I.โ€ 1 Corinthians 11:3: โ€œThe head of Christ is God.โ€ 1 Corinthians 15:28: โ€œThe Son Himself will be subjected to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.โ€ Bottom Line (Simple Version) Nicene Creed/Trinity: Father + Son + Spirit = one equal God, all uncreated. Scripture: One God (the Father). His first & only direct creation is His divine Son. Everything else was made through the Son. The Son is exalted, worthy of honor, but always under the Father. Why this matters: The Creed adds man-made ideas that hide the beautiful truth โ€” Yah the Father is the only uncreated God, and He gave us His perfect firstborn Son as our Savior and King.Share these verses directly. Let Scripture speak. The early believers before Nicaea often understood this simpler biblical view. Return to what the Bible actually says. John 17:3 is the clearest: Know the only true God (Father) and the Messiah He sent. Thatโ€™s eternal life.

Dear friend,What a beautiful hope we have in the God of Israel! He doesnโ€™t just command us to obeyโ€”He promises to transform us from the inside so we can walk in His ways with joy.Look at these precious promises in the Tanakh:Ezekiel 36:26-27 โ€œI will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put My spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes, and you will keep My ordinances and do them.โ€Jeremiah 31:33 โ€œBut this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,โ€ declares the Lord, โ€œI will put My Torah within them and on their heart I will write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.โ€Deuteronomy 30:6 โ€œMoreover the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your descendants, to love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.โ€These verses fill me with such gratitude! The same God who gave us His Torah on Sinai now promises to write it on our hearts by His Spirit. No more striving alone in our own weaknessโ€”He empowers us to overcome sin, walk in righteousness, and love Him fully. What amazing grace!May the Lord write His Torah deeper on all our hearts today and fill us with His Spirit so we can live holy, joyful, and pleasing lives before Him. Blessings and shalom to you, beloved.

Fruits of the Spirit, Good Works & Reasonable Sacrifice: Torah Obedience in the Power of the SpiritThe fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) โ€” love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control โ€” is not a vague, law-free feeling that replaces Godโ€™s instructions. These fruits empower us to fulfill the Torah. Real love does no harm to a neighbor and therefore fulfills the whole law (Romans 13:8-10). Goodness and self-control mean we actively obey what God commands: caring for the poor, leaving provision for the orphan and widow, keeping ourselves holy according to His standards (James 1:27; Deuteronomy 24:17-22; Isaiah 58).We are saved by grace through faith alone โ€” not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9). But Paul immediately adds: we are Godโ€™s workmanship, โ€œcreated in Messiah Yeshua for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in themโ€ (v.10). James agrees: โ€œFaith without works is deadโ€ (James 2:14-26). Abraham and Rahab showed their faith by doing what God said. These good works are not man-made charity projects detached from Scripture โ€” they are the very commands written in the Torah, lived out by a heart changed by the Messiah.Our โ€œreasonable serviceโ€ (Romans 12:1-2) is to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God. This is not emotional worship while living however we please. It is daily, bodily obedience โ€” minds renewed by His entire Word so we can prove what is His good, acceptable, and perfect will.Here is the contention many hearts resist: Some twist these beautiful truths into a license for lawlessness. They say โ€œJust grace and love!โ€ while ignoring Sabbath, dietary instructions, sexual boundaries, and the rest of Torah. They highlight โ€œvisiting orphans and widowsโ€ as proof of their faith, yet label full obedience โ€œlegalism.โ€ They love a version of the Good News that lets them stay comfortable in the darkness they prefer (John 3:19-21). They are hearers of the Word, not doers โ€” deceiving themselves (James 1:22).This is not new. Paul, James, and Yeshua Himself corrected the same error: grace does not free us from Godโ€™s law; it frees us to walk in it with a new heart by the Spirit. True faith always produces obedient fruit. Anything less is counterfeit.Therefore, woe to those who call evil good and good evil โ€” who call Torah obedience โ€œlegalismโ€ and lawlessness โ€œfreedom in the Spiritโ€ (Isaiah 5:20).The loving call is simple: Come to the Light. Do the truth. Let your good works โ€” the full obedient life โ€” glorify your Father in heaven (Matthew 5:16). Grace saves us. The same grace transforms us into people who love Godโ€™s instructions and walk in them joyfully.This is the harmony of Scripture, not a new debate. Faith and works belong together โ€” forever.

