JAHOVAH God One LORD?
Or .......Three God's WITH ONE PURPOSE?
The Papal Councils of early Rome together with their counterparts who sought to destroy the early Church interpreted this in accordance with Constantine and his views as he never abandoned sun worship and in his death still functioned as the Pontifex Maximus which means chief of the Pagan Priests. The Pagan theology was not original with Constantine it has historically been a part of Satan's attack on the people of God throughout the Old Testament especially gaining ground and being written into the Talmud and the Kabala during the Babylonian captivity.
Some trinities understood by Jewish and Roman philosophers are Zeus, Semele and Bakkos or Bacchus another is Nimrod, his wife, and their son who was the personification of Nimrod.
These ideals and reverence for these as gods are revealed as poisonous to the followers of Christ in the letters to the seven Churches. As Christ plainly deals with this issue and calls for repentance, acknowledging his awareness of where Satan's seat and the places where Satan is worshipped are.
There were those who identified themselves as the heritage of God but Christ said, they make this claim falsely. Whether through ignorance or stubborn unwillingness to repent and turn to Christ and obey the Gospel they were according to Christ not part of the family of God but rather the Posterity of the Devil and bringing doctrines that were destructive to God’s people.
These things also caused division among the Jews. Those who came out of Egypt were polluted with the ideals and the reverence of the heathen gods. Many continued to regress back into the pagan customs of Egypt even Aaron God's man a great leader and Moses brother built the Golden calf.
Many probably trusted Aaron’s judgment because he was God's man and a chosen leader of the people. However even though they followed God's man the unrepentant were smitten by serpents and death, the ground even opening to swallow up the abomination of those who sought pleasure in defaming the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Constantine was very successful in blending Pagan theology, rituals and decorations in dedicating his new capital Constantinople. Using Magic formulas of his profession he offered protection by Pagan rituals for crops and healed diseases. Constantine also assumed upon himself the office as the 13th apostle building monuments to the 12 apostles around his own which centered him as the chief apostle.
Many today are simply following the Teachings of (God's Man), (Traditional Church formalities) and (Customs of the Papacy)
Truth is, the only thing that can truly set us free and restore us to the Kingdom of God is Jesus, or that is Yahshua as he revealed his name to Paul (Saul) in the book of Acts.
Yahshua Said, I am the way the Truth and the Life.
Christ revealed his Name to Paul (Saul) and Paul described his encounter as a blinding light, however we know God is not a 5000 watt light bulb. Yah revealed himself at the burning bush to Moses but we do know God is not a bush or a tree.
However many worshipped the pagan gods in the groves and worshipped the trees. Satan has always sought to corrupt the truth in subtlety as he did with Eve in the Garden of Eden. He is still attempting to dethrone God in the hearts of men today and has no plan to release his hold which is fastened to mankind by unrepentant sin and willful disobedience to the revealed Word of God.
The Gospel and obedience to the Gospel has been under attack ever since Satan understood the power of faith in those who are obedient to the Gospel of Christ.

Lucifer the deity of pagan worship....... a Trinity?
1. The fallen angel in rebellion against God's Kingdom. Rev. 12:7, Isa. 14:12-14
2. The Father of Sin and the Children of rebellion, and a murderer from the beginning John 8:44
3. The Spirit of wickedness in the children of disobedience. Eph. 2:2, 5:6, Col 3:6
Isa. 14:12-15
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! [how] art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
It's time to come out of the dark ages and get back to the Bible and the example of the Gospel of Christ, as it has been revealed in the Old and New Testaments. God is one Lord! Duet. 6:4, Mark. 12:29, 1 Cor. 8:6.
We don't have to understand all of God's mysteries, how God exists, or in what form, but we have to be espoused to Christ our redeemer.
Christ by his sacrifice paid the wages of sin, that we, those who are espoused to him by His work at Calvary and through our obedience to the Gospel, may be found at His coming, to be forgiven of our sins, an active partaker of God's Grace, and a chaste bride who has not played the harlot or disgraced the bridegroom at his coming, that the bride may share in the grooms, poverty, His suffering and his wealth to become heirs with Him in the Kingdom of God. We must keep the oil in our lamps, and the lamp always prepared, and at hand, that we may be ready at the groom's calling, that we may be found as the wise virgins, who are always ready and waiting to enter into the great marriage feast in heaven.
