Did God Forget to Tell Us?  ____________________ Volume 1      No. 6

By Samuel M. Smith

The entire principle of Bible Study upon which we at Up Way Publications, the old Bible Apostolic Study and the new Followers of Jesus Christ Fellowship  and the principle by which all truth can and should be determined is whether or not it agrees with all that the Bible says on the subject and neither adding our own opinions or logic to it nor taking away from it.

From Genesis to Revelation, God repeatedly says that He is One and His name One. Repeatedly we are told and shown that he is an All Powerful Omnipotent Spirit. Over and over we are told that He is present everywhere in the universe, controlling and regulating and managing everything by His word. If He were a Person, that is a mask or a physical being or a man-type body, He could not be everywhere because our sun, all the moons, stars and planets throughout the universe would be filling His Body with foreign elements like bullets in a man!! If God had been limited to the physical body of the One who told Abram that he was to be Abraham, the Father of many nations, as many people think of Him, God could not have been Omnipotent at that time.  It would have been an impossibility both by definition and in reality. So, too, when He wrestled with Jacob, showed Himself to Moses in the Burning Bush and on Mt. Sinai, as the Fourth Man in the fire when Nebuchadnezzar put the faithful Hebrew  youngh men in the fiery furnace.

Why can we not believe the Angel Gabriel when he told Mary that the Holy Spirit would impregnate her and that her Son would be called the Son of the Highest?

So long as I remain on teaching in this way, even those who believe the most opposite from me on the matter of the Bible Plan of Salvation, Water Baptism or the Trinity,  listen and agree when and while I point out step by step what the Bible says. But then they begin to bring in logic and theory and the so-called Apostles' Creed or the Nicene Creed as though it were Bible. Rest assured that neither of these creeds goes back to the days of the original Apostles.
For many years now, ever since I saw that I had been misled, I have marvelled at the spiritual blindness of those who say that "Well it is true that the bible doesn't use the word "trinity" anywhere, but the "principle" of the trinity is all through the Bible."

Whether they realize it or not, these preachers and Bible teachers are saying that one the one hand, it is crucial to whether you are a Christian or not to believe in the "Trinity" but that God totally forgot to even mention it in His Divinely inspired Word!!!

AMAZING!!!Whether you do or do not believe in the trinity really IS important,  however. If you believe in any god that is not the One True and Living God of the Bible, you are believing in a false god. From the moments leading to the first sin of mankind, Satan has cleverly asked his most important and oldest question, "Yea, hath God said...?"

Not one place in the Bible does Ged ever say, "Thou shalt love the Trinity with all thy heart..." Not one place does God ever say,