@AbrahamShepard I really appreciate your heart for obedience and for wanting us to take Godโ€™s Word seriously without the endless debates that divide us. Youโ€™re right that too many use Paul as a โ€œget-out-of-Torah-freeโ€ card, and that has produced a lot of lawlessness in the name of โ€œgrace.โ€At the same time, I believe both you and Paul are actually saying the same core thing when we listen carefully:Torah obedience is โ€œworksโ€ in the sense Paul uses the wordโ€”good, commanded actions that no one can perform perfectly enough to earn justification before God. Genuine faith in Messiah is never โ€œaloneโ€ or empty. It always produces fruitโ€”visible obedience to the Torah out of love for our King. That fruit is the outcome of properly placing our obedience in Messiah: we trust that we are justified by grace through faith, and then we walk in the good works (Torah-keeping) that God prepared for us to do (Eph 2:8-10). James says it plainly: โ€œfaith without works is dead.โ€ Paul says the same when he describes faith that โ€œworks through loveโ€ (Gal 5:6). Both men are guarding the same truth: justification is by grace, not earned by our performanceโ€”and real faith always shows up in obedient fruit. So maybe the tension isnโ€™t Paul vs. Torah, but misuse of Paul vs. the beautiful harmony of grace + grateful obedience in Messiah. Iโ€™d love to hear your thoughtsโ€”how do you see James and Paul fitting together on this? Shalom, brother. Thank you for the time it took for your response ๐Ÿ‘

Agree with becoming more lawful, and I agree with your use of many verses here. However, I disagree with using the Corpus Paul to emphasize that point, because the Corpus Paul contains contravening verses on lawfulness and lawlessness. If one accepts the Corpus Paul as Scripture, a recurring pattern across Christianity emerges in which people constantly quote him and use his verses as a catalyst for lawlessness. By having to continually argue over the lawful versus lawless verses in the Corpus Paul, it becomes a superfluous pedagogical failure that does not ensure resolute scriptural continuity. It wastes enormous amounts of time that could be better spent on God. While it is useful in some areas for high-level theology, in other areas I see it merely as another Talmudic legal debate, an organization of a religious order, and commentary that does not rise to the level of Scripture for me. This is because when James and John write, they seem to directly refute some of the concepts found in the Corpus Paul. There is also the matter of 2 Peter claiming Paul has wisdom from God, but this presents several problems for me: A) Most agree this was written long after Peter the Apostle died, with unknown authorship, making it pseudepigrapha. B) In 2 Peter 3:15โ€“16, it says Paul had wisdom from God and that โ€œthey twist it as they do the Scriptures.โ€ But it does not specify which of Paulโ€™s letters are meant, nor do we know his canon or how many letters existed in the Corpus Paul at that time. Everyone is entitled to their belief regarding what counts as Scripture, but that remains subjective opinion. Something that is merely advice, such as when Paul says, โ€œI say,โ€ or โ€œNot God, but I say,โ€ is merely advice or sermonizing. Someone could also say their pastorโ€™s sermon was โ€œwith Godโ€™s wisdomโ€ and that โ€œothers will twist it as they do other Scripture,โ€ without meaning the pastorโ€™s sermon itself was Scripture. Using a methodological view from the Law of Moses, the Corpus Paul does not hold up to Deuteronomy 4:2 unless one sees it as advice rather than Scripture or law. C) 2 Peter 3:15โ€“16 claims that the lawless will take Paul and twist him into lawlessness, warning people not to fall into that state. Yet this has effectively been ignored by the vast majority of Christians. The lawless cannot use this verse for Paulโ€™s authority while simultaneously using Paul for lawlessness. It must be one or the other. That means most Christians believe โ€œPeterโ€ to be wrong and that Paulโ€™s letters are not lawful, but instead release them from the law. This only demonstrates pedagogical failure and lack of resoluteness. D) 2 Peter says those who twist Paul are of unstable minds. Yet it is clear that the Corpus Paul contains both pro-Torah and anti-Torah verses. Anti-Torah Paul followers rationalize away the pro-Torah passages, while pro-Torah Paul followers do the exact opposite. If Torah-keeping Paul were a ship, it would have hundreds of holes in it, constantly needing to be patched just to stay afloat. That shows it is not resolute. Since countless such ships have set sail and sunk due to lawlessness, it suggests an engineering design problem. Others trusted the shipyard, bought a ship, and it led them to ruin. That is why, in my opinion, it is a pedagogical failure. It is flawed and not โ€œspotless or without blemish,โ€ which would make it violate 2 Peter 3:14. Anything that needs a warning label is not Scripture. Lastly, I want to point out that many people who accept Paul as Scripture conclude that his teachings are greater than all others, which effectively leads them to believe: God was wrong, Jesus was wrong, James was wrong and Peter was wrong They then force every other Scripture into conformity with their reading of Paul. But who is never wrong in that system? Paul. That is treating Paul as the interpretive lens through which all Scripture must be read. In practice, many Christian traditions rely on Paul as the dominant interpretive framework, often subordinating earlier covenantal texts and the teachings of Jesus, James, and Peter to Pauline readings. I do not treat Paul as my primary interpretive authority because the narrative in Acts 21 presents an attempted public vindication of his Torah faithfulness that does not clearly culminate in success. To me, that raises questions of authority and whether anything should be viewed through the eyes of Paul at all. One may begin in service to God and later fall away. Balaam is one example of a prophet who became corrupt. Judas Iscariot was a disciple who betrayed Christ. Saul was a king who turned evil. Prior service does not guarantee final faithfulness. In the story of Balaam, he says, โ€œHow can I curse those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce those whom the Lord has not denounced?โ€ This shows that even he recognized limits established by God. Likewise, Deuteronomy 27:26 states: โ€œCursed is anyone who does not uphold the words of this law by carrying them out.โ€ Yet Paul says believers are โ€œfreedโ€ from this. But how can the law correct anyone if they are freed from that correction? Paul also says, โ€œChrist redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.โ€ In that formulation, Christ becomes the curse on behalf of others. Notice two things here: Paul appears to describe the law as a curse, and Christ as the replacement curse. Yet in previous Scripture, neither the Law nor the Messiah is explicitly described in those terms. If we read Deuteronomy 28 and 30, the message is clear: obedience to the law brings blessing, life, and prosperityโ€”not curse. This places Paulโ€™s teaching, in my view, in tension with what Moses taught earlier. James the Just also said, โ€œWhen you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.โ€ If Paul is claiming the law is cursed, then he is sitting in judgment of the law. If he is also saying Jesus became cursed, then he is sitting in judgment of Jesus as well. These are reasons why I do not believe Jesus the Messiah was cursed. Matthew 3:17 says, โ€œThis is my Son, in whom I am well pleased.โ€ Psalms 72:17 says, โ€œMay his name endure forever... All nations will be blessed through him.โ€ Psalms 2:12 says, โ€œBlessed are all who take refuge in him.โ€ Psalms 110:4 says, โ€œThe Lord has sworn and will not change his mind: You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek.โ€ As priest, he would also carry out blessing, as reflected in Numbers 6:22โ€“27: โ€œThe Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.โ€ So anyone claiming that a cursed person is the one blessing the people is, in my view, deeply confused, because it would invalidate the concept of a forever priest. Now I understand that Paul was attempting to use Deuteronomy 21:22โ€“23 as though it were a prophecy about crucifixion on the pole. But I see that as a category error and logical inversion (tahpukhot). Deuteronomy 21 concerns a person judged and sentenced under Israelite judicial authority according to Mosaic law, then placed on a pole by Israelite hands. Jesus, however, was judged under pagan Roman authority and law, and placed on a pole by Roman hands. Therefore, I see no direct relation between the two. I also see a cognitive dissonance in the entire current Christian community when it comes to Jesus being a 'criminal' under Deut 21 vs him being sinless. If sinless Deut 21 doesn't apply, if 'criminal' then he's not the Messiah. This violates the Law of Non-Contradiction.

I agree... Paul isn't scripture, is superfluous to what Jesus taught, and 99.9% of lawless use Paul almost exclusively to become lawless. And worse 95% of Christianity is lawless and broken into thousands of denominations because none retain The word for which ISAIAH taught men rise and fall like blooming flowers and green grass only to become withered but the WORD IS ETERNAL. Start at the WORD and if Paul leads you 'away' then he can go pound sand. Choose God, not a man.

'I'm going to say this in the nicest way possible. I don't care what the bible says. I just don't care...at the end of the day Paul was wrong." Pastor Joe Smith of Meizon Church (Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) explains that he doesn't care what Paul says in the bible.

Is โ€œBelievingโ€ in Messiah Enough? Or Must We Truly TRUST Him? Many claim to โ€œbelieveโ€ in Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiahโ€”yet Scripture warns that mere intellectual or verbal belief without ongoing trust and obedience is dangerous. Demons believe and tremble (James 2:19), but they do not follow Him. A living faith grows Messiah within us, leading to obedience to the Fatherโ€™s instructions. A shallow โ€œbeliefโ€ can leave us unchanged and outside the Kingdom. Yeshuaโ€™s Direct Command: After healing the man at the Pool of Bethesda, Messiah said: โ€œSee, you are well! Sin no more, that nothing worse may happen to you.โ€ (John 5:14) To the woman caught in adultery: โ€œNeither do I condemn you; go, and sin no more.โ€ (John 8:11) Grace brings forgivenessโ€”but it never excuses continued sin. Yeshua pairs mercy with a clear call to transformed living. Faith Without Works Is Dead: โ€œWhat good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? ... Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.โ€ (James 2:14, 17) โ€œFor as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.โ€ (James 2:26) Abrahamโ€™s faith was perfected by his obedient actions (James 2:21-22). True trust produces fruit. Warnings Against Willful, Continued Sin: โ€œIf we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a fearful expectation of judgment...โ€ (Hebrews 10:26-27) โ€œFor it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened... and then have fallen away, to renew them again to repentance...โ€ (Hebrews 6:4-6) Not Everyone Who Says โ€œLord, Lordโ€: โ€œNot everyone who says to me, โ€˜Lord, Lord,โ€™ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. On that day many will say to me, โ€˜Lord, Lord...โ€™ And then will I declare to them, โ€˜I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.โ€™โ€ (Matthew 7:21-23) A living faith trusts Messiah daily, submits to the Holy Spirit, and grows in obedience to the Fatherโ€™s will (Ezekiel 36:26-27; John 14:15). It does not treat grace as a license to remain unchanged. The Difference: Mere โ€œbeliefโ€ can foster false security and keep us from doing the Fatherโ€™s will. True trust in Messiah produces a heart that delights in His instructions and perseveres to the end (โ€œthe one who endures to the end will be savedโ€ โ€“ Matthew 24:13). Salvation is by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), but genuine faith always leads to good works prepared by God (Ephesians 2:10). Examine your faith: Does it produce increasing obedience and love for Godโ€™s ways? Or does it allow drift? Yeshua calls us higher: โ€œGo and sin no more.โ€ Trust Him fullyโ€”let His life grow in you to obedience. #FaithAndObedience #Yeshua #Scripture #LivingFaith #SinNoMore

Examine your faith: Does it produce increasing obedience and love for Godโ€™s ways? Or does it allow drift? Yeshua calls us higher: โ€œGo and sin no more.โ€ Trust Him fullyโ€”let His life grow in you to obedience. #FaithAndObedience #Yeshua #Scripture #LivingFaith #SinNoMore

Many churches today loudly claim โ€œScripture Aloneโ€โ€ฆ yet their traditions and doctrines quietly nullify Godโ€™s Word.Jesus confronted this exact problem:โ€œYou leave the commandment of God and hold to the tradition of menโ€ฆ You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to establish your tradition!โ€ (Mark 7:8-9) Paul warned the same: donโ€™t be taken captive by human philosophy or โ€œtraditions of menโ€ (Col 2:8).Sola Scriptura on paper is good. But if your creed, confession, pastor, or denominationโ€™s โ€œdistinctivesโ€ end up twisting, adding to, or overriding plain biblical textsโ€ฆ youโ€™ve drifted into the same error Jesus rebuked.Test everything against Scripture. Not โ€œScripture + our tradition.โ€ Just Scripture.Whatโ€™s one doctrine youโ€™ve seen elevated above the Word? Letโ€™s talk.

Step-by-Step Practical Test You Can Use TODAYGo to the church service. Stay polite, but ask these simple questions (write them down). If leaders dodge, get angry, or say โ€œwe donโ€™t discuss doctrine here,โ€ that is already a red flag โ€” wolves hate the light (John 3:20).Test #1 โ€“ Who is God? (Ask this first โ€” 30 seconds) โ€œAccording to Scripture, is the Father the only true God, or do you teach three co-equal persons in one God?โ€ Truth answer lines up with John 17:3 and 1 Corinthians 8:6. If they immediately defend the Nicene Creed or โ€œTrinityโ€ formula instead of Scripture alone โ†’ walk. Test #2 โ€“ Who is the Messiah? (1 John 4:1-3 test) โ€œIs Jesus the divine Son of God, begotten of the Father, who is now subject to the Father, or is He co-equal and co-eternal with the Father?โ€ Biblical answer: Jesus is the Son, the Word made flesh, fully divine yet the Father is greater (John 14:28; Philippians 2:6-11). Any answer that blurs the Father-Son distinction or makes them โ€œone essenceโ€ without subordination is the spirit of antichrist (1 John 4:3). Test #3 โ€“ How do we worship? (John 4:23-24) โ€œDoes this church teach that we must worship the Father as Spirit in spirit and truth, with Jesus as the way to the Father?โ€ If they push songs or prayers addressed equally to โ€œFather, Son, and Holy Spiritโ€ as three persons instead of directing worship to the Father through the Son โ†’ red flag. Test #4 โ€“ Fruit & Greed Check (Matthew 7:15-20; 2 Peter 2:1-3) Watch for 30 minutes: Do they emphasize money, offerings, or โ€œsowing seedsโ€ more than the Word? Is the pastorโ€™s lifestyle lavish while people struggle? Do they discourage questions or say โ€œdonโ€™t test the spiritโ€? Are they pushing extra-biblical experiences over the full counsel of Scripture? Test #5 โ€“ The Gospel Test (Galatians 1:8-9) โ€œWhat is the gospel you preach?โ€ Truth: Christ died for our sins, was buried, rose the third day according to the Scriptures (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). No additions about creeds, speaking in tongues as proof, prosperity, or works. Any โ€œdifferent gospelโ€ means the teacher is accursed. Quick Decision Rule for TodayIf they fail even one of the first three questions on the Father, Son, and worship โ†’ leave immediately. Do not stay for the rest of the service. Mark and avoid (Romans 16:17). Protect your family. The Holy Spirit will guide you if you stay in the Word (John 16:13). You do not need a building or a paid teacher to know the Father and the Son. This is not division for divisionโ€™s sake โ€” it is obedience to the Lordโ€™s command: โ€œBeware of false prophetsโ€ (Matthew 7:15). The full counsel of God is enough. Test everything today. Your soul depends on it.
